Samsung slashes Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 3G price, offers it for Rs. 25,900
Samsung has brought down the price of its 10.1-inch Galaxy Tab 2 slate to Rs. 25,900 from Rs. 31,990
Tech giant Samsung has been able to grab a major chunk of the smartphone market but as far as the tablet market is concerned, it still has a long way to go.
Amongst all that local competition, Samsung has been hoping to carve a
niche for itself with its 3G enabled Galaxy Tab 2. Perhaps it is for
this reason that it has reduced the slate’s retail price by
approximately Rs. 6,000. Saholic is offering the Tab 2 for Rs. 25,900.
The 10.1-inch Galaxy Tab 2 is powered by a 1 GHz dual-core processor and a 7,000 mAh battery. It runs on Android’s Ice Cream Sandwich operating system but given the upcoming launch of Apple’s iPad and iPad Mini slates in the country, it will most likely upgrade it to the Jelly Bean platform in the near future.
Samsung’s tablet ships with an internal memory of 16 GB and a RAM of 1 GB. External memory on the slate can be extended by up to 32 GB. The Tab 2 is equipped with a 3-megapixel primary camera and a VGA front shooter for video calls. Connectivity options on the device include USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and A-GPS. It’s 10.1-inch TFT LCD screen sports a resolution of 1280x800 pixels and supports 16 million colours.
When Samsung had originally launched the Galaxy Tab 2, it had priced it at over Rs. 32,000. Given its features and all the local players that offer inexpensive, competent slates in India, the second generation Tab has not done as well as could have. Now that Apple is about to enter the fray with its own new and improved iPad and iPad Mini, competition for Samsung’s tablet is about to go up even more.
Bringing its price down might help pump up sales, but the tech giant would do even better by speeding up the Tab 2’s changeover to Jelly Bean.
