Samsung has launched a new mid-range
Galaxy tablet, the Galaxy Tab A 9.7,
which is now listed on the company's
Samsung France website . The new
Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 is now
available to buy via various online and
offline retailers at EUR 339
(approximately Rs. 23,750).
The official website lists some bundled
offers available with the Galaxy Tab A
9.7 such as free 12-week subscription to
the New York Times, a free ebook on
Kindle, and up to 100GB of free storage
on OneDrive for two years. The tablet
comes bundled with S Pen and supports
calligraphy among other features.
For specifications, the Galaxy Tab A 9.7
features almost identical specifications
as the Samsung Galaxy Tab A , which
was launched last month. The biggest
difference however is the screen size -
the Galaxy Tab A 9.7 features a 9.7-inch
TFT display with a resolution of
1024x768 pixels. The Galaxy Tab A, on
the other hand, features an 8-inch TFT
display with a screen resolution of
1024x768 pixels.
Another notable difference is that the
Galaxy Tab A 9.7 supports Wi-Fi only
while the Galaxy Tab A supported 4G
LTE.
Rest of the specifications of the Galaxy
Tab A 9.7 tablet include a 1.2GHz quad-
core processor coupled with 2GB of RAM.
There is 16GB of built-in storage, which
is further expandable via microSD card
(up to 128GB). It packs a 6000mAh
battery with no word on battery life.
Notably, the Galaxy Tab A was backed by
a 4200mAh battery.
The Galaxy Tab A 9.7 tablet sports a 5-
megapixel rear autofocus camera and 2-
megapixel front camera. Apart from Wi-Fi
802.11 a/b/g/n, the tablet supports
Bluetooth, NFC, and Micro-USB. The
Galaxy Tab A 9.7 measures
242.5x166.8x7.5mm and weighs 487
grams.
Samsung, earlier this month, launched
two new Galaxy S2 tablets featuring 8-
inch and 9.7-inch displays. Both the
Galaxy Tab S2 tablets were touted as the
company's "thinnest and lightest" tablet
of the size. At just 5.6mm thickness, both
the Galaxy Tab S2 tablets were slimmer
than Apple's iPad Air 2 , which measures
at 6.1mm. Another notable feature of the
new Galaxy Tab S2 tablets is it comes
with built-in touch-enabled fingerprint
scanner.
