18.4 inch Samsung Galaxy View Now Available For $449

Samsung Galaxy View which was launched at the price of $599.99. Since then this is the major price drop of about straight 25%.

Samsung or Android’s first 18.4 inch device and has not received any good sales until now. The price cut can be seen as marketing tactics from Samsung side to gain some sales. In our opinion it seems that only few users opt for so big tablet, or particularly users having greater multimedia use on the go opt for it.

The 18.4-inch screen features a 1920 x 1080 resolution. This works out to a pixel density of 120ppi, the lowest we have seen in some time. An Exynos 7580 chipset is under the hood, featuring an octa-core 1.6GHz CPU and a Mali T-720 MP2 GPU. 2GB of RAM is inside, along with 64GB of native storage. Those seeking additional memory can use the 128GB capacity microSD slot.

Well, if anyone interested in this can head over to Amazon to get the deal.
