AT&T subscribers who want to get their hands on the price-friendly Samsung Galaxy Tab E 8.0 will soon be able to do so, as the carrier opens preorders for the slate on May 6.
What is more, the starting payment for the tablet is $0, with an acquisition plan of $10 monthly for 20 months. This means that you get to spread a $200 investment on a new tablet over two years, which is quite a bargain.
For a monthly fee of $10, the tablet comes equipped with a Mobile Share Value Plan. Two color options are available for the slate: Frost White and Smoky Titanium.
Looking under the hood of Samsung Galaxy Tab E 8.0, we find a Snapdragon 410 SoC with four cores running at 1.3 GHz. Processing power is backed by 1.5 GB of RAM, and the default storage capacity is of 16 GB. There's also the option to expand it via microSD card, which is a big plus.
The camera combo pairs a 5-megapixel rear camera and a 2-megapixel selfie snapper that is in charge of both video chats and... well, selfies. On the visual front, the OEM packed an Adreno 306 GPU and an 8-inch HD screen able to display resolutions of 800 x 1,280 pixels. The juice will keep flowing through the device thanks to a 5,000 mAh battery. Software-wise, Samsung baked Android 6.0 Marshmallow in the device.
AT&T says that the tablet should run for as long as 13 hours on 4G LTE.
Another advantage of the slate is that it holsters the secure sandbox Samsung KNOX, permitting users to take advantage of encrypted enterprise-ready apps, on top of the standard apps one uses for non-commercial purposes. Another helpful thing is that the Samsung Galaxy Tab E 8.0 can easily turn into a DVR via the embedded DirecTV feature.
The slate offers moderate-specs in a soft-paced payment plan, so those looking for a Samsung tablet could consider it.
Aside from AT&T, the gadget can also be bought from other big carriers, such as U.S. Cellular, Sprint or Verizon.
"For the price, our customers are getting a portable tablet with high quality specs and innovative solutions that can only be found with AT&T," boasts Jeff Bradley, AT&T Entertainment Group's senior vice president for Device Marketing and Developer Services.
