The new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is officially on sale through AT&T online and will be available for in-store purchase on July 25, the wireless carrier announced.
The move should be a boost for Samsung as it continues to roll out new devices in its flagship Galaxy line, which has helped the company maintain its global position in the telecom device sector.
AT&T said they will retail for $269.99 with a two year wireless contract, or $18.50 monthly with nothing down and no annual contract. If bundled with a Samsung Galaxy smartphone, customers will get an additional $50 off the tablet.
"But with a long road trip or flight standing between you and your vacation destination, you're likely going to have some free time to fill. We now have another solution to keep everyone entertained while traveling," AT&T said in announcing the new sales offer.
The device is currently only available in its traditional white. The Galaxy Tab 4.8.0 is equipped with Android 4.4 KitKat with a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor, which should allow the user to move smoothly and quickly between the different entertainment options available.
The new tablet also has a number of interesting and neat features that should make it an instant best seller, including a large 8-inch HD display that will deliver a high-quality picture with 1080 pixels. It will also have a way for the entire family to enjoy the one device, with a multiuser mode that allows up to seven different logins that personalize the tablet for each person.
AT&T also said that the device has a 3-megapixel rear-facing camera that "takes clear, colorful pictures that you can post directly to social media." In addition, users are able to "watch a movie while also playing a game" with the multiwindow view, which enables you to use two applications side by side.
Customers get the tablet with up to 16 GB of internal memory, with an option for an additional 64 GB of expandable memory, which allows users to have music, photos and movies in abundance while on the go.
With Apple not yet having launched its latest tablet, Samsung hopes it will be able to get a solid portion of the market before its biggest rival hits the shelves.
