Samsung raised an official curtain on the Galaxy View tablet, a massive slate that has been talked about a lot recently. Of course, the tablet market as a whole is on the slide, which is why Samsung did not feel the need to have a major media event as it would other products.

The Galaxy View is the largest Android product on the market says Samsung, although some companies are working on slates that a bigger. That said, the View is properly massive, with an 18.4-inch screen stretching across the device with Full HD resolution. Other specs include Sammy's own Exynos 7520 processor, 2GB of RAM, a choice between 16GB or 32GB of storage, micro SD card expansion, a 2.1 megapixel front camera, stereo speakers, LTE connectivity, and Bluetooth 4.0. A 5700mAh battery means the Galaxy View is good for 8 hours of video playback.

Unfortunately no price has been revealed, although previous reports pegged the Galaxy View with a $599 price tag for the base 32GB model. No launch date has been set yet, but we guess the Korean giant is aiming to have the Galaxy View on the market in time for the Holiday Season.

At Samsung, we are committed to creating new possibilities and bringing our consumers the best mobile experience. We are very excited to introduce the new Galaxy View, providing an entirely new way of consuming mobile video and entertainment."-JK Shin, CEO, Samsung
