Samsung officially announces the budget-friendly Galaxy Tab3 Lite

Samsung has made a commitment to selling more tablets in 2014, and to succeed with that, they not only have to cater to the higher-end of the market, but also the lower-end. That is exactly where the Galaxy Tab3 Lite  comes into play.

The Tab3 Lite sports a 7-inch (1024 x 600) display (169 ppi), a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, microSD slot for expanded storage, 2MP rear camera, a 3.600mAh battery for up to 8 hours of video playback, and Android 4.2 along with TouchWiz.

They will offer both a Wi-Fi-only version (SM-T110) and a 3G/Wi-Fi version (SM-T111), but they didn’t offer any pricing or availability just yet. I would expect this one to be priced around $150.  Hit the break for the full presser.
