It is true that I have been writing a lot more about smartphones and apps now on this blog. However, my interest in tech. blogging actually started thanks to a tablet. A post that I wrote about a Samsung Galaxy Tab won in a blogging contest and turned me into a technology blogger. So Samsung Tablets will always remain a little special for me.
Recently, Samsung has launched two new tablet devices in India. Both these tablets are mid range tablets and target the consumers who want to own a tablet but don't want to spend too much on it.
The two new tablets by Samsung have been named Galaxy Tab A and Galaxy Tab E.
Talking about these new tablets, Mr. Asim Warsi, Vice President, Marketing, IT & Mobile at Samsung India, said, "Samsung is committed to address diverse consumer demands and personal preferences. With consumers embracing new 4G technologies and innovative products, we foresee incredible opportunities in this segment. Samsung is a leader in the Tablet category in India and we are focused on expanding our content, services packages and on increasing our retail coverage. The launch of two new tablets will carry forward our legacy of introducing smart media devices and we are confident that new Galaxy Tabs will seamlessly become a part of consumer's daily routine."
