Galaxy Tab A is an 8-inch screen, 320gm tablet that is 4G-LTE enabled and supports multiple frequency bands for both FDD and TDD modes, ensuring faster video streaming and webpage loading. Designed for reading and web consumption, it will be available for sale across the country from Saturday.

Galaxy Tab E is a 9.6-inch screen, 495 gm tablet, has a split view, multi-window capability, supports kids’ mode and will be available for sale on Flipkart initially and hit stores by the end of the month.

Galaxy Tab A will be available in smoky titanium and white colours and Galaxy Tab E will be available in metallic black and pearl white colours.
