Samsung and Barnes & Noble have officially announced a new Galaxy Tab 4 Nook 10.1 tablet, available for purchase now with a $299.99 price tag.
Just last month, the two companies launched a 7-inch Galaxy Tab 4 Nook tablet, but with no offering on the large-screen tablet market. As a 7-inch slate may be too small for some, Samsung and Barnes & Noble are now releasing a larger version with a 10.1-inch display.
The new Galaxy Tab 4 Nook 10.1 is essentially the same device as the 7-inch model, save for the screen size. This means that it comes with the same features on board, the same specifications under the hood, and the same Barnes & Noble extras.
The Galaxy Tab 4 Nook 10.1 comes with 16GB of internal storage capacity, expandable memory, a 3-megapixel rear camera, a 1.3-megapixel front shooter, and built-in GPS capabilities for location-based apps and more. The Wi-Fi tablet also delivers the full suite of Google apps as well as the Chrome browser, and also comes with Samsung's popular Multi Window feature, which allows users to use more than one app simultaneously and share content between apps. In terms of hardware, the device shares specs with the regular Galaxy Tab 4.
"With the launch of the new large screen Samsung Galaxy Tab NOOK, we have a fantastic lineup of devices for our customers to choose from as we head into the holiday gifting season," Barnes & Noble CEO Michael P. Huseby said in the press release. "Customers are telling us that they love the reading and entertainment experience on our new 7-inch Samsung NOOK and we're certain that the addition of the stunning 10-inch model, alongside our popular NOOK GlowLight eReader will ensure that there's a perfect device for everyone in the family at Barnes & Noble this holiday season and beyond."
"The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 NOOK combines an award-winning reading experience with leading edge technology to offer consumers an immersive way to enjoy all types of content," added Tim Baxter, President of Samsung Electronics America. "We are excited to offer both the 7- and 10.1-inch NOOKs by Samsung to customers through Barnes & Noble's bookstores nationwide, just in time for the holidays."
The new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook 10.1 is available in Barnes & Noble stores nationwide and on the company's website, selling for $299.99. The tablet comes with $200 worth of free content from the Nook Store, including best-selling books, popular TV shows, as well as top magazines and applications.
