Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 officially launches next month

-



Last month, Samsung showcased two brand new tablets in Russia: the Galaxy Tab A and Tab A Plus. Now, the company is officially confirming that the latter will be available in Europe starting May. More specifically, the slate will be launched in Germany, where it's going to be called just Galaxy Tab A. 

The new tablet sports a 9.7 inch display with an unimpressive 768 x 1024 pixel resolution and a 4:3 aspect ratio, and fortunately runs Android 5.0 Lollipop. According to Samsung, the Galaxy Tab A is made for people who want to read ebooks, browse the web, and use email on their slate. Thus, we're not dealing with a top-of-the-line device here. The Galaxy Tab A is powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, further featuring 1.5 GB of RAM, 16 GB of expandable internal memory, and a 6000 mAh battery. The tablet has a 2 MP camera on the front, and a 5 MP one on the back. 

The Galaxy Tab A Wi-Fi will have a suggested retail price of €299, while the Galaxy Tab A LTE (which features 2 GB of RAM, not 1.5 GB) will cost €349. Both will be available in black and white in Germany.

Update: A Galaxy Tab A with S Pen stylus will also be available in May (at least in the Netherlands), for prices starting at €349 (Wi-Fi version).

Apple Watch pre-orders open

The Apple Watch is here! Kind of. Pre-orders are now open online, which is honestly not as exciting as waiting in line for days in anticipation of the next big thing. However, the actual watches will take weeks, and for most people more than a month to arrive, as shipping times are surprisingly long. Apple Watch Sport ships in June (!) Apple Watch (stainless steel) shipping times are four to six weeks Apple Watch Edition shipping times vary between models from July to August (!!) Hey, but if you want to order a band without the watch it will arrive quicker: it only takes 2 to 4 weeks for most bands to ship. Some ship in May (classic buckle), and others are simply not available yet (modern buckle). You can pre-order an  Apple Watch at the Apple Store here  (external link)

 LG G4  have been claiming that the company's most high profile flagship for the year will cost more than the Samsung Galaxy S6  With just a day left until we get official word (hopefully) on that, it's plausible for third-parties that find themselves a part of LG's distribution chain to now have a heads-up. This appears to be the case with select German retailers, who already have pricing info up on their sites. Dug out by  WinFuture , the prices are actually below expectations, as the 32GB version of the G4 is set to undercut its 32GB Samsung peer – it'll apparently cost between €679 and €689, which is €10 to €20 cheaper than the Galaxy S6. These prices are only for the 'base' model without fancy leather adorning its back. For that one, German buyers will have to whip out something along the lines of €729 to €739, which is obviously more expensive than the Galaxy S6, but still cheaper than the extravagant galaxy S6 edge.
