14 DAY TRIAL // Videotron is trying to improve its portfolio with lots of 4G devices. The Canadian carrier recently launched the HTC Radar 4G, and today it has debuted the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G tablet.
Regional operator's customers can purchase the slate starting today for up to $550 CAD outright. In addition, the carrier also offers a reduced $400 CAD price for the tablet.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with 4G has been available in Canada for quite some time via multiple major carriers.
TELUS, Rogers and Bell already sell the tablet for prices ranging between $650 CAD and $680 CAD, which makes Videotron's no term price tag quite decent to say the least.
Although Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G comes with Android 3.2 Honeycomb on board, the tablet is scheduled for an Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade sometime by the end of the year.
The slate offers lots of customization options thanks to Samsung's proprietary TouchWiz UX user interface. With access to more than 450,000 apps via Google Play Store, Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G users will be able to take advantage of additional personalization features.
Not among the most powerful Android tablets available on the market, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G performs quite well with its dual core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor clocked at 1 GHz, ULP GeForce graphics processing unit and 1 GB of RAM.
The tablet offers 16GB of internal memory, which is the only storage space users will get as the device does not come with microSD card slot for memory expansion.
As the name suggests, the tablet sports a large 10.1-inch PLS capacitive touchscreen display that supports 800 x 1280 pixels resolution, and features Corning Gorilla Glass coating.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G also packs dual cameras (3-megapixel rear photo snapper and 2-megapixel front facing camera for video calls), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 support, as well as built-in GPS receiver.
