The GALAXY Tab A offers a better viewing experience and greater productivity at home or on-the-go
MISSISSAUGA, ON, April 20, 2015 /CNW/ - Samsung Electronics Canada, one of the leading suppliers of mobile technology in Canada, today announced the introduction of the new GALAXY Tab A, the go-to tablet for your family's digital needs, delivering a feature-packed experience that's great for viewing content and getting things done on-the-go. Designed to meet the changing demands of the today's family, the GALAXY Tab A keeps everyone connected to what matters most to them, while including the leading edge features they've come to expect from a powerful Samsung tablet.
"The technology needs of Canadian families are changing," said Paul Brannen, Executive Vice President Mobile Solutions, Samsung Electronics Canada. "The GALAXY Tab A enables families to share one device while experiencing a high level of personalization and a better viewing experience, all in a portable form factor, at the right price. I truly believe that this is the ultimate family solution."
Whether you're creating, consuming or connecting, the GALAXY Tab A has what you need, all packed into a lighter and thinner form factor running the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop software. Perfectly portable, the GALAXY Tab A is designed to simplify Canadians' lives. Whether it's safely letting children experience the digital world in Kids Mode, or having the ability to read night-time stories with Reading Mode, this tablet is ideal for the whole family.
Family-Friendly Features:
-- The ultimate family solution: Affordable and accessible, the GALAXY Tab
A can accommodate every family member. With the Multi-User feature,
families can create up to six profiles on a single device so that
everyone can enjoy the GALAXY Tab A with their own personalized
experience. Thanks to Kids Mode, kids can more safely access
kid-friendly content, while giving parents the peace of mind of knowing
their own files are better protected.
-- Better viewing experience: With the Tab A's awesome 4:3 screen ratio,
content fills the screen and appears larger. This means reading your
favourite Next Issue* publications, viewing videos, browsing, emailing
and social networking has never looked better. Additionally, Reading
Mode adjusts the screen colour and brightness to reduce eye fatigue,
making it easy to read on your device in any light.
-- Productivity at home or on-the-go: The GALAXY Tab A offers access to
Microsoft Office for Android (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and
Outlook) and the Multi-Window view allows for outstanding multitasking.
If you're on the go, Ultra Power Saving Mode extends the battery life by
shutting down background apps. Additionally, the 9.7-inch Tab A comes
with an S-Pen designed to make it easier to take notes, be creative and
to select pictures, images, objects and text.
Product Availability:
