Samsung Galaxy Tab E Lite, Tab A 7 for Cheap Tablet Families Michael Kwan March 29, 2016 News, Press Release You may have noticed in the last couple of years that great smartphones are getting pretty cheap and cheap smartphones are getting pretty great. We may not be quite there yet with tablets, but Samsung is certainly trying to accommodate families with more modest budgets. Available now in Canada are the new Galaxy Tab E Lite and Galaxy Tab A 7, a pair of affordable tablets with family-friendly features. The Galaxy Tab S series is gorgeous and thin and powerful, but it’s also prohibitively expensive for some people. The new $149 Tab E Lite and $199 Tab A 7, on the other hand, may be more amenable to folks who want a tablet without breaking the bank. As their names indicate, both of these are 7-inch tablets. The cheaper option is just 1024 x 600, unfortunately, whereas the Tab A 7 gets a 1280 x 800 pixel display. For my part, I’m always a little worried about handing off my tablet or smartphone to my kid, because I don’t want her updating my Facebooks and Instagrams. That’s why it’s good to see that these new tabs from Samsung feature a multi-user mode for up to eight unique user profiles, plus a safer and more secure kids mode (up to 6 kids’ profiles). You can lock out apps, set time limits, and so on. Along with options like the ZTE Grand X View with LTE from Bell, the Samsung Galaxy Tab E Lite and the Galaxy Tab A 7 are making it easier for families to have a cheap tablet to throw around the house. The press release, including the full spec sheet, can be found below.
