It seems the South Korean manufacturer is launch a special edition of its 7-inch Galaxy tablet, which is supposed to challenge the cheapest and the greatest Asus-made Google Nexus 7 tablet. As you can see in the above image, beginning August 19th, Best Buy is expected to sell the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Student Edition for just $249.99, which is the same price tag of the 8GB Wi-Fi only edition of the tablet. But, Samsung is also throwing a special bundle with this special edition, which includes a keyboard and an USB connector.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 runs Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich OS with TouchWiz UX UI slapped on top of it, Super PLS LCD display of 1024×600 pixels, 1GHz dual-core, 3MP camera to record 720p HD videos, front-facing 0.3MP VGA shooter, microSD card slot for memory expansion up to 32GB, perform video calls and more.
Nexus 7 doesn’t have rear camera and microSD card slot, although it is powered by quad-core processor and runs the latest Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean OS. So, what do you think? Is it worth to go for a $249 Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Student Edition?
