What customers like about Samsung Galaxy View2 WiFi (3GB + 64GB)

  • Large 17.3-inch display ideal for media consumption and streaming video
  • Excellent battery life, with some users reporting multiple days of use between charges
  • Powerful quad-speaker system with Dolby Atmos support providing high-quality audio
  • Integrated kickstand design that allows the device to prop itself up for hands-free viewing
  • Helpful for users with vision issues due to the large, easy-to-read screen
  • Transition to USB-C charging, which is more convenient than the original model's proprietary plug

What customers don't like about Samsung Galaxy View2 WiFi (3GB + 64GB)

  • Heavy and bulky build that makes it difficult to carry or use portably
  • Limited processing power that may struggle with high-end gaming or intensive multitasking
  • Awkward charging port placement that can be difficult to access
  • Lack of essential ports such as HDMI, which limits its use as a secondary monitor
  • 1080p resolution can appear low-res when viewed from close distances due to the large screen size
  • Software updates are infrequent, with users noting a lack of major Android OS upgrades

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy View2 is a massive 17.3-inch Android tablet featuring a Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS LCD display and a distinctive built-in kickstand designed for stationary media consumption. It is powered by an Exynos 7884 octa-core processor (1.6 GHz) paired with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, which is expandable up to 400GB via microSD. Key pros include its immersive quad-speaker system with Dolby Atmos, a colossal 12,000 mAh battery for extended viewing, and its unique 'portable TV' design that is ideal for streaming and video calls via its 5MP front camera. However, its substantial weight of 4.9 lbs and large physical footprint significantly limit portability, while the mid-range chipset and 3GB of RAM may struggle with intensive gaming or heavy multitasking.
