The Samsung Galaxy View is a late 2015 18.4-inch supersize tablet. It has been praised for its sharp display that is both vibrant and accurate, its expansive screen that facilitates multiple windows, multimedia use and reading, its solid battery life and its intuitive stand. However, reviewers were critical of the large size which makes it difficult to use as a regular tablet, its middling performance and the steep price tag. The Samsung Galaxy View ultimately comes down to user opinion; it is a great idea, but too often it feels like a prototype rather than a finished product.
Pros

To that end, Samsung's included a kind of video service hub that's designed for the huge screen.

If the high price doesn't scare you off, the Samsung Galaxy View's large size and practical interface makes for a good alternative to a TV, if not a replacement.
