Samsung Galaxy View 2 price and release date revealed by AT&T

-

AT&T officially confirmed the device a day after we exclusively revealed the Galaxy View 2. It's the successor to the original Galaxy View "movable display" which was also launched on AT&T back in 2016. Some design changes have been made in the interest of increased portability.

The new model also has a slightly smaller display and ditches the integrated handle. There's a collapsible kickstand at the back for propping up the Galaxy View 2. Apps can be used in both landscape and portrait mode.

Galaxy View 2 price and release date

The carrier hadn't initially come forward the pricing and availability details for this gigantic tablet. AT&T has now confirmed the Galaxy View 2 price and release date. It's marketed at people who would like to have a massive, portable display for watching movies and TV shows. Content consumption is indeed a solid use case for the Galaxy View 2.

AT&T confirmed to Engadget that the Galaxy View 2 will be available both online and offline from April 26. It's going to be sold through the AT&T Next installment plan for 20 equal monthly payments of $37. This means that the Galaxy View 2 costs $740. It's more expensive than the original Galaxy View which was launched for $600.

So what do you get for all that cash? The Galaxy View 2 has a 17.3-inch 1080p display and is powered by an Exynos 7884 processor. There's 3GB RAM, 64GB storage and a 5-megapixel front camera for video calls. It features immersive Dolby Atmos audio and a chunky 12,000mAh battery. It's powered by Android 8.1 so no One UI, not yet anyway. AT&T has integrated some of its services as well. Customers can get easy access to DirecTV Now streaming and AT&T NumberSync for making and receiving calls on the device.

The latest data from IHS Markit shows that Samsung Display has retained its dominant position as the top global smartphone display vendor in the first quarter of this year.

Some OnePlus 6Ts have an issue with waves of static on the display

-

Based on a handful of reports on the OnePlus product forums, some 6T owners have run into a problem with their phone's display in which a pixelated sort of "wave" or pulse of bright colors travels up or down the screen. A reliable trigger can't seem to be found, but for those that are affected, it appears to happen more often on the lock screen while using either OnePlus' face recognition or the in-display fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone. The issue — which our Cody Toombs aptly described as "like something changed in the Matrix" — is demonstrated in the video below: VIDEO Based on reports, a factory reset can't fix the problem, and it doesn't appear to be tied to any specific SKU. Thankfully for those affected, it isn't a persistent or ongoing issue, happening only sporadically. Although it seems only a handful are experiencing the problem, we nevertheless reached out to OnePlus on the subject to see if it was an is...
