Variety and personalized experiences for staying connected are in high demand and Samsung’s new offerings deliver.
The 7-inch, 8-inch and 10.1-inch Galaxy tablets offer a range of screen sizes and a suite of experiences built for a broader set of individual and family preferences, making this lineup of tablets ideal for both home and on-the-go uses.
In addition, each of the devices in the Galaxy Tab 3 family comes with added value through pre-loaded content and Galaxy Perks available at http://www.samsung.com/us/galaxyperks.

Familiar Galaxy Experience
The Galaxy Tab 3 portfolio blends the familiar Galaxy family feel in sleek and slim designs with compelling content and services that consumers will want to use in their everyday lives. The Galaxy Tab 3 devices also give consumers a seamless transition of content and services between various Galaxy products. Similar to the Galaxy Note 8.0 and Galaxy smartphones, a physical home and capacitive buttons are included.
Home Entertainment Hub
Each Galaxy Tab 3 device’s built-in IR blaster turns the tablets into a universal remote and can activate Samsung’s innovative WatchONTM service. This service recommends TV shows and on-demand content, enabling the tablets to function as the hub of the living room and king of second screen consumption.
Packed with Content
This newest portfolio allows consumers to discover, access and share new content, including more than 750,000 apps from Google Play and Samsung Apps, which makes the user interface even simpler. The Galaxy Tab 3 makes it convenient to stay connected while on-the-go, balancing any number of tasks such as emailing, managing your schedule, social networking, online shopping, reading, playing games and streaming content.
Children can study, research and enjoy a multitude of content from Google Play and Samsung Apps that can enhance their academic and learning experience from anywhere.
Parents can work even more efficiently with Samsung’s Multi-Window functionality, allowing them to balance several tasks at once with ease. Following the popularity of the feature on Note devices, Multi-Window comes to the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, offering true PC-like multi-tasking letting consumers use two apps side-by-side. The Multi-Window functionality is available with 20 apps, including Polaris Office, Google Chrome and Facebook.
Share experiences with your friends through the Group Play feature, which makes it easier to connect. You can connect up to eight compatible devices allowing users to play games and share music, photos, and documents — no Wi-Fi necessary.
