If you’ve always wanted to have something bigger than your tablet but more portable than your TV screen, then Samsung probably heard your digital prayers. The Samsung Galaxy View is now available for your entertainment pleasure, that is, if you’re living in the US. It will go on sale this November 14 on Amazon but if you want to have it at this very moment, or at least the next day until it gets delivered to you, then Best Buy is your best choice.

The Galaxy View is probably too large to fit into your handbag, but if you feel the urge to watch a movie or a TV show when you’re on the go, having an 18.4-inch device on hand is a pretty good deal. Its full HD LCD display and Exynos 7580 octa-core 1.6GHz chipset seems pretty ideal for multi-media purposes. The 2GB RAM may be a little too basic, but it should be okay if you’re not doing any complicated use of the tablet. It also has 32GB of expandable storage, which may be enough if you’re just going to use it to stream media or store some videos locally.

The camera specs aren’t that impressive though, but you probably won’t be using an 18-inch device to take selfies. It has just a 2.1MP front-facing camera. But it does have a full HD resolution for video recording, as well as a full HD playback resolution, both at 1920×1080. It has the usual connectivity (WiFi, Bluetooth), and sensors like Type Light, Location GPS, and Glonass.

The Samsung Galaxy View will set you back $599.99 and will be available in the US from the official site, with 3-5 days for delivery. Amazon will also be carrying it starting November 14, while BestBuy apparently has it in both its online and physical stores too. It’s running on Android 5.1 Lollipop, even though the BestBuy site apparently put a Windows 10.1 screenshot on it.
