SAMSUNG is making its tablet computers look more like its hit Galaxy phones in the hope that the smartphone success can boost tablet sales.
Samsung Electronics Co, the second-largest maker of tablets after Apple, is putting three new tablets in the Galaxy Tab 3 series on sale in the United States on Friday. The cheapest, US$199 device will have a screen that measures 18 centimeters diagonally. A 20-centimeter model will go for US$299 and a 25-centimeter one for US$399.
"Our goal is to attract Galaxy smartphone users and to make it the ultimate smartphone accessory," said Shoneel Kolhatkar, director of product planning at Samsung Mobile.
The "Tab" line is Samsung's value brand, undercutting the price of similar Apple models.
The new tablets have the same three buttons on the front as the Galaxy smartphones.
