Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Coming To Verizon With 4G LTE On August 17, Priced At $349 With Data Plan

Posted by David Ruddock in 4G, Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, News, Samsung, Verizon Wireless

This morning, Verizon announced that Samsung's Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 has been infused with LTE, and that the mobile data-fied cheap-slate will be available on August 17th for a rather appealing $350. The Tab 2 may not be our favorite 7" Android tablet anymore (hey, who can blame us?), but when Eric reviewed it back in April, he found it to be a highly capable little device. And that's surprising, because he hates things with stupid names.

Yes, those bottom two actually are the only other images provided.

As usual, Verizon does require that, in addition to the $350 you'll be dropping on the device, that you add it to your Verizon account (or create one) with a data plan for at least one month.
