Officially announced by Samsung back in June, the Galaxy Tab E slate is now available to buy in the US via Verizon Wireless. The largest North America carrier is selling the new tablet for $329.99 off contract, $129.99 with a 2-year contract, or $13.74 per month for 24 months (price available only to qualified customers).

Unlike the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, which was released last month in the US, the Galaxy Tab E is not a high-end device. It’s presented by Verizon as a “family tablet”, thanks to the fact that it runs Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, and comes with a Muti User Mode that allows family members to set up individual profiles. Shortcuts to Netflix and Hulu are also included.

The new Galaxy Tab sports a 9.6-inch display with 800 x 1280 pixels, and is powered by a quad-core processor of unknown provenience. Other features include a 2 MP front-facing camera, a 5 MP rear camera, 1.5 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage space, microSD card support, and a 7300 mAh battery.

Verizon’ Galaxy Tab E is compatible with the carrier’s XLTE network, and can be purchased starting today, both online, and in retail stores. Any takers?
