Samsung to launch iPad-like mid-range Galaxy Tab A May 1

Samsung has a plethora of tablets of varying sizes and capacities and now it is adding one more to the lineup , ready to land in the US next week. For all intents and purposes, the Galaxy Tab A line, of which there are two (three if you separately count the one with an S-Pen), is a rather mediocre offerings on par with the likes of the Galaxy Tab 4 family. One crucial difference, however, is in the size and aspect ratio of the two, sporting the same 4:3 design the theiPads tout.

There is still some debate over which screen aspect ratio is the best for such tablets. One the one hand, you have the ubiquitous 16:9 or 16:10 widescreen formats that almost all of Samsung’s tablets adhere too. On the opposite corner, you have Apple’s famous iPads with their 4:3 screens. The wider screens lend themselves better to videos and wide content, but proponents of 4:3 sing of a better reading experience as well as less strain on a single hand. It seems that Samsung has somewhat conceded this fight, at least with the Galaxy Tab A.
