Samsung has launched a new mid-range Galaxy tablet, the Galaxy Tab A 9.7, which is now listed on the company's Samsung France website. The new Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 is now available to buy via various online and offline retailers at EUR 339 (approximately Rs. 23,750).

The official website lists some bundled offers available with the Galaxy Tab A 9.7 such as free 12-week subscription to the New York Times, a free ebook on Kindle, and up to 100GB of free storage on OneDrive for two years. The tablet comes bundled with S Pen and supports calligraphy among other features.

For specifications, the Galaxy Tab A 9.7 features almost identical specifications as the Samsung Galaxy Tab A, which was launched last month. The biggest difference however is the screen size - the Galaxy Tab A 9.7 features a 9.7-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1024x768 pixels. The Galaxy Tab A, on the other hand, features an 8-inch TFT display with a screen resolution of 1024x768 pixels.

Notably, the Galaxy Tab A was backed by a 4200mAh battery.

Samsung, earlier this month, launched two new Galaxy S2 tablets featuring 8-inch and 9.7-inch displays.

Another notable feature of the new Galaxy Tab S2 tablets is it comes with built-in touch-enabled fingerprint scanner.
