Also joining in on the Galaxy Tab S2’s release is Barnes & Noble. It wasn’t too long ago B&N partnered up with Samsung to sell a few of their tablets under their Nook brand. The Tab S2 is no different, with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 Nook officially hitting Barnes & Noble locations today.
This special Nook variant comes with a few pre-loaded Nook apps and offers 3 free books (from a selection of 20), 3 free magazines, and a $5 credit. It’s still priced the same at $400 for the 8-inch model, but those with B&N customers can get a whopping 10%-off with their membership. Hey, it’s better than nothing.
You can find the new Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 at carrier stores like T-Mobile and Verizon starting today, along with the usual suspects: Best Buy, and Amazon.
