James Bond depressed the brake in his Aston Martin, slowing the silver beast down to stalking speed. As the car dawdled outside the six-star Maldives hotel, he rolled up the sleeve of his Giorgio Armani shirt, checked the time on his gleaming $20,000 Omega watch, and then reached into his pocket and withdrew the middling Samsung Galaxy S6.

Something’s wrong with the above scene — and Bond producers seemingly thought so too, because apparently they turned down a massive $50 million marketing and promotional package from Samsung, which would have seen Bond carry a Samsung handset in the new movie Spectre.

Why? Because Bond only uses the best.

Samsung’s new Galaxy View tablet, which ships with a giant 18.4-inch display, will be available in the U.S. on November 6.

But be warned: its midrange specifications do not come at a midrange price.

If super-sized tablets that aim to replace your TV are your thing, then Samsung’s new Galaxy View tablet should be at the top of your wish-list this Christmas. The device boasts a Full HD display measuring a whopping 18.4 inches, a speedy octa-core processor, and long-lasting battery life.

Samsung will launch its first smartphone with a flexible, folding display in January, according to reports, and thanks to one tipster, we now know which countries will get it first.

The device, codenamed “Project Valley,” is expected to be similar to Samsung’s existing flagships — specifically the S6 edge+ — when it comes to specifications.

A U.S. retailer has spilled the price tag and full set of specifications — and already started taking pre-orders — for Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy View tablet ahead of its official unveiling.

The listing describes Galaxy View as a “TV reimagined for the streaming age,” delivering “a portable, touchable TV experience plus a bigger window to your favorite apps and content so you can do more, view more and play more.”
