Personally, I’m not a big fan of buying tablets with contracts, but if you disagree, there’s good news: Starting October 11, Sprint is selling the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 for $49 with a two-year agreement. The 7-inch slate runs Android 4.2 and has an integrated LTE radio that works on Sprint’s network.
Samsung’s WatchON service and IR-blaster are useful here for finding and controlling television content and the tablet can be used as a wireless hotspot, providing LTE service over Wi-Fi for up to 10 additional devices. If you were going to get a hotspot on contract anyway, this might be worth a look since you get the same functionality plus a tablet.
