South Korean giant Samsung on Thursday launched its Galaxy Tab 3 range in India — two 3G-enabled and one Wi-Fi-only variants. The tablets include Galaxy Tab 3 seven-inch and Galaxy Tab 3 eight-inch.

The Galaxy Tab 3 seven-inch will be up for grabs for ₹ 17,745 (3G), while Tab 3 eight-inch will be available for ₹ 21,945 (Wi-Fi) and ₹ 25,725 (3G).

The new Tab 3s have been seemingly rolled out to take on the Apple iPad, which has a higher price tag. The move is also expected to challenge Microsoft, which is building a customer base for its Windows 8 Surface.
