Though there were rumors that Samsung had a huge tablet called the Galaxy View 2 up its sleeve, it has been confirmed that the device is real and it's coming to US carrier AT&T

In a very roughly edited video published on YouTube on Tuesday, AT&T introduced the device and a few key specs, though it did not specify any pricing yet.

The Android tablet has a 17.3-inch HD display built into a cover that lets you prop up the screen or handle it flat against its back. It has 4G LTE connectivity and four speakers with Dolby Atmos sound technology. The Galaxy View 2 also works with AT&T's Numbersync service, so you can make and receive voice and video calls.

Other specs include a colossal 12,000-mAh battery and 64GB of built-in storage, which you can expand by up to 400GB more. If you have a DirecTV Now subscription, you can stream shows and movies with the preloaded TV Mode app.

The tablet will be available on Friday, April 26. AT&T said it will share more specs and pricing information at the time of launch.
