As part of the catalog we have the TAB3 10, which is a 10.1-inch tablet, running Android Marshmallow. Then there’s the TAB3 7 and 8 models, both monikers describing screen sizes, which are destined for regular consumer with an explicit emphasis on families with kids for some reason.

The TAB3 10, starting at $199 for the Wi-Fi version, offers a full HD screen, support for Android for Work, hardware encryption, supposedly 12 hours of battery life and an IP52 certification for dust and splash resistance. Its other specs include:
