SPH launches BT News Tablet Edition with early bird specials

Singapore Press Holdings has launched The Business Times (BT) News Tablet Edition, allowing readers to read digital copies of BT on brand-new Samsung tablets.

They come pre-loaded with the SPHtab app, and have features such as automatic download of the latest BT e-paper when Wi-Fi is available, auto log-in, a two-week e-paper archive and social media sharing.

There are two models available on 30-month contracts. The first is the 10.4-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (LTE), valued at $698, available at $39.90 per month. The other option is the smaller Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1-inch Wi-Fi tablet at $29.90 a month. Both come with Samsung's signature S Pen stylus.

Subscribers who sign up for the tablet between today and Sept 30 will receive a Samsung EVO Plus 128GB microSD Memory Card, and complimentary delivery of their tablets courtesy of DHL Express.

BT editor Wong Wei Kong said the BT News Tablet Edition brings the best features of the print product to a digital platform.

"You get a seamless e-paper reading experience while having the flexibility to access the BT website and app, all bundled with a Samsung tablet you can take with you anywhere."
