North Korea’s Samjiyon tablet no longer on sale to foreigners

North Korea's android tablet is not being sold to foreigners after it appears for resale at marked up prices

North Korea’s Android-based Samjiyon tablet is no longer to be sold to foreigners visiting North Korea, multiple sources in the country have told NK News.

Three separate sources, who requested anonymity due to sensitivities in speaking to media, said sales of Samjiyon tablet devices have been restricted to local citizens only, with one source adding the decision to stop foreign sales was because of tablets appearing for resale outside North Korea at significantly marked up prices.
