Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 Review

Samsung is offering the fourth-generation Galaxy Tab in three different sizes: 10.1, 8, and 7 inches. The Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 has unimpressive specifications at first glance; however, they are sufficient for a relatively reasonable cost of $349.99.

This device offers what flagship tablets offered a year or two ago, but with up-to-date software. Apart from Android 4.4 KitKat enhanced with Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface running on a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, this model offers a 1280 x 800-pixel display, 1.5 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage, and a 6800 mAh battery. It has a 3-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 1.3-megapixel front camera, while the tablet is available as WiFi-only or with 4G LTE.

Like all other Samsung mobile devices, no matter their price, much of the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1’s casing is made of plastic. The front is entirely covered in glass, though. This is not Gorilla Glass, but it offers a very smooth feel, without any trace of annoying friction.

The tablet’s upper part has a very slim chromed edge, while the remaining edges and the back are carved out of a single piece of plastic, which is supposed to mimic leather. This has proved to be a successful feature on many Samsung tablets and phones, as it offers premium feel to the user. The Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 does not have fake stitches on back like other Samsung devices.

The tablet feels solid when held, and it does feel rather heavy, as it weighs 1.07 lb. (487 g). Still, it’s only 0.3 in. thick (8 millimeters) and offers pleasant

dimensions for a 10.1-inch tablet: 9.6 x 6.9 inches (243 x 176 mm). The bezels around the display are slimmer on the left and right sides than at the top or the bottom, which looks natural.
