This week as promised, we will be taking a look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab4
[7.0]. Samsung has rolled out their new Galaxy Tab 4 line, which contains both
seven and eight inch variants, plus a ten inch model, but I could only get my
hands on the seven inch variant this week. Keep in mind that the Samsung Galaxy
Tab 4 is the budget line of tablet for Samsung. Let’s get the device
specifications out the way so we can head to the meat of the matter.

Hardware
The
Galaxy Tab 4 is a 7-inch device which is small and lightweight. It’s also easy
to hold with an estimated thickness of 0.35 inch. Weight is also a non issue as
well since it comes in at just 0.6 pound. The Tab 4 has a textured plastic
backing as most Samsung devices do, but this textured plastic back doesn't pick
up fingerprints, and it's incredibly scratch-resistant. So the worries of
damaging the paint job on your newly bought Tab 4 are low. The screen on the
Tab 4 is actually amazing for a budget tablet. For a price tag that circles
around the $30,000.00 mark you will get a bright display with a good viewing
angle which is great for reading and watching movies. Other noteworthy hardware
parts on the Tab 4 includes a headphone jack at the top of the device, a
micro-USB charging socket on the bottom, a speaker, 3-megapixel camera around
back, a 1.3MP on the front and a IR blaster on the side.
Software
The
user interface is a bit different than what most Samsung users would be use to,
but on the flip side it is a pleasant change to the interface. Things look well
organized, the icons and text are readable, and everything is easy to find. The
Multi-Window feature is present as well which can be opened by swiping from the
edge of the screen on any page. The interface has been redone with flatter and
white status bar icons which is a main feature Android 4.4 KitKat.
Final Thoughts
When it’s all said and done, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 has
some decent improvement over the Galaxy Tab 3 series which makes it a solid
purchase. The products mentioned in this article were provided courtesy of Royale Computers and Accessories
