Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1

82% Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 Tablet Review | Notebookcheck
Smartphone for giants. Hold a 10.1-inch tablet to your ear and make a call? Strange idea, but Samsung has offered this feature for a couple of years now. Our review shows why the fourth generation of the Galaxy Tab still stands out from the competition.
Nexus 9 vs Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 comparison: Google's Lollipop tablet is worth the extra
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
The Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 might be cheaper but the newer Nexus 9 outclasses it in almost every area. This is understandable because it's newer so if you can jump the price gap, you'll be much better off with Google's flagship tablet.

Like its 7- and 8-inch siblings, the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 exudes mediocrity. The competition isn't quite as fierce in the 10-inch space, and most every other manufacturer is defaulting towards the low-end for their large screen tablets. As such, the Tab 4 compares favorably with tablets like the Asus Transformer Pad TF103C and Lenovo A10£195.97 at Laptops Direct. The Tab 4 easily eclipses the A10, but at $299 with an included keyboard dock, the Transformer Pad is more useful and a better value.

Comment

Model:

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 is a 10.1 inch tablet running on Android 4.4 (KitKat). It fits comfortably in the hand with the faux-leather back. It weighs at about 500 g (487g to be exact) and is 0.3 inches (7,62 mm) thick. The 10.1” display features a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixel with a pixel density of only 149 ppi, which means less than desirable sharpness for pictures. Certain apps and images will appear pixelated on the screen. However, the colors are vivid and bright.

The Galaxy Tab 4 is processed by a quad-core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz with 1.5 GB of RAM and 16 GB internal storage that is expandable by using its microSD slot. The main camera is 3 MP while the front facing camera is 1.3 MP, which is nothing to boast about but functional enough for the regular user.

The stereo speakers are located on the left and right sides of the tablet so volume will not be hindered when the tablet is being held. It provides a decent volume with a good bass. The tablet is connectable with audio jacks, micro USB port, microphone jack, and microSD slot. The battery can run for a good 6 hours with maximum brightness and WiFi on.

Qualcomm Adreno 305: Integrated mid-range graphics card in the Snapdragon 400 and S4 Plus SoCs that supports OpenGL ES 3.0 and features unified shaders.

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

400 MSM8226: ARM Cortex-A7 Quad-Core with up to 1.2 GHz and manufactured in 28nm» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


10.10":

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.

77.64%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
