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.
The location of rather large stereo speakers on the left and right sides is also praiseworthy, as users won’t inadvertently cover them with their hands, and the tablet’s appearance does not suffer. At the same time, the speakers provide quite a good sound for a mid-range tablet.
The fact that this is not the most up-to-date chipset is evident only upon starting certain tasks — some games take longer to load, heavier web sites take a second longer to render, for example. These are not serious problems, but users should be cautious about their apps, especially if a number of them perform functions in the background, as there is not a lot of capacity for a heavy processor load.
It is possible to set up widgets on the homescreen, including widgets for weather forecasts, time, or Google searching, as well as icons for individual applications. Remaining homescreens can be personalized the same way, which is common for tablets with standard version of Google’s operating system.
This goes for the front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera as well, and it’s obvious that Samsung included both cameras only because they are something that people have come to expect on tablets.
Although it has a low display resolution and barely acceptable cameras, this tablet will provide a pleasant and reliable experience in everyday usage for less-demanding users. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 is a solid choice for general family usage, internet browsing, watching a few movies, and replying to emails.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1
Overview
QUICK TAKE
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 is a solid choice for general family usage, internet browsing, watching a few movies, and replying to emails.
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.
Build and Design
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.
Display
One thing on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1’s spec sheet that’s out of line with the times is the 10.1-inch display resolution: 1280 x 800 pixels, resulting in a humble pixel density of 149 ppi. In practice, this low resolution is obvious, as it’s possible to identify individual pixels on the screen at a glance, even from arm’s length. This compromises imaging sharpness, and certain slimmer fonts and sloped line animation looks spikey, while tone transitions within the same color on certain objects (especially if they are small, like app icons) appear pixelated.
Poor imaging is the only serious objection here. Color imaging is natural and precise, and the colors are just as vivid and bright as can be expected from a mid-range tablet. The same goes for the contrast; although this display does not offer the purest whites and darkest blacks, its range is wide enough that it does not amount to an actual shortcoming for the user during everyday use. Contrast sustainability is the display’s most positive attribute, and the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1’s viewing angle is quite large. It’s also not necessary to manually crank up screen brightness when hit with glare from the sun.
Buttons and Ports
A Samsung logo rests on the front of the tablet, above the display, along with the 1.3-megapixel camera, while the Power button is situated below the screen. This also doubles as the “home” key. There are also “back” and “task” capacitive keys below the display. While this is an nontypical arrangement for Android devices (Google prefers that all control keys be on-screen as part of the user interface) Samsung deserves praise for this design. The buttons on the display border make this otherwise empty area useful, they can easily be reached, and do not waste valuable screen space.
The location of rather large stereo speakers on the left and right sides is also praiseworthy, as users won’t inadvertently cover them with their hands, and the tablet’s appearance does not suffer. At the same time, the speakers provide quite a good sound for a mid-range tablet.
The left side of the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 also includes the audio jack, while the right side only includes the aforementioned speaker.
The tablet’s bottom edge has a microUSB port and a microphone, while the upper one includes the additional power key, the volume rocker, and a microSD card slot. The LTE tablet version also has a microSIM card slot on the upper edge. The back of this tablet only includes the 3-megapixel camera.

We’re just getting started. The Samsung Exynos 1.2 GHz quad-core processor based on Cortex A9 architecture is the optimal choice for a tablet like this. It offers a performance suitable for everyday use, at least for the sort of tasks intended for a mid-tier tablet; functions like browsing web sites, watching videos, or playing games.
The fact that this is not the most up-to-date chipset is evident only upon starting certain tasks — some games take longer to load, heavier web sites take a second longer to render, for example. These are not serious problems, but users should be cautious about their apps, especially if a number of them perform functions in the background, as there is not a lot of capacity for a heavy processor load.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 scored 8743 on Quadrant benchmark, further confirming that this is a mid-range tablet. For comparison, the high-end Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 scored about 17,000 on this same test, while last year’s Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 got a 5,800.
The Android 4.2.2 (the latest version of Google’s mobile OS), was well as a low display resolution, help reduce demand on the processor.
Software
Those who aren’t fans of Samsung’s TouchWiz IU will be glad to hear that it has never been less intrusive, nor has it offered fewer modifications compared to the classic Android OS interface. While Samsung flagship tablets like the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 introduced entirely different concepts for the homescreen, the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 offers the kind of experience similar to other Android tablets.
It is possible to set up widgets on the homescreen, including widgets for weather forecasts, time, or Google searching, as well as icons for individual applications. Remaining homescreens can be personalized the same way, which is common for tablets with standard version of Google’s operating system.
The apps drawer is accessed via a special icon located along the lower right edge of the screen, while it is possible to access many settings more quickly through the notifications panel.
Camera
Photographs taken with the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1’s rear-facing 3-megapixel camera turn out well only under decent lighting conditions, and a lot of noise is evident on images taken inside – even if it’s daytime. These images are also grainy and lack details. Imaging exposure is good, but the same cannot be said for color imaging, which is not realistic, and the colors incline to colder tones.
This goes for the front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera as well, and it’s obvious that Samsung included both cameras only because they are something that people have come to expect on tablets.
Battery
The Galaxy Tab 4 10.1’s 6800 mAh battery offers plenty of time to enjoy the tablet, without the need to recharge it very often. This is a 10 to 12 hour battery, which is quite good.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 offers acceptable performance and long battery life, but its relatively low price for a full-size tablet is its biggest advantage. This 10.1-inch model is intended for those who want the biggest possible display but don’t want to pay for a high-end product.
Although it has a low display resolution and barely acceptable cameras, this tablet will provide a pleasant and reliable experience in everyday usage for less-demanding users. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 is a solid choice for general family usage, internet browsing, watching a few movies, and replying to emails.
