Third-party reviews

What we like about Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8 0 1 4G (5GB + 16GB)

  • Portable and lightweight design, making it easy to hold in one hand for long periods
  • Smooth performance for everyday basic tasks like web browsing, email, and social media
  • Useful software features including Multi Window for multitasking and a dedicated Kids Mode
  • Solid battery life that can last comfortably through a full day of typical use
  • Expandable storage via a microSD card slot
  • LTE model allows for mobile data connectivity and, in some regions, cellular phone calls

What we don't like about Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8 0 1 4G (5GB + 16GB)

  • Low screen resolution (1280x800) results in visible pixelation and fuzzy text
  • Poor camera quality with both the 3MP rear and 1.3MP front cameras producing dull, grainy images
  • Plastic build quality can feel cheap compared to more premium metal or glass tablets
  • Struggles with memory-intensive tasks and graphically demanding 3D games
  • Single rear-facing speaker is often described as tinny and is easily muffled when held
  • High initial launch price was often criticized for not matching the budget-level specifications

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 4G is an 8-inch mid-range tablet featuring a 1280 x 800 WXGA TFT display and a 1.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor. This specific LTE-enabled model typically includes 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, expandable up to 64GB via microSD. It runs on Android 4.4 KitKat with Samsung's TouchWiz interface, supporting useful features like Multi Window multitasking and an IR blaster for remote control functionality. Main pros include its lightweight, portable design (320g), reliable 4450mAh battery providing up to 10 hours of use, and a dedicated number row on the keyboard. However, its primary cons are an outdated display with low pixel density (189ppi), mediocre 3.15MP rear and 1.3MP front cameras, and a single, underpowered rear-facing speaker.
