What we like about Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8 0 1 WiFi (5GB + 32GB)

  • Compact and lightweight design, comfortable for one-handed use
  • Smooth performance for basic tasks like web browsing and email
  • Multi-window feature allows for effective split-screen multitasking
  • Includes a microSD card slot for easy storage expansion
  • Solid battery life, typically lasting 9–10 hours of general use

What we don't like about Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8 0 1 WiFi (5GB + 32GB)

  • Low screen resolution (1280x800) results in pixelated text and images
  • Poor camera quality; both front and rear cameras produce grainy, dull photos
  • Single rear-facing speaker is often described as tinny and easily muffled
  • Plastic build can feel 'cheap' compared to premium or newer metal/glass models
  • Capacitive navigation buttons do not light up and are easy to trigger accidentally
  • Slow performance when running graphically intensive or 3D games

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (SM-T330) is a portable 8-inch tablet featuring a WXGA TFT display with a 1280 x 800 resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio. It is powered by a 1.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor and 1.5GB of RAM, with this specific variant offering 32GB of internal storage expandable via a microSD slot. Its primary strengths include a lightweight, slim design with a textured back for better grip, reliable dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity, and useful software features like Multi-Window multitasking and a built-in IR blaster for universal remote functionality. However, it is held back by a relatively low-resolution screen with visible pixelation, mediocre 3MP rear and 1.3MP front cameras that lack detail, and a plastic build that some users find less premium compared to higher-end models.
