Samsung’s new Galaxy Tab 4 line gets thinner and lighter across 3 sizes

By Williams Pelegrin Published April 1, 2014

Even though Samsung’s Galaxy Tab Pro and Galaxy Note Pro tablets are already available, they’re aimed at professional users. For those who don’t need such a high-end product, Samsung’s recently announced Tab 4 line is for you.

Composed of three sizes — the 7-inch Galaxy Tab 4 7.0, the 8-inch Galaxy Tab 4 8.0, and the 10-inch Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 — the Tab 4 will be powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core processor that is coupled with 1.5GB of RAM. The display, which is a 1,200 x 800 pixel LCD, will show Android 4.4 KitKat in all its glory, though Samsung’s typical TouchWiz interface is also present.

A 3-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera are on each Tab 4 model, and while you will surely be the butt of everyone’s jokes if you use that rear-facing camera, the 16GB of onboard storage means you can save a few of them. There is a MicroSD that supports up to 64GB cards if you need more space.

Each of the Tab 4 tablets will include Samsung services, which include Group Play, Samsung Link, and WatchON. If you’re interested in picking one up for yourself, each Tab 4 model will be available sometime between this month and June. While black and white were confirmed as color choices, we have no word on whether there will be more color choices added in the future or how much each model will cost.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra vs. Tab S10 Plus: Go big or even bigger?

Proportional comparison of Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra versus Galaxy Tab S10 Plus.

Samsung’s 2024 tablet lineup recently arrived with an interesting twist. While the company surprised us last year with a new 14.6-inch Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, adding a third model to the mix, this year it reduced the family back to two models by dropping the standard 11-inch Galaxy Tab. Your choice is now between the big Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and the even bigger Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra.

As usual, Samsung has made some good year-over-year improvements to both tablets under the hood, although on the outside, you’ll have a hard time telling them apart from their predecessors. However, that still leaves the more important question of which model is right for you. Is the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra worth investing in solely for its larger screen, or is it more than just a bigger version of its 12.4-inch Tab S10 Plus sibling? Let’s dig in and find out.
