Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 Review

This is a Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 - the smallest and the cheapest model from the latest Samsung's Tab 4 series. Beside this, there're also Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 and Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 here too. Like its bigger brothers, the Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 is pretty decent device with a cool and fresh design and mid range performances. If you have an eye on this new tablet trio, you should know that basically there are no differences in the way they work. Instead of speed differences, the Tab 4 tablets are unequal only by the screen sizes. This one is the most pocket friendly and the cheapest. In the term of price-quality ratio, the 7-inch tablet is perhaps the best of these three. So, let see what Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 has to offer.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 Design

The tablet is identical to 8 and 10.1-inch brothers. It's made of plastic and cover by faux leather back, which gives more premium feel and recognizable visual effect. This little fellow gives a nice feel of a touch. The plastic shell is not even close to feel cheaply.

The small screen size gives a compact look and chance to place this tablet to any pocket and bag. Also, with a weight scale at just 276g, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 is easy like a feather. In order to conclude this part, I'll use only three words: fancy, easy and suitable.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 Screen

No changes here. The tablet has 7-inch 1200x800 pixels display, with poor 216ppi. So, instead of lighting quality of screen, Samsung decided to stick to this resolution on all three tablets. That's why you get a visible pixels, no matter you don't want to see them. The main issue is when you try to read small font. Except that, the screen is very decent. It produce vivid and nice to see colors, with a large viewing angles. The brightness is also very good, so you don't have to concentrate yourself in order to read something on it when it's exposed to the sunlight.

The quad-core 1.2GHZ processor is paired with 1.5GB of RAM. This combination is capable of handling any most used app. The hiccups are not so often. The working delays are present when you invite some more demanding apps and games into the play.

The Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 isn't true camera tablet. It has fixed focus 3MP camera, which makes pretty basic photos. If you have luck to catch some good sunlight, you might be able to shoot some more detailed photos, but that’s all.

The battery is a completely opposite thing from camera. With 4,000mAh the Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 can live for a day or two of heavy use. If you don't insist of playing games and surfing internet, the battery life is very long and it takes for 3 or 4 days on a single charge.
