The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 is a bestselling 2014 7-inch tablet that received positive reviews for a solid, sturdy and lightweight design, a sharp display, long battery life and the latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat operating system. Despite its quad-core processor, it slows down and can jitter when there are many apps running in the background and the camera quality is average which helps to keep the cost low. Overall the Tab 4 is a welcome addition to the Galaxy family and users who like Samsung’s signature design and UI won’t be disappointed with what it has to offer.
