Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 is a simple slate with stiff pricing

2014-06-09
the Galaxy Tab 48.0 is a simple smooth performing slate and like most Samsung tablets it's packed with software features but starting at $270 it's a bit overpriced for CNET i'm Xiomara blanco and this is the samsung galaxy tab for 8.0 I really like the tablets 8-inch size and design the textured back is comfortable and gives it some grip support but it's plastic build feels a bit cheap the capacitive buttons on the bottom bezel are easy to accidentally trigger which can be frustrating if streaming a long video but they're not as intrusive during gaming browsing or reading the right edge houses the power button volume rocker IR blaster in micro SD card slot with the microUSB port on the bottom edge and headphone jack on the top the single speaker on the back is easy to block when holding the tablet but at week and tinny audio discourages its use the Samsung Galaxy Tab four houses a quad-core processor 1 gigabyte of RAM and 16 gigabytes of internal storage with a micro SD card slot that's expandable up to 64 gigabytes it's performance is impressively smooth but not very fast large apps and games take a few seconds to launch but they run smoothly once loaded the split screen function is one of the highlights of the tab 48.0 allowing you to easily multitask with the apps available to use in the split-screen mode are limited and it's a super simple version of what you can do with the higher-end premium sleep however the tablet consistently performed smoothly while multitasking but again not the fastest both of the cameras on the tablet are unimpressive there are no manual focus options and photos are usually fuzzy at full resolution with the dull and washed out colors the 1280 by 800 pixel resolution screen is a real weak spot for the tab 4 8.0 HD video looks fine but it's far from the super HD resolutions other tablets are sporting the TouchWiz interface looks typically vibrant and colorful but the screen brightness is also on the dull side the split screen function is useful and it's slow but steady performance matched with a comfy but cheap feeling design is forgivable however at 279 it's still a little overpriced you can find a faster performing tablet with a sturdier build at a lower price point once again I'm Xia Marmont go for Sina and this has been the Samsung Galaxy Tab for 8.0
