Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 SM-T530NZWAXAR Review

Samsung's Galaxy Tab series offers core tablet functionality at a fraction of the price of higher-end devices. The fourth generation mid-range mobile brings with it a fresh new look, hardware upgrades, updated software and a custom version of Android's KitKat operating system.

Highly portable compact design
Samsung departed from last year's look and opted for a more angular and tapered style for their fourth generation tablet. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 SM-T530NZWAXAR features rounded corners and a flatter edge for the top and bottom bezels instead of the sloped style of the Galaxy Tab 3. The shell is constructed of a light-weight polycarbonate with dimensions that are similar to last year's tablet. The Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 SM-T530NZWAXAR has a thin metallic trim that wraps around its edges, and a textured faux-leather material on the rear that provides a more comfortable gripping surface.

Colorful high-definition display
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 SM-T530NZWAXAR features a 10-inch display panel with a moderate 1280x800 HD resolution and a pixel density of 149 pixels-per-inch. While not as high-resolution as Samsung's higher-end Galaxy Tab Pro models, the Galaxy Tab 4 display still manages to provide a nice viewing experience with vibrant colors, rich graphics, and wide viewing angles.

Quad-core processing power
Samsung has improved the hardware on the Galaxy Tab 4, including a more powerful quad-core processor upgraded from the previous generation's dual-core chip. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 SM-T530NZWAXAR features a faster quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz. System memory has also been upgraded, from the Galaxy Tab 3's single gigabyte of RAM, to 1.5 GB on the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 SM-T530NZWAXAR. The new hardware improvements result in a considerable boost to overall system performance.
