*Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 Review*

I just got one of these the other day for $100. I figured it was time to upgrade from my Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 which is also running on 4.4.2 KitKat custom ROM. The Galaxy Tab 3 runs much more smoothly with the custom ROM and being rooted but I needed more storage space and RAM.

My favorite back material Samsung had was the Epic 4g Touch. Still plastic, but really durable and it had a great texture to it.

The screen mirroring feature works well with the Xbox one and the 360, music, photos, videos...

[VinceMiniscalco]

The performance difference could come down to possibly lower grade RAM, the 7 could have been hot resulting in GPU throttling, pretty sure with a look at what the tab is doing through ADB could/should diagnose the issue.

Music at the beginning?

Can you suggest any other 8.0 inch tablet other than this ? Should be within the same price range. Thanks..

What chipset it is using?CPU Architecture?

[Wompratz]

The 8.0 performs better because it uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 versus the lower specced Marvell PXA1088 found in the 7.0 model.  For $50 more, the 8.0 is a beast in comparison and well worth the extra money.

The 8" Tab 4 has an Adreno 305 GPU while the 7" Tab 4 has a different GPU of less performance that is why some graphics processing is choppier on the 7" vs the 8"

will you please review the LG Viper «Android 4.0» from Sprint? you do really great reviews and I want to know more about my phone.

I know it's not a Pro series but can you use the S-Pen from a Note 3 on it?

[stealthflythecoop]

how many movies can you watch before you need to charge it?

[skyMcWeeds]

Not really worth it when the Nexus 7 series performs better despite not having expandable storage.

[rodolfoarias]

Question.. has anyone been able to replicate the display to a HDTV? I tried two different MHL to HDMI cables (Samsung & Generic) and none of them worked.. any suggestion?

I bought what I thought was the 8 inch one from amazon, but it was mislabeled I actually bought the 7 inch one..I dont know if its worth going through the hassle of returning it and then the extra cost involved just to get the slightly larger screen..

[blueberryhippo]

I have a galaxy tab 4 8 inch and may I just say that this thing is pretty tough.ive dropped it on cement at least 5 times and no damage without case exempt for minor scratches.

[Ehsansoomro]

on gsm arena it says 8.0 has hdmi port.. can any 1 explain where is it

[Alex-dmnq]

Do you know where can I find cases for the tablet?

[cordeliamay]

Is it worth buying it purely for watching movies? I currently watch on my Galaxy A5 (phone), and the quality is amazing - will it be equally as good, better, or worse on the tablet? ☺ (Someone please answer 😢)
