This Tab is built with a 10.1-inch screen, offering a 1280 x 800 resolution that supports many viewing angles. While more sophisticated displays exist in the marketplace, the Tab 4’s display is more than enough to stream your favorite television shows and movies. It’s portability is empathized by its lithe dimensions and weight — 9.7 x 0.3 x 6.7 and 506 grams, respectively — so you can easily use it on the go or at home. Plus, CNET’s testing determined the battery will last up to 11 hours.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 64-bit quad-core processor fuels the device, and CNET’s reviewer noted how she experienced no lag when streaming or web surfing, though it did have trouble running certain video games.

Furthermore, additional packages can be bought to enhance aspects of the Tab 4; the Kids’ Package augments your tablet with various child-proof accessories, the Home Assistant Pack incorporates Amazon’s Alexa and the Productivity Pack endows your partner with all of the strength it needs to fervently aid you in your work. The latter notably comes with a Bluetooth keyboard, which also functions as a protective sleeve and a stand.
