New tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab 4. Samsung has made an interesting tablet: first look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4. Memory cards are used in mobile devices to increase storage space for data storage

First, let's talk a little about the situation as a whole. It's no secret that the tablet market is going through hard times. After the appearance of this very class of devices with the release of the first iPad (yes, we have to admit that it was he who defined the look of the modern tablet), the market grew rapidly, filling up with new devices, new technologies, and new players. But in 2013-2014, a peak was reached, after which a global recession began.

To date, only a few companies consistently pay attention to tablets and regularly release new items in different price segments: Apple, Huawei, Lenovo and - Samsung, the hero of today's article. The overwhelming majority of other manufacturers keep some models in their assortment and occasionally replenish the lineup in the middle and low-budget segments, but they do not seek to compete with the leaders in terms of flagships.

This is understandable: the concept of a flagship tablet is firmly associated with the iPad (recently - with the iPad Pro), the development and promotion costs of a competing model are a lot, and the market capacity itself is small. As a result, noticeable and technologically interesting novelties are rarely released. And all of them will inevitably be compared with the devices of the "apple" company. But it is possible that this comparison may not be so disadvantageous for them! Let's take a look at the specs of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 has a smaller battery, but the rest of the specs look better overall. So, the screen resolution and, as a consequence, the density of points at Samsung is slightly higher. The camera resolution is also slightly higher. The flash memory capacity of the novelty is limited to 64 GB, but there is support for microSD up to 400 GB ... However, we have repeatedly made sure that you cannot judge by characteristics alone, so let's move on to testing.

Packaging and equipment

Since we had a pre-sale sample for testing, we cannot evaluate its packaging, and the complete set is only partially available to us. For example, a 5V 2A charger (9V in fast charging mode), a USB-C cable, an electronic pen and a key to eject the card tray were attached to the sample.

Design

The exterior of the model is inspired by flagship smartphones rather than tablets. At least it has a glass back (whereas all iPads still have an aluminum case) and a minimal bezel around the screen.

It is significant that the width of the bezel on all four sides of the screen is almost the same, while the iPad Pro has a much wider bezel on the short sides than on the long ones. Of course, this was achieved by eliminating the physical Home button. There is no fingerprint scanner here either (protection is implemented through face and iris recognition - we will talk about this in more detail in a separate section).

Another feature of the device is the minimum thickness. Although the tablet is 1mm thicker than the iPad Pro 10.5, it doesn't feel like it. It seems that the device is really very thin, elegant, and there is no desire for it to be even thinner.

The rounded edges are made of metal (except for four subtle plastic notches). Both connectors - USB-C and 3.5-mm minijack - are located on the bottom edge, if you hold the tablet, according to the inscriptions, vertically, in a "portrait" orientation.

On the top and right edges, you can see holes for built-in microphones. In addition, on the right side there is a power button and a volume rocker (both of them are made of metal), as well as a slot for Micro-SIM and microSD cards.

The left side is entirely reserved for connecting the keyboard: it has a four-pin connector in the center, as well as two holes needed to fix the keyboard.

One of the most important design elements is the built-in AKG speakers, the grilles of which we see in four places: on the short edges at the top and bottom. Thus, like the iPad Pro, the novelty provides uniform stereo sound. Moreover, in terms of quality, it is very good for this form factor - especially at midrange. However, the iPad Pro has more bass sound, while the Galaxy Tab S4 has a "flat" bass.

This is noticeable on music tracks with deep bass (we used Take It There by Massive Attack) and will probably also be felt in action movie scenes (explosions, collapsing buildings, etc.). But for background listening to music, watching YouTube videos, and similar applications, the sound is excellent.

In general, the design is worth appreciating: the tablet is beautiful, compact, made of noble materials, with decent stereo sound and a successful implementation of a slot for Micro-SIM and microSD.

Screen

The tablet's screen resolution is 2560 × 1600, which gives a dot density of 288 ppi and slightly exceeds the corresponding figure for the iPad Pro 10.5 ″. At the same time, it will be useful to recall that the aspect ratio of the iPad Pro is 4: 3, while the Samsung has 16:10. The former is more convenient for reading books, the latter for watching movies.

A detailed examination using measuring devices was carried out by the editor of the "Monitors" and "Projectors and TV" sections Alexey Kudryavtsev... Here is his expert opinion on the screen of the test sample.

The front surface of the screen is made in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface, resistant to scratches. Judging by the reflection of objects, the anti-glare properties of the screen are worse than that of the Google Nexus 7 (2013) (hereinafter simply Nexus 7). For clarity, here is a photo in which a white surface is reflected in the turned off screens (on the left - Nexus 7, on the right - Samsung Galaxy Tab S4, then they can be distinguished by their size):

The screen of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 is noticeably lighter (brightness in the photos is 144 versus 117 for the Nexus 7) and has a pronounced blue-green tint. There is no doubling of reflected objects in the screen of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4, which indicates that there is no air gap between the layers of the screen. Due to the smaller number of boundaries (such as glass / air) with very different refractive indices, screens without an air gap look better in conditions of intense ambient light, but their repair in case of cracked outer glass is much more expensive, since the entire screen has to be changed. The outer surface of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 screen has a special oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating (effective, better than that of the Nexus 7), so fingerprints are removed much more easily and appear at a slower rate than in the case of regular glass.

When the white field was displayed in full screen and with manual brightness control, its maximum value was 290 cd / m². It is necessary to take into account the fact that in this case the smaller the white area on the screen, the lighter it is, that is, the actual maximum brightness of the white areas will almost always be higher than the specified value. In addition, in automatic mode, the screen brightness is significantly higher in bright light. As a result, readability in the daytime in the sun should be at a good level. The minimum screen brightness value is 1.6 cd / m², that is, the reduced brightness level allows you to use the device without any problems even in complete darkness. Automatic brightness control works according to the light sensor (it is located to the left of the front camera lens). The operation of this function depends on the position of the brightness adjustment slider, with which the user can try to set the desired brightness level in the current conditions. If you leave everything at the default, then in complete darkness, the auto-brightness function reduces the brightness to 8 cd / m2 (dark), in an office lit with artificial light (about 550 lx) it sets to 130 cd / m2 (normal), in a very bright environment (corresponds to outdoor lighting on a clear day, but without direct sunlight - 20,000 lux or slightly more) increases to 470 cd / m². The result did not quite suit us, so in complete darkness we slightly increased the brightness, resulting in the following values \u200b\u200bfor the three conditions indicated above: 13, 140, 470 cd / m² (an ideal combination). It turns out that the automatic brightness control function works adequately and allows the user to customize his work for individual requirements. At any brightness level, there is significant modulation at 240 Hz. The figure below shows the dependence of brightness (vertical axis) on time (horizontal axis) for several values \u200b\u200bof brightness adjustment:

It can be seen that at the maximum brightness and close to it, the modulation amplitude is not very large, as a result, there is no visible flicker. However, when the brightness decreases, modulation appears with a large relative amplitude, its presence can already be seen in the test for the presence of a stroboscopic effect or simply with rapid eye movement. Depending on individual sensitivity, such flickering can cause increased fatigue.

This screen uses a Super AMOLED matrix - an active matrix on organic light-emitting diodes. A full color image is created with equal numbers of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) subpixels. This is confirmed by a fragment of a micrograph:

For comparison, you can see the gallery of photomicrographs of screens used in mobile technology.

An equal number of subpixels eliminates the artifacts typical of PenTile RGBG matrices with a halved number of blue and red subpixels.

The screen has excellent viewing angles. True, when deviated even at small angles, the white color acquires a light blue-green tint, but the black color remains simply black at any angle. It is so black that the contrast setting is not applicable in this case. For comparison, here are the photos on which the screens of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 (profile Main) and the second comparison participant displayed the same images, while the brightness of the screens was initially set to about 200 cd / m2, and the color balance on the camera was forcibly switched to 6500 K.

White box:

Note the good uniformity of brightness and color tone of the white field.

And the test picture (profile Main):

The color rendition is good, the colors are moderately saturated, the color balance of the screens is slightly different. Recall that photography can not serve as a reliable source of information about the quality of color and is provided only for a conditional visual illustration. In particular, the pronounced reddish tint of white and gray fields, present in the photographs of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 screen, is visually absent when viewed from a perpendicular view, which is confirmed by hardware tests using a spectrophotometer. The reason is that the spectral sensitivity of the camera sensor does not exactly match this characteristic of human vision.

The photo above was taken after selecting a profile Main in the screen settings, there are four of them:

Profile Adaptive display differs in some kind of automatic adjustment of the color rendition to the type of displayed image and the surrounding conditions:

The saturation is greatly increased, it looks terrible. What happens when you select the two remaining profiles is shown below.

AMOLED movie

Saturation is slightly less.

AMOLED Photo

The red saturation is slightly lower than in the case AMOLED movie.

Now at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen (profile Main).

White box:

The brightness at an angle on both screens has noticeably decreased (to avoid strong darkening, the shutter speed is increased compared to previous photos), but in the case of Samsung, the drop in brightness is much less pronounced. As a result, with formally the same brightness, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 screen visually looks much brighter (in comparison with LCD screens), since you often have to look at the screen of a mobile device at least from a slight angle.

And the test picture:

It can be seen that the colors have not changed much on both screens and the brightness at the Samsung angle is noticeably higher. The switching of the state of the matrix elements is performed almost instantly, but at the turn-on front there may be a step approximately 17 ms wide (which corresponds to a screen refresh rate of 60 Hz). For example, this is how the dependence of brightness on time looks like when switching from black to white and back:

In some conditions, the presence of such a step can lead to plumes trailing behind moving objects. However, dynamic scenes in films on OLED screens are distinguished by high definition and even some "jerky" movements. The graph above shows how, after a few tens of milliseconds, the brightness begins to decrease when white is displayed in full screen.

The gamma curve plotted at 32 points with equal intervals by the numerical value of the shade of gray showed that there is a slight blockage in the shadows (the shades up to the 8th inclusive do not differ in brightness from black), but all gradations are displayed in the highlights. The exponent of the approximating power function is 2.07, which is less than the standard value of 2.2, while the real gamma curve slightly deviates from the power dependence:

Recall that in the case of OLED screens, the brightness of image fragments dynamically changes in accordance with the nature of the displayed image - it decreases for generally light images. As a result, the obtained dependence of brightness on the hue (gamma curve), most likely, does not correspond a little to the gamma curve of a static image, since the measurements were carried out with sequential output of shades of gray on almost the entire screen.

Color gamut in case of profile Adaptive display very wide - in green it is wider than DCI-P3:

In profile AMOLED movie the coverage is a little narrower, it is close to DCI-P3:

When choosing a profile AMOLED Photo the coverage is compressed to the boundaries of Adobe RGB:

When choosing a profile Main coverage is compressed to sRGB borders:

Without correction, the spectra of the components are very well separated:

In case of a profile Main with maximum correction, the color components are already noticeably mixed with each other:

Note that on screens with a wide gamut (without appropriate correction), the colors of ordinary images optimized for sRGB devices appear unnaturally saturated. Hence the recommendation: in most cases, watching movies, photos and everything natural is better when choosing a profile Main, and only if the photo was taken on the Adobe RGB setting, it makes sense to switch the profile to AMOLED Photo... Similarly, the profile AMOLED movie Suitable for watching video footage with DCI-P3 digital cinematography coverage.

Grayscale balance acceptable in profile case Adaptive display and good in profile Main... The color temperature is close to 6500 K, while this parameter does not change very much in a significant part of the gray scale, which improves the visual perception of color balance. The deviation from the blackbody spectrum (ΔE) remains below 10 units for most of the gray scale, which is considered a good indicator for a consumer device:

(In most cases, the darkest areas of the gray scale can be ignored, since the color balance there is not very important, and the error in measuring color characteristics at low brightness is large.)

For some reason, only when choosing a profile Adaptive display it becomes possible to adjust the color balance using the color temperature slider and three adjustments to the intensity of the primary colors, but due to the too wide color gamut, it makes no sense to correct the balance in this profile. There is a fashionable function now Blue light filter, for which in the settings even a whiter or less correct description is given (in the menu of the level above, there is nonsense about "reducing eye tension", but oh well):

Why such a correction can be useful is described in the article about iPad Pro 9.7. In any case, when having fun with a tablet or smartphone at night looking, it is better to lower the screen brightness to a minimum, but still comfortable level, and only then, to calm your own paranoia, turn the screen yellow with this setting.

Let's summarize. The screen has a high maximum brightness and has good anti-reflective properties, so the device can be used outdoors without any problems, even on a sunny summer day. In complete darkness, the brightness can be lowered to a comfortable value. It is permissible to use the mode with automatic brightness adjustment, which works adequately. The advantages of the screen include an effective oleophobic coating, as well as a color gamut close to sRGB (when choosing the right profile) and a good color balance. At the same time, let's recall the general advantages of OLED screens: true black color (if nothing is reflected in the screen), noticeably less than that of an LCD, the drop in image brightness when viewed from an angle. The disadvantages include modulation of screen brightness. Users who are particularly sensitive to flicker may experience fatigue as a result. However, the overall screen quality is very high.

Performance

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 (MSM 8998) SoC, built on a 10nm process technology. It includes 4 CPU cores @ 2.35 GHz and 4 CPU cores @ 1.9 GHz. Adreno 540 is used as a GPU. The new tablet has 4 GB of RAM, like the main competitor.

So how does the performance differ from the iPad Pro 10.5 ″?

Let's start with browser tests: SunSpider 1.0, Octane Benchmark, Kraken Benchmark and. Samsung used the Chrome browser, Apple used Safari.

The results for the new product are disappointing: in browser tests, the iPad Pro 10.5 confidently leads. However, this may be due to the browser itself. At least Android devices often outperform Apple devices in browser tests. But - the fact remains.

Now let's see how the iPad Pro performs in Geekbench - a multi-platform benchmark that measures the performance of CPU and RAM, and from the fourth version, which we used for testing, also the computing capabilities of the GPU (if you want to mine bitcoins on the iPad, you should be interested in this particular item :)). Plus, we haven't forgotten about the comprehensive AnTuTu Benchmark.

And here the Samsung tablet, again, could not oppose anything to the iPad Pro 10.5. Alas, we have to admit that the processor performance of the Galaxy Tab S4 falls short of its competitor.

The last group of benchmarks is dedicated to GPU performance testing. We used 3DMark, GFXBench Metal 3.1.5 and Basemark Metal.

Let's start with GFXBench. Recall that Offscreen tests are displaying a picture in 1080p regardless of the actual screen resolution. And tests without Offscreen - this is the output of the picture exactly in the resolution that corresponds to the screen resolution of the device. That is, the Offscreen tests are indicative from the point of view of the abstract performance of the SoC, and real tests - from the point of view of the comfort of the game on a specific device.

	Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 (Qualcomm Snapdragon 835)	Apple iPad Pro 10.5 ″ (Apple A10X Fusion)
GFXBenchmark Manhattan 3.1 (Onscreen)	20 fps	41 fps
GFXBenchmark Manhattan 3.1 (1080p Offscreen)	37 fps	62 fps
GFXBenchmark Manhattan (Onscreen)	33 fps	56 fps
GFXBenchmark Manhattan (1080p Offscreen)	55 fps	90 fps
GFXBenchmark T-Rex (Onscreen)	60 fps	60 fps
GFXBenchmark T-Rex (1080p Offscreen)	105 fps	199 fps

Except for the only subtest (T-Rex Onscreen), which is too easy for both models, the difference between the new product and the iPad Pro 10.5 is obvious.

And one more confirmation of the above. Only in Sling Shot Extreme the novelty got close to the iPad Pro, but in Ice Storm Unlimited the gap is still too significant.

Well, we have to admit that the performance of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 is still inferior to the iPad Pro 10.5 ″. However, let's think about what this means in practice. Since even though the Galaxy Tab S4 lags behind, it still performs very well, it will run all current Android games without any problems (as well as iOS games on the iPad Pro). And, of course, in normal use you will not feel any discomfort either. So the less powerful stuffing in this case can be considered a theoretical drawback rather than a practical one.

Play video and connect to an external display

Testing performed Alexey Kudryavtsev.

This unit supports DisplayPort Alt Mode for USB Type-C - output image and sound to an external device when connected to the USB port. We tested this mode in conjunction with an adapter equipped with a USB Type-C loop-through with USB Power Delivery support, HDMI output, a card reader for SD and microSD cards, and two USB 3.0 ports. Video output is 1080p @ 60Hz frame rate.

An alternate desktop is displayed on the monitor screen, and the tablet screen can be used as a co-ordinate touchpad or work as usual.

The control panel at the bottom of the screen disappears when displaying an image in full screen (for example, when playing a video). The monitor is output at a true resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and point to point. Note that simultaneously with the output of image and sound, you can connect a mouse and a keyboard to a smartphone via USB or Bluetooth, turning it into a basis for a workplace. In addition, connected USB sticks and memory cards are read.

In desktop mode, you can open several windows at the same time, placing them on the desktop in the same way as in Windows and macOS, use the right mouse button, etc. In general, the tablet really turns into a kind of system unit. We will tell you more about this, as well as about the accessories that can be bought for using the tablet in desktop mode, in a separate article.

To test the output of video files to an external screen (only 1080p files) and to the screen of the device itself, we used a set of test files with an arrow and a rectangle moving one division per frame (see "Methodology for testing video playback and display devices. Version 1 (for mobile devices) "). Screenshots with a shutter speed of 1 s helped to determine the nature of the frame output of video files with different parameters: the resolution varied (1280 by 720 (720p), 1920 by 1080 (1080p) and 3840 by 2160 (4K) pixels) and the frame rate (24, 25, 30, 50 and 60 fps). In our tests, we used the MX Player video player in the "Hardware" mode. The test results are summarized in the table:

File	Uniformity	Skips
Output to monitor
1080 / 60p	fine	no
1080 / 50p	fine	no
1080 / 30p	well	no
1080 / 25p	fine	no
1080 / 24p	well	no
Tablet display
4K / 60p (H.265)	fine	no
4K / 50p (H.265)	not reproduced
4K / 30p (H.265)	fine	no
4K / 25p (H.265)	well	no
4K / 24p (H.265)	well	no
4K / 30p	fine	no
4K / 25p	well	no
4K / 24p	fine	no
1080 / 60p	fine	no
1080 / 50p	well	no
1080 / 30p	fine	no
1080 / 25p	fine	no
1080 / 24p	fine	no
720 / 60p	fine	no
Red marks indicate possible problems with the playback of the respective files. According to the criterion for outputting frames, the quality of video files playback on the screen of the device itself is good, since frames (or groups of frames) can be output with more or less uniform intervals of intervals and without frame drops. When playing video files with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 (1080p) in the case of landscape orientation on the tablet screen, the image of the video file itself is displayed inscribed in width. The clarity of the picture is high, but not perfect, since there is no escape from interpolation to the screen resolution. However, for the sake of experiment, you can switch to one-to-one pixel mode, there will be no interpolation. The brightness range displayed on the screen corresponds to the standard range of 16-235: in the shadows of about six shades it merges with black, but in the highlights all gradations are displayed. Note that this tablet has support for hardware decoding of H.265 files with a color depth of 10 bits per color, while outputting to the screen is carried out with fewer visible gradients than in the case of an 8-bit file. Autonomous work and heating We conducted detailed battery life tests on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 at a fixed screen brightness of 100 cd / m². Judging by them, the tablet demonstrates good results in those modes that do not overload the SoC and do not emphasize the white image. It can be seen that in the mode of playing videos from YouTube, the novelty even slightly bypassed the iPad Pro. And in the other two modes, on the contrary, she lost. We tend to attribute this, firstly, to the features of an insufficiently economical SoC, and secondly, to the fact that AMOLED screens drain the battery much faster when displaying a white image on them (and in reading mode we use a white theme). So if you want to read longer without recharging, use a black background. But in general, we repeat, the results are not bad. We should also mention the possibility of fast charging when using the included charger. With regard to heating, the below is a thermal image back surface obtained after 10 minutes of battery test in the GFXBenchmark program: The heating is highly localized above the center and close to the right edge, which apparently corresponds to the location of the SoC chip. According to the heat chamber, the maximum heating was 41 degrees (at an ambient temperature of 24 degrees), this is the average result in this test for modern mobile devices. Safety As noted, the tablet does not have a fingerprint scanner. Instead, it uses a combined iris and face scanner. Sounds very cool; in practice - there are some complaints about implementation. Registering a user in this system is very easy and simple. And it seems that the system is really reliable and convenient: you can use this protection in conjunction with a pin code, password or graphic code. The whole problem is that in order to recognize the owner, he needs to look at the red light that comes on when trying to unlock. It is not easy to get used to such a seemingly elementary action. If on iPad Pro you simply pressed the round Home button and the built-in fingerprint scanner instantly recognized you, then in Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 you first need to press the side Home button, then look at the illuminated light (whereas we usually look approximately at the center of the screen), and only after that you can start working if recognition is successful. And this does not always happen. At least during the days that we used the tablet intensively, it never learned to confidently recognize us. If you hold it strictly in front of your face, and hair does not fall on the face, then recognition is successful. But in normal use, we don't hold the tablet this way and don't look at the camera. In general, this is the case when a spectacular technological idea has not received an intuitively convenient implementation. Work in LTE networks The tablet is equipped with an LTE module (modification SM-T835), and among the applications there is a "Phone". Therefore, you can use the tablet not only for surfing the Internet, but also for voice communication via GSM networks (this may be relevant when using a headset or speakerphone). As for the Internet connection via cellular networks, an interesting detail should be noted here: when tested in the Speedtest application, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 in most cases demonstrates a higher speed than the iPad Pro with the same SIM card, in the same place and in the same application (only, of course, in the iOS version). We tested this in two districts of Moscow, using a Beeline SIM card and, if possible, excluding any factors that could hypothetically influence the result. So you have to take it for granted. On the other hand, even with repeated launches at intervals of several minutes, the result for the same device could differ significantly, so a certain amount of randomness is still present here. Camera The tablet is equipped with two cameras: a front one with a resolution of 8 megapixels, and a rear one that supports 13 megapixel photography and 4K 30 fps video recording. At first glance, compared to top-end smartphones, these numbers are not very impressive, but, on the other hand, these are quite normal characteristics for flagship tablets, and is a much more advanced camera needed in devices of this form factor? Pictures and videos taken with the rear camera of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4, rated Anton Soloviev. A camera is quite suitable for shooting everyday scenes, but everyone is interested in the question: is it better than a camera? Since we did not conduct a laboratory comparison, we will be guided by field pictures. Digging through the archives, we recall that the iPad camera makes a lot of noise in the slightest lack of lighting, and this is perhaps its only noticeable drawback (although it is still not clear why a tablet of this format needs a camera at all, except for capturing text). The Samsung Galaxy Tab S4's camera does not lag behind: if you look closely at the shadows, you can easily see the noises, more or less retouched. The camera has no other flaws, like obvious sharping. Small areas of out-of-focus can be found around the edges, but these are irregular. The rest of the camera is quite good for various scenarios. Answering the question formulated above, we can say: "no, not better, but not worse." The camera can shoot video in 4K, and, despite only 30 frames per second, it does it well. conclusions Samsung has a great tablet and powerful competitor to the iPad Pro 10.5 ″. The novelty has a good SuperAMOLED display, excellent design, the latest version of Android, good cameras and performance (although, according to the last parameter, the Galaxy Tab S4 is still significantly inferior to the "apple" device). Of the advantages over the iPad Pro, it is worth noting the presence of a desktop mode when connected to a monitor. What about the price? Let's figure it out. At first glance, Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 is more expensive than iPad Pro 10.5 ″: its official price in Russia is 53 thousand rubles, while an Apple tablet can be bought for 47 thousand. But here it is important to consider three nuances. Firstly, the iPad Pro 10.5 ″ with the above price does not have an LTE module, whereas the Samsung tablet does. If we take an iPad Pro 10.5 ″ with an LTE module, then its cost is 57 thousand rubles (with the same amount of flash memory - 64 GB). Secondly, a pen is included with the Galaxy Tab S4, and you have to purchase it separately from Apple - for a considerable 7 thousand. In addition, if you pre-order a Samsung tablet, you will also receive a keyboard cover for free (from Apple, again, you will have to pay 11,500 for it). And thirdly, 64 GB of memory may not be enough for many users. But the iPad Pro 10.5 ″ does not have support for memory cards, so you have to take this into account when buying and take, for example, not the 64-gigabyte, but the 256-gigabyte version. And this is already significantly more expensive than buying a 64 GB microSD card for the 64 GB version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4. Total: now, until the prices for the version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 without the LTE module (SM-T830) have been announced, the minimum price for the iPad Pro 10.5 ″ is indeed lower than for the Galaxy Tab S4, and significantly. But the full potential of the device is revealed in more advanced modifications, and here the new Samsung is a much more economical solution. However, it is no secret that the choice between Apple and Samsung for the majority of users is not in the plane of logical arguments and comparisons, but exclusively in the plane of subjective “religious” preferences, formed over the years and composed of many components. Someone love iOS, someone - Android, someone - SuperAMOLED, someone - IPS, and so on. So let's not stir up holivar and insist on something. And we just state that Samsung's tablet turned out to be interesting, decent (though not without flaws) and truly competitive. For its beautiful appearance, high-quality stereo speakers and a minimal bezel around the screen, we give the tablet our Original Design award. And for the presence of a pen in the kit and the possibility of getting a keyboard cover free of charge upon pre-order - Excellent Package.

Shortly before the announcement of the long-awaited Galaxy Note 9 smartphone, Samsung introduced another tablet. The Galaxy Tab S4 began selling on August 10. This device also comes with an S Pen. We can say that this is the best Android tablet this year. It replaces last year.

Instead of a 4: 3 aspect ratio, it shifts to a wider 16:10. The bezels around the screen are thin, the Home button is now absent, but there are four speakers with AKG support. Used last year's Snapdragon 835 processor. Is such a device worth the asking price of RUB 53,000? Let's find out.

Design

As already mentioned, the tablet received a wider screen. Now it has become longer, but due to this it looks more compact. The back surface is glass, the frame is made of aluminum. This makes the device feel like the premium smartphones of our day. Of course, the tablet weighs a lot more, 483 g.

The glass back is partly to blame for this weight. This tablet won't be easy to carry around without a case. When it heats up, it starts to burn your hands quite noticeably. In addition, if you hold the device incorrectly, you may accidentally touch the icons and switches near the edges of the screen.

The rest of the tablet feels like a solid device. The power and volume buttons are firm and crisp when pressed. The internal vibration engine provides a distinct tactile response when pressing the navigation buttons. This can be turned off in the settings if this interaction is not to your liking. There is a small camera protrusion on the back of the case.

Screen

Unsurprisingly, it uses Samsung's 10.5-inch Super AMOLED panel. Samsung has been known for the quality of its OLED panels for many years, which is why even budget mobile devices are installing them, not to mention being so expensive.

The pixel density is 288 ppi, which makes individual pixels difficult to see. There are four different screen display modes. Choose from the most powerful AMOLED with vibrant colors or a more subdued base mode.

AMOLED screens are known for slight color distortion at an angle. On Samsung smartphones, this is difficult to notice due to the small screen size. On the tablet along the edges of the color shift is observed. Not enough to spoil the impression, but still there is distortion.

Processor and memory

As usual, Samsung's new tablet is powered by last year's mobile processor. In this case, it's the Snapdragon 835. Enthusiasts are usually not too happy with this offer, but the Snapdragon 835 is far from obsolete. There will be no problems with the speed of work.

Even heavy games like Rules of Survival run fast and smoothly, just like on modern smartphones. There are no problems in office applications either. Even with multitasking work, the tablet has no difficulty.

4GB of memory is also far from the record value. Modern smartphones, even not the most expensive ones, often have 6 GB or even 8 GB. However, by modern standards, this is quite an adequate volume. In terms of storage, there are 64GB and 256GB versions. In both cases, memory cards are supported.

Interface and functionality

As you might expect, the Samsung Experience bootloader is installed on top of Android 8.1. This can be good or bad depending on your preference. Here you can find useful features such as a secure folder to hide files and images behind a password or fingerprint. There is also a set of Device Maintenance with reports of safety, autonomy and tips for deleting files that take up too much space. Game Launcher tweaks hardware components, mutes notifications during gameplay, lets you record gameplay.

The Samsung Gallery app lets you view your photos and create short videos, GIF animations, and slideshows of your favorite images. The calendar displays the information you need as well as the Google calendar.

We can say that the Samsung Experience shell has matured and is well suited for work-oriented users.

As mentioned above, the Home button is missing. All navigation is carried out through a virtual panel. There are the familiar buttons for Back, Home and Recent Apps. What about biometric locking?

There is a scan of the iris of the eye, the Intelligent Scan function is also supported. It mixes eye scanning with facial recognition.

If you hold the tablet in portrait orientation, unlocking is quick and invisible. If you turn it to landscape orientation, problems can begin. In about half of the cases, the scan runs without problems. Sometimes you need to turn your head to the left and find a position so that the camera can see the eyes and face. Either way, unlocking is quick, although not as convenient as with the front fingerprint scanner.

Stylus

It's nice to see the Samsung S Pen included with the tablet. It is a pity that it cannot be fixed to the tablet in any way. If you do not have an optional accessory such as a case, you will need to be careful not to lose your stylus.

Powered by Wacom technology, the stylus is equipped with touchpad prevention and Bluetooth connectivity. This standard requires a large battery to work. However, even when it is discharged, you can write and draw. There are 4096 degrees of depression. Like on Galaxy Note smartphones, the stylus can create GIF animations, write on the off screen, and translate text from language to language. Penup application is useful for those who want to learn how to draw. There is a built-in guide for creating different images, which is updated regularly. There is also an active community of artists who share their drawings.

You can use the stylus for a variety of tasks. If you press and hold the button while sliding the stylus over the text, you can mark, copy and paste. Within apps like Samsung Calendar, you can highlight different objects. Hovering the stylus over the screen provides a pointer that allows you to interact with sites like a mouse.

Samsung DeX without docking station

Launched with the Galaxy S8, it's an interesting concept. You can take your smartphone with you and turn it into a computer. To do this, you had to carry with you not only a smartphone, but also a docking station. A monitor, mouse and keyboard would also be helpful.

Now you can do without a docking station. You need to open the notification panel and press the DeX mode switch to get the desktop. You can connect a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, or use a Samsung keyboard case, which is sold separately.

Also, nothing prevents you from connecting a monitor. In this case, the tablet is used as an auxiliary screen.

This is a good option if you are traveling without a laptop, staying at a hotel or visiting where there is a monitor and keyboard. By connecting them, you can go about your computer business.

Accessories

Samsung also sells a dedicated Book Cover Keyboard for the Galaxy Tab S4. It is a very good accessory for increasing productivity. The keyboard is connected not via Bluetooth, but through a proprietary 4-pin connector on the left half of the device.

The keys have good travel and click clearly despite being thin. As a result, typing is quite convenient. Since the keyboard is small, like the tablet itself, it will take some getting used to. Typing for a long time can get tired. Despite this, such a keyboard will help you type on the road, if necessary.

The keyboard includes a stylus holder, which makes it even more valuable. This helps reduce the chance of losing your stylus.

Another accessory is the Charging Dock Pogo, which is also sold separately. It is designed to keep the tablet in landscape orientation and recharges it via the 4-pin connector. When the tablet is installed here, it can display a slideshow of your favorite images or a certain number of photos as wallpaper.

It is unlikely that such a docking station is necessary. It should allow you to easily hold the tablet in your hand, but not just plug it in correctly. If you want to watch movies while your tablet is in landscape mode, it might come in handy.

Cameras

There is no optical image stabilization on the rear camera, so the quality can be called normal at best. Detail is good, although images can be blurry or grainy.

The color reproduction is pretty close to reality, but the dynamic range is rather poor. Even if you switch to HDR mode, which is in a separate menu and is not automatically activated, the camera still overexposes bright areas and darkens too dark. This camera can come in handy when you urgently need to shoot something and nothing else is at hand. Obviously, the tablet will not be used as the main camera, it is inconvenient and simply strange.

The front camera captures facial features quite well. It also overexposes bright areas, but does not darken dark areas as much. It is quite suitable for video calls. There is a portrait mode that attempts to blur the background behind the subject in the foreground. The separation doesn't work very well, especially if the background is complex.

Multimedia

One job, no fun, that would be too boring. The Galaxy Tab S4 isn't that boring. The 10.5-inch wide screen lets you watch interesting videos. This is also aided by four speakers for an immersive listening experience.

On the back of the case is the Tuned by AKG inscription, but the speaker quality is a bit disappointing. The sound is quite full and well separated. However, there is a lack of lower sound range, which deprives the sound of full saturation. The volume is also not happy. Dolby Atmos activation gives a slight increase in volume, which will be enough for watching video in the room.

Don't think that the sound is really bad. It is better than most other tablets. True, the main competitor in the form of the iPad Pro is still ahead. There are clearer bass, treble, cleaner mids.

The Galaxy Tab S4 is great for gaming, especially if you plug in an external controller. Stereo speakers make games more engaging, and the crisp display also allows for fun.

Autonomy

The battery capacity is 7300 mAh. This gives the Galaxy Tab S4 the ability to run for a very long time. It was tested in the office all day long. The multitasking mode of the desktop was used, articles were read, images were edited, text correspondence was carried out, and music was played. After six and a half hours, the charge level dropped to less than 10%.

This allows you to save work before you charge the tablet. We can say that the tablet is enough for the whole day of work. If you use it primarily as a multimedia device, it may last for a couple of days, depending on the load.

Conclusion

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 is a good example of a new breed of productive tablet. Samsung is not trying to enter the tablet-to-desktop hybrid sector by relying on touch. There is a stylus that comes in handy for artists and designers, or just for those who want to take handwritten notes. It also has other uses for work and play.

Samsung DeX mode and optional keyboard cover also bring the tablet closer to computers. A familiar desktop is given, while all applications are distributed over it as on Android.

Is such a device worth 53,000 rubles? This is a pretty high price, especially considering the less advanced components inside. First of all, we are talking about last year's processor. If you want a tablet that can be a workstation and Android device for entertainment, few models can match the Galaxy Tab S4.

The alternatives include Microsoft Surface Go, which is unlikely to appear in Russia. In the West, it costs $ 400, the cover and keyboard are sold separately for $ 100 each. The device runs on Windows S and can be upgraded to Windows 10, but cannot be rolled back.

Then there's the iPad Pro Pro at the same price as the Samsung tablet. The stylus is sold separately for $ 100, the keyboard for $ 160.

We can say that Samsung has well thought out the pricing strategy and its tablet falls between the two mentioned above. We can say that it will become a worthy purchase for those who really need it.

How can the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 please? Anything but a radically new design. Of course, there are still some changes, for example, to the left of the Home button there is now a button for recently used applications, and not the Menu. The tablet has acquired a more rectangular shape compared to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0. But the main difference is the side frames, they have become really thin, and finally on a budget, inexpensive tablet. It is also good news that the tablet has become slightly thinner and slightly lighter than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0.

Traditionally for Samsung tablets, the device is decorated with a decorative border. The back panel is made "under the skin", like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Lite and many of the company's latest tablets. The camera lens is located in the center, but the speaker has moved to a new place and is now located on the bottom of the back of the tablet. This is not very convenient, since the sound, for example, when watching a movie, will be somewhere far away from you.

The case of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 is made of plastic, the build quality of the test sample is average - the case is solid, but squeaks under pressure and bends a little.

The tablet can be purchased in two colors - as always, they are white and black.

Dimensions and weight - 4.6

Due to the narrow side frames, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 is narrower than most 7-inch tablets, but at the same time lighter and thinner: 278 g versus 289 for the LG G Pad 7.0 and 9.4 mm in thickness. Only the Google Nexus 7 (2013) is thinner in our ranking among 7 inch tablets. In terms of dimensions, the changes are not so dramatic, but they are obvious. In general, the device is quite comfortable in one hand.

Ports and interfaces - 4.4

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 has a standard set of connectors: the headset connector is located on the top edge, empty on the left side, and separate slots for microSD and micro-SIM cards, which are covered with caps, on the bottom left. Supports memory cards up to 32 GB. A Micro-USB connector was found on the bottom edge. The set of interfaces, in our opinion, can be called good, however, thanks only to the presence of a 3G modem, for which you need a micro-SIM card. There is also dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11 b / g / n), Bluetooth version 4.0 - in general, a standard set. Fans of traveling or driving through an unfamiliar city will need a GPS receiver with support for A-GPS and GLONASS. As for the modem, as is often the case with Samsung, there are three modifications at once: SM-T230 without modem, SM-T231 with 3G support and SM-T235 with LTE support and Exynos processor. However, the latter is almost never found on the territory of Russia.

Performance - 2.0

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 is powered by a Marvell PXA1086 quad-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz, it has 1.5GB of RAM and a Vivante GC1000 graphics accelerator. On the Internet, you can also order a model with a 4G modem, which is equipped with a processor from Exynos, but finding it in Russia, at least for now, is problematic. Compared to its direct predecessor, two cores and half a gigabyte of RAM were added to the processor, but this cannot be said to have a positive impact on performance: Samsung still slows down, and its benchmarks are unimpressive. The tablet is quite suitable for watching movies, playing simple arcade toys and surfing the Internet, but even when performing such tasks, it is able to slow down.

In synthetic tests, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 showed poor results, which, however, is not surprising for a budget tablet from Samsung. In our tests, each of which was run several times, the average values \u200b\u200bare given for five iterations. In the Geekbench 3 benchmark, the device showed low results - 1053 points in Multi-Core tests, the Basemark OS II benchmark did not want to evaluate the tablet, which stably "hung" half way. In the browser benchmark SunSpider - 1273 milliseconds, which is long enough, at the level of the Acer Iconia B1-A71. In the Google Octane v2 browser benchmark, the tablet averaged 1,790 points, even lower than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0.

The results of the graphics chip are also not impressive at all - 3.6 fps in the T-Rex HD Offscreen test from the GFXBenchmark benchmark, the screen version refused to run on the tablet, and in the 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited benchmark - 2666 points, significantly lower than the results, for example, LG G Pad 7.0. You can only play simple games, or something heavy at minimum settings. For example, in NOVA 3, the first level took only 40 seconds to load, but it slowed down so that I wanted to quickly exit the game. Asphalt 8 looks depressing at maximum graphics, the tablet slows down even at medium settings. In general, low and very low - the limit of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0. During everyday use, the tablet can periodically slow down, but, in principle, not so critical, given its price.

Display - 3.8

The display of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 hasn't undergone any significant changes and remains, in our opinion, as mediocre as it was. The only interesting change is the resolution. It has increased from 1024 × 600 to 1280 × 800, which gives a slight increase in pixel density, now there are 216 pixels per inch. All competitors have been producing budget tablets with this resolution for a long time, and now Samsung has finally "pulled up" after them. The screen in our tests performed well on a 7-8-inch tablet. The display supports multi-touch, the touch input is accurate, so you can type texts without any problems. In the sun, information from the display remains more or less readable.

The result for the maximum measured brightness is above average - 418 cd / m2, and the brightness distribution is 86%, average, but the contrast ratio is 556: 1, worse than average. Color reproduction, in our opinion, is poor, and the display's color gamut covers about 70% of the sRGB standard and "lies" a little with colors. The viewing angles caused our complaints: I would like to be wider, but in any case they are better than, for example, on the LG G Pad 7.0. The display of the latter outperforms the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 only with a higher contrast, in other parameters it is slightly inferior.

Battery - 4.8

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0's 4,000mAh battery in our tests performed well above average. The tablet lasted an average of 5 hours 59 minutes. according to three tests in load mode, 19 h 20 min. - at minimum load and 11 hours 3 minutes. - in video viewing mode. But the tablet charges a little longer than 4 hours, which is quite a long time. Overall, the results are good, but inferior to, for example, the results of the LG G Pad 7.0.

Software

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 runs Android 4.4.2 with the well-known TouchWiz interface. A standard set of applications is installed on the tablet. Of the unusual, only a few points can be distinguished, for example, S Voice - a voice assistant that can search for contacts, dial calls, etc. There is also a suite of Hancom Office Viewer office applications for viewing documents. We can also note the standard smart screen function for Samsung tablets, when the display remains on while someone is looking at it.

In 2014, the South Korean company Samsung updated its Galaxy Tab line of tablets. As a result of this update, the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 tablet entered the market, where the last digits are the display diagonal (there are also models with 7.0 and 8.0-inch screens).

The device has received an ambiguous assessment among users of various profile resources. Someone argued that a tablet is a great solution for work and play. Others, on the contrary, passionately argued that the device is noticeably inferior to its competitors in almost everything and is not worthy of public attention. Which of these two points of view turned out to be correct?

Tablet specifications

According to the second side, Samsung Tab 4 has which do not correspond to the flagship. Is it so?

Indeed, in terms of technical equipment, it is very outdated even at the time of release. HD-matrix (and Samsung Tab 4 has a matrix with a resolution of 1280x800), in general, is not bad, but it is not enough to create a high-quality image on a screen of more than 10 inches in diagonal.

In addition, the processor that the company's engineers installed in the tablet also does not meet the modern needs of users. In the best case, on such a chip, paired with 1.5 gigabytes of RAM, you can while away the evening playing some Angry Birds or the first part of Injustice, or work in an undemanding office (by the way, the office is already preinstalled). But not more.

Maybe you can use a tablet for data storage? No. In the basic configuration, only 16 gigabytes are available - formally. In fact, only 12. Of course, there is a slot for a memory card, but it only supports microSD cards, the volume of which does not exceed 64 gigabytes.

You can't rely on good chamber modules either. The main camera has 3 megapixels, the front one has 1.3 megapixels. You won't be able to achieve any serious results in terms of taking photos or videos, but, for example, you can make video calls in Skype or other messengers without any problems.

Of course, we are not talking about any high-speed data transfer. In the best case, the tablet will have a SIM card slot. Then it will support 2G and 3G data transmission formats. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are naturally available.

So really, in the end, the Samsung Tab 4 tablet has rather low characteristics.

Autonomy and smooth operation of the device

I am glad, by the way, the battery life. A 6800 mAh battery, coupled with a well-optimized (and this is a rarity for Samsung) TouchWiz shell, running on the 4.4.2 version of Android OS, allows you to use the tablet without additional charging for 2-3 days. It can be much longer, by the way. It all depends on how intensively Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 is used.

By the way, the tablet software can be officially updated to the 5.0.2 version of Android OS.

Moreover, thanks to the same good system optimization, the tablet works quite smoothly and is not inclined to freeze unexpectedly. Although, of course, bugs, freezes and other small problems are present. But no one has yet managed to get rid of them completely.

The cost of "Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1"

And in general, all the shortcomings and flaws could be forgiven, if not for the cost of the device. Sellers ask for "Samsung Tab 4" from 16 thousand rubles and more. And this despite the fact that Xiaomi in 2016 produces tablets many times more powerful for the same price. Although you can not even take into account the Chinese companies. Samsung itself has much more interesting solutions from the same device segment for about the same price.

is a compact yet powerful 7-inch model. It is convenient to carry with you every day, thanks to which the owner will always have a wide range of multimedia entertainment and an effective work tool at hand.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 is powered by a quad-core processor Marvell PXA1088 with a frequency of 1.2 GHz, which provides instant loading of applications and content, quick access to videos, applications, games, and stable multitasking performance. This mobile device is equipped with 8 GB of internal memory, which can be expanded if necessary using compact microSD memory cards (up to 32 GB). This will be quite enough for storing a photo album, music collection, applications, videos and other content.
