The speakers are amazing when Dolby Atmos is activated and tuned to voice vs music. Your reaction bewildered me. I paid $129 for the keyboard case at the Samsung Store at the Eaton Centre (yes I'm in Canada too) so I don't know where you paid $200. DeX settings allows you to control whether an hdmi connector turns it on automatically or not.
I've used this tablet since launch, using the keyboard case and a bluetooth mouse, and it's an amazing device with the best screen on any tablet, amazing sounding speakers, battery life and DeX mode make it an all day media device/chromebook replacement. Your 'review' is far too critical and dare I say biased.
That's awesome to hear you got the keyboard case for so cheap. We got ours from Best Buy, and right now it's $200 on their site. I did mention that you can have DeX start up automatically in the review, but I couldn't find a way to do the opposite and have Dex turn off when you disconnect the tablet from they keyboard. You have manually switch back to tablet mode when we used it.
You're right about this being a bit biased though, I really like Android! The problem I have with it isn't that it is a bad tablet, it's the fact that despite the high price, the level of polish still isn't there compared to the iPad, which is disappointing for me since it costs as much as a decent laptop. There is also a chance that our unit had defective speakers...but I can't lie, they were really bad, my Nexus 7 from 2013 sounded better. I agree with everything else you said though, the screen is great, same with the battery. DeX mode is great with apps that have the ability to resize, but only a small portion that I use can be resized.
Glad you feel like you got your money's worth =)
Thank you for the reply. I gave you a thumbs up for being nice and replying. :) I understand what you're saying about the iPad, however in comparison to Android, this is the best Android tablet available. Personally, I wish Samsung slapped Tizen OS on it instead of Android.
As for your keyboard case, if you bought it yourself, you need to ask BestBuy for a price match (less 10% of difference). That's what I did, and only paid $122 can (BestBuy is also at the Eaton Centre). The BestBuy rep told me in honesty that they intentionally bump the price up. The official price is that of Samsung for $129.
Sorry, I forgot to add ... with regards to the speakers sounding bad. I had the same initial experience until I realized the keyboard case had plastic strips covering the tab's speaker holes, rattling and distorting the sound. Maybe this wasn't the same in your case, but I felt foolish once I realized there was plastic wrap that was causing the problem.
Thank YOU for taking the time to give us feedback and opinion. We like hearing different perspectives. We can both agree that at this point in time it's the best Android tablet money can buy, I'm just really cheap so maybe what's why I'm so critical =). Hopefully more and more manufacturers put out even better tablets so Android can finally get the love it deserves in the tablet space. Thanks again for letting us know about the keyboard!
@@wb4398 Is the batery live ok? Ipad has 10 hours on battery life, i have the galaxy tab s2 and my battery life is 6 hours. I think buy ipad pro buth the screen is lcd and i love the samsung displays. Shell i buy the tab s4? I have the tab s and tab s2 9.7 and 8 inch, galaxy s8+
Apple: glass front and back (people praises apple for 'innovation')
Samsung: glass front back and front (people complain, fingerprint magnet)
Double standard bas**rds out there. PICK A SIDE.
Why choose Samsung?
1. Tab 4s - $650+ vs Apple tab pro $799+
2. keyboard: $129.99 vs $180 (both no trackpad)
3. pc capability/availability
4. accessories: Pen included & fast charging
5. expandable storage
6. Similiar camera setup
Same/similar performance and versatility for a lot less.
He's and isheep...no doubt.
7. Unsupported.
Those are a lot of good reasons but only the iPad Pro is $799+ there’s more models of iPad that cost about 3 to 6 hundred, plus when it comes it the S Pen and Apple Pencil I feel like there are much more better apps for these pens on the apple App Store like Procreate, Affinity Designer, and soon Photoshop
But.... it has glass back .... and remember.... Samsung doesnt support its tablets! (even though Apple has the exactly similar os for the last 10 years ...)
I don't think we ever mentioned we love glass on phones and tablets. Seems like you're the biased one 😉
@@TheTechVengers it's good if you didnt but there's something telling me that if Apples tab had glass you wouldn't be so criticizing. Colleagues of yours have done the same and this is why we mention it here. Apple has been pushing the same and the same products, sucking money out of the suckers that will pay no matter what, offering an os that doesn't really let you customize your home screen. Samsung launches a tablet with the best screen on the planet ( but yeah it has very crappy speakers right ???) and still all the reviewers praise apple.... for what ? For the AMAZING support that it gives to the iPads??? Because EVERY TABLET USER needs to download 10 different designing apps on their tablet?.....
Oh yeah
.... after all this I'm glad I am the biased one here.
Who else is watching it with this with the tab s4
Me :)
Me
Meeeeee😁
what? speaker is bad? first time i heard reviewer say this,,
It may have been our unit in particular, another person pointed out that theirs were fine.
You don't have to be an audiophile to know that speakers on phones, tablets and laptops are bad
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 2. I added a 128 GB micro SD card and a good blue tooth speaker. Very happy with my Tab S 2. No way I'm paying $1000 for a tablet.
@@fattony9227 The TabS4 is $600.
The speakers are amazing, tuned by akg, i own one don't trust this guy lol.
Good review! For those complaining about the price, check out Apple’s prices for their new Pro iPads and accessories. It’s crazy! At least The S4 is expandable with SD cards and includes a pen. I’m thinking about switching to Android.
Thanks for the comment! The beauty of android is the choice you have! I'm sure you will find something that suits your needs perfectly :) let us know what you decided, we would love to hear!
the bad part about android is that it lacks apps, atleast apple got apps that are specificly developed for the iPad while android all share a platform
Hi Edward. The unfortunate thing is that it depends on what app you are looking at. Alot of smaller developers don't have the resources to focus solely on tablet support for Android. On iOS however there is a LOT more support for tablet mode among apps. Your best bet is to look at the main apps you use and want on a tablet and see if there is support on Android by looking at the compatibility section on the play store. If you have no preference as to what ecosystem you want to use, apple is currently the ecosystem which will see greater support for tablets . Hope that helps!
1000000% Chance the reviewer is an apple fanboy
+Patrick A you're really bad at this chance thing ...
you're really bad at this "non-biased review" thing
I actually don't disagree.. I've seen videos where there are actually apple fanboys and this one wasn't ..
As someome who owns a tab 4, and is even with apple and android, 1000000% chance your a fandroid.
I am still using the note 4 (on 3rd battery). I also have an ipad air. Facetime is an amazing app, use it extensively to talk with family in Asia. Last week apple gave me a brand new ipad air when I came for a battery replacement $100. I was blown away by this awesome policy. Wish Samsung support gets better. As you can see Note 4 and iPad Air are old devices, I don't care to upgrade to new device and waste money like the mass population. But when microcenter has a sale where the iPad Pro 10.5 is $450. I couldn't help and and purchased one. Of course I gave away a brand new iPad Air to my sister. Ipad Pro is good, still has 3.5 headphone jack (i use in gym when jogging on treadmill daily), and the touch ID is cool. 120hz on a tablet is gimmicky at best since all videos are 24, 30, or 60fps. Apple made the animation on the ipad pro quicker and it has nothing to do with 120hz, giving the illusion that it's snappier than regular ipad. Truetone is annoying since it makes everything warm. To tell you the truth, the iPad Pro isn't that much better than the iPad Air. Can't really ask your ipad back from your sister so you could return the pro now :D.
I don't like where apple is going with upcoming iPad Pro announcement: faceID and no headphone jack with upcoming ipad pro.
These tablets and smartphones are way too expensive, a lot more expensive than laptops,which is quite amazing to me.
I just prebuilt a new PC for $1970: AMD 2700x 8 cores / 16 threads cpu, 16gb ddr4, 480gb OS SSD, 2tb HDD, RTX 2080ti. AOC 27inch 4k 100hz g-sync for $250. This will be a 4k gaming monster and a video editing dream machine. How is it that a phone, a toy like the ipone x 256gb $1,149?
I couldn't agree more when you say that tablets and smartphones are expensive. Its crazy how much they cost considering everything else that you can buy with the same amount of money. Thats the free market for you I guess. Thanks for sharing your experience with all your products! I personally am an advocate of using older devices, I still have my iPad Air 2 and Macbook from 2012 =).
Looking at this or surface go. Want a tab to draw, watch movies and listen to music. Would this be good for that?? Go has advantage running Windows programs though.
hey thanks for the comment! actually we did a review on the surface go as well! if you check out our channel you will be able to find that video and hopefully that will help you make a better informed decision!
I can't say I agree with your critiques since I haven't tried out the Samsung Tablet yet but I like how you presented your points and were So eloquent. Not many UA-camr's know how to present their opinions without sounding as if they were paid to talk. Thank you.. Count me as a subscriber! Btw- Samsung is now selling S4 tablet online for $100 off PLUS A FREE keyboard & case if purchased together. A price reduction just in time for Christmas? I still opted to gift the S4-256G version without keyboard to my wife. We will see how she likes the tablet. Then I will try it out and see if you and I agree on criticisms since I am quite nit-picky. I already agree with you regarding keyboard - I tried keyboard in store and found it quite inferior to other Bluetooth keyboards that are far cheaper, including Folio's keyboard-cases. As for Price, I got mine at Walmart online and they were selling 256G version for $649 with Free shipping (they were also selling 64G version w keyboard for same price).
Thank you so much for your comment and thoughts on it! We can't wait to hear what your thoughts are on the device as well! That's a pretty good deal that you got there! Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New year friend!
I'm watching on my tab s4 😏
I think this is the best Tablet out there, The keyboard is sold in amazon for $89, This tablet does everything the ipad is missing as an ipad pro owner and a new samsung tablet owner I highly recommend it you wot regret it. :)
Hi, do we need to subscribe to Microsoft office products or does it work as app like we have in phones?
Yup works just like phones although in order to sync and get the full features a subscription is required . You can also try the Google suite of apps
I just bought this tablet. Very happy with it. Upgraded from the Tab S2, was it needed no. In could have squeezed more of my Tab S2. Good review by the way.
I know this is a wiwrd question but are you ablw to type in the dex mode without a key board?
Also is the keyboard on your case detachable? If not is it worth getting a magnetic one that has a detachable keyboard?
Not a weird question at all! Yes you can, DeX has a virtual keyboard you can choose to hide or bring up in case you don't have a physical one. The keyboard was not detachable from the case.
Ok thanks for telling me! I appreciate it! 😊
i like samsung tablet from 2014 first gen , all the way know i still use Tab S2.
my main use it watch movie , tv series, and anime.
The usb connection allow me easy to transfer file from pc and even HDD ( 2tb ) external where i keep my collection.
using small app like VLC , it allow to connect to local network storage( NAS) collection which i placed in my house to share movies with may family.
add to that i have SD ( 64gb ).
can i pad do that.....
So true! It looks like this tablet totally suites your type of usage ! Glad you are enjoying it and can't wait for the next gen tablet !

Haha you the best! I mean come on, best smash character in the game, gotta show some love to pikachu! 😉
you suggested using iPad if you want to run windows or mac applications? Does iPad run windows and mac apps I assume android does not have this functionality)? Can you elaborate? I don't own an iPad yet, but thinking of getting it.
Hey Andy thanks for the question! Just to clarify we mentioned that for those who want to run Windows or Mac applications, this wouldn't be a viable option. We don't mean that iPad is a better option. More like a Surface or MacBook Air . Hope that helps!
I have a question. Should I buy the Samsung keyboard $150 or buy another bluetooth one only $50 like Logitech? Please give me an advice. Thanks lot
Hi Nghia, Thanks for your comment and sorry for the late reply! Go with the $50 logitech. If it means saving $100, you are way better off doing that. The differences between the two will definitely not translate to spending that much more on a keyboard. Good luck and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the review, both povs. Very good
Very good review! Keep it up!!!
Thank you so much for your comment :)
This is a great, practical review of the product. It's not like the others who seem to only focus on the stats (not that they can explain why they're important). Such a shame the tablet isn't amazing, as it looked to have potential. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much for the reply Ed! We are glad to hear our perspective has been helpful and that's definitely what we want to strive for ! Focusing on specs is important to an extent , but it all boils down to the user experience :) have an awesome day!
Thank you for making this video!
Thank you for watching! Appreciate your support ☺️
I love my Tab s4. I think its great . I put a case on mine with hand strap/shoulder so I dont drop it and I have had it a month now and dropped it a few times and it has yet to hit the ground.
That's awesome! What kind of case did you use ?
Keep doing this!
I thought you had thousands of subscribers until I saw your channel
Your comment is what keeps us going ! Thanks so much !
Liked and subbed :) great 60fps! I love tech videos in 60fps, but sadly tailosive who is an apple fanboy is the only other UA-camr that does tech that I've found with 60fps. I love android! I will definitely watch your videos in the future.

@@TheTechVengers yeah! I really hope you grow as a channel!
@@TheTechVengers also do you know if the galaxy skin is gonna be a thing still around Christmas? I need a new tablet and don't really like iOS, and want to be able to brag to my friends that I have a dope skin lol
@@RiverSight not sure on this. We already claimed the Galaxy skin so it's probably best to get it sooner than later if you want it ! Good luck !
@@TheTechVengers ok. Thanks!
The S Pen with multiple options for handwriting recognition keyboards is an amazing feature in this tablet. It gives me an excellent productivity!!
This feature doesn't exist in iPad pro and very limited in Surface pro.
Hafez, thanks so much for the comment ! We love that feature as well and really glad you are enjoying it. Thanks for sharing!

Can anyone please help me in deciding which tablet should I buy
1. Samsung galaxy tab S4

Good job....you got a sub

Would a surface go really be a better alternative? It just hast a Pentium dual core processor the same amount of ram and very unoptimised windows 10 for tablets.
IMO the surface go is better for productivity use, especially since its keyboard accessory comes with a trackpad and feels better to type on (though still too cramped for my taste), and Windows is still far more polished than DeX + Android. As you pointed out, the weak processor of the Surface Go doesn't let you do more than the Tab, and while it is a great Android tablet, the Go is just a better tool for those wanting to use it for productivity.
Honest review. Still bought a s4 without the keyboard and purchased a quality Logitech mobile Bluetooth keyboard and mouse separately for less than the price of a Samsung keyboard accessory. Your right, I don't know who prices the Samsung product but math was not their best subject.
Thanks so much for the comment Hunter! That's a smart move getting the Logitech keyboard!
Hello sir..... What kind of camera are you using for your video? It's pretty good
Hi there. Thanks for the comment! The camera is a Nikon D5300 with a 50mm f1.8 lens. Hope that helps !
This is a very solid device the issue is Android really don't have apps for tablets to take advantage of the bigger screen and other accessories. But I would rather pay for this then the over priced iPad.
Thanks for sharing ! Yes unfortunately at the moment the app support isn't as good but I feel a push for quality tablets in the android space is imminent. That will drive developers to focus more time on better apps.Here's to hoping !
Samsung Electronic devices are better built over Apple electronic devices. Samsung devices is a better choice for the consumer in quality,a better brighter screen, options, accessories, and value. For what Apple's manufacturers charge for their devices such tablets and phones they should include a better screen, an s pen, and a sd card option absolutely free. Ty in advance. 😎👍🧡🇺🇸
Hi can you use the S-pen as a remote to take photos / start & stop video recording
Hi thanks for your question! I don’t think you can unless Samsung updated the software. You definitely can on the Note 10, so there might have been an update to it. We don’t have the tab s4 with us anymore as it was sold just recently !
im here before a 1000
I am wondering which tablets should i choose, could anyone give me some advice?
I am a university students and i want to buy a tablet to TAKE NOTES in the lecture and do some daily routines (ie watch youtube, play games, check email ... ... ) Currently i have a iphone6s plus and a samsung notebook 9always NP900X3T-K02 on hand. I could only afford it (include tablet of the wifi version and the pen) if it is below 600 USD. I am now considering the samsung tab S4 and the ipad 9.7 inch with extra paid apple pen. Could anyone give me some useful advice on which one should i choose or if you have any other better recommendations, please comment below. Much thx and Merry Christmas!
Hi Chan thanks for your question. So this one is sort of tricky but in summation, any one of those two options will be fantastic and will do the job for what you mentioned. Our advice is, since you are a student on a budget, look at what you can get for the cheapest price between the two. If you can even get last year's iPad pro with a pen, it's still fantastic and the bonus is that it will seamlessly integrate with your existing iPhone . (Eg: airdrop) . Hopefully that helps you narrow down your decision! Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New year!
hey i’m thinking of buying this but i want a case that is good and includes a trackpad because i will use this for school. i want it as a case please leave recommendations or options to buy one
Last tablet I bought was the nexus 7. Durable, cheap, qualified. Too bad I can't find anything now days I'd want aside from maybe an iPad mini which isn't really worth it for me either between the os and no expandable storage.
We feel you John! The Nexus 7 was our favorite. Hopefully a pixel tablet will come soon!
Ty for the review. What tablet would you recommend as multimedia tablet (to read comics/Mangas and stream movies/shows and animes). Price isn't that important but this one seems a bit like an overkill. (I would prefer Android tho).
Hi Spitfire! Thanks for your comment! If price is not a factor, this is an excellent choice! Anime looks amazing on this device and you will thoroughly enjoy movies on it. The one thing you should base your decision on is, what do you use to manage your media (such as books and comics)? If you use Google play books, Google play movies etc, then either ecosystem works. You can get an older iOS tablet and do everything you mentioned without compromise. As you mentioned , if you prefer android, you will not be disappointed in this tablet ! Hope that helps!
@@TheTechVengers I mainly use plex for shows and movies, anYme for animes and tachiyomi for mangas/webtoons. So I do use mostly apps that are o l'y available on Android. Ty for the rec, I may get it at the end of the year.
I am planning on getting this soon even though the price tag is kinda expensive $784.55 the most I spent on a tablet is about $300 but need a good device for college use can't wait to get one with a case good review
Wow was thinking this device would go down in price after some time. Have you thought about checking second hand? There are amazing deals out there for second hand tablets and as long as you do your due diligence, you can score a great deal on one of these. Also eBay is great, since your purchase will be protected by PayPal . Anyway, good luck! We hope you find the right device that suits you and thanks for the comment !
Yeah $784.55 is waaaay too much for this tablet
I'm torn between buying a note 8 or a tab s4, which would I get?
I'm an artist, so I'm getting inclined to the tab s4 because of the size, but I want higher spec and better camera so I'm inclined to the note 8.
When you press the side button, it works as an digital eraser :-)
Yup, I just wish that they placed it on the end as we found ourselves hitting the button far too often but I accident when drawing 😂 . Thanks for the comment tho! Will def be helpful for people that don't know yet !
Really thorough. Changed my mind about getting one. I'm glad because I really didn't want but it has Bluetooth 5. Not many tablets do, but I'll wait. I want one with a stylus and BT5. Any suggestions?
Thats a tough one, you might have to wait a bit for a decent alternative to appear.
@@TheTechVengers Understood, thank you.
I am looking for a tablet that I can use as an entertainment unit like google books, video, and web browsing but also do some work when I out say at a cafe. For work, I need to use email, google drive and all the MS office features. The Dex sounds like a good fit as I can download files to folders and do drag & drop for email. What do you guys think?
It sounds like this device we be more than sufficient for your needs! We say go for it and if you can get a deal on one, that's even better! Good luck and let us know how it works out!
Thank you for helping me make up my mind re keyboard case like the ipad pro version it is an expensive POS . I will stick to my bluetootn keyboard which akso works on my other devices .
So glad we could help ! Thanks for leaving us your comment :)
How do u not have 1 million u deserve more subs
Thanks so much for the kind words! We appreciate you!
im going to wait until after xmas and see what new tablets will be in 2019 then I can start saving my money. Maybe there be New IPAD Pro im hearing rumors about it.....
If you are willing to wait that's a smart move! The new iPad pro does sound exciting
I also like the oled screens, but am afraid to buy. I have a galaxy tab S2 9.7 with a battery life of up to 6 hours. ipad pro goes longer on baterij. also the updates, samsung 2 years max? I'm afraid of the battery life of the tab s4. for the ipad pro are the black view good when watching netflix or youtube? which choose ipad pro 10.5 or tab s4?
The one glaring problem with Samsung is that updates tend to lag behind. Their product support still does not compare to Apple but they are slowly making improvements. I would definitely suggest playing around with it at best buy or a store that has a product display. I would also suggest buying from a store that has a good return policy, as that's the best way to test out devices if you are still conflicted ! Good luck !
Only reviewer I have come across to say the speakers are bad, but I will look at the surface pro.... thanks
Hey. Know of any other cases for this that have a holder for the pen? My tab S 10.5 is starting to give out.
Hi Jesse, one really good case I recommend is the infiland Tab s4 case with pen holder. It's a solid case and not expensive at all. You can find it on Amazon . Hope that helps !
The TechVengers Thanks man! I've been on the phone with Samsung lately trying to find an unlocked LTE model of this in gray with 256GB. Way more storage than the 16gb of my tab S. Really good review. Hope to see more from this!
Wow that would be plenty of storage for sure! You will love it though when you get it! Good choice and thanks for the kind words !
Tab S4 still offers much more productivity than an crapple device. Bought one and sold it a few months later, too much work - a - round etc; only Puffin browser works on Crestron website, no expandable storage, not able to send sms to other device besides other ios and lack of customization. Plus more limitations for a product they claim can replace a PC.
All valid points and we are happy you found something you enjoy! Thanks for the comment :)
You had me in the first half not gonna lie
Is there a keyboard that you recommend to use with this?
As one user mentioned, it is possible to find the Samsung Book Keyboard case for $130 Canadian, and while the points in my video still apply, at the end of the day it integrates the best with the Tab S4 as they were designed around one another. So if you can find it for that price it might be the best fit for you.
Personally I don't like keyboards built into my tablet case, I have a chromebook and desktop, so I tend to use tablets as a consumption device and rely on a swipe keyboard to write notes, answer emails, etc. That being said, Logitechs K480 has been my go to and integrates extremely well with how I use my devices. You can connect up to three devices via Bluetooth, and quickly switch between them with it's built in dial, allowing you to basically type on three separate devices without going through the hassle of pairing. It its much bigger than the Book Keyboard case, but it fits the Tab S4 well, is much more comfortable to type on, and is still portable enough to carry around. The one downside is that the Tab S4 bezels are quite thin, so it might be hard to use this keyboard and navigate using the touchscreen, but you can get around this with a Bluetooth mouse or track pad.
I've read different reviews for the Tab S4 and I frankly DON'T AGREE!! I have never had a issue from ANY of my Samsung products past and present... mind you I have a A10E, The A20, The Galaxy Watch, The Samsung Buds and as of now the Tab S4 and I'm more than pleased considering that the only thing keeping me with Apple was the seamless connectivity and Samsung has FINALLY given its customers a few more beautiful options!! Great Review though
Thanks for the comment! Samsung products are getting better and better as time goes on !
I own this tablet instead of an iPad Pro because of the MicroSD Card, the 16/10 Super Amoled Screen, Dolby Atmos compatibility, Android customization, S-Pen, emulators and so on. There's no way I change my S4 for an iPad Pro. But I will maybe take the iPad 2019 as a secondary tablet when it will come out.
Thanks so much for the comment Thibaut! We definitely agree! Do let us know what you decide when the new iPad comes out!
@@TheTechVengers I hope it will have an headphone jack, if not, I'll buy an iPad 2018. And a laminated display would be nice too, and quad speakers. Let me have my dreaaaaams ;_;
We just need more proper desktop like apps on android, I want to use something like clip paint studio on my android, but is there? No
Is there anything stopping developers on android to make a similar app with a similar brush system? No
Would I end up buying an ipad because android app developers won't get serious enough to develop against the competition? Yes
Mr Noot noot Mcnoot They’ve never been too serious about android tablet apps. So, I also don’t see the point...
koolkatken the point is that the market will continue to shift towards apple Ipads if developers don't start making android apps for tablets
We couldn't agree more. Bing prefers the openness of Android and it's a real shame Google hasn't been very focused on Android Tablets. Hopefully that might change soon as they continue to develop projects like fuchsia.
Hello i am getting this tablet and wanted to know what microSd card you recommend for it . does the outside package show it is rated for A1 or A2 by chance and do you think 400gig of A1 is worth it over 256 of A2 speed for about the same price i think its 10 dollars difference .. Thank you
Thanks for your comment Jason! It really boils down to what you want to use the device for and what you value more. Speed or storage? While A2 is a significant speed difference over A1, you should also ask yourself if you will be putting apps on the card or the internal storage. If it's the latter than A2 is your best bet. If not, I doubt you will notice much of a speed difference over A1, and the extra storage space might be more beneficial. Hope that helps!
Sorry, I meant the former is your best bet. If you are storing it on the card, then A2 is better for that
@@TheTechVengers thank you for the reply. i am kinda disappointed that there is not more out for this tablet , like rugged style cases also the lack of information . i couldn't find what it will stream movies in even calling various companies such as Netflix and Vudu. even Samsung wasn't much help. i just got off the phone with Samsung and they told me this is a A1 device but the person helping me kept putting me on hold trying to find the information out . i want this mainly for watching movies and playing a few games on such as Dungeons and Dragons games like Baldur's Gate II while i travel . .
If Samsung mentioned it's A1 then it's probably best to go with that. We didn't find any information on the card compatibility ourselves unfortunately. As for streaming, those apps are available for Android app it should work just fine and I don't see this thing having any performance issues with most games for Android. You can check the Play store as well to make sure it's compatible with your device
How do you not put it in Dolby atmos my last Apple product xs max never switching back to Apple and haven’t used Samsung since the galaxy s3 I hated that phone got the iPhone 5s then xs max and that sht is the same just a stupid larger screen and updates that didn’t convince me so i returned to the all great Samsung love them
Awesome content delivery! I couldn't believe you only have 292 subs... Well I'm glad to have found your channel!! Can't wait to see what else you create! Subbed
Thanks Jose! Anything you want to see specifically?
The TechVengers that's a big question!! how about a comparison on the Tab S4, the Surface Go, and the iPad Pro 10.5? focusing on multiple use cases or personas (the student, the artist, the professional, media consumption).
Also, congratulations!! you've gained almost 40subs since i posted my comment!
very well deserved!
Thanks for the support! It makes our day when people let us know they enjoy our content. We don't currently have plans for a comparison, but we hope to do one before Christmas to let everyone know what they should get.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab E 9.6 it does a good job so deciding to just stay with what I got but the S4 does look good just to much at this time
As long as the current tablet does a decent job, sticking with it is a smart move! We all love the latest and greatest but sometimes it doesn't make sense. Thanks for the comment!
The only thing that turns me off is the price, but since the tab a doesn't have the s pen OR the ear buds in the box, I might just have to get this. The s pen is going to be the main driver for me since I love to draw, so without it in the box I would be dissapointed.
It does come with the pen
I got the tablet this week and I must say its amazing. The screen, the gameplay, watching shows/movies all excellent. The S-pen actually feels comfortable and the battery life is great also, you can charge it once and it will last you the whole day literally.
I refuse to pay over £150 pounds for a keyboard though, that is ridiculous. It would be great to have so I will be definitely looking for alternatives.
Thanks for letting us know Percy! Glad you are liking this tablet !
Who's stylus is better. Apple pencil or S Pen? And I'd buy it because I like android os and will use it for games and movies
Hey there thanks for the comment! The spen and the Apple pencil are both excellent for their intended devices. I've tried both and they are very accurate and precise. I have heard that the spen is more preferred for people with tendinitis, as it's size and weight work better for them. If you love android, go with the spen hands down!
Well the S-pen tech has exsisted way before smart phones, it's an excellencet precise technology and Samsung even improved it. And the stylus is cheap and replacable, it has. Fine point good for accuracy and it's pressure sensitivity is superior and it also has cursor hover.
But you see apple did what is clever to market their device, taking the stylus design from Adonit, copying the tech from Wacom and placing on their tablet which they equipped with superior art software kicking Samsung and Wacom in the butt. So basically you would have to choose base on
1. Do you need productivity apps with almost desktop like features for Art? (Better ratio for artists,tho tab s3 has that almost same ratio,but bad for media )
2.Or you need a better media consumption device with Dex and could have better apps in the future (also better display) also more customization
P.S you got my subscription
Thanks for the support my friend ! We hope you enjoy our content :)
@@TheTechVengers you're so welcome
Good Review. Would the Samsung S3 be a worthwhile purchase now that it has dropped in value, against similar priced iPads?
Absolutely. If you aren't a demanding user, last year's version will suffice.
Can u please tell me whether it can support to connect 4TB hard drive (have usb A type connection as usual) through its usb C port. Please confirm me so I will purchase it soon...
Hi Sourav, we haven't tried it with a 4 TB drive but I imagine it should work, although you might have to jump through some hoops to get it to work. If you look online at how to connect 2TB or greater to an android device, you should find some useful articles that can walk you through the process. Hope that helps. Please let us know how it goes!
Hi TecVengers, thankful to you.
I called Samsung care for this but one of the executives told me that this S4 tab is not supporting any kind of hard drive only u can expand its internal.
One more thing I want to ask u please help me once again whether it will support 2TB HARD DRIVE or not via cable I also have 2TB SEAGATE hard drive.
Really I am very confused about what I should do now...
Hi one quick query!!!
Is the Microsoft surface go keyboard compatible with samsung tab s4 ???
Hi thanks for your question. Unfortunately it is not as it uses a proprietary magnetic connector to dock the keyboard. It doesn't act as a standard Bluetooth keyboard as far as we know
Is problem ram 4 and bit 32, may because poor speed games ❓
Awesome review guys, it seems like a pretty good product if it was $200-300 cheaper
Thats the best review on youtube for tab s4. Great work. Keep it up 👍🏻
Thanks so much for your comment! Hope it was helpful for you :)
Well said...
Tab S4 is good... but iPad pro are way much better, for Tablet experience.. If you want Andriod Tablet experience then Tabs4 is best.. Same time if you want the best tablet., then no doubt it's iPad pro.. wait for New 2018 version..
Thanks for the comments Jeevan. Totally agree !
I am truly interested in this tablet for gaming, video editing and artwork
This will definitely help you in both those aspects ! Let us know how you like it!
@@TheTechVengers lol gotta get my credit score up again to pick up this tablet
You'll get there ! And have this tablet in no time !
@@TheTechVengers hopefully soon
make it at least 16gb of ram you could probably get a laptop with decent specs for cheaper or equal price gonna be a pass for me its nice but overpriced imo great video ☺🖒
Agreed! A couple years maybe? Phones are already pushing the envelope @ 8 gb so it's only a matter of time
Nice review.....
Thank you my friend !
If you know, S pen has a feature (especially works with Samsung Notes App), by long-pressing the button, and it will become an eraser. So you do not need 'flipping-over the pen' feature
Hey thanks so much for letting us know! We appreciate that
Hello, may I ask if you have tried to install the "S Note" app?
And if you do, how does it work?
thank you for the reply!
Hi thanks for your question. The tab had a default Samsung notes app installed which works well with the spen. Hope that helps!
@@TheTechVengers thank you for your reply! In fact, I'm a Note 8 user, and I found the default note taking app, which is "Samsung Note," doesn't support zoom in/out in its drawing mode... Yet "S Note" supports.
Being able to zoom in grants me greater drawing precision
@@TheTechVengers So I found and install the app (S Note) from Samsung's "Galaxy Apps."
I wonder if it still possible on tab S4~
PS: the app is also available on Google's Play market, yet the version available there is older, so I resorted to Samsung's own "Galaxy Apps" to acquire.
Would you recommend this for drawing and animating?
Hi thanks for the question. Absolutely! The spen is amazing for drawing and has really good accuracy. We are hoping to do a video on the advantages of tablets like these and may even have some input from an artists perspective.
@@TheTechVengers thanks for the answer I might get one of these for my channel
Doesn't the iPad have a full HD LCD? How is that better than a 2K Super AMOLED (OLED) HDR display?
I wish the galaxy note line would sync a little more seamless with their tablets. I switched from iPhone because my prosthetic leg application will not work with iPhones because their Bluetooth tech is outdated.
This is exactly why I (Jer) use the iPhone XS as a daily driver now. The ecosystem and seamlessness of using all devices within it is a fantastic experience. If the pixel ecosystem ends up doing this well at some point, I wouldn't mind giving it a go. Really want to make a video on the ecosystem experience and their differences at some point, so thanks for sharing!
I like both, I actually really like the note 8 a lot more than I thought I would so I picked up a Tab s4 to go along with it. I had iPhone for 10 years and I think it is still a bit of a learning curb for me. I am just tired of Apple's bullshit. I have 100,000 dollar plus prosthetic leg that an iphone can't connect because they refuse to update their Bluetooth tech.
Make a full review on tab s4 pie update.
Well to be honest I'm waiting for otterbox to come out with the $90 Samsung Galaxy Tab s4 case
What’s this Tablet like for games like goat simulator and minecraft? I’m using an iPad Air 2 and am looking for an upgrade, not sure if I should get this or not!!
Hi thanks for your question! They did perform very well in our testing and did not encounter any problems. Does it perform poorly on your iPad air 2 ? If so, this would be a great upgrade !
@@TheTechVengersMinecraft and goat sim crash all the time!!
Planet Random get an ipad pro and enjoy the beastly processor.
WhAt AbOuT tHe GaLaXy SkiN
What do you want to know about it? Unfortunately we already claimed it if that was what you were wondering!
I mean it does look like a good tablet to play fortnite on. Most tablets that have fortnite on it are good for playing(sadly the lone of my top reasons I want it)
Get this if you’re in the Google ecosystem and have a lot of Android apps. PUBG is another reason over the Surface. Those are two different devices. iPad is another whole story.
It is about the apps for me. So I need app developers to step it up. Especially #goodnotes and #procreate
Absolutely! We procreate would be awesome if it came to android !
well,, I just bought the S4 after giving up on SAMSUNG ever releasing a replacement for my GALAXY NOTE 12.2.
my GN12.2 has been with me day and night for 4+ years and still a very capable pad
but I feared its nearing the end of its life and I wanted to roll over to a new pad in unpanic mode...
So, am I happy... its OK... but why o why SAMSUNG why isnt there a 12.2 version...
when it comes to stylus pads SIZE MATTERS !
Some other downsides...
GLASS back is slippery..(REALLY SLIPPERY). the old textured plastic is much more grippy...and secure
SCREEN menu home, back buttons are a pain having to swipe up to access them... put them in the bezel Samsung
VOLUME buttons are reversed... why the changE SAMSUNG?
STYLUS must have a pocket clip on it... I use my older Samsung HM5100 stylus.. much nicer.
STYLUS screen tap response is flaky... my GN12.2 is respnsive and consistently good
I can live with it but my GN12.2 is better to use..... and I will buy another 12.2 Android stylus pad when it comes out....
Thanks so much for your input! We hope it can help someone out
Don't think it's for me but that was a good review, keep up the good work 👍
Thanks for the comment Barry!
Omg what an obvious payed for apple fan boy! Are you for real? Dont get me wrong I myself was a fan boy of the apple eco system before I woke up and smelt the Rose's . But omg freedom of android shows apple to be a capitalist Soviet ecosystem like.! I could and should go on but I really can't' be bothered , I have had the first to last iPad bar from the 12inch model? I feel like mug for being taken in . They could and probably are selling sand to the arabs!
And this kids, is why you shouldn't drink before jumping onto UA-cam...
Tech how big is the tablet like length and width
According to Samsung's store page the dimensions are; 249.3 x 164.3 x 7.1 mm and for weight its; 482 g (Wi-Fi), 483 g (LTE)
I didn't think that someone with such low subscribers could put out a video such as this. Very very, good job
John, this comment made our day. Thanks!! We started our channel in December of this past year and became serious about it in June . The growth we have seen so far is awesome and hope to give you guys better and better content with each new video! Appreciate the kind words and hope you have a great day!
The TechVengers When you started your channel, did you have to purchase all your reviewed products (like this one) yourself?
Hi Scott! Good question ! When we started off, we had bought so many tech items between the two of us that we thought "Hey, why not review it!". Most of our reviews are from stuff we own already. But we figured there are so many of our friends who are buying brand new tech, or even have old tech as well that we can review. We have been really lucky these past few months as we had friends who were buying new phones and tablets. This S4 Tab for example was actually purchased by a friend's dad who gave it to us to use for a couple weeks. We also know a couple people who work at big box stores that get us tech for super cheap so it works out great! You should definitely start by reviewing tech you own, and then ask friends and family to help you out!
The TechVengers Cool. Have you asked companies for review samples?
Funniest back handed compliment lol
Your one complaint is that "both the back and front are covered in glass"?? I'm confused, is the front display supposed to be made out of wood??
As nice as glass is aestheticly, it's pretty bad at protecting your tablet, it's not necessary for the tab s4 to be covered in it.
I am a Samsung and android fan. I recently bought an iPad Pro at Best Buy for $525 u.s. and another $50 off for open box. I wanted the tab s4 but for $175 difference I swallowed my hate for apple this one time. It’s ok for the price I paid, but no I won’t be jumping on the apple bandwagon.

It feels like you have 1 million subs which is strange you remind me of Austin.
Thanks for the comment and your support! We can never do it without our community and we strive to give you guys the best content we possibly can :)
The TechVengers you guys put so much effort but no credit you need more.
if you are reading from a prompter try repositioning it a bit lower. the way your eyes staring above the lense is distracting
Hi Blr thanks so much for the tip! We are trying to get better at not reading off a script but it's definitely needed to keep our content structured, at least for now. Will def keep that in mind for our next videos and hopefully won't have to rely on it that much at some point :)
I'm going to wait until they make one that's under $500 like Apples iPad because I'm sure it would sell more if it had one on par with Apples prices of their tablets. I don't really like paying over $500 for a tablet unless it's actually worth it.
That's a fair point and I'm sure there are allot of people who would agree! A Pixel tablet that isn't so pricey would be awesome!
