Not quite what I was expecting

I got the Galaxy Tab 4 7" as an alternative to other tablets. I already have 2 which work fine but wanted something that wasn't tied to specific company for apps. My original intention was to use this for work doing screen presentations and also at home to stream movies. Unfortunately I can do none of these.
Firstly it will not do wireless screen mirroring which is available on my other tablets and a nice feature which allows me to use my tablets almost anywhere on a big screen with HDMI input using a third party receiver. Even with the all share feature this only allows you to stream whats on you tablets memory which means forget streaming internet movies. I ordered a wired HDMI adapter in the hope that this unit would connect to HDMI but this did not work either. Direct Connect only allows you to pass info between devices.
Secondly the memory, almost half is used for system apps, and although you can use a mem card for extra storage I appear to be having issues. For some reason my pics, apps will not transfer to my memory card. You cannot transfer all apps either. With only 12 installed apps I am down to only about 1GB left of memory.
On the whole not a great product for me but maybe for kids and people who just want a basic tablet with not a whole lot of bells and whistles.
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Tablet

This is a great little tablet. This is my "tuck into purse & go" tablet. The size is perfect for carrying anywhere . I use this tablet especially for reading. I download what I want & take it with me. Much better than a Kindle. It is nice that this tablet will also do everything else I need it to do.
Pros: Inexpensive, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great product but wanted something more

Samsung has ever remained innovative. I love the design and performance but I expected something more. If only this device had a SIM card support and came with a headphone, it would have surely impressed me. This device has a headphones port but doesn't come with headphones. A bit embarrassing. In addition, I wonder why Samsung didn't care to put SIM card facilities in it. If it had phone calling facilities, the device would prove to be a ROSE WITHOUT THORNS.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Lightweight
Cons: Not high def, Did not meet expectations
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good but not Great

I really do like this tablet, despite a few things that bother me. It's a really comfortable size and has snappy response to input. I love the micro SD card slot, but this is also the source of one of my complaints. The 8GB of on board storage gets consumed really fast so you really need the micro SD card to be the primary storage. Unfortunately, it isn't straightforward to do this. You need to go into individual apps and set each of them to use the external storage card. Okay, that works but is tedious. I made this change for the native "Gallery" app as well as Plex. Next up was GoPro. I have no way of telling GoPro to use external storage, but it sends all photos into the Gallery app. Didn't I tell it to use external storage? Yep. But it's not. After a few emails with GoPro they washed their hands of it and said that they rely on the Gallery app, and it should place the photos in the default location. So I need to contact Samsung support and see what's going on. What a pain. My only other real complaint is the addition of all of the Samsung apps along with their custom UI and the inability to keep up with the Android updates. I only have 8GB here guys. Don't fill it up with software I'll never use. I need the option to delete it.
Pros: Inexpensive, good battery life, responsive
Cons: convoluted storage situation, doesn't allow android upgrades, a lot of 'required' software that you'll never use
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love it, only thing I wish it had is hdmi output. The size and build quality are great, the on screen keyboard is eons better than my (much more expensive) iPad. Samsung seems to deliver great value, in my experiences and this is no exception.
Pros: Inexpensive, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, value
Cons: Not high def, no hdmi out
