This is my 1st Samsung Tablet, the processing is very high. The 16:10 display is very colorful and looks very lively. The back of the tablet is processed with white leatherette. The connection for the power connector is located on the side. Here Samsung seems to have learned something. The 10.1ern the supposed to be under the Home button at the bottom - bad if you want to use the tablet on the sofa. The power cord is also a whole corner wider than the Galaxy phones. Thus confusion will be excluded. For music playback, the tablet at the upper side has the right and left two speakers that deliver a really rich sound. The only drawback is the SIM slot. Although the first attempt to insert the SIM card worked, but they rested not correctly. Unfortunately, I have in the first manual also get no real notice what I did wrong. Through assistance of a colleague test the error was but quickly found and made for a remedy. Samsung prints (unfortunately) on the protective film to correctly place the card on. If the foil off, you have to guess. Here Samsung might be better advised, in future a little hint determined to print on the device / shape. The battery is similar permanently installed as the iPad and can be apparently not changed itself. The term is at the beginning but very good. I have currently at virtually around the clock, I have in just 5 days have to load 2 times. However, I was also booked very much at home in the WLAN. For details, I can certainly say the end of next week, when I was less than a week on the road.
The initial setup was quite quickly and without further problems if you already have an account with existing apps. Simply sync, set up in accordance with Apps, finished. Unlike the iPad 3, which I own private, can be telephoned with the Samsung tablet even. However, one can argue about the usefulness if you use any headphones.
What unfortunately bothers me when S4 also here: that Samsung Apps diverse in advance already it is initially not so bad. But if one thing or another update performed during operation or accidentally clicking one or the other preinstalled app on this course are executed, then what in the later operation bothers me massively. I am interested in eg not that there are 15 new headlines the NYTimes today. Uninstalling is unfortunately only possible for the last update, but not the whole app. Here I would just wish to change on the part of Samsung very, because I would be for this "advertising" is not willing to buy a tablet for about 900 euros.
Currently I am divided. The unit itself, I find it very good, both technically and visually from. Would I but spend almost 900 euros for it, I can not assess at present. The preinstalled apps would deter me currently anyway it.
