thats my first tablet. dang memories u got me to remember with this video. i had the 10.1 inch model in black color. but those sounds, the software and apps... nostalgia. it was the best tablet ive owned. too bad it broke in 2020. after that i got a new cheap samsung as a rwplacement and its very slow and laggy. note: the samsung tablet can update to android lollipop and supports newer versions of youtube. thanks for reading all of this 😂

I got this tab when I was really young. I use it as my main today as well and i LOVE recollecting memories of playing games and watching KZread on it... ahh the good ol' days

I remember when I really wanted this tablet when it came out in 2014. At the time, I was using my mom's Galaxy S4 to play games at the time. I also had a Nabi 2 tablet that ran Android 4.0 ICS that I got in 2012 when I was 3 years old (that I lost in 2013-2014), and I also had a 1st generation Amazon Kindle Fire tablet running Android 2.3 that I still use to this day. I finally had the Galaxy Tab 4 7" when I got it as a gift for my 6th birthday in January 3, 2015 (as far as I could remember). I used it and I loved it! and I played games and watched KZread. I also got an 2015 Amazon Fire 7 tablet I got in mid-2016, and a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime. Unfortunately, I lost this tablet in early 2017 in a gas station and the Amazon Fire 7 sometime around 2018-2020. God only knows where all of those tablets is right now... :( I also got an iPad 5th generation in 2017 that runs iPadOS 13 that I still have to this day. I'm looking forward to buy a new gray iPad mini. (yeah, I had quite a bunch of tablets) I might just buy most of those tablets on eBay so I can relive the nostalgia I had with these tablets! :D

Yes, you can use it in 2022, and KZread is runnable from the browser, surprisingly it's still very useful even 8 years since release.

The app for KZread and Netflix used to work until 2021. I was still using these two apps during lockdown. They were running fine until these f*cking updates. Now i can't use them apps unless I go to the browser (which is hectic). These updates are scams as they want us to keep on buying new phones and tablets. Nowadays devices aren't meant to last for years unfortunately.

I'll keep this short...I love, love, LOVE this tablet. kzread.infoUgkxLNmVocUk8tnSkwWIlYSNFzWRIaFTBuzS The picture quality is amazing and there are so many features that this technodino can't wait to learn! My only (very, very minor) complaint is that I ordered this in bronze and they sent me black. Yes, it should have been corrected, but we were only in country for a short period of time and I didn't want to run the risk of not getting a new one in time. I'm such a fan of Samsung Galaxy tablets that I'd rather suck it up than lose out on having it. In the big scheme of things, this rates an irritant factor of .0000000001 out of 1000. In other words, I'm not looking at the colors when I use it, so I got over it very easily.

I used to own this device and I remember being a 4 year old on this tablet KZread actually functioned properly and currently I have a iPad now, I got the tablet in 2019 when my old tablet started to be less functional

I have a 10.1 version i got it in 2015 and it was the best tablet i had so many memories

still have mine! the battery on this thing is insane! but app store crashes alot and alot apps dont download but other then that its great i use mine just for movies tbh

On 2021, I discovered some cool functions on the tablet's Gallery and the Video Player: I can hide photos, I can slow down videos and navigate from frame to frame!

I still have two of those (those were my kids starter tablets 10 yrs ago) - I am using them to be the Home assistant UI on the wall :) Looks and feels awesome and costing nothing.

I have one of these that's been setting in box for years. Planning on using it for a home dj music station.🤔

My parents bought me and my twin this 2, 1 for each when we were little and it's so nostalgic

I had this exact tablet from a really young age- my love for video games started on that tablet lol. It's how I started playing Brave Frontier (RIP), which got me the inspiration for my current online alias. It also started my Samsung pipeline, as I now own a Samsung S10e as well as a few accessories! Seeing the Tab 4 in this video gave me a huge surge of nostalgia, despite the memories of panicking over the tablet not waking up at times due to the games I played 😅

Our 10 inch still works but slow a hell and a little glitchy . We use it for YT and mostly in the kitchen for cooking recipes. Honestly would love to use it full time for my other stuff instead of using my phone . I'm not getting any younger and neither are my eye's lol

I really wish to use this tablet again, since my sd card is not compatible with my tablet and I don't wish to spend any more money I'll be de-bloating it using the universal android debloater (i hope it'll be sort of able to speed up my tablet)

I still have my Galaxy Tab 2 from 2012. It still works but it is painfully slow. The KZread app doesn't work anymore but it can still use the web browser version of KZread. The only browser that still works on it is Opera.

I still have this mini tablet I remember when I first got back in 2014. I went to see if it’s still works it does turn on and everything but nothing really is not supported such as apps like KZread, Amazon prime and more.

I received this used tablet from my relatives a few months ago, I cleaned up the old android 4.4.2, I installed Firefox and even an app that allowed me to connect it to the PC via WiFi and Usb and use Windows 10 in touch mode from Tablet. And already so he had come back to life. But yesterday I decided to install a Lineage Os 17 customized Rom that updated it to Android 10.. and gentlemen... I think I'll put a sim in it and use it as my phone for a while, it has become even faster and modern.

I have it and is super slow nowadays. Sadly most of the apps I use like office suit youtube, hbo, kindle are no longer compatible, chrome doesnt update anymore. I will use it just as pdf reader.

I have the nook version one. It’s slow but it’s great for what I use it for and that’s just to read while on the train. Just incase someone jacks it from me, i won’t really care to much. 😂

Used it yesterday to get some old Spotify playlists off my mums account as her account is broken ,it took ages to get a link out of it.

I've had this since 2014. Tablets have come a LONG way since then. I too was about to toss it away. The battery isn't the same but I'll keep a cord near.

I still used it up until today. Instagram, TikTok (occasionally), and KZread (web version) still runs smooth. Twitter stopped working when it switched to X. Unfortunately today it's now stuck on the boot loop of death.

My grandma gave me this tablet for free in 2018 or so. I have been using it to film funny videos with my siblings ever since. The only problem is that it is old and KZread and Chrome no longer update. They still work though!

This is my first tablet, i used this in 2015, but when we are moving in 2020, i was using this tablet for features, even the kids mode feature, but in 2021 i sold this tablet and the Samsung Galaxy Tab E to my aunt in Mexico.

I remember having one of these in 2014-2018 when i was a kid ❤ it was a 🔥 tab bro

I have this same tablet, and sure, some games fail to load properly, but everything still works!

I have this tablet, I use it primarily for reading via Nook, but I was curious if you've done any recent system updates? I'm trying to do so and it's not working for me, saying I need to go to Samsung Kies but then that program isn't installing on my PC - at a loss. Please help, if you can!

I bought one in 2014. I still use it in 2023 for retro game emulation

is there any way to update the android version to 5 or 7 ? probably not via samsung, but maybe through some jailbreak-kind of solution. Please let me know

i still use mine till this day tab 4 10inch lte wifi android 5.0

I just revived my tab4. It brings back old memories! Now I'm watching this video in my old tab, which is 9 yo

If you have another one, do a giveaway! 👍

I had one since Christmas 2015 when I was in 6th Grade, my parents gave me this Samsung Tablet as a Christmas gift, but I replaced it with an iPad 9 in 2021, which I now use as a Drawing Device. For the final years of using this Tab 4, I was using it as my main drawing device until that iPad with Apple Pencil. A suggestion of what to do with the Tab 4 in 2024 is to install a custom ROM and upgrade to a newer Android OS, and then use it as a Carplay Reciever Unit by installing an app that does that.

HOLY SHIT I HAVE THIS TOO black version tho Used to watch movies on this using Showbox and whilst it was a good experience the audio wasn’t too good when slightly far away.

I have KZread Vanced on my Galaxy Tab 4

So, I just dug up my Samsung T-230 Galaxy Tab 4, same as in the video, to use as a music player. To my bluetooth device and to the stereo in the living room. Like a remote with built in music so to speak. But unfortunally despite me logging into google account, I cannot get into google apstore Play. I wanna download a better music player, because the built in one is really really bad. I wanna be able to see my maps and folders, but I cannot with this music player. When I try get into Play store, its only loading, nothing happens. I will continue to let it go for a while. See what happens. It would be a perfect way to re-use this 9 year old tech device, and to actually get it to do something really useful. The battery is still very good and lasts for weeks when only used for music playing like I do. KZread on the device worked recently, but just today stopped working, it says "download the new version". Will see how it goes. Problem here is not the hardware, its the software.

I had it for years I currently use it as an ebook cause the light weight and the size I tend not to use it online much cause it drains fast otherwise great
