Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 Coming To T-Mobile July 16th Online, 23rd In Stores, For $384

An LTE version of Samsung's mediocre 8-inch Galaxy Tab 4 came to Verizon last month, and now one has its eyes set on T-Mobile. Like Verizon, the uncarrier is pushing this tablet as a great piece of hardware for families to share. Considering the low 1280 by 800 display, I could see this as a great device to let junior smear peanut butter all over. But at 24 monthly payments of $16 ($384, over $100 more than the Wi-Fi only model), I may have to object.

In addition to the low resolution, buyers get 1.5GB of RAM, a 3MP rear-facing camera, a 1.3MP front-facing one, a microSD card slot, a 4450mAh battery, and KitKat. The Wi-Fi version has a 1.2GHz quad-core Exynos processor, but LTE variants sometimes get Snapdragons instead.

Since this is T-Mobile, customers can add the tablet to an existing Simple Choice Plan and get over a GB of data at no extra cost until the end of this year, with 200MB of free data available in the months after. Shoppers will be able to place orders online starting July 16th, and stores will start selling them in person a week later.
