Galaxy Tab 4 Nook Released Yesterday Gets Barnes & Noble's Treatment :
Barnes & Noble announced back in June that it would launch a co-branded Samsung tablet that would come with its Nook software . The Galaxy Tab 4 Nook hardware is identical to the existing 7-inch Galaxy Tab 4 , which lists for $199 , but this one available for $20 less . In fact , there's not even any Barnes & Noble branding on the device , only on the box .
Barnes & Noble says it's its thinnest Nook tablet offering yet, measuring 0.35 inches thick and weighing 9.7 ounces. It runs on a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor and has 8GB of built-in storage . About 5GB of that is usable , but with it's micro-SD expansion slot you can add storage upto 32gb . It has OLED screen and the resolution is 1,280x800 pixels (216 ppi) , which is fine , but actually a step down from the resolution of Barnes & Noble's last 7-inch model , the 2012 Nook HD tablet , which came in at 1,440x900 . The device runs on Android 4.4 KitKat -- including the Kindle app . It has 1.5gb of ram .
Galaxy Tab 4 Nook's user interface is where it defers from the stock Galaxy Tab 4 . You get the Barnes & Noble skin that's similar to that of previous Nook tablets . The idea here is that this remains a "reading" tablet , with your e-books and Barnes & Noble's book recommendations and deals featured on the device's home screen . You have quick access to your library , the last book you were reading and needless to say , Barnes & Noble's e-book and app stores . As before , you can also setup password-protected user profiles , so members of your family can have their own personalized content lockers .
There is Speculations of a bigger 10 inch tablet but the release date is not confirmed .
