The 4G LTE version of Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 is launching from Verizon tomorrow, on June 26.

This 4G tablet otherwise have the same specs as the Wi-Fi only version does, which means Android 4.4 KitKat, a 1280 x 800 resolution 8-inch display, a quad-core processor, 1.5GB of RAM, and 11 hour battery life, while one of the main features that set this tablet apart in this price category when it was launched, was the multi window multitasking feature.
Verizon is also adding “Verizon Messages” which lets users sync with a Verizon smartphone to send and receive text messages on the tablet.
