All the three tablets have software features carried forward from Samsung Galaxy S4 that make it easier to share. These include Group Play that slows users to share and play music, documents and games with friends in realtime.

The Tab 4 family supports Samsung's Multi-Window function, which means users can run two apps side-by-side simultaneously and drag content from one app to the other. This is particularly nice for those who like to multitask.

The new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 lineup will be available across the globe in Black and White colour option, starting in Q2 this year. There's no information on their pricing, though.
