U.S. Cellular’s network is not as vast as the likes of AT&T’s and Verizon’s, so customers will want to take a look and see where it’s available before plopping down the cold hard cash for the device.

In places where 4G LTE isn’t available, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will run on the carrier’s 3G network.

4G LTE offers speeds that can reach up to ten times faster than those found on the carrier’s regular old 3G.

  • 10.1-inch WXGA PLS TFT 1280×800 HD display
  • Slim and lightweight at 1 pound, 3.9 ounces and .34-inch depth
  • Battery life up to 12 hours of usage, with standby time of up to 400 hours
