how do I find out if my Samsung galaxy tab A is 4g or just wifi

On the lower right corner of your device there should be a sim card slot (not to be mistaken with the micro sd card slot) if it is a 4g device. There should also be a software setting for cellular if it has 4G. If you are still unsure, you can always take it to a carrier like AT&T or Verizon and ask them. If you really don’t know if it is 4G capable, then its highly probable it isn’t.
