Lenovo TAB 2 A8 Review

8 GB     See other variants reviews Score: 59.3 / 100

Lenovo TAB 2 A8 is a mid level tablet device, coming with a great 64-bit Quad-Core processor speeding at 1300 megahertz, a good size 8-inches multi touch capacitive display, a 5 megapixels back camera and a 2 MP front camera. But let's get into some more details.

This tablet is just 0.35" thick, making its way into the thinnest tablet devices podium. This tablet is only 8.27 inches long, but it manages to hold a 8" screen. This device is a bit heavy for a tablet this size, weighting 11.64 oz. Lenovo only offers the Lenovo TAB 2 A8 in color black.

Lenovo ships this device with an exceptional 1.3 gigahertz Quad-Core 64 bits processor, included in the MediaTek MT8732 chip and only 1 GB RAM memory which is a little disappointing for a tablet device of this quality. Handling graphic intensive apps, this tablet also uses an ARM Mali-T760 MP2 GPU speeding at 416 MHz. The Lenovo TAB 2 A8 counts with aquite big 8 GB internal memory and an SD memory card expansion slot, allowing the user to store hundreds of apps and games without any problem.

The Lenovo TAB 2 A8 is equipped with two cameras, a 5 megapixels back side camera and a 2 megapixels front camera. In addition, this portable tablet's camera also features geo tagging and auto-focus.

The Lenovo TAB 2 A8 includes a nice 8-inches display with a 1280 x 800 resolution, making everything look quite nice. Its display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

This tablet comes with an amazing 4200 mAh Li-Ion non-replaceable battery providing the Lenovo TAB 2 A8 an impressive battery duration. An issue to evaluate is that the Lenovo TAB 2 A8's battery is non-removable so you can't buy a new battery when it begins to get older, even though with this big battery you will probably replace this tablet before that happens.

This tablet counts with wifi capability (although it can't be provided to other devices acting as a modem), 4G LTE fast connectivity and the fastest 3G internet connection, supported by HSPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This tablet comes with 2 Micro SIM cards so it is able to use 2 different phone numbers and even different carriers in the same portable tablet.

The Lenovo TAB 2 A8 also includes a few nice features as Bluetooth and GPS Navigation, and a couple sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

Lenovo offers this tablet for 259 dollars, which is not a really offer for a tablet this level. It doesn't matter whether you want a tablet for playing games, are looking for a work portable tablet or want it mostly for social networks, this tablet device is definitely a good choice for you.
