Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 8 inch 850F

The Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 8” 850F is designed for multimedia use and performs as expected from a mid-priced table. Its 8 inch HD IPS display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels is able to provide users with enjoyable clear images. Although it may not compete with higher-end devices with better displays, the Yoga Tab 3's display is sufficient for videos and games for users who are not too particular with having flawless visuals. To further enhance the multimedia experience, Lenovo included Dolby Atmos dual speakers in this tablet, which provide above average sound quality and comes with an app which allows users to customize the audio to their liking. The Yoga Tab 3 is especially differs from its competitors in its design. It comes with a barrel on the left-hand side for easier handling, which also encompasses a 180° rotating camera and a kickstand. The rotating camera features a resolutions of 8 MP, but it lacks a flash. It is adjustable to mimic both the rear and front camera. The kickstand on the other hand is pretty handy, when there is a need to adjust the viewing angle in landscape mode, and it can also be hooked on the wall. Despite the added barrel, the Yoga Tab 3 is still decently light at only 0.472 kg. Other features include 1 GB of RAM, 16 GB internal storage (expandable up to 128 GB), and an extended 20-hour battery life.

Lenovo Tab4 8 inch 2017

The Lenovo Tab4 8 inch 2017 is one of the new affordable tablets announced at Mobile World Congress 2017 in Barcelona, Spain. It belongs to the Tab Series 4, a family of tablets that feature two mainstream devices and two premium media-focused devices. Running Android Nougat, stocked with adequate specs to chew through most apps and games, as well as a surprisingly premium design language makes the Tab 4 8 inch 2017 stand out. Designed primarily as a tablet for kids, the Tab4 range is strikingly good-looking. Coated with glass on both sides, it looks as if it can do just as well in the hands of just about anyone looking for a palm-friendly slate. Each is trimmed in plastic, featuring all of the necessary buttons to make operating the volume and powering on and off simple. The design is pretty sleek and makes the Tab 4 tablets look way more expensive than they actually are. It is a tablet focused on versatility, display quality and sound. Lenovo is offering additional kits with the Tab4, which are basically add-ons based on user requirement. Currently, there are two kits, sold separately, which make the tablets suitable for either kids or for office work. The Kid’s Pack includes more internet security with dedicated children’s account for safer web browsing along with a shock-resistant bumper, 3M stickers for scratch protection, and a blue-light filter. The Productivity Pack, on the other hand, allows one to transform the tablet into a 2-in-1 laptop with a Bluetooth-enabled keyboard and trackpad. For hardware specification, the Lenovo Tab4 8 inch 2017 is powered by Qualcomm’s lower range, Snapdragon 425 processor. Storage options include 16 GB and 32 GB. In addition, these tablets also feature 2 GB RAM along with a 8-inch (1280 × 800) IPS LCD display. The Android Nougat feature alone will see these devices being more competent than most at multitasking and saving battery with its enhanced Doze mode that analyzes battery usage patterns to improve its performance. The Nougat software has also been tweaked to have more advanced parental controls. The controls not only let parents manage what apps and content kids can access, they also have a nifty “on-times” and “down-times” scheduling tool. The tool lets the admin account decide what times certain apps or content can be accessed, which will be useful for any parent trying to limit the amount of Netflix their kids watch. There’s also a dedicated kids’ zone, that features curated “safe” content for children. Camera-wise, the Lenovo Tab4 8 inch 2017 comes fitted with a 2 MP front camera and a 5 MP rear camera. Common features include stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos and Android Nougat at the core. The Lenovo Tab4 8 inch 2017 is also available in Wi-Fi + LTE and Wi-Fi only models. It also allows for multiple user account setup. In terms of battery capacity, the Tab 4 8 inch has a 4850 mAh cell battery inside. Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

7.00:

This display format is in the mid-range for smartphones. It offers a compromise between good visibility, details and resolution on the screen, and you can still fit it into trouser pockets.

8.00:

Large smartphones and a few small tablets are available for this display size. Unlike most smartphones, you can see more on the screen, more details and use larger resolutions. Such formats are better for people with defective vision. However, such devices are no longer easy to fit in a pocket, and they are probably not quite light either.

69.44%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
