Back in October last year, an entry in the FCC listing appeared with information about an upcoming budget-oriented tablet from Lenovo, dubbed the Tab 3 7 Basic. Since then, no other information regarding the device was revealed until today, when we learned that the Lenovo Tab 3 7 Basic has quietly hit the shelves and, of course, found out what the specs of the tablet are.

As the name suggests, the Lenovo Tab 3 7 Basic is a 7-inch tablet with very basic hardware specifications. The display resolution is a mere 1024 x 600 pixels and the device is powered by a quad-core MediaTek MT8127 processor clocked at 1.3 GHz, accompanied by just 1 GB of RAM. The 16 GB of internal storage space, partly taken by the Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system, can be expanded via the built-in micro-SD card reader.

Also the rest of the specs are very much low-end, including a 0.3 MP front camera as well as a 2 MP rear-facing one. The device is almost 10 mm thick, weighs 300 grams and is powered by a 3,450 mAh battery.

The Lenovo Tab 3 7 Basic (codenamed TB3-710F) has been priced at 80 Euro. It is now available in Germany, Nordics and Eastern Europe.
