Lenovo launches four new Android tablets

Lenovo has launched four new Android tablets (yes, they still exist) under its Tab 4 line. First spotted by PhoneRadar, the Tab 4 8, Tab 4 8 Plus, Tab 4 10, and Tab 4 10 Plus are the latest additions to the company’s tablet offerings. They all run Android Nougat. Let’s break them down:

LENOVO TAB 4 10 PLUS

  • l 10.1-inch Full HD display
  • l Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 octa-core processor
  • l Up to 64GB of storage
  • l Up to 4GB of RAM
  • l 8MP rear, 5MP front-facing camera

The Tab 4 10 Plus is the most powerful tablet Lenovo announced. It comes with an Adreno 506 GPU, dual front-facing speakers with Dolby Atmos support, a 7,000 mAh battery, a USB-C port, and a $279 starting price.

LENOVO TAB 4 10
  • l 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 display
  • l Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 quad-core processor
  • l 16GB storage
  • l 2GB of RAM
  • l 8MP rear, 5MP front-facing camera

Essentially a budget version of the Plus, the Tab 4 10 is bigger and slower, with a worse display and doesn’t come with a fingerprint sensor like it’s big brother does. And Lenovo hasn’t released pricing for it yet.

LENOVO TAB 4 8 PLUS
  • l 8-inch Full HD display
  • l Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 octa-core processor
  • l Up to 64GB of storage
  • l Up to 4GB of RAM
  • l 8MP rear, 5MP front-facing camera

The Tab 4 8 Plus is essentially a smaller version of the Tab 4 10 Plus with identical specs. The fingerprint sensor is integrated with the power button, it comes with a 4,850 mAh battery, and it’s available in slate black or polar white.

LENOVO TAB 4 8
  • l 8-inch 1280 x 800 display
  • l Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 quad-core processor
  • l 16GB storage
  • l 2GB of RAM
  • l 5MP rear, 2MP front-facing camera

This is the slowest tablet of the bunch, and probably the one you should avoid. These specs would be great in 2011, but not today.

US users are getting the short end of the stick when it comes to these tablets, as the international versions are far more powerful. US configurations max out at 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage for all of these tablets. But if you live elsewhere, these may be a good deal if you need a cheap Android tablet.
