Yesterday we reviewed Lenovo's second-generation 8-inch TAB
tablet, the Lenovo TAB 2 A8. This Android slate runs Lollipop and enjoys some
improvements over the previous version, including a slimmer build and more
angular edges, a newer version of Android, and better audio software. If you
happened to miss that review, be sure to check it out for a full run down of
the specs and features -- in the meantime, we have a tl;dr summary for you.
Here are three things to know about the second generation update.
1. It doesn't feel cheap
The first A8 felt cheap, and no one wants a gadget that
seems like it belongs to a lower tier than it actually does. The TAB 2 A8 has
very modest updates to the design, but those updates do wonders for the
tablet's feel -- the round edges have been flattened out and the profile is a
touch slimmer, and this makes a big difference.
2. There's a bigger version, too
If the 8-inch display isn't to your liking, Lenovo also
updated the A10 version of the tablet, which features a 10-inch display. This
one has a somewhat larger price tag at $199 USD, and unfortunately runs Android
4.4 rather than 5.0. It does, however, have more powerful hardware than the
smaller version, including a better processor and extra gig of RAM.
3. It is moderately powerful
The TAB 2 A8 is priced at about $130 USD, and so the price
alone lets consumers know that they're getting a mid-tier tablet. This isn't
something you can connect to an external display and use as a makeshift
desktop, and it isn't going to do some heavy duty data processing. It will,
however, meet your every need if your expectation is to do regular tablet
things: surf the web, play some mobile games, maybe even shirk convention and
snap a couple pics with the rear camera.
