Lenovo returns to MWC with a slew of new tablets that bring a few nice features a couple interesting accessories and the company's mixture of fun and work in a couple of sizes this is Joshua Vergara what's going on everybody and these are the Lenovo Tab 4 in 8 inch and 10 inch variety before we get started I should mention that there are plus editions of these tablets that trade the textured backing for full on glass panels this is a change that while easy on the eyes is unfortunately not as easy on the hands the Plus versions with about a bit too easily making me wish that the textured material remained throughout regardless of size the differences in performance and hardware are basically traded the same ways the snapdragon 425 powers the original editions while the plus tablets upgrade to the snapdragon 625 2 gigabytes of ram goes up to 4 on the plus and the IPS screens get a resolution bump from 800 P to 1200 P those storage in all cases can be expanded via microSD memory the plus tablets get 64 gigabytes onboard and the originals get 16 or 32 internally the size of the tablet dictates the size of the batteries and both 8 inch tablets have 48 50 million power batteries and the 10.1 inch devices get 7000 million power units all tablets have the Dolby Atmos enhancements for their speaker sets and they sound pretty decent despite lacking in the low-end at least in my short tests and though tablet camera usage is pretty low for the vast majority of users the original tablets put two and five megapixels on the front and back respectively the plus tablets bump those up to 5 and 8 respectively so admittedly that is a bit of a mouthful to remember regarding these tablets but there is a lot to like about these new additions of the Lenovo tabloid the continued move towards specific use case scenarios what you're looking at now is a kid's version of the tablet that gets a bumper case for protection and a kiddos interface that provides only some content to the young user in an inviting leaked cartoonish manner lenovo found in surveys that a growing group of infants and children have access to or even possess their own tablets some people might call that babysitting but to each their own the tablet comes with a cute backing that can be changed to a few other skins everyone else however entertainment and productivity are the main points for entertainment the HD or full HD displays quite good even if they are not exceptional and as mentioned before the dolby atmos enhancements allow for very loud mps and audio for productivity a folding stand and keyboard is available for getting work done and it operates somewhat like a sink pad docking working station using the 10 inch tablet we set it on the stand and it moved into a Productivity mode that moved the soft keys to a taskbar that also houses any recently used applications a little bit like Windows the keyboard feels comfortable enough to type on and the foldability is a very welcome touch overall Lenovo continues to bring a lot to the tablet game a market that even they admit isn't necessarily booming but it has its specific and very worthy use case scenarios as far as price goes the Lenovo cab 4 in 8 inches is going to start out 109 dollars while the Plus edition will be $199 the 10.1 inch Edition is going to be $149 while the plus Edition goes for 249 and all of these tablets are due out in May just in time for some summer fun and usage keep it tuned to Android authority for all of the best here at MWC 2017 in Barcelona Spain remember to subscribe to our channel if you haven't already and then stay tuned for even more because we are your source for all things and WC
