hello I'm the Westway grassina tmobile Congress 2013 we're taking a look at two new 7-inch lenovo tablets so first up is this chap this is the Lenovo a 1000 it is a very basic tablet it's got this 7-inch screen the resolution is 600 x 1024 pixels so it's not looking particularly sharp to be honest it does have a micro SD card slot though so you can bump up the storage which is a nice touch it's got no camera on the back but there is one on the front so you should be able to make video calls something that Lenovo thinks is quite cool about this tablet are these twin speakers on the front and these are Dolby branded the idea is that when you're listening to music you'll get it from two sources so it should sound a little bit better than the usual tinny speakers that you get on tablets or smartphones it's running Android version 4.1 which isn't the latest version but it's quite it's quite recent it's got a dual-core 1.2 gigahertz processor and Lenovo reckons it is going to be cheaper than the nexus 7 first impressions are that this really is quite a simplistic tablet build quality doesn't seem to be too high you see if I apply a little bit of pressure to the back of the tablet you get this screen distortion there which isn't great but if it's cheap enough then you never know it might be a good one for a tablet that you're not really too fussed about losing or maybe even want to give your kids all right next up is this slightly more luxurious 7-inch tablet this is the a3000 so the resolution of this display is the same but it's a different screen technology this is an IPS panel and that means that it looks a lot better than the one on the a1000 colors are crisper everything just looks a little bit more refined unlike the more affordable option at this tablet has the option of 3G so that's good if you want data on the go it's got a quad-core processor as well instead of the dual-core one in the tablet we just looked at it doesn't have the Dolby speakers however for some reason this one despite being a bit more luxurious loses that feature it is going to be more expensive we don't know how much there's no pricing details exactly yet but do expect to pay a little bit more for the slightly more pricey components this also got a rear facing camera as well which is something that the cheaper model doesn't have it's running android version 4.2 which is at the time of speaking a very recent version of google's mobile operating system so both these tablets are going to be coming out later this year as I mentioned there's no word on pricing it unfortunately but when we do get word on pricing will get a clear idea whether or not they have the clout to take on devices like the Nexus 7 or Samsung's recently announced Galaxy Note 8.0 I'm the west or agency nuts and these are some lenovo 7-inch tablets
