Lenovo IdeaTab A2107
Key specs
Critic consensus
“We really want to like the IdeaTab: it's so cheap, and comes with a nice (if heavy) chassis and built-in 3G. But it's so slow, and the screen could be improved. Our advice is to stick with the Nexus 7, even if that means splashing out £239 for a 32GB version with 3G connectivity.”
“While the IdeaTab A2107 is certainly cheap, it's far from cheerful. Its appalling screen, along with its abysmal performance, makes it unpleasant to use for even the most basic of tasks. For only £10 more you can buy the excellent Google Nexus 7, which offers a vastly better experience in every single way.”
“I think Crossy Road's presentation helps quite a bit in that regard, too. It uses this very stylized, blocky, cartoony look that I can't help but love, and there are a lot of characters for you to unlock - from woodland creatures to movie monsters to cameos from other mobile titles.These additional characters are all functionally the same, but it can be pretty funny to hop around as a zombie that literally loses its head when struck, or a celebrity that practically explodes into a cloud of money.Unless you really, really hate games like Frogger, I can't think of a good reason to avoid Crossy Road. It's simple, addictive, and loads of fun. Sort of a perfect storm of mobile game fundamentals.”
“With many budget tablets sporting dual-core processors with a cheaper price tag, we do feel that at Rs 14000, this tablet will have to face the storm out there. But if you are searching for a branded tablet with SIM-based 3G support, a good build quality and decent performance, this one stands out a bit different from the rest.Though the price tag is a bit too high for just a single core packed in, the gain is on the extra internal storage, higher RAM capacity and DUAL SIM 3G option. We could recommend this tablet if you are looking for a product that will last you a longer time, has a good after sales support and definitely the possibility of a Jelly Bean operating system update in the near future. However for the present price, we feel it is a bit too high.”

In Depth
If 10 inches is too big and 4 inches is too small, 7 inches is just right. This is, of course, speaking on the matter of tablet display sizes which is exactly what’s on offer from Lenovo in the IdeaTab A2107. It’s the little brother of the 9-inch screen-equipped IdeaTab A2109 and features a 7-inch 1024×600 touchscreen display, a 1GHz Cortex A9 CPU, 1GB of RAM, and up to 16GB of internal storage.
The A2107 is positioned as an entry-level Android tablet, much like the B&N Nook HD or the Acer Iconia Tab A110. With that said, it still packs a number of noteworthy features, such as a 2-megapixel rear camera, a front-facing VGA camera, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS with A-GPS, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, microUSB connectivity, and a microSD card slot. What’s most interesting about it is the fact that it supports not just one, but two standard-sized SIM cards in its 11mm thin body. It’s a dual-SIM tablet that supports HSDPA data, so users can go online even in the absence of a Wi-Fi network.
With its standard battery, it weighs 400 grams and lasts for up to 10 hours of Wi-Fi surfing per charge (8 hours for 3G). It’s a handy mobile Internet device, for sure. And with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich as the default OS, it’s bound to be useful for multimedia consumption. But the thing is, similarly sized devices from other manufacturers are available either for less money or with richer content ecosystems such as Amazon’s Kindle Fire.
