Lenovo TAB 2 A8

“The Tab 2 A8 is a respectable tablet for its asking price of $129. Display brightness and battery life are both above average and sound quality is quite good considering its budget market. Unfortunately, not much else about the device can be praised. We can't help but feel that both its 1 GB RAM and 800p resolution display feel lacking for a tablet in 2015. It's also a little heavier than other 8-inch models and its touchscreen makes a habit of registering inputs incorrectly.”

“With its amazing battery life and bright, colorful screen, Lenovo's Tab 2 A8 does its best to counter the adage of you get what you pay for. It's not as fast as other budget 8-inch tablets, but it lasts much longer on a charge. This may not be a device for gaming or multitasking, but if you're looking for a tablet for Web surfing, listening to music or watching video -- just not all at once -- the $130 Tab 2 is a fine choice.”

“The Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50 is good value at $130. It has a solid build, great sounding stereo speakers, a near stock Android experience, and great battery life. The performance holds it back from greatness, and it should definitely be considered a budget tablet with budget performance.It’s worth considering if you’re looking for a casual use tablet, or as a starter slate for the kids. It even makes a great secondary tablet to leave on the coffee table. However, if you’re looking for a workhorse that can cope with anything without complaint, the Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50 probably isn’t for you.”

“The Lenovo TAB 2 A8 does have a few issues, but its faults are outweighed by the overall experience that the tablet offers. You could easily find a better-looking tablet with far better performance, but do you really need to? The TAB 2 A8 is perfect for casual gaming, web surfing and media consumption. Add in the $119.99 sticker price and the Lenovo TAB 2 A8 easily places in the Top 5 Budget Tablets list of 2015.”
