Lenovo Launches 5 Budget-Minded Tablets

UWhile Android tablets in general seem to be dying, a few companies still see value in launching new ones. Recently, Samsung took the wraps off of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4. Now, it’s Lenovo’s turn — with the new Lenovo Tab E7, Lenovo Tab E8, Lenovo Tab E10, Lenovo Tab M10, and Lenovo Tab P10.

Lenovo has made official five budget Android tablets, with a price starting as low as $69.99. The Android tablets come in different configurations, targeting different needs. Lenovo has announced the E7, E8, E10, P10, and M10 tablets, with most of them being made available in October. Most of them run on Android 8.1 Oreo and Android 8.1 Oreo (Go Edition), and out of the five tablets, the Lenovo E8 has been made available immediately in the US market.

Starting with the most affordable Lenovo E7tablet, this $69.99. priced variant runs on Android Oreo (Go Edition), and has a 7.3-inch touchscreen LCD display with 1024x600 pixel resolution. It is powered by the MediaTek MT8167 SoC and packs 1GB of RAM. Internal storage is at 16GB with microSD card slot support for further expansion. At the front, the Lenocvo E7 sports a 0.3-megapixel display, and a 2-megapixel sensor at the back. It packs a 2,750mAh battery which claims to offer 5 hours of video playback. The Lenovo E7will be made available exclusively at Walmart starting October.

The Lenovo E8 stands out of the bunch, not because it has a $99 price tag, but because it runs on Android Nougat and that it is made available immediately at Walmart. It sports an 8-inch (1200x800 pixels) IPS LCD display, and is powered by the Mediatek MT8163B processor paired with 1GB RAM. It offers 16GB storage with further expansion capabilities through a microSD slot. There's a 5-megapixel camera at the back, and a 2-megapixel camera in the front as well. It packs a 4,850mAh battery claiming to offer 10 hours of video playback, and supports a single Dolby Atmos speaker in the front.
