At the MWC 2017 exhibition, Lenovo presented several promising tablets at once, including the 8-inch Tab 4 8 Plus. The device received a modern filling, good screen resolution - 1920x1200 pixels, stylish appearance... In addition, the tablet is endowed with a fingerprint scanner and a universal port USB Type-C, not without a 4G module. Well, the device turned out to be really curious. But won't the delight of the first impression be replaced by disappointment? Let's figure it out!

Design
The novelty is available in two color variations: "black Aurora" (Aurora Black) and "sparkling white" (Sparking White). This conservatism will certainly appeal to connoisseurs of the classics. The front and back of the case are adorned with glass panels, under which is sturdy aluminum. Such precautions reliably protect the tablet from potential mechanical damage, such as small scratches or cracks. Unfortunately, the reverse side of the coin cannot be avoided: dust and fingerprints are deposited on the case with great speed. Apart from this nuance, we liked the look of the glass device - it is stylish and elegant.The mirrored company logo is placed on the back, which contrasts with its color. In the upper left corner is the main camera. As for the front panel, it also has a minimum of elements - only the front camera. The side frames are quite narrow, the top and bottom are slightly wider to make it convenient to hold the tablet in landscape orientation... The interfaces are relatively evenly spaced on the edges of the case.
Lenovo is positioning this Tablet PC as a device for the whole family. So, each household member will be able to create a personal account, set a password, set the desired settings, choose a desktop wallpaper and set up accounts in social networks. The smallest users were also not deprived of attention: when buying a special Kid’sPackage, parents can give a tablet to their children, without worrying that they will open one of the prohibited sites. The package blocks unwanted content on the web and limits the time you use your tablet. However, the kid has no time to get upset because of the restrictions, because he will have a stylish and bright shock-resistant bumper and funny stickers for him.
We liked not only the appearance of the new item, but also the quality of its assembly. The details fit perfectly, the case does not creak, does not crack when pressed and does not play. The device turned out to be extremely compact and mobile, its dimensions are 211x123x7 mm, weight - 300 g. Due to the sharp corners, the tablet body visually seems larger than it actually is. But this is an illusion, it does not exceed the parameters usual for an 8-inch form factor.
Display, sound and webcam
The 8-inch screen LenovoTab 4 8 Plus has a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels. The display boasts a high brightness and contrast ratio, excellent color reproduction, as a result - a juicy, rich, realistic picture at the output. Capacitive touch screen Supports 10-finger multitouch. The sensor works quickly, quickly responding to commands. FROM iPS matrix you don't have to worry about viewing angles. Indeed, regardless of the angle, the image is not inverted. The display surface is glossy, the oleophobic coating does not cope well with fingerprints. The tablet can be used outdoors: due to a decent margin of brightness (390 cd / m2), even in direct sunlight, the contents of the screen remain readable.
There are one Dolby Atmos stereo speakers at the top and bottom. The tablet does not produce ideal sound, but it is quite enough for listening to music in the background or playing games. The sound is unbalanced, lack of bass is felt. The situation gets better if you plug in headphones.
The tablet has two cameras. The front camera with a resolution of 5 megapixels can take selfies, it is also suitable for video communication, say, via Skype. The main camera of 8 megapixels with autofocus is suitable for taking pictures. But do not make grandiose plans: the detail of photos is lame, and with the onset of dusk, sharpness decreases, noise appears.
Keyboard
The docking keyboard of LenovoTab 4 8 Plus is not even available as an option, so the user will have to get by with the built-in one. Moreover, it has a simple and intuitive interface, familiar to everyone who has ever dealt with Android. The keyboard makes prompts to speed up typing, it has rather large keys that are easy to hit. If you want, you can change the style, color, change layouts, enable vibration feedback and use many other useful functions provided by the system.At the bottom of the display, there are three touch buttons: "Back", "Home" and "Menu".

Design and ergonomics
Lenovo TAB4 8 Plus is available in two colors - black and white - and two modifications: with and without LTE. I have a version without a communication module in black, but I arrived as a bonus, which can be used as a stand. I highly recommend buying, especially if you plan to give a tablet to your child.
Add. a photo
The device is delivered in a colorful box. Minimum set: uSB cable Type-C, power supply and waste paper.
The tablet looks impressive and expensive, thanks to the metal side frames and the back panel, covered with glass. The latter successfully acts as a mirror. You can admire yourself in it, you can immortalize a dozen fingerprints on it in one session of using the tablet. Fortunately, the glass is durable and not a single scratch has yet appeared on it.
The top and bottom panels of the tablet look like metal, to match the sides, but in fact they are ordinary gray plastic. Probably, this solution was used to improve the quality of signal transmission for communication modules.
The fingerprint scanner is located on the right side under the volume buttons, a bit like the approach Sony Xperia... Fires in a split second, after which the profile is loaded current user... That is, if a child picks up the tablet, he will have access to his own, configured by parents, a desktop and a limited set of applications. 
For an 8-inch device, the Lenovo TAB4 8 Plus is perfectly balanced. The bezels around the screen are large enough to provide a comfortable grip for extended use. The tablet won't fit in a pants pocket, but it will feel good in a coat pocket, winter jacket, or women's bag.
The arrangement of the control elements on the body is generally familiar. All buttons are on the right side. The memory card slot is on the left. 
An interesting element of the Lenovo TAB4 8 Plus is a pair of stereo speakers located on the front panel below and above the display. 
Play loudly and cleanly, do not overlap with hands while working. You can customize the sound using the Dolby Atmos utility.
Screen
The 8-inch IPS-matrix of the tablet produces a more than adequate picture in FullHD resolution. The viewing angles are wide (although it could have been better, given the cost), there is no graininess or blockages in color rendition.
The stock of brightness allows you to work with the tablet outdoors, automatic adjustment works quickly. There is a complaint about manual adjustment. The first 30% of the band does not shift the brightness from the minimum value at all. Most likely this is a software jamb that will be corrected in the update.
The manufacturer has provided the ability to activate the screen by double tapping with your finger. But the delay with which this happens is about a couple of seconds, so it is usually easier to reach the lock button.
Cameras
Hardly anyone other than iPad owners thinks of photographing something on a tablet. Nevertheless, Lenovo TAB4 8 Plus provides quite good opportunities for this.The main 8 megapixel photo module with autofocus allows you to get good shots in the daytime. Pay attention to the photos in the examples, neither of them you can easily see the numbers of the cars and some small details. A flash is provided for shooting indoors or at night. 
More examples
Sample photos in full resolution are available.
The shooting quality of the front 5 megapixel camera is average, but it will do for video calls.
Iron
The hardware of the tablet is good average. The eight-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 operates at a frequency of up to 2 GHz paired with the Adreno 506 video accelerator. The well-proven tandem provides excellent performance in games and resource-intensive tasks.Benchmark results
The chip practically does not heat up, so the tablet can be used long time without feeling of discomfort. Promotes comfortable work and 4 GB of RAM. As I have already mentioned in my previous materials, I see absolutely no point in a larger volume. Switching between applications is fast, and the software itself can run in the background for a long time.
Drivers often use tablets to navigate on the road. GPS in Lenovo TAB4 8 Plus starts about 10 seconds if it is "helped" by an active Internet connection and about 25-30 if you have to rely only on the power of the chip. Alas, I do not have a car, therefore I can only judge the accuracy by observing the measurements while walking. Sometimes the signal flips and can show that I am not walking on the sidewalk, but on the roadway. But I did not notice any serious deviations from the norm.
The "iron" filling of the tablet meets the needs of the end of 2017, there is hardly a task that will be too tough for him. By the way, the device even has a radio! It's funny for you, but I really missed it in my smartphone.
Software
The tablet works under android 7.1.1 with a proprietary Lenovo shell and utilities from the manufacturer: SyncIT and ShareIT. The first helps to create backups content on a schedule, the second is to send tablet content (including applications) to other mobile devices or PCs.Interface screenshots
In addition to standard applications, a complete set of Microsoft software is available: Skype, Office, OneNote. Let it be software garbage for me, tk. I prefer alternatives, but for those who regularly work with documents - such a set should be a nice bonus.
The most interesting part of Lenovo TAB4 8 Plus software is voice assistant Alexa from Amazon. The Alexa app can search for information on the Internet, execute simple commands and make purchases on Amazon. You can play with it: ask to tell a joke or even a love story.
“Alexa” speaks so far only in English and German, and in order to buy goods using voice commands need paid account Amazon Prime.
The localization of the interface itself is complete, the translation is high-quality and without errors.
Autonomy
The 4850 mAh battery does not seem impressive, some smartphones can be found with a similar capacity. Nevertheless, the energy-efficient chip and the refined software allow Lenovo TAB4 8 Plus to work on a single charge for 1.5-2 days of active use with 6-8 hours of active display.conclusions
Lenovo TAB4 8 Plus is a small multimedia harvester that is a pleasure to carry with you. He has great speakers high quality screen, there is a possibility convenient setting for multiple owners thanks to the fingerprint scanner.Of the tangible shortcomings, we can single out the not very practical back panel and the still open question with getting the latest software from Google.

VerdictLenovo Tab 4 8 - Offers great value for money, along with great battery life, decent performance and a bright screen for just $ 9,000. Lenovo Tab 4 8 review next ...
- pros: Battery life | Performance | Screen;
- Minuses: Front-camera could be better;
Well suited for multimedia consumption and light productivity, the 8-inch Lenovo Tab 4 8 offers long battery life and smooth performance at a decent price point. Unlike its rival, the new Tab 4 8 offers a full Android operating system with a full selection of Google apps.
Design: Regular
Measuring 210.8 x 124.4 x 7.6 mm, the tablet weighs 318 grams, and the design of the Lenovo Tab 4 8 remains without frills. Its back is covered in a smooth charcoal texture that gives the Tab 4 8 an almost velvety feel, while the bronze-gray plastic side grilles provide a firm grip. The bezels are moderately sized, with a 2MP front-facing camera at the top, while a 5MP sensor on the back.
The Lenovo Tab 4 8 has dual speakers located on the top and bottom edges. On the side you will find a place for the charging port ( Micro USB), A 3.5mm headphone jack, and an unassuming microSD slot hidden under a cover on the left side. On the right side of the Tab 4 8 are the volume and power buttons.
Display: Perfect for the price
The Lenovo Tab 4 8's 1280 x 800 display is more than suitable for surfing the web, playing games and watching videos. Colors aren't the brightest when compared to premium tablets, but they do look much better than the competition in this price range. Checking out the new trailers in our roundup, the Lenovo Tab 4 8 lacked sharpness for complex special effects. Despite this, the panel was still able to show small details, such as individual hairs on the characters.
According to our colorimeter, the Tab 4 8's display reproduces 89.5 percent of the sRGB color gamut. The rate is higher than what was suggested (87 percent) and Amazon Fire HD 8 (79 percent). Although the display of the Lenovo Tab 4 8 is not as color accurate as the category average of 97.39%, we found it acceptable enough for watching YouTube videos.
Compared to similarly priced competitors, the Lenovo Tab 4 8 offers a high brightness of 429 nits. This score is surprisingly higher than the Lenovo Tab 4 10 (307 nits) and Amazon Fire HD 8 (380 nits), as well as the category average (392 nits). offers 470 nits, but it also costs twice as much, so Lenovo's achievement is impressive.
Sound: IncludesAtmos
With two Dolby Atmos stereo speakers on the top and bottom edges of the tablet, the Lenovo Tab 4 8 plays enough loud noise... While listening to music, the tablet showed legible bass and vocals with subtle distortion. The volume is sufficient for playback in a small conference room. Tab 4 8 comes pre-installed software Dolby, so you can tweak the sound to your liking, which we love. Reliable application.
At the very bottom of the Lenovo Tab 4 is a built-in microphone. If you are filming a video or recording a calendar message, make sure the microphone of an inexpensive tablet is pointing correctly, which may require you to turn the tablet upside down for the best audio capture. We tried taking a few short voice memos to see how the tablet works with sound and were happy.
Performance: Decent
With a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 processor and 2GB of RAM, Lenovo Tablet delivers reliable speed for most of your media needs. We could surf the Internet, use apps social networks and play Candy Crush. Netflix app ran smoothly, even with 10 tabs open in Google chrome.
The Lenovo Tab 4 8 scored 1,847 points in the Geekbench 4 app, a test that measures overall performance. This score is not as good as the 1891 Lenovo Tab 4 10 or the category average (3162), but it is much better than the 1785 Amazon Fire HD 8.
Lenovo's 8-inch tablet also scored 6029 points on the Ice Storm Unlimited graphics test, which measures graphics performance. This result is better than the Amazon Fire HD 8 (6015), but only by a small margin. The Lenovo Tab 4 10 scored 6,112 points, which is slightly better, although the category average of 13,842 points easily crosses Lenovo's performance. But note that we are talking about a tablet that costs about 10,000 rubles.
Battery Life: Quite good!
The Lenovo Tab 4 8 may not be the longest-playing tablet on the market, but it does offer decent endurance. On battery tests, it lasted 10 hours and 7 minutes (continuous web surfing at 150 nits), beating the category average of 9 hours and 56 minutes.
However, the Lenovo Tab 4 10 lasted significantly longer, namely 11 hours and 17 minutes, while the Amazon Fire HD 8 lasted 10 hours and 58 minutes.
Interface and software
Lenovo's 4th Tab runs Android 7.1 Nougat and comes pre-installed google apps and virtual keyboard Google Gboard. One of the features that we found very useful is the Nougat split screen, which allows us to check email in the application while continuing to work with the web browser.
The interface is characterized by simplicity and the standard navigation buttons located at the bottom of the screen: Back, Home, Multitasking. Right above the Home button is the Application Manager, which allows you to see all the applications installed on the Lenovo Tab 4 8. At the top of the screen is a search button that works with Google Chrome or "Ok Google!"
The 8-inch Lenovo Tab 4 comes with some pre-installed apps, including Microsoft Office and Lenovo SHAREit. These apps transfer files to other devices using Wi-Fi, proving that a tablet can be useful at work. There is also a SYNCit app that combines your contacts, SMS messages and photos.
Cameras: Yes
Cameras on lenovo tablet not the best, but they are much better than what other tablets offer for this price. The main camera has 5 megapixels and takes relatively clear pictures, while the 2 megapixel front camera is very blurry. Combined, the specs return grainy and wobbly videos.
The colors were also not saturated enough, for example, the skin has a gray tint and looks painful. And while the tablet is not the best choice for photography, it can handle Skype video call.
Configurations
The Lenovo Tab 4 8 16GB (TB-8504F) model comes with 2GB of RAM and a price tag of around RUR 9,000. There is also a Lenovo Tab 4 8 32GB, as well as a "Plus" version with a built-in fingerprint scanner. The Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus also comes in 16GB and 64GB configurations, but the price of the tablet is significantly higher, it has cameras with better resolution (Front: 5MP | Rear: 8MP), but its price tag exceeds 15,000 rubles.
For about 12,000 rubles, you can choose the Lenovo Tab 4 10, which takes pride of place in 2017, offers similar specifications as the Tab 4 8, but with a larger screen. There is also a model that reaches 20,000 rubles. All configurations in the Lenovo Tab 4 series are equipped with slots for expanding storage up to 256GB, which should be taken into account when choosing a tablet model.

Hello friends, I'm in full swing preparing for long departures, my work is connected with a computer and it requires a very productive one. Therefore, the most suitable and budgetary option for myself at the moment I chose the opportunity to work remotely with home computer, through a tablet, buying a good laptop is now very expensive. It is worth noting that initially I somewhat doubted the primacy of this acquisition, but in view of the fact that the tablet will most likely still be necessary for me, I decided.
Photo from behind. 
Lenovo Tab4 is a premium 8-inch tablet for a friendly family - this is how the tablet is positioned by Lenovo itself. I will share with you my personal impression of this tablet, after about a month of use.

Sleek, lightweight, thin (7.7mm edge thickness and 7.4mm. The tablet itself), these words can really describe this tablet. This is an inexpensive, mid-range tablet that runs on android base 7.1.1 version. In general, the Tab4 line of tablets includes both 8 "and 10" models, both of which are available in Plus configurations with improved components, in my case it is 8 "in Plus configuration. And that's 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, which is decent for its price tag.
Some characteristics of Antutu software. 
Box appearance. 
A very nice, tough box in which a neatly packed tablet comes, inside, besides the device itself, there are several brief instructions with pictures, for example, how to install a flash microSD card and a few more not particularly interesting pieces of paper in Chinese. In addition, branded charger with a Chinese plug, - 5.2V, 2A and a solid, soft type-C cable. Actually everything you need is there, nothing else is needed.
Complete charger, work in a network from 100V. 
The Tab4 is really cool and stylish looking. According to the manufacturer, the tablet is as durable as possible, thanks to its double protective glasswhich prevents the formation of scratches and cracks.
You can and how to use the "mirror". 
I would like to note that there is really no reason to doubt the quality of the glass; for more than a month of active use, I could not find at least small micro-scratches, my other devices, at the moment, could not avoid this. Really decent coverage.
Another big plus is a slightly protruding side, insignificantly, only 0.15mm from each edge, relative to the plane of the tablet itself, this is almost not felt, but it allows the tablet to not touch the screen and the back panel when you put it on a flat surface, and this is significant reduces the likelihood of scratches during operation.
Can be seen in this photo as a dark stripe. 
In addition, the screen is very pleasant to work with and does not cause any uncomfortable impressions. By the way, multitouch is here for 10 touches.
Multi-touch, 10 touches. 
It is convenient to hold the tablet, there are no problems, but I would not recommend taking it by the edge with one hand, the tablet is thin, and if you take it not very securely, it will slide out, tk. both sides are perfectly smooth.
Volume rocker, on / off and it is also a fingerprint sensor. 
The ends of the tablet are made of metal. On one side there is an on / off button, which is also a fingerprint scanner. Nearby is a volume rocker. And on the opposite side, there is a tray for a memory card with a dummy, which I must say holds there, oh, how well ...
On the front panel, in addition to the camera and sensors, there is also an event indicator.
On the sides are 2 stereo speakers with support for Dolby Atmos technology. The thing is interesting, you can play around with the settings, by the way, the demo video in the application is really cool.
Camera and event indicator. 
The design of the tablet is thought out in such a way that when you hold the tablet with 2 hands, the speaker outputs do not close, while the speakers themselves seem to be turned towards you. Very cool implementation. And the volume reserve is more than enough, usually I use the volume from 50 to 70%, and when the kettle boils in the kitchen, the volume is enough to still hear everything perfectly, with no wheezing and a very high-quality sound.
The speakers are not covered by hands. 
The speakers are angled forward. 
But there is also a small drawback, the fact is that the microphone is located on back side from below, and since I'm used to holding the tablet by the lower corners, then I just close it periodically. This is noticeable when using video recording on a tablet with the main camera, which, in fairness, I must say that I used only once, to test it purely.
Microphone location. 
But if you use a tablet, for example, for video communication and unfold it the other way around, so that the front camera is located in the upper side of the screen, then the microphone is free from any clamping, which is probably more logical in the format of using a tablet, and now everything falls into place.
I almost forgot that the tablet also has a 3.5mm output for standard headphones, you don't have to be smart and no adapters are needed.

The IPS FHD (1920 * 1200) display delivers crisp, rich images and makes the tablet an ideal device for watching videos, as I mostly use it.
The Snapdragon 625 processor, which is 8 cores up to 2Ghz, the Adreno 506 graphics processor and 4GB of RAM in total give us almost 63 thousand points according to the Antutu Benchmark test.
62811 Antutu points. 
I tested the tablet in 2 games, these are WoT: Blitz and Lineage II: Revolution.
Tanks run at maximum settings of 60 frames per second without the slightest lags, but the noticeably heavier Lineage feels good on medium. It is possible at maximum, but fps is not the same, frames 15-20, for me this is not enough.
WoT: Blitz 
Lineage at medium, to be honest, the game does not even feel that the quality is not maximum. 
The battery keeps decent, about 6-7 hours of games or 2-3 days of relatively active use, a couple of hours of video a day, and a little surfing and social networks.
Active use (game about 5 hours) and normal use. 
And now a little about the standard software, the tablet has the most convenient file manager, which is several times more comfortable than the same ES Explorer, and allows you to easily transfer files to shared folder networks, as well as, for example, watch video from a computer.

In addition, I would like to note the possibility of creating a multiuser interface from the significant ones. the tablet, as mentioned at the beginning, is positioned as a gadget for the whole family, then this opportunity, in my opinion, is very interesting and will be convenient for those who need it. Because I mainly use one, I did not need it.
The fingerprint scanner works well, there are no complaints about it, but I turned it off anyway. I never use this function anywhere.
WiFi is dual band and works great at both 2.4 and 5.8Ghz.
There are no complaints about the work of GPS, I launched the application and you already see where you are, the first start, of course, you need to understand that it took longer.
While driving. 
As for cameras, many tablet users hardly use their devices to take pictures and take pictures. In my opinion, this is not the most popular path of these devices, but nevertheless, solid 8 and 5-megapixel photo modules are responsible for the photographic abilities of the gadget, which take good pictures in the daytime. There is also a flash for shooting in low light. The front camera is also okay.

Conclusions:
I chose Lenovo Tab4 Plus, because for me at the time of purchase it was one of the most successful options, the main purpose of which is to watch video and use it to work by remotely accessing your computer. In this, in comparison with the phone, the tablet turned out to be much ahead, and with the connected keyboard and mouse it is already comparable to a small laptop, and in terms of compactness it surpasses it, the FHD resolution is of great help for me here. Definitely, now for me on trips, he is significantly better alternative and replacing a laptop (I always work remotely from a stationary home). And at home it is a convenient option for watching videos while lying on the couch or sitting at the dining table.Pros I noted:
- Stylish design
- Good stereo speakers with decent volume headroom
- The productive filling is sufficient not only for work, but you can also play.
- A decent stock of both RAM and ROM, expandable with a memory card
- Wonderful, juicy FHD screen
- Convenient pre-installed file manager
Of the minuses, I can note:
- The tablet is completely glossy, so it has a slightly soiled surface, although it can be easily wiped
- Slippery
- There is no SIM card slot (in some versions there is)
