The Lenovo Tab 4 8-inch tablet has received positive reviews for its budget friendly price, its lack of bloatware, its good display albeit only 1280×800 and its surprisingly good performance, even though it has a Snapdragon 425. Users also thought that the battery life is great, finding that it easily gets them through the day. However, some thought that the power button, which is located in the middle of the side of the tablet, is a bit annoying and others were disappointed that it did not have USB-C. Some also thought that the 16GB of storage is pretty slim, especially since the OS system files occupy around half of that space. Lastly, some thought the speakers were far too soft. The Lenovo Tab 4 is an affordable companion that put out a commendable performance, but you will need to get additional storage since the onboard storage is limited.
Pros
- Budget friendly price
- Great display
- Reliable performance
- Minimal bloatware
- Good at multitasking
Cons
- Odd power button placement
- No USB-C
- 16GB of storage is underwhelming
- Speakers are soft
Bottom Line
The 2017 Lenova Tab 4 8-inch tablet is by no means a workhorse, but it puts up a reliable performance for the price, but be prepared to purchase a microSD card if you value storage space.
