Lenovo Tab 4 Plus

Advantages: Pretty smart tablet. Applications do not hang. Good performance when playing video. Not a bad sound from the built-in speakers. 64 GB of memory is enough for everything. Very sensitive GPS. In flight on the Sukhoi SuperJet 100 saw all satellites through the roof. Quick charge. Problems with pre-installed Yandex applications are solved simply - demolished and installed in a new way. It all worked.

Disadvantages: Trouble with external SD memory cards! Not for the first time, I notice that no Lenovo tablet with an SD memory card is friendly. Each time the tablet is connected (disconnected) to the PC, the software is updated, and sometimes even when charging is connected, the memory card falls off. It is necessary to reformat every time. And the manufacturer of the card, its size and class do not matter. The manufacturer knows this problem, but does not solve it.
Not very "confident" button on the tablet, it is also a fingerprint sensor. Dangling under the finger of that look - it will break.
An unexpected problem popped up when headphones were connected. With TDK headphones (earplugs) with an aluminum connector body, the tablet “went wild”: the volume spontaneously went back and forth. Explicit "breakdown" of the current on the case. When you turn on the usual plastic headphones sometimes the tablet does not recognize them. Sound comes from both headphones and speakers. In the subway a couple of times it was awkward in front of neighbors. Only restarting the tablet helps.
Noticed a hang while watching a streaming video on YuoTube. The picture comes with a twitch. On Yandex Video, however, this was not. Maybe the problem was in the video itself.
Well, yes, and slippery back panel. Rescued branded "rubber" case.

Comment: In general, the tablet is satisfied. I took to replace a similar-sized Huawei (he had an ugly GPS). There were, however, better tablets. For example, Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact. Also eight inches. That tablet had no flaws other than the internal memory of 16 GB. With the transition to Android 6.0, it sorely lacked anything. Yes! Even with Sony, after a couple of years of use, the plug from the charging port flew off.
The new tablet seems to have no such problem. However, Lenovo has more work to do. First of all, over the support of external SD cards.

Advantages: Very smart, nice screen, fingerprint scanner, the latest version of Android.the back cover looks like a glass one, I was afraid of the device being too fragile, but in practice it looks pretty strong and pleasantly assembled.

Disadvantages: Strange alerts from the mobile network, which come even when there is no SIM card and which could not be turned off. It was impossible to configure user rights restrictions - this was an unexpected surprise, since The tablet was bought by a child. It really has a "child mode" with a bunch of restrictions, but the developers have a strange notion of child mode - a strange interface, a strange selection of applications, parental control is strangely implemented - designed for an audience of four to five years, not more.

Comment: General impressions are extremely pleasant, the purchase was very successful. The "disadvantages" column is my local Wishlist, except for spam alerts.

Advantages: The screen is juicy, the sound is excellent, the battery holds nicely in the hand, it reacts instantly, it does not heat up, the price for such a sophisticated device is 64 GB of memory and much more ...

Disadvantages: The problem with SMS is solved by the latest update. No cons found.

Comment: I am very pleased with the purchase of this tablet. The screen is juicy and does not hurt the eyes, pleasant color rendition, as well as excellent sound. An excellent battery that is in active use of the tablet from the very morning until late at night when watching videos, playing games, surfing the Internet, downloading and installing programs, watching videos, etc. In the morning 7.00 and in the evening 23.00, from 100% fell to 20% - it seems to me just an excellent indicator with active use. It responds well to tactile and pleasantly in the hand.
I managed to buy a tablet at a very good discount in a well-known online store. Before shopping, I thought for a long time and looked for a suitable option. Such functionality at such a price - there is no alternative. And overpaying at times more for the same only under a different brand, I am not ready.
Very pleased with the purchase despite the problem with SMS, which then come, but they do not come. I hope this problem will soon be cured.

Advantages: Bright juicy FullHD screen format 16:10, the balance of colors is normal. Viewing angles are more than sufficient. For movies just super. Olephobic coating is.
The tablet is very smart, responsive touch.
HOW-FREE fingerprint scanner, did not expect. I read about the complaints that it does not work well, I do not agree at the root. At least the copy clearly recognizes the fingers.
Thin, without a cover will not be familiar.
The sound is balanced, the speakers are very cleverly located, as if you do not hold the tablet, it is difficult to block them. Those who do not know in advance whether there is support for aptx will decide what is. But it is not, and the sound is gorgeous thanks to Bluetooth 4.2. Listened in headphones Sony MDR-1ABT.
The body is perfectly shot down, a good monolith turned out.
The latest firmware unlocked a 40 MHz channel width for WiFi 2.4 Ghz, for a total connection speed increased to 150 Mbit.

Disadvantages: Slippery, not that it is easy to drop, just to use it is very inconvenient to use.
Until the hall sensor is turned off. When using a branded case (which does not provide for fixing the hinged cover), the screen can often turn on.
Also, the color temperature setting is not implemented for you. Most brands have this for a long time. And here it is not.

Comment: I needed a tablet mainly for watching “heavy” movies from the NAS NAS (requirements for comfortable viewing: 5-6 megabytes per second, these are 1.5-2 hour movies weighing 35-45 gigabytes each). To do this, you need WIFI exclusively with the support of the “AU” mode, since the “N” mode with 5 GHz (40 MHz) and MIMO support is extremely rare (I saw one Samsung, but there is no 4: 3 screen for movies). Having studied the market, it turned out that this model is the only one that suited me. But there is a nuance, according to SAMBA, the speed of a download is up to 3 megabytes per second. There are no problems with FTP, up to 26 megabytes. Rescued the player KODI. He can play any video on any protocol.
At the tablet WiFi antenna is located in the area of ​​connectors for the SIM card and SD cards.I noticed that when you place the tablet as it is most convenient (with the up buttons), the reception worsens a lot, it is especially felt at 5 GHz. Turning over the tablet, the reception improves dramatically, especially if you put the tablet on the body. Because of this, it is preferable to use a branded case, since with it it is possible to put the tablet both with the buttons up and down.

Advantages: -Good screen
- A good choice of processor (for the latest models of tablets - a rarity)
-Loud speaker
-Good autonomy
-Flash without garbage
-Support lte

Disadvantages: -Slip body, it is desirable to order a case
-No fast charge
-High price due to lack of competitors

Comment: Replaced your Nexus 7 (2013) with this tablet, Lenovo is very pleased, pure Android and normal hardware. The tablet took mainly under surfing, books, youtube and under simple toys. I really like the autonomy, the device in general turned out to be thoughtful. 64gb of memory, 4 operational, Sapdragon 625 - for the tablet is very worthy of iron, android competitors - no, even considering the high price in Russia,
MiPad 3 - frank failure. Samsung and Huawei are more expensive and weaker both in terms of hardware and firmware optimization, and they are very sinful in their garbage.
The main camera is not tested, it is here for show. Frontal perfectly enough for video calls. To the dimensions of the device used for a week. If it will be custom - it will be in general super. For those who are not looking for a large tablet for 2-3 years, I advise you to pay attention to this model.

Advantages: + The optimal size (for me) on the road
+ Design (without stupid inscriptions and logos on the front side). + Symmetrical frames and on-screen buttons allow you to expand as conveniently without visual discomfort
+ Light weight
+ Build quality
+ High image quality
+ High performance (not tested on games) and memory size. You can keep many applications open.
+ Fingerprint sensor at the end. Works without any complaints.
+ Good (no more) sound with real stereo from the built-in loudspeakers.
+ Decent sound in wired headphones (mostly listening via BT)
+ Quickly find and connect using BT
+ Stable communication over LTE and WLAN (of course, in my conditions)
+ USB-c
+ All electrical connectors at one end
+ Just a bit of pre-installed garbage.

Disadvantages: - Very slippery back surface. Without a cover to use uncomfortable and unsafe.
- High impedance headphones do not pull.
- Missing NFC.
- There is no fast charging mode.
- There are problems with the use of memory cards for the expansion of the built-in

Comment: Faced with the unpleasant fact - it is impossible to use a Samsung EVO Plus 64 GB memory card to expand the internal memory. When formatting reports an error.
But overall, Lenovo was pleasantly surprised! Bought, because existing Dell Venue Pro 10 is too big and I wanted to experience Android.
