Lenovo TAB 2 A10-70L 16Gb

Advantages: Regarding the competitors on the characteristics of inexpensive. For a tablet, a good sound. A nice screen, except that it is very easily soiled.

Disadvantages: For such a price is all tolerated.

Comment: The purpose of my review is not to describe the advantages and disadvantages of the tablet, but to report a possible problem arising in the process of using the tablet, because after the occurrence of the problem described below, I could not find solutions on the Internet Regarding the feedback, there is a lot of information in the previous reviews and most agree with them. Now, a problem that occurs quite often with tablet users of almost any manufacturer: One and a half months after buying a tablet, I accidentally connected it with a portable speaker (works from the built-in battery), which I periodically use as a charger, causing the tablet to turn off and showed no signs of life. After that, I tried to use HARD RESET for a long time, scooping up information from the Internet, but my attempts did not lead to a result. But the meaning of the problem most likely lay in the fact that when trying to charge the tablet with non-native charging, information about charging was reflected on the screen, but in fact the battery continued to sit down and sat down to zero, after which the so-called power controller prevented switching on. The only way out was to disconnect the battery for a while and connect it back, but on this model the battery cannot be removed. I decided to take it under warranty to the service, but after reading reviews about Lenovo's official services in Rostov-on-Don (there are 3 in them), it became scary for my property, after which I decided to try opening the tablet myself, considering that there are no seals on the case not. Not for a long time, without any tools, the tablet was neatly opened, the power cable was disconnected and after a while connected back, and lo and behold, the tablet worked. I quickly assembled it, without damaging any seals, and a single scratch, and continue to use it. I'm afraid to imagine how many nerves would have had to spend handing over the tablet to the warranty service, and it is not known what the consequences were after possible repairs. DO NOT CONNECT TO TECHNICS NOT NATIVE CHARGES !!!)))

Advantages: Great screen for your money
Good battery
Tele2 in Moscow catches excellent 4g
Excellent speed (4.4)
Quick start navigation, much faster than lg g2
Price (purchased for 15,000)

Disadvantages: Poor display coverage, almost immediately in prints
Weak wi-fi reception
Low sound quality in headphones
Weak cameras
No light sensor
Again, in general, for such a price, disadvantages can be tolerated.

Comment: I have been using this tablet for a little more than six months, so I have something to tell. I will compare with ipad 3 and my lg g2. I think the most important advantage is the screen. It has a good matrix, wide viewing angles and excellent resolution. At the same time, the overall picture spoils the poor quality of the coating, on which prints remain permanently. Of course, the quality screen loses to the iPad, but in this price category it has practically no competitors. Next, I would like to mention a good battery, on average with my mode (20 minutes of navigation, wi-fi turned on all the time, 2 hours 4g of the Internet, chatting all day on vibe / vk, reading books) lasts almost 2 days. I would like to note a good performance, I don’t play games especially, but for the sake of interest I downloaded wot, nothing slows down and the overall impression of the game is almost the same as on lg g2. The interface is also fast, but if we talk about firmware 4.4. With the update to 5.0, this tablet became an order of magnitude worse: the batteries lasted for 1.5 days, the speed of work fell sharply, the front camera started to green. (It was stitching correctly and resetting the settings, nothing helped). After such nightmares I switched back to 4.4 and everything fell into place. Now even more new firmware has been released on 5.0, in which, judging by the reviews, all the jambs have been fixed, but I personally think that the best enemy is good, so for now I'm sitting on 4.4. What upset is the weak Wi fi. Where ipad and lg g2 show 2 sticks, lenovo is already starting to cut off the Internet. Another frustration was the sound. Both from the speakers and from the headphones (and therefore aux). He loses both lg and ipad and 5 iPhones. Praised Dolby is only PR, unfortunately. What is good is good navigation. The speed of the cold start is between 5 iPhones and lg g2, taking about 20-30 seconds. The cameras are expectedly weak, but the front one is enough for 100 for skype, and the rear one can quite sfotkat text. The light sensor would not hurt either. The result is this: at a given price of 5/5.

Advantages: 4G, 2GB of RAM, display, sensor, performance

Disadvantages: Volume, no phone mode.

Comment: Purchased after a long search and hesitation. In the final version was chosen from three who liked: this, bb-mobile Topol 863 and Onda v919. The poplar is good, but too small, Onda is gorgeous, but in an ideal configuration is too expensive (32,000) and this one remains. To some, judging by the reviews, I got an imperfect build, everything is fine with me, fitting and stuff is super. The screen is very comfortable, bright and juicy with perfect viewing angles. The network takes and holds with a bang. In a word, super, but .... Speakers. The quality is excellent, but the volume is not enough. It is necessary to try experiments with the engineering menu. I got one small marriage, namely, in the settings of the SIM card, you can set the color of the network icon, so it does not work for me, it is stable one, trifle, and therefore did not suffer. 4 set because of the sound. In general, if you need a good screen, 4G and 2GB of RAM (these criteria were important for me), if not the best, then one of up to 20,000. Recommend. I add a comment after two days of experiments. For those who, like me, are dissatisfied with the loudness of the speakers, the problem is solved using the engineering menu, which is downloaded to the Play market. Another addition: after two cycles of full discharge / charging in active mode with constant load, he worked for 13.5 hours; in the mode of sparing work (without shutdown and energy saving) the battery lasted for 18 hours.

Advantages: With a price of up to 18k:
Performance (everything flies)
Screen (ips itself, but coverage in the minuses)
LTE, Wi-Fi, battery. Everything is on the level.

Disadvantages: Ponty with sound (he is normal, no Dolby)
No flash,
Screen cover (I wrap sandwiches more reliably than film)

Comment: I use it for a week, so I’ll update my first impression so far, in a week.

On assembly: it is assembled solidly, nothing backlash and creaks, I don’t know where many problems come from, a good case and the device turns into a monolith. The back of the really perishing in the center, but in the case unnoticed. A bit heavy.

Performance: updates immediately (5.0.1), then rolled back to factory settings - everything works fine, no glitches. Digests up to 15 tabs in chrome + office + a bunch of any other garbage, switching between applications is instant. In the evening, not to drive asphalt 8 - no brakes.

Screen: Bright, juicy, everything is visible in the sun, but it is covered with some kind of plastic, it is dirty very unreliable - it is solved with a film. The resolution is more than decent, everything is clear and smooth. Adjusting the brightness is just ridiculous, you can say no to it.

Sound: The volume is enough to watch the video in the car with the windows open while driving through the KAD. But the Dolby nameplate could have been removed from the speakers: I expect something special, and here it's just a normal and moderately loud sound.

Communication modules: Wi-Fi and 4g connects instantly, no cliffs. Navigator notes on the map in about 30-40 seconds after turning on the GPS.

Battery: First charge of 14 hours! Then everything became normal: 2-3 hours. Internet is always on, hours 2 gps, 4-5 hours chrome + editing documents in the office. In the morning 45 minutes of the series, in the evening an hour of play in asphalt 8. + all sorts of small applications during the day. Everything is at maximum brightness. As a result, it remains 5-15%.

Camera: You can take a picture of a document, and then you can make out the small print on it, no more. So normal, not good and not bad. But the lack of flash - really cant.

Bottom line: A quality tablet for the average market price of 16k (I ​​have a gray eurotest). Performance level. Battery too. Pumped up only the cover of the screen, the lack of flash and Ponte with sound. In terms of price / quality ratio: 8 out of 10 - very worthy! I think up to 18k is better not to find.

Advantages: Juicy clear display, 10-inch diagonal, loud, surround sound, light, smart, support for almost everything that is possible, a sim card, a USB flash drive, and so on. Good price considering the course. Very good cameras.

Disadvantages: as they wrote, the body squeaks slightly when pressed, but not critical, I don’t notice it at all. The screen is very labeled, you must immediately stock up on the film. Just packaged, i.e. no protective films. poor equipment, although pofigu it. Of quibbles is a large charging case. All the same, nanotechnology, etc., could make the case smaller. two colors, blue and white.

Comment: The tablet was donated to NG wife. I have never dealt with tablets, so I chose by characteristics and reviews. He doubted for a long time, but in the category up to 20k this is the best option. good solid housing. comfortable rocker and lock button. Not very convenient cover for SIM card and flash drive. Slightly bulging for the case. The creak when pressed on the case is not annoying, I almost do not notice it and do not focus attention. I think the cover will correct these two shortcomings. (He has already arrived with Ali, here is the link http://ru.aliexpress.com/item/Case-Tab2-A10-70-Leather-cover-case-funda-for-For-lenovo-tab -2-a10-70-10 / 32344617933.html)
To be honest, I expected less from the tablet for such money, but the clarity of the screen and the sound coming from the rear speakers struck me. I did not think it would be so super. Immediately they downloaded a bunch of attachments and games into the built-in memory. The flash drive (up to 64g) was not inserted yet. Android 4.4, perfect touch, not tupit, not lagging, wi-fi doesn't fall off, I won't update to 5 Games with good graphics fly. applications too. quickly turns off, opens. Now there is a lag, VK crashes, but I think this is a bug of the attachment. Instagram on it is a pleasure to watch.
now I know what to do with myself in the toilet)
I can tell from myself, if you are doubtful whether to take it or not, take it!

I will add a review. The cover fits perfectly, but the touch stops working adequately due to the magnets. if you take the case, take it without them!

Advantages: Low weight, minimum for 10 "case dimensions,
screen - good colors, viewing angles,
battery (running time) is excellent, YouTube + games hold 8.5 hours,
nimble,
the sound is good
price.

Disadvantages: Greater screen brightness even at the minimum
the screen is plastic, the coating is not oleophobic, plastic is felt, not glass,
uncomfortable, too simplified staff launcher,
no hdmi
inconvenient arrangement of all buttons on one side,
The speakers are located at the back.

Comment: Before Lenovo, I had an ACER A701, so I have something to compare with.
At ACER, a more thoughtful launcher and ergonomics, Lenovo is simpler, got used to it for almost a month - got used to it.
I put SD fat32 on 64GB - everything works, some programs transferred to SD.
On Android 5, the automatic update was not updated, I didn’t forcibly update - 4.4.4 is enough for me.
Skype cameras are good (I never use tablets for photos).
The device is very decent, I do not regret the purchase. All flaws are insignificant.
In the price range of 18-20 thousand rubles. I did not find analogs of tablets with SUCH characteristics and battery.

Advantages: Written before

Disadvantages: Also described about others. Suddenly, the crunch on the left side, under the charging connector, began to intensify. Until trouble to hold in your hand.

Comment: I bought the carcass in the blind, not twisting in the hands of the stores.
There is still no alternative to today.
A comment about the fears of the upgrade to the 5th android:
After the auto-update - WiFi really fell off every minute.
It is written on 4PDA - full reset, to factory settings.
The first time I made a software reset from the settings of Andrew - it did not help.
Repeated full reset - already through the engineering menu solved the problem. 2 months - no problems with WiFi.
In addition to this unpleasant moment from 5 android only positive emotions. Update on health.

Advantages: SCREEN - 8/10
+ Excellent for its class fullHD ips
+ 10 inches (not smartpad, not a shovel - a full-fledged tablet)
+ turns on double-tap (tapping)
+ excellent colors and viewing angles
+ the ability to programmatically adjust the color temperature
+/- for 2015 The resolution is not enough, after the phone (fullHD at 5 inches) the difference is very noticeable. However, it is much better than the zenpad, galaxy tab and others like them with 1024x768 and 1280x800.
+/- oleophobic coating either not, or almost none; prints remain, but the finger slides perfectly
- very small range of brightness, the difference between 0% and 100% is barely visible
- The minimum brightness is too high, I decided to use the software (the program "screen filter").
***
SOUND - 10/10
+ very loud
+ several speakers creating a surround, beautiful sound
+ possibility of fine tuning dolby atmos
+/- the minimum volume through the speakers is too high, to play / look at the night - you have to use headphones, you can not put a barely audible level.
***
PRICE - 9/10
+ taking into account the jump bucks worth every penny spent!
- minimum of minimum of internal memory, i.e. + about 1500R. on 64GB microsd class 10
- need protection, i.e. + at least 1700r. for a decent leather case
- not gorilla voice and KO, i.e. + 700 rub. on tape
***

Disadvantages: CAMERA - 4/10
+ Excellent resolution for the tablet: 8 mrh and 5 mhr to the front
+ there are effects (series of pictures, etc.), some settings
- in quality, it sucks, and you don’t need to say that no one takes pictures on tablets; There would be a camera of the level lg g4 or samsung galaxy s6 - they would shoot with great pleasure.
- no flash
- a huge minus: the sound of the "shutter" and the squeak of autofocus is turned off neither by the settings, nor by connecting the headphones, it is not reduced by the volume key. It is impossible to catch an interesting moment when shooting children / animals, to shoot in silence (at a meeting, concert, etc.) is impossible, to shoot a lot in a row (often for work) is impossible - the squeak hits the nerves.

Comment: GAMES - 9/10
+ there is a minimally comfortable set: 4 cores, 2 GB of RAM
+ Excellent for all kazualki (limbo, Subway surf, Monument valley, Fallout shelter, Angry birds 2, Vector, Minion rush, Redline rush, Plants vs. Zombies, CSR Racing, Asphalt 7, Does not commute)
+ comfortably pulls: Max Payne (full port with PC, fully Russian voice acting, one of the best action games in history); Heroes of might and magic III (full PC port, all-Russian voice acting, one of the best strategies in history); Star wars K.O.T.O.R. (full port with PC, Russian text, one of the best RPGs in history).
- Asphalt 8 at maximum does not slow down, but sags fps
- there is no power reserve for the future, no over 8 cores, no over 4 GB of RAM, after a year or two at maximum speed it will not play

BODY - 7/10
+ Some people write a bit thick (9mm), but inside there is a good 7000th battery, so it's very
+ back panel of nice blue (in my case) soft-touch is excellent
+/- the presence of a slot for a sim card is excellent, but you cannot call. I do not know why to call him, but you never know ...
+/- slot for sd card - great, but only supported up to 64GB
- there are no nishtyakov-type built-in stand (as in Yoga)
- if it is unsuccessful to click - it squeaks how it will behave further - unknown

TOTAL: Excellent multimedia machine on paper, but not everything is fully implemented, which is partly (quite rightly!) Due to an affordable price. The ideal solution would be to use it with a powerful heaped mobile phone (I have it - paired with lg g2), with an excellent screen, an excellent silent camera, excellent autonomy, and so on. and so on and so on, i.e. The tablet is used for those games where everything is too small on a 5 "screen, for office applications, surfing the internet, reading pdf and reading in general, watching movies.

VERDICT: cons decently, but I do not regret the purchase.

Advantages: Dimensions
Working hours
Speed ​​performance
High-quality screen (screen pixels are not visible, unlike previous models)
Good front camera
Loud dolby sound
Simple branded shell
There is a function to exit from sleep mode, when you open the cover of the cover (like the iPad)
I chose between the iPad Air and this, bought an iPad disappointed, sold, bought Lenovo very happy.

Disadvantages: All that I list is not a drawback for me personally, but rather confirmation of the comments of other buyers:

Without updating the firmware to Android 5.0 (Default 4.4), the video on Youtube shows the maximum quality of 720p, if you want 1080p, you need to upgrade to 5.0. In this case, any 1080p movies go without problems.

!IMPORTANT! At the time of writing, there are flaws in the software part of the update on 5.0, you can read in detail on the w3bsit3-dns.com forum (after the update, WiFi does not work very well, Dolby disappears, etc.), I really liked the 4.4 implementation itself 5.0, in my opinion, unsuccessful, this applies to all tablets , I will not update, and so everything works fine.

The focusing sound of the camera does not turn off (I read that photos without sound are illegal in China).

Slight plastic smell after unpacking.

Slightly creaks the case if you bend the tablet.

Without root, you can not install applications on a memory card (but I still have 16GB, 5 are busy, I do not play games)

Someone wrote that you can not turn off the keyboard vibration feedback, this is not true, you can disable it.

Comment: Before the advent of the tablet, I used the HTC One X smartphone (3 years) and the Ipad Air tablet (2 weeks).
I decided to share information about this model, I really liked the tablet, and so far there are not enough reviews.
I use the tablet for 3 days. Therefore, I will not talk about reliability, time will tell.
Before buying, I reviewed all the main popular models from top and medium manufacturers.

I use for surfing the Internet, watching movies, listening to music, I have not played games yet.

Before that, Ipad Air was a couple of weeks, I was disappointed in it wildest, and sold two weeks after the purchase, I honestly don’t understand what brand fans find in it, it’s not convenient to use it for work, long, expensive, in general I’m more I won't do it. Android took a big step forward, and it pleases.

Compared with Ipad Air, Lenovo has a screen and sound that is subjectively worse by 15%, while the quality of the screen and sound in the stub is very, very good until it is surpassed, but otherwise, Lenovo is furiously happy, i.e. it works faster, real fact.
The Android is laconic, applications are installed and work as conveniently as on a smartphone and even better, the battery holds up well, you can accurately watch 8 hours of video.
Screen pixels are not visible, unlike previous models. The sound is very loud, but I do not have enough bass, although you don’t expect it from a tablet. Pre-installed applications can be removed, but not all. Twitter is possible and it is just like a balm for the soul.
Not heavy, but it's better to buy a Chinese case right away, $ 15 on AliExpress, similar to the iPad case, with the screen off.
On sale is a film on the screen Luxcase matte and glossy - a great manufacturer.
In conclusion, I’ll add, my opinion, the tablet has no direct competitors, if you need a technologically advanced, not heavy device, with long battery life, with a non-slip case, a decent front camera, you can buy. I also recommend it as a first tablet if you are not sure if you need it or not.

Advantages: 1. High-quality assembly, appearance, like that the back of the dark blue
2. Loud sound with stereo speakers and surround sound DOLBY (3 speakers)
3. Fast work, without hangs, without brakes, tested on the most demanding toys
4. Bright screen with high resolution and rich colors
5. Powerful battery
6. Ability to upgrade to Android 5.0
7. Slot for SIM 4 G (Internet flies)
8. Excellent pictures are obtained, camera 8 mp

Disadvantages: I haven’t noticed yet, unless there are no headphones in the kit (and why the hell are they? Anyway, they wouldn't put the good ones)

Comment: I think the tablets are starting to break new ground. If earlier a tablet with 2 nuclear processes and 1 GB of RAM was considered the norm, now it is gone. I think in a year the average tablet will have characteristics like this Lenova. The cost of a tablet with such characteristics is very democratic today. Yesterday I purchased a native branded case in dark blue. I'm all happy with this device. Good luck to all!
