At the Mobile World Congress (MWC), Lenovo
has announced a new 'Tab 4' tablet series, consisting of Lenovo Tab 4 8, Lenovo
Tab 4 8 Plus, Lenovo Tab 4 10 and Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus. The new tablets come in
two different display sizes (8-inch and 10-inch) and are further categorized as
standard and Plus variants.
The 8-inch/10-inch standard Tab 4 tablets are
powered by Qualcomm MSM8917 (Snapdragon 425) chipset and sport a
1,200x800-pixel resolution display. RAM is 2GB, while storage options include
16 or 32GB. The camera department is handled by a 2MP front unit and a 5MP rear
unit.
The Plus variants, on the other hand, are powered by
Snapdragon 625 SoC, and sport a 1,920x1,200-pixel resolution IPS display.
Available memory configurations include 3GB/16GB and 4GB/64GB. A 5MP camera is
on the front and an 8MP camera is on the back. There's a USB 2.0 Type-C port
and a fingerprint sensor as well. The Plus variants also feature a dual-glass
design.
Both standard as well as Plus versions have stereo
speakers with Dolby Atmos, run Android Nougat, and come in WiFi+LTE and
WiFi-only models. As for price, the regular 8-inch and 10-inch Tab 4 tablets
cost US$ 109 and US$ 149, respectively, while the corresponding Plus variants carry a
price tag of US$ 199 and US$ 249, respectively. They'll be launched in May this year.
Lenovo is also offering two separate kits aimed at
making these tablets suitable for kids and office. The Kid's Pack includes a
protective bumper, 3M stickers for scratch protection, and a blue-light filter.
Buyers will also get Kids Account that'll let users access curated content as
well as a kids-safe browser.
The Productivity Pack will
let users convert their tablet into a 2-in-1 with a Bluetooth keyboard and
trackpad. Those using this pack will also get a laptop-like experience from
their tablet with features like fast app switching and multiple windows
support, as well as a taskbar.
There's currently no information on the pricing and
availability of these packs.
