The Lenovo Tab 4 series was first introduced during the MWC 2017 in Barcelona. Now, the company is ready to launch the line of 8- and 10-inch tablets from the same series of Android tablets. The latest tablet offerings are named Tab 4 8 and 8 Plus including Tab 4 10 and 10 Plus. All four iterations run Android Nougat.
Tab 4 8 and 8 Plus features
The 8-inch model features Qualcomm’s quad-core Snapdragon 425 chipset. Its memory stores 2GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage that can be expanded through the MicroSD card slot. Further, the resolution display is an impressive 1,280 x 800.The rear camera rocks 5MP while the face-fronting shooter has 2MP.
The Plus version’s chipset is based on Qualcomm’s octa-core Snapdragon 625. The RAM capacity is 4GB and the native storage goes as much as 64GB. It has front-facing speakers as well as a fingerprint sensor that is integrated into the power button. Its camera has higher megapixels with the rear at 8MP and the selfie camera at 5MP. Both models have 4,850 mAh batteries.
Details on the bigger versions
Similar to the 8-inch version, the bigger model is also built on Qualcomm’s quad-core Snapdragon 425 chipset. Memory capacity is the same for RAM, which is 2GB, and the internal storage at 16GB. A MicroSD card slot is also available for larger memory unit. This model features a 1,280 x 800 resolution display with a camera that has 8MP main and 5MP selfie shooter.
The Plus iteration of this model is also very similar to its 8-inch counterpart. It has Qualcomm’s octa-core Snapdragon 625 and a full HD display. 4GB of RAM and up to 64GB of native storage are available for use. The rear camera has 8MP and the front has 5MP. Unlike the 8 Plus version, the fingerprint sensor on this version is integrated with the home button.
One difference between the two is that the bigger model has a USB-C port, but both 10-inch models run with 7,000 mAh batteries.
Wrapping up
The regular and Plus variants clearly share a number of similarities. As mentioned, all models run Android 7.0 Nougat, which is probably a turn-off considering Android 8.0 Oreo is already available.
Unfortunately for the units in the U.S., the configurations max out at 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage for all of four tablets. In terms of pricing, only the Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus has an official starting price, which is $279. The other three models are still awaiting price details. The U.S. variants will slowly roll out in the market, but in comparison to the international versions, it seems the latter is more powerful and spacious.
