Lenovo Tab 4 8inch and 10inch Plus

Tempest

Finished watching my Tablet in bed last night. Turned off the Bluetooth.
Location is off anyway. Pretty sure I left WiFi on (to be honest I'd aways want that on anyway, on any tablet, so you would get notifications coming thru)

When I use the tablet tonight, 22.5 hours later, I'll make a note of how much batter it's used just sitting there sleeping, and post it here tomorrow.

Whilst, I of course love a tablet that uses little power, when in use.
Lasting ages, when it's just sleeping it a really big point for me.
If I put a tablet down, with say 75% charge, I don't wish to go to pick it up, 3, 5, even 7 days later and find out the batterys dead.

If you look at the screenshot I succeeded in sending, there is a dotted line showing when the wi fi , or  screen was on etc you will see you t hat the wi fi  was on all the time  My practice is not to turn the unit off cold.

Ok. Done my actual test, so I have real number as opposed to just a Opinion on battery.

My Current Tablet, Hudl2.   Location and Bluetooth turned off, just WiFi still left on, and a very strong wifi signal.

I've done the maths, and on standby/asleep (not powered down cold) Battery drops almost 16% over a 24 hour period.

This is why I normally turn it off fully/cold every night after finishing watching perhaps a hour of YouTube before going to sleep.

Hence why I'm interested as to what drop when sleeping a new replacement may have.

Well my Samsung Tab A 10.1 16 drops about 1% over a 24 period with WiFi on.

Have you made a thread about tablet suggestions for your needs? I just sense this threads getting taken off topic or anyone who wants to know about the Lenovo models.

Thanks for that.
Yes, you are correct, I was just finding all this very interesting and my 'Inner Geek' got out of control!

As you say, let's keep this thread about Lenovo

Hey no worries, I'm exactly the same!

I went back into Currys today.
Quick fiddle on the Lenovo Tab 4, the Yoga Tab 3 was still not powered up, and they don't currently stock the Tab 3 PRO model (no idea why) so even it it was powered up, not have been much use.

I then overheard the sale rep speaking to another customer than there was a new Samsung Tab A in stock, but they can't sell it yet as it's not official/released? Perhaps this weekend.

I stupidly did not ask him about size, so it may be the 7" one.
I've scoured the web and can't find anything else about a Jan 2018 new model Tab A

(Back to Lenovo)
Given timescales.... It's about dam time there was a Lenovo Yoga Tab 4
Given how old the Tab 3 is, and there is a normal 4. be nice if the did a new Yoga one

This is the new Samsung model, I looked at it (not I'm person, spec wise) and it's just too underpowered and low spec for me 1.4ghz processor and HD screen.

The old Lenovo yoga  tab 3 pro had a number of different features such as a video projector, but a much poorer processor and screen. I would see the yoga 3 plus as being effectively the yoga 4.
