Lenovo Tab 4 8inch and 10inch Plus

Link please?


I'd want to see a Hudl side by side against the like of the Lenovo to believe it.
I don't know about the different versions, but Damir thought the S2 was great, at least level with the iPad, and cheaper (plus the micro sd slot)

How to change the Battery (just need a thin plastic non sharp/blade tool)

                               

Batteries (few sellers on Ebay)
Genuine Original Tesco Hudl 2 Tablet Battery brand New **hurry** Offer Ltd Time  | eBay


Charging port/controller (again a few sellers)
New Micro USB DC Charging Socket Port Jack Connector for Tesco HUDL 2  | eBay

Even if you needed both it's less than £20 to hopefully get all up and running again

If these tests are downloading stuff from the internet under wireless, rather than running from internal storage, the test might not be fair.... The first device can hog the bandwidth, depending on router and tablet,...

I was really just focusing on the smoothness of that 3D graphical demo/example.

Makes me a little annoyed/dismayed when products for sale today (android tablets) are running worse than something from 2 years ago.

One would like to think we all move forwards each year, but many seem to keep using old chipsets for save, what can only be like $5.

I'm almost suffering from the problem I often find, and I'm sure I'm not alone here.
You think £150 item, that's not bad.
Oh look a £200 one that;s better.
Well, I'm going to be using it every day, for perhaps 2 or 3 years, so seems silly not to get the better one for just £50 more.

Then, oh look, that £250 one seems really nice. Well I kinda settled on 200, but this is only £50 more.

Before you know where you are, you are at £350   when you initially were thinking £150

Popped down local Currys Superstore this afternoon and had a little fiddle.

They had a Lenovo Tab4 Plus 10
Which thankfully was powered up.
Unfortunately no internet, so was unable to play music, I may go back and use my mobile as a hotspot and link it up, it I decided I'd get one.

I like the two speakers, at least making an effort to face forwards.

Build wise, felt pretty premium, glass front and back, nice and thin, quite rigid.
All in all, quite impressive.
Screen nice and clear, and bright, general scrolling around the few bits I could seemed more than acceptable.

Two personal issues about what I saw:

1: Don't like the White, as it's that, not quite white white, looks like it needs a clean white.
But I'd probably go for black anyway as whilst it's boring, black is still always the best colour? to frame a graphical display as a boarder.

2: What Idiot! decided to put a plastic 90# angled point all around the outside.
It's like SCREAMING. Please dent/damage me.

Perhaps they were thinking, people can get their nails under the edge to lift it up, but it just looks so prone to getting damage:

                                                                                                                                                 

Other than that design issue (needs a case) physically looks really nice.

Like to know how long it lasts when you just let the screen blank, say at night, and pick it up the following day, 24 hours later, and how much the batter has gone down, whilst just sitting there.

See Damir's review.

Tempest

Thanks. Went back to look at this.
It's kinda starting to look like this 10" model, it quite a well balanced machine.

.. But remember the yoga 3 plus 10 has a better screen. An equally good processor

Are Lenovo updating their tablets now, when i had one it never received a single update.

Tempest

Indeed.
£50 more for the Yoga 3 plus 10
It seems to have a better speaker, better battery life. Higher resolution screen, and the metal kickstand (if you like that style - which I can imagine you either love or hate)
And seems to perform even better than the Tab4 Plus, on that benchmark


But it's a older model and on an older version of Android, with, I'm sure no hope of any upgrades.

Grrrrr

It's sooooooooooooo annoying, so I buy a newer slightly worse model with updates.
Or £50 for a older slightly better model with no updates.

Someone needs a slap!

Ahhh for the goold old days when purchases were simple.
Oh hell, even Apple.

Why do these other brands keep kicking out models worse than the previous ones, and using these old chipsets.
