Lenovo Tab One Lightweight Android Tablet 8.7 Inch HD Display 4 GB Memory 64 GB Storage MediaTek Helio G85 Processor With Included Folio Case

I did an impulse purchase the last time Dropy dropped the price of this Lenovo Tab One tablet. It's 8.7-inch screen and one pound weight (with case) is what enticed me to buy it. I wanted something with a bigger screen than my phone, but considerably lighter (and smaller) than my powerful 12-inch OnePlus tablet. Something I can easily hold with one hand for general email, news, and social media browsing as well as light gaming. The form factor of this Lenovo Tab One fits my needs perfectly. After using it for this past week, here is my brief review:1. Screen - its 1340 x 800 resolution looks better than I anticipated. Great vibrant colors and sufficient brightness. Good touch response. Split screen function works fine to run/view two apps at same time.2. Sound - decent, about what you'd expect for a tablet this size. There is a dedicated headphone jack if you want to hear the bass.3. Battery - using it all day, I've not dropped below 30% charge. More than enough for my needs.4. Cameras - 8MP rear camera does fine, but does not compare to my Pixel 10 Pro. The 2MP front camera works great for facial recognition, making it super easy to log onto the tablet.5. Software - Android 14 out of the box but automatically updated to Android 15 after setting it up (that's as high as Lenovo plans on taking it). Lenovo will support quarterly security updates through 3/14/27 so you can plan on replacing this tablet at the end of 2027 if you want to stay safe.6. Performance - seems snappy at all the basic tasks and runs every app I need (including a few basic games) without any problems or slowdowns. 4GB of computer memory, so don't expect miracles with large games.7. Expandability - I inserted a 128GB microSD card to supplement the 64GB of built-in storage, so I have plenty of on-board storage.8. Case - the included folio case is fine. You can use it to hold the tablet up like a laptop screen if needed. The cover, when folded over and back makes a convenient handhold for the tablet.Summary: This Lenovo Tab One tablet turned out to fit my needs perfectly and, for the price, delivers a significantly more polished experience than I was anticipating. This is one impulse purchase that worked out very well.

I read the negative reviews as well as watched some YouTube videos before making the purchase. The videos I watched impressed me with how smooth and quick this tablet responded compared to others at this price range. To my surprise, it runs rather quick, although I can see why some would possibly think its slow because of all the bloatware apps it comes with.....however, once you uninstall those, do some minor tweaks like remove animations in the developer menu, this tablet comes to life. The downside to this tablet so far that I've come across is it's not very bright, but indoors that won't matter, and the other downside is that it can't handle 60 fps videos. But honestly, 30 fps videos look just fine and for the price, I can't say it's a negative. It does handle 1080p, 1440p and 4K videos fine, but only at 24-30 fps. If I had to compare this to other tablets, I would say do NOT buy any others at this price range. This tablet smokes them in performance/speed/responsiveness by a landslide. With how fast it responds, I would say this tablet "feels" like it would be in the $200-$250+ price range. I've tried Samsungs A6 and A7 tablets before, and this Lenovo tablet is still way better than those were. Even with only 4GB of RAM, you would think this tablet has more. Battery life seems pretty good as well, even better than other tablets I tried in the past that had a bigger capacity. And the sound I would say is pretty good as well. Cranked up to max, I didn't hear any distortions. All and all, this tablet is a gem for the price. I would highly recommend it to anyone not wanting to go over $100.

I'm reviewing Lenovo Tab One, TB305FU, aka K9Pro: Headphone jack, 5000+ mAh battery, reasonably fast charging. MicroSD port accepted my 512GB card. Screen brightness is a little above what I've seen over the past decade. Sound is good, Dolby Atmos helps a lot. Glass screen, not plastic. Some bloatware (mostly games) but I uninstalled most of the preinstalled stuff.Plus: screen turns off and locks when folio is closed - not a very common feature, I love it!Con: Android 15 is forcing swipe as user input and that totally wrecks the traditional 3 button user input bar ('resistance is futile'). Lenovo home screen also pushing swipe. 8MP main camera (could be better), 2MP selfie camera (definitely could be better). To get fastest charge time you will need an mid grade charger or better, no charger is included. No declaration anywhere regarding wireless charging.Nice, smaller tablet vs my 10" Umidigi. Seems to be marketed towards students, probably will very good for them.Folio is a little on the thin side, so life span of folio versus mfr warranty (of the tablet) likely to be less (aftermarket folio and cases are available but shop wisely).Seems there is a different version of this tablet which supports cell calling, but this model is not the cell version.
