Daily-use review · Budget 3G tablet
Verdict
The Lenovo IdeaTab A2107 suits anyone wanting a budget 3G tablet with near-stock Android, but its weak display and slow app drawer make the Nexus 7 the better buy.

Verdict

The Lenovo IdeaTab A2107 3G is a 7-inch entry-level tablet featuring a 1024 x 600 resolution display and powered by a 1GHz MediaTek MTK6575 processor with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. It runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and stands out with its dual-SIM 3G connectivity, built-in GPS, and a robust internal roll cage for drop protection. Main pros include its durable build quality, long battery life of up to 10 hours for web browsing, and expandable storage via microSD. However, it suffers from significant performance lag during multitasking, a low-resolution screen with poor viewing angles, and mediocre camera quality from its 2MP rear and VGA front sensors.
