What we don't like about Lenovo Ideatab A3000 3G (1GB + 32GB)

  • Relatively low screen resolution (1024x600) compared to rivals like the Nexus 7
  • Poor camera performance, especially in low light, with no built-in flash
  • Mixed battery life reports, with some users finding it insufficient for heavy use
  • Lack of essential inbox accessories such as earphones or a screen guard
  • Build quality feels somewhat plasticky and brittle
  • Limited official Android software updates from Lenovo

Verdict

The Lenovo IdeaTab A3000 is a portable 7-inch tablet featuring a 1024x600 IPS display and powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core MediaTek MT8389 processor. This specific 3G-enabled variant includes 1GB of LP-DDR2 RAM and 32GB of internal storage, which is further expandable up to 64GB via a microSD slot. Its main characteristics include dual-SIM support with voice calling capabilities, a 5MP autofocus rear camera, and a 3500mAh battery providing approximately 7 hours of active use. Key pros highlighted by users include its smooth multitasking performance, wide viewing angles from the IPS screen, and loud stereo speakers. However, common cons include a relatively low screen pixel density, lack of a camera flash for low-light photography, and the absence of included accessories like earphones in the standard retail package.
