What customers don't like about Lenovo IdeaTab S2110 3G (1GB + 16GB)

  • Plastic build quality can feel somewhat fragile and prone to twisting under pressure.
  • Noticeable lag in the basic home screen user interface and some pre-loaded widgets.
  • Keyboard dock and touchpad can experience slight input delays.
  • Rear camera performance is grainy, especially in indoor or low-light environments.

Verdict

The Lenovo IdeaTab S2110 3G is a 10.1-inch Android tablet featuring a bright 1280x800 IPS display (420 nits) and a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor. This specific 3G-enabled configuration includes 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, and dedicated GPS support, which is exclusive to the cellular model. Its main strengths are a remarkably thin and light profile, a 5MP rear camera with LED flash, and compatibility with an optional battery-boosting keyboard dock that can extend runtimes up to 20 hours. However, notable drawbacks include a lack of a built-in microSD card slot on the tablet itself, a somewhat flexible plastic chassis that can lead to screen warping when handled firmly, and laggy home screen animations due to heavy software widgets.
