Verdict

The Lenovo Tab 4 8 4G is a compact 8-inch Android tablet designed for family media consumption, featuring a 1280 x 800 IPS HD display and 4G LTE connectivity for on-the-go use. This specific 3GB RAM and 16GB storage variant is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 64-bit quad-core processor and includes a microSD slot that supports up to 256GB of expandable storage. Key pros include its immersive dual front-facing speakers with Dolby Atmos audio, a lightweight 310-gram build, and multi-user profile support that allows individual settings for different family members. However, users often note cons such as mediocre camera quality from the 5MP rear and 2MP front sensors, the lack of dual-band Wi-Fi (supporting only 2.4GHz), and slow charging times due to its micro-USB port.
