Verdict

The Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus (TB-8704) is a premium 8-inch Android tablet featuring a Full HD IPS display (1920 x 1200) and a sleek glass-sandwich design with an aluminum frame. This 4G-enabled model is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 octa-core processor paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, expandable up to 128GB via microSD. Key strengths include its vibrant, high-resolution screen, dual front-firing speakers with Dolby Atmos support, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for secure multi-user access, and a lightweight 300g build. However, users often note that the cameras (8MP rear/5MP front) perform poorly in low light, the charging speed is relatively slow at 10W, and the glass exterior is highly prone to fingerprints and scratches.
