What customers like about Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus WiFi (3GB + 16GB)

  • Dual front-facing speakers with Dolby Atmos support provide loud and clear stereo sound.
  • Premium design featuring a glass back and metallic frame that feels high-quality.
  • Sharp 8-inch IPS display with good 1920 x 1200 resolution and brightness levels.
  • Strong overall performance for media consumption and multitasking due to the Snapdragon 625 and 4GB RAM combo.
  • Includes helpful features like a built-in fingerprint scanner and USB-C charging.
  • Minimal bloatware with a user interface that is close to stock Android.

What customers don't like about Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus WiFi (3GB + 16GB)

  • Fingerprint reader integrated into the power button is frequently reported as finicky and unreliable.
  • Glass-heavy construction (front and back) makes the device fragile and prone to shattering if dropped.
  • Historical lack of major Android OS updates, leaving many users stuck on older software versions.
  • Some users reported occasional Wi-Fi connectivity issues and drops.
  • Cameras are mediocre, specifically struggling with graininess and poor performance in low-light conditions.
  • Vibration/haptic feedback is described by some as loud and clunky.

Verdict

The Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus is a premium 8-inch Android tablet featuring a sleek dual-glass design and a sharp 1920 x 1200 IPS display with 283 ppi. Under the hood, it is powered by a 2.0GHz octa-core Snapdragon 625 processor paired with 3GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD. Key strengths include its vibrant Full HD screen, loud dual front-facing speakers with Dolby Atmos support, and the inclusion of a fingerprint reader for secure, multi-user profiles. However, users frequently note that the fingerprint scanner can be unreliable, the 16GB of storage is quite limited for modern apps, and the glass-heavy build is prone to scratches and fingerprints without a protective case.
