Third-party reviews

What customers like about Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 WiFi (1GB + 16GB)

  • Unique, ergonomic design with a cylindrical battery grip for comfortable one-handed use
  • Integrated sturdy aluminum kickstand supporting multiple viewing modes
  • Exceptional battery life, often cited as lasting 13 to 18+ hours
  • Front-firing speakers with Dolby Digital Plus enhancement for better audio projection
  • Expandable storage via a microSD card slot hidden behind the kickstand
  • Lightweight feel despite the distinctive shape

What customers don't like about Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 WiFi (1GB + 16GB)

  • Low screen resolution (1280 x 800) that can appear dull and lacks the sharpness of competitors
  • Heavy Lenovo software skin that removes the app drawer and can feel cluttered or 'ugly'
  • Mediocre performance from the MediaTek processor, leading to sluggishness in intensive apps or gaming
  • Subpar camera quality with washed-out colors and poor low-light performance
  • Sluggish screen orientation switching
  • Awkward typing experience in portrait mode due to the cylindrical handle

Verdict

The Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 (B6000) is an 8-inch Android 4.2 tablet distinguished by its unique cylindrical handle and integrated aluminum kickstand, which allows for hold, tilt, and stand modes. It features an IPS LCD display with a 1280 x 800 resolution, a quad-core 1.2GHz MediaTek MT8125 processor, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage expandable via microSD. Its primary strengths are an exceptional 6,000 mAh battery providing up to 18 hours of usage, front-facing stereo speakers with Dolby Digital Plus, and a sturdy, ergonomic build. However, it is held back by a relatively low-resolution screen with poor outdoor visibility, sluggish performance in demanding apps or games, a heavily modified user interface without an app drawer, and subpar 5MP rear and 1.6MP front cameras.
