User Reviews for Lenovo IdeaTab A2107 16GB WiFi

This is a nicely built, beautifully designed 7-inch tablet budget tablet. Design-wise, it's one of the best in its class. However, where it really shines is its build quality: its body is made of plastic with a rubberised finish at the back that may not stand up to high quality products such as iPads but it is not flimsy and looks and feels much better than the Nexus 7 or Samsung's tablets. There's supposedly an internal roll cage though I cannot comment on its usefulness except to say that its intended to prevent damage to the internal parts in case you drop it. As for other aspects of the device, see below:nnPros: n1. Excellent WiFi reception. n2. 16 GB internal memory (great considering its price). n3. Dual SIM slots (2G & 3G, though I'm quite confused as to why there are two SIM slots). n4. Decent processor and RAM. n5. Front and back cameras. n6. Stereo speakers that are, again, decent. n7. Micro SD card slot.nnCons: n1. Bad viewing angles. When you hold it in portrait mode and you hold it at an angle, the screen is unreadable from the right side. However, there does not appear to be any serious problems when viewed from the other sides. It should be noted that this is not an IPS screen and you should not get your hopes too high. The resolution is also worse than that of the Nexus 7. n2. Bloatware. Lenovo has included several apps that are not too bad but these cannot be uninstalled or deleted. n3. Lenovo's custom skin. This is perhaps the main reason why you might feel the tablet is sluggish. I couldn't get rid of it but I've worked around it by installing a custom launcher. There's virtually no lag now. n4. No Gorilla glass. n5. Ice Cream Sandwich, not Jelly Bean (no word on upgrade to JB).nnOverall Virdict: For the price one can't really complain. Please don't try to compare it to the Nexus 7 or the iPad Mini as this is a $150 device while the Nexus 7 (4G model) costs $250. My biggest gripe is the viewing angle. I would suggest you try it out or see some YouTube videos before commiting. Other than this, I think this is an excellent tablet CONSIDERING the PRICE.

Bought this tablet 2 weeks ago for my friend.nWhat he need is a tablet in cheap rate with a good branding.nSo he choose Lenovo.n The things I like with this tablet is as followsn1).Good battery backup - gives more than 8 hours .n2).Dual sim optionsn 3).ambient light sensor.n4).2MP camera is not badnnBut the biggest problem is , it doesn't support any USB devices, I tried many OTG cables to try if this device supports keyboards , mouse , or pen drive.nBut it doesn't .nCan't even connect a pen drive ....? That sucks.nIn Lenovo's site they say USB accessories are supported , what are those accessories ?Charger and data cable ?nAnd this tablet is getting slow in most functions.nGames like GTA Vice City can be run only in the lowest settings! Because this tab has no dedicated graphics chip set.nnBuy this tablet only if you need longer battery backup and sim support.nIf you need performance ? pendrive, keyboards support ? Then go for another tab.nnI am writing this using Lava Xtron tablet , it has lesser battery life , but it is a better performer with many USB devices support.

Right now, its the best 3G tablet in the market below INR 15000. The biggest advantage of this tablet is inbuilt SIM card slot. Almost all the other tablets (except Galaxy Tab 2) offers only Wi-Fi connectivity and I don't know how its relevant in our country. Its hard to find an open public Wi-Fi network (at least in Kolkata) and without constant internet connectivity, a tablet is like a car without petrol.nnThis tablet has a good processor and great internal memory. Display resolution is not bad either. (Before Apple lovers start saying anything about Retina display, please consider how much you have paid for your Wi-Fi useless iPad. You can buy a 32 inch HD LED at the same price point! Example-LG 32LS4600. Price 31499. Apple 16GB iPad with Retina Display and Wi-Fi . Price 31900.) Do I need to say more??? If I want to see a HD movie, I would rather buy the LG LED.nnHowever, the lack of GPU is certainly disappointing. The tablet runs on Ice Cream Sandwich and probably won't get Jelly Bean update, but if that is not a big deal for you, its certainly a great choice.nnFinal verdict:nnGalaxy tab 2= Great display, Good GPU, Jelly Bean,Phone Call Facility. But you have to spend 6000 INR more.nnLenovo A2107= OK display, No GPU, ICS, Can't make phone call. But at this price point, you cant expect anything better than this.

Not Worth buying this tab. Hangs offen. Lots of other good tabs comes now in this range. Samsung tab2 is one of it. Also, google is going to launch Nexus on April 15th.

Finally purchased the lenovo ideapad at flipkart. Service was excellent.The first shipment had a faulty charger, flipkart got it replaced with a new shipment including tab. So no hassles.nReview of the tab, will keep it short.nBuild quality, this is no cheap plastic local made type. Very sturdy and has much better grip.Feels premium with lenovo logos. Decent performance, not sure of the GPU thou, there could be one inside but its not mentioned in the box.I found that GPU is present in 1GB RAM versions while searching over internet. Temple run2 plays nicely no hassles.nnSamsung Tab2 was expensive and didn't want a calling because its too big for a phone and bluetooth headset is a hassle always to carry. So went for this because this has wifi and 3G sim slots. At the price point this was a known brand among tier 1 manufacturers. WIFi only models are not worth it , for that we have laptops already dont we ;-) Interestingly just today Samsung launches a wifi only model of tab2, not sure if it has 3G also.nnMondarian UI is ok, not buttery smooth but after i open any app the speed of swipes is fine. browsing, you tubes, pictures, facebook are decent. You tube HD videos play very well.nScreen resolution is good, at this price can't expect some very high ppi. Box doesn't contain an earphone thou, lenovo could have included one. Some preinstalled apps are not uninstallable. 1GB RAM does the job. doc readers for PPT pdf are already present. Around 12 to 13 GB is available for user apps and storage out of the 16 GB. Camera is 3 Mega Pixel and not 2 MP as mentioned somewhere. Over all satisfied, it looks very elegant and stylish. Defintely way ahead of all other plasticky tabs including tab2s.
