User Reviews for Lenovo IdeaTab Yoga 8 16GB

I am editing my earlier review due to bullshit after sales service and design issues. The sim is stuck inside the damn tablet and it wont come out. Service center has no idea, neither is anyone else in the entire market. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The delivery from Flipkart was awesome as always. This tablet is quite handy, easy to hold and use especially because of the built-in stand. Setting it up was easy, except the fact that the normal sim needed to be modded a bit before the tablet finally accepted the sim. The lenovo UI is simple and easy to use and hence does not take up much memory. The tablet is quite fast but it is still missing some essential features like "play to DLNA" device, etc. Overall a decent product with very less documentation, little or no support minus a few essential software features.

I have had this tab for quite a few days back and here is my unbiased review of the same : The other contenders were :Sony Experia Z tablet,Samsung Galaxy Tab,iPad and iPad Mini. . Pitted against it`s rivals,the figures are as follows : Cost :A fantastic tab if you are on a budget and also want something good (Way better than the other contenders in many aspects).........(9.5/10) Looks :Fantastic looks with a metallic finish (No buttons on the front panel give it a very sharp,smooth and professional look)........(9/10) Screen :Looks good,crisp display and also has that "rich" look.Also has a power management app.........(8/10) Performance :Though it lacks a high end processor,but still manages to perform smoothly,handling multiple tasks at the same time..........(7/10) Battery :One word-Awesome !!! The others don`t even come close.........(9.5/10) Storage and interface :Massive expandable memory (64GB) and OTG Cable interface make work a whole lot easier (Just have an anti-virus installed)..........(9/10) Camera :Though the camera is of average quality,it can still produce some very nice pictures........(7.5/10) Multimedia features :The kick stand feature is not only unique but also practical and helpful (Specially in viewing documents or watching movies)............(8/10) Audio and video :The stock speakers are not so loud but still have a decent sound quality with DOLBY app.Sounds awesome on headphones,earphones or Bluetooth speakers.Also supports almost all video formats unlike it`s contenders (Great for movie lovers)..........(8/10) Connectivity :Wi-Fi,bluetooth and OTG cable allow you to connect to almost anything...........(9/10) Troubleshooting :Some of the users complained about stuck sim cards.Remedy for the same :Take your micro sim and pick out a spot that has the plastic end.Take a pin of the thinnest quality and using a gas torch heat it,make a fine hole and pass a fine thread through it.So if your sim gets stuck,you can just press it and simply pull it out like it was any other tab or phone (Just take extreme caution while making the hole). . Final verdict :An awesome budget tablet that outperforms it`s bigger rivals and even many high-end smartphones.For the people who travel a lot,just pair it up with decent accessories and it can even replace your laptop.Except for a few minor issues,this tablet can even give it`s bigger rivals quite a run for their money. . Final score :......(8.5/10)

Its been 2 days I've been using this product - it's fantastic!!! nnAs expected - Flipkart delivered the product in less time than expected. I am on an project assignment in a town in Haryana, I expected this to be delivered in a week's time. But it was delivered in 2 days. Awesome service from flipkart.nnMy unbiased and honest comments on this product:nn1. Absolutely amazing battery life - more than 24 hours of "on time". "Standby Time" would be around 80 hours. (Not kidding, really it is)nn2. Aluminum Alloy body - its light yet strong and scratch resistantnn3. The Best Thing - it's in-built back stand: gives you proper grip to avoid it slipping from hands, useful in keeping it at a desk - its perfect - an engineering marvel I'd say.nn4. User interface is good, it not sluggish - video playback is great. I dont play games anymore except online pool or something - hence can't comment on game play on this tab.nn5. Sound of this tablet is good. Dolby sound software makes the playback sound of movies better, but the volume is not enough. Maybe a usb/bluetooth speaker would help if you watch movies a lot.nn6. I wish Lenovo would have supplied a headphone in the box.nn7. It renders heavy web-pages quickly. If you have a good 3G connection then surfing the web would be pleasurable.nn8. Google Play store has many good apps - Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Whatsapp: everything you need.nn9. I was expecting that MS Office Mobile would run on this Tab - but MS Office Mobile is launched only for mobiles - not for tablets. There is a King Office or something that came pre-installed on the device - it gets my work done.nn10. Email app (I use Gmail for work and personal) is very good.nnTo summarise - this is what I was looking for in a Tablet - absolute paisa wasool.nnI strongly recommend this tab for non-hardcore gaming users. Its value for money and a very good example of good engineering designs.

look everybody...this review is for those who use this for normal use not for the gaming ones.nni brought this from a lenovo store in kolkata and they gave me slight discount with all the accessories. i was in cloud nine because i was able to get them both in single occasion.nnsecondly the user friendly was good..not much of a disappoint. infact fine, though it lags little bit when opening documents or pdf, it working simply fine for me. nndolby sound was great though the headphone was kind a not-so-great. infact it was very classy when songs played with its clear sound.nnhd videos played fine.nnohhhh the battery....its the hercules of batteries. it is really a 16 hr one. nnthe calling is not used extensively so no comment. nnbut the holding of the tablet is simply the best, will remain the best for ebook readers. just awesome. casing from lenovo is just perfect and the screen guard was really helpful.nnthogh the backside get finger impressions...... i ran at single fro 3 hours without sleep mode, it was not that heated as expected.nn32gb sd card work fine and yes still now all format played smoothly.nnn1 negative "was" - the screen flickered sometimes at row for 4 times once. otherwise running smoothly.nlook we all probably who own i5or i7 notebook, don't actually use it as such, so its(lenovo) specifications was normal for me.nnbuy it for battery, design. rest is all the same.

I knew yoga 8 isn't a top performance in benchmarks or run games like asphalt without any lag because i don't need them at all.nMy purpose of my work is well suited and yoga 8 fits them in all category's,say like n1.Battery is the key essential part of my work which carries more than 14 hours of day on a single charge with very HEAVY usage.n2.Sound quality is awesome when compared to other tabs.n3.I don't like to wear the flip covers on any smartphones or tablets which spoils the looks of the design and doesn't need third party to stand still position.Thanks to lenovo the kick stand (Hinge) which is really essential to use in 3 ways. nnThere are many pros and cons on every devices,but this one to my eye is the lenovo's sluggish interface.and should have come with better processor. nThe delivery was within 32 hours from flipkart and have no problems in packaging or defective product or ever,its excellent in service.
