Lenovo Tab4 10 Tablet (10.1 inch,16GB,Wi-Fi + 4G LTE, Non Calling) Slate Black

Good product

I am writing to express my concern regarding an Android tablet ([Lenovo4 10]) I purchased, Unfortunately, the device does not meet the expected functionality, and I am unable to exercise the return or replacement option as advertised. Upon setting up the tablet, I discovered that the pre-installed YouTube application is outdated and cannot be updated. When I attempted to update it via the Google Play Store, I received a message stating, “No update available for this version.” This indicates that the tablet may have an incompatible or unsupported software version, rendering it unsuitable for my needs. Additionally, when I checked the return or replacement options on your website, I found that these were unavailable, which is concerning given the product’s issue. I have already tried troubleshooting the problem by [list actions, e.g., restarting the device, checking for system updates, or contacting Google Play support], but the issue persists. As a customer, I expect a fully functional product or, at the very least, the option to return or replace a defective item. I kindly request one of the following resolutions: A full refund for the tablet. A replacement with a fully updated and functional device. A solution to update the YouTube application and ensure compatibility with the latest software. Please address this issue promptly and provide a response within your return/replacement policy from the date of this complaint.

I needed a replacement for my Mi Pad. Sadly, Xiaomi has stopped selling tablets in India, and I was not willing to risk importing one from China. So I had to look elsewhere. My usage consists of reading ebooks and watching movies. Occasionally I play some games as well. For under ₹15k, I shortlisted 3 tablets, with requirements being: 10" screen, built-in 4G: 1. Alcatel A3 10 -- disqualified because of small battery capacity (4.6 Ah, vs 7Ah in Lenovo Tab4), Mediatek processor. Also I'm pretty sure that it will not get any OS updates. Their web site didn't do anything to ease this suspicion. 2. Huawei Honor MediaPad T3 -- small battery again (4.8 Ah). Also from online reviews, it seems like they have a heavily customized UI, which I disliked. Once again, future updates are doubtful. 3. This one -- while not perfect, by process of elimination I had no other choice. My thoughts on this device: * Good battery life. 7Ah will get you a long way. You can probably get 10-12 hours of usage at full brightness. However, I get worse battery life than I used to with my Mi Pad, which had a similar battery capacity. I think this is because of poorly optimized OS. * Stock Android. Thankfully Lenovo has decided to leave the UI alone, for the most part. The few modifications it has made are actually useful -- double tap to wake, and productivity interface. The latter is a mode which turns the nav bar into something like the task bar in Windows. Each running app gets an icon there, and you can tap on them to switch between them. I suppose this feature, along with Android 7.1's split-screen feature, plus a keyboard and mouse combo, will turn this tablet into a productive device, but I have not used it this way. * Not much preinstalled bloat. There were a few (such as Amazon Alexa), but they can be uninstalled. * Software updates. Since I bought this in Oct. 2018, it has received two OTA updates at the time of writing this, the last of which added the double tap to wake functionality. It's good to see the device still receiving updates. As of now, it is on Android 7.1, July 2018 security patch. According to Lenovo's Upgrade Matrix, it should receive an update to 8.1 as well. Knowing Lenovo, that will probably be the last major update for this device. * Front-facing stereo speakers. They are loud enough, and more importantly, are at the front, so you don't have to turn up the volume. Quality is strictly ok-ok. You should use earphones if you can. * LTE capability. This device has 4G, but no VoLTE. This means that you can get internet, but can't make calls... Unless you are a Jio user! Then you can install Jio4GVoice app to make and receive calls. Better to use earphones with built-in mic for this, as it doesn't have an earpiece for calls. The audio is routed to the speakers directly. * Display. This is one of the areas where Mi Pad is far, far better. Resolution is 1280 x 800. You can see the pixels when you are holding it a bit close during web browsing, for example. But I don't think anyone can do much about it; there are no full HD Android tablets for less than ₹20k I believe. * No ambient brightness sensor. This was a drawback for me. I hate having to increase and decrease brightness depending on time of day. * Expandable storage. In the 16GB version, about 8 GB is usable for apps and storage. If this is not enough, you can use Android's 'adoptable storage' feature. Basically, Android will format the SD card and treat it the same as internal storage. If you perform this action, you can move apps to SD card. But keep in mind that once you do this, the SD card contents will not be readable by any other device. This is because the contents are encrypted, and only the device which did the formatting has the key. If you destroy the device, or factory reset it, the contents of the card are lost. * Jio Apps. Some of their apps are disabled for installation, such as JioTV and MyJio. This is a bummer, because there is no reason why they wouldn't work on this tablet. But there is a workaround. If you get the APKs from somewhere (there is a mirror for APKs... <wink>), then the apps install and run perfectly fine. * Performance. This tablet has a fairly low end SoC -- Snapdragon 425. Don't expect too much. I see some lag and stuttering when I open heavy webpages or launch heavy apps. But I can live with it. That's all. Overall, I am happy with the device. But I am also sad that this is the best we get in the price range. I wish Xiaomi continued to sell tablets. The Mi Pad (launched in 2014) would still have better specs than what we get now for the same price.

Superb

It is utmost worst item from LENOVO. It is exclusively launched as excessive advertising hammer tool to be struck on buyer's head. No sooner you try to run any app, advertisements are struck on your head. Please boycott and anti-advertise as strongly as you can...

Camera quality is bad. You won't be able to take video calls, that bad camera.On the heavier side, we expect tab easy to carry and hold. Only 16 gb internal storage. You have a better alternative with Samsung Tab at the same price. Screen size is good. Screen resolution is OK. Sound is OK. Performance is OK till now, have not bloatedmuch with apps as only use for checking emails and office work and prime videos, no gaming. Nothing great about the product.

First of all I thank myself for surfing a month for good tab and find this lenovo 4. I choose the tab for specifications like big screen, long lasting battery , no heat, good touch quality, extended ROM and. High ram.. etc.. while searching according to it I got lenovo filling this specification at reasonable cost.. tab at cost of 3k to 8k will go fast as they comes fast. But this it fills all my specifications and I'm extremely happy and fulfilled... I'm using it for 6 month... It works awesome.. It supports keyboard which they provided externally with tab cover( exclusive) Battery power ( you can watch 3 complete movies duration of 3 hours in full sound and medium brightness) Even if I switch on the network and use data also it lasts upto 16hours ... If I leave my tab untouched for few days it takes 8-10 days to drain battery completely.. It is fast.. touch quality is gud hard and durable, light weight.. I'm preparing for upsc it supports me to hold all the books in it.. Nowadays I'm just taking this tab alone to class and even notes are taken in this.. Extremely satisfied and overjoyed that my first tab is my best tab in my life... Pls take my suggestion to buy it...
