I’m happy that I saw the Lenovo A8-50 specially it’s appearance at 8 inches. Here’s why and the rest of the details.
Most of the 8 inch Android tablets that you encounter from both local and international brands are like the size of the iPad mini. This one is at more of the rectangular shape which is better for me in terms of gripping and watching videos. One of the main selling points of this tablet is dual Dolby speakers at the front. The back cover is a bit of a glossy and matte finish but no problems on finger magnets. In previous post, I said that there are 3 versions of this device and good thing, Lenovo Mobile PH people brought in the best variant for me which is the WiFi + 3G for both calls and mobile internet. The phone app confirms that it can accept calls. One thing that I also like is the phone and internal storage are already in one partition as you can see in one of my pics. This device has 16 GB ROM so clear that the OS consumed about 4 GB of space.
Bonus for me that it has an FM radio. Unlike in an international tech site, I checked that it has 8 MP rear shooter.
Here are my 8 MP rear and 1 MP front camera samples and the specs of the Lenovo A8-50. This device has an SRP of P10,499
