Don’t be fooled by its normal exterior and unassuming slate look, there is a lot of fire power underneath the hood with this tablet. The quad core processor, double memory at 2GB, high resolution front and rear cameras and most importantly the Full HD display with 1920 x 1200 pixels resolution, the highest in our list.

The Lenovo TAB 2 A10 has a brilliant Full HD Screen and multi-speaker Sound Bar enhanced with Dolby Atoms 3D cinema sound making it a great tablet for watching that hot TV season finale, getting in a few laps in a racing game, or listening to your favorite band’s latest album and music video.

The Tab 2 A10 is less than 9mm (.35 inch) thick for maximum portability. And it comes in a brilliant, Midnight Blue color that stylish as well as functional.

What Owners Are Saying

We picked a handful of owners and list what they think about the performance, screen, cameras, battery life and design.

Performance

I am easily frustrated by lag on tablets and “buttery” performance is one of my primary requirements (I simply cannot stand jittery web page scrolling or momentary lockups when apps are downloading and upgrading). The Tab 2 A10 is well built, performs flawlessly – NO LAG – beautiful high resolution screen, good sound and *excellent* battery life. The Dolby Atmos surround sound feature is a but overhyped, but it does actually make a difference that I appreciate and I am glad it is included

– Tom

Performance seems solid. I’ve been using it to read interactive .epubs from my Open University module and I haven’t noticed any slowdown. It’s also played nicely with Netflix, Youtube, and other streaming services. I haven’t played any demanding games on it, but I think it should handle most apps comfortably with its 1.7ghz quad core processor.

Screen

The screen is very nice and vivid, with great viewing angles. The glass used is tough enough so I would not worry about screen protector especially

– Guitar Tech

Display is fantastic. Speedy internet. Some people have complained about the dolby sound but its a tablet what do you expect with limited space for speakers. overall i have bought cheap chinese tablets but this blows them away. Thin, powerful, hd display great sound, very glad that i bought this. extremely satisfied

– Daryl J Sickler

I’m not a tablet type of person. I perfer a laptop for most stuff. However; I need this for a specific application. It was the only thing in the price range that could run the resolution I wanted. Now, I find myself using this for more and more things. The display is great, although it does get dirty quickly. I’m sure there are better units but for the price point, this is very hard to beat.

– Palico

The full HD display provides great images, and the tablet is good for gaming, watching videos, readings emails and using the Internet. The sound quality is ok. The pictures are good too. I would recommend this tablet, I think it’s good value for the money.

– Marian

Cameras

This is the best tablet for me. The specs are great and I’m amazed with the cameras too, it shoots beautiful qaulity photos. Also, the battery life is good and addition to that the tab works smoothly too.

– J Spiller

Both front and rear facing cameras are comparatively better than most tablets on the market. Photos turn out great.

– Brandon Goedhart

Camera – It is without a doubt the low point of this tablet but I don’t ever use it so I don’t really mind. It will work in a pinch or to Skype.

Battery Life

Powerful unit great screen and very nice battery life. This is my third table and it is the best one I have had.

– Mark Phillips

Battery life is pretty good though I’d recommend using a different App to keep an eye on usage & keep the system optimal

– Buyer of Stuff

I’ve been using the tablet quite extensively and battery life seems to be very good. I manage just short of 10 hours. I’ve not really tested the specified 20 day standby mode because I use it everyday, but I have noticed the battery percentage hardly drops overnight, which is a good sign.

Design

The body is visually sleek and slim, yet nice to touch and not slippery from the back. ‘Blue’ color is actually very dark royal blue

– Guitar Tech

The A10 is a fairly typical filleted rectangle. The one I bought comes with an indigo plastic back with only the Lenovo logo and speaker perforations for adornment. The texture is neither slippery nor grippy. The bezels around the screen are a bit wider than more expensive tablets, but I’m OK with that, since it gives me a place to hold the tablet without activating the screen.
