At MWC 2015, Lenovo presented a duo of A-series tablets, targeting a price range between $130 - $199 for the basic Wi-Fi models. The flagship product is the Lenovo TAB 2 A10, a 10-inch slate powered by 64-bit quad-core MediaTek silicon with 2GB of RAM. Its 10.1-inch IPS LCD screen runs on 1080p resolution, and its large 7200mAh battery is up for 10 hours of uninterrupted usage! All that from a tablet that's 8.9mm thick and weights 509 grams. This is also the first Android tablet to feature ATMOS cynema-style sound. The Lenovo TAB 2 A10 runs Android 4.4 KitKat, but it will be updated to Lollipop in June. It will debut in April, costing $199 for the base Wi-Fi model, and $279 for the base LTE model. The tablet will be sold in Pearl White and Midnight Blue.
Next up is the Lenovo TAB 2 A8, with an 8-inch 720p IPS display, a 64-bit quad-core MediaTek 8161 processor with 1GB of RAM, 16GB of expandable storage, and a battery life of up to 8 hours thanks to its 4200mAh unit. The tablet runs Android 5.0 out of the box. It's also a Dolby ATMOS 3D-supporting device that's 8.9mm thin, but weights under 360 grams. It has a dual-SIM model as well, enabling both GSM voice and 4G LTE data, so it can be your tablet AND smartphone if you like the idea. The TAB 2 A8 will be sold in June 2015, with Wi-Fi models starting from $129 and LTE models starting from $179. The color options are Pearl White, Ebony, Midnight Blue, and Neon Pink.

Since many people use their tablet for relaxing with digital content, users will love the tablet’s 10.1-in FHD screen, making it easy to get close to the gaming action or watch movies in brilliantly sharp resolution.

Running AndroidTM 4.4 with a MediaTek quad core processor, the tablet now ups the performance of its predecessor with lightning-fast LTE connectivity, dual band Wi-Fi and an 8-megapixel rear camera. It
comes in two enticing color choices: Pearl White or Midnight Blue. And with pricing starting at less than $200 USD, Lenovo is reshaping the relationship between price and value.

TAB 2 A8 – Essential Companion for Staying Connected
Recognizing that one tablet doesn’t fit all needs, we created the 8-in entry TAB 2 A8. This HD tablet caters to those who want to stay connected at a wallet-friendly price or who juggle multiple needs using one device. Starting at just $129 USD (WiFi models), the TAB 2 A8 can handle the most frequent personal connectivity tasks with ease, from updating social media to video chatting. Even lighter than the TAB 2 A10-70 at 360 grams and just as thin, the TAB 2 A8 lasts through an entire eight-hour work day without plugging in and features a dual SIM card slot for voice and LTE for data. And like the TAB 2 A10-70, this 8-in tablet packages affordability with LTE high speed wireless technology, a feature typically
unexpected in an entry level tablet. Proving that good sound can indeed come in small packages, the TAB 2 A8 caters to media junkies with Dolby Atmos, a moving audio experience over headphones where sound seems to come from all directions, including overhead, putting users inside the action. Shutterbugswill also enjoy using the TAB 2 A8’s 5-megapixel rear camera to take sharp resolution photos. Responding to customer feedback and demand, we designed the TAB 2 A8 as our first tablet to run Android 5.0 Lollipop in pure form. Like its bigger brother, the TAB 2 A8 also features a MediaTek 64-bit Quad Core processor. It also features up to 32 GB of storage via a microSD card and comes in four distinctly fun color options: Pearl White, Ebony, Midnight Blue or Neon Pink.
