Lenovo has officially started selling its A-Series of tablets in the U.S., making all three slates available for purchase through its online store.
Just last month, Lenovo promised that it would soon start selling its A-Series tablets in the U.S., and the company is now making good on its promise. The trio of tablets have now hit commercial availability, each with its own goodies to offer.
The Lenovo A7, A8, and A10 tablets pack 1.3GHz MediaTek MT8121 ARM Cortex-A7 quad-core processors, 1200 x 800 IPS displays, 1GB of RAM, and all run Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. In terms of connectivity options, all three models support Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0, micro USB ports, and micro SD card slots for additional memory.
The biggest difference between the three slates consists of display size and battery life. Of course, pricing is also different for each model.
The 7-inch model, i.e. the Lenovo A7, comes in two versions: the basic model has 8GB of internal storage capacity, a 2-megapixel front camera, but no rear shooter, and retails for $129, while the second variant has 16GB of internal storage capacity, a 5-megapixel rear camera, a 2-megapixel front shooter, and costs $139. The Lenovo A7 has a 3,450 mAh battery that should provide up to 7.5 hours of use on a single charge.
The 8-inch slate, the Lenovo A8, features both front- and rear-cameras, 16GB of internal storage capacity, and a larger 4,200 mAh battery for up to 8 hours of use. Lenovo lists this slate with a $180 price tag, but you can get it for $155 from Amazon, as Liliputing points out.
Lastly, the Lenovo A10 is the largest of the bunch, sporting a 10-inch display as the name itself suggests. This tablet also comes with front- and rear-cameras, and boasts a larger 6,340 mAh battery that should provide up to 9 hours of run time on a single charge. Lenovo is selling this model for $250, but Amazon is listing it for $220.
With its latest A-series tablets, Lenovo aims to cater to the low-end tablet market, targeting budget-conscious shoppers who want a capable tablet without drawing a huge hole through their wallet.
