awesome review as ALWAYS. PLEASE tell me why did you say you would'nt go that far and declare this tablet as one of the best 8" tablets to buy ?? what do you think is better than this ?? i am looking for an 8" tablet with a great battery life and i find this one very good but you got me curious when you said that. so what do you recommend over this one ??
shahem enjary, Do some research. No one but yourself can decide which tablet is best for you. The tab 3 plus is considerably cheaper. So I think the tab 3 plus gives you more bang for the bug. But if you want the extras go for this one.
Lenovo XiaoXin (Tab4 Plus) review. Android 7.1.1 tablet from Lenovo with 4GB of RAM, Snapdragon 625 and 10 hours SOT. Where to buy: goo.gl/6eBXZV 9% off coupon 219cb8 My top 3 Android tablets: czcams.com/video/rfW2CLaj5CA/video.html
Try "Open Camera" the lenovo and many other tablets can do 60 FPS instead of the stock 30fps with the stock app and the pulsing goes away. Open Camera is free with no adds and is open source and can be found in the google play store.
Great review as usual. An idea why lenovo stopped implementing the compass function : most people will use a protecting case with their lenovo tablet. They work really well with that tablet but they have magnet in them. Those magnets interfere with the compass.
It's nice that it runs the sd625, which means that most of the device source and kernel is available for devs to develop roms including me :) when Lenovo would dich that device.
I have the lenovo tab 4 8 plus(US version) it was supposed to be a good tablet till I found out that the US version has only 2GB of ram. It's a real shame to see such an admirable CPU bottlenecked by this low amount of RAM.
@@yassinsmaamoun no YOU didn't understand. he was referring to the version that he reviewed with 4gb when he typed "this version", not the crap 2gb ram version that you bought. there is also a 3gb version strangely - which runs quite well.
This review shows once again how efficient that 625 chipset is.. I bought Xiaomi Mipad 3 around 3 months ago( I know you were highly against that model) but since your review they announced MIUI 9 ROM for the tablet which works flawlessly. And with a discount code I got it for 205 $ which was a steal for that price I think. But even Mipad 3 has same screen size as this Lenovo, maybe because of slightly higher resolution but I think mainly because of Mediatek chipset, SoT reaches maximum 8-9 hours which is real shame since it has a huge 6600 mah battery. I guess if Xiaomi would use Snapdragon 625 , it would be the battery king of all tablets in its category.
That tablet was such a mess on first release, the ROM was such a buggy nightmare. Maybe I should re-review it. But yes if they could release a SD625 or 636 version I would be all over it. The 625 is an overused chipset maybe but it is one of my favorite ARM SoC's it's got an almost perfect balance of features, power and super efficient. And has powered my main phone for a year now (Mi Max 2)
Mario Ray Mahardhika actually my main reason to buy a tablet was for media consumption, a lot of reading and CZcams. And to be fair Mipad 3 performance is quite good. I bought Lenovo P2 for my father recently so I know how Snapdragon 625 performs, this Mediatek chipset definitely performs better than Snapdragon 625. So performance gain but lower battery performance. If you can find a deal like I did, I think Xiaomi Mipad 3 is still a very good tablet for the price ( it looks good as well :) )
Seçkin Güvenç yes, in that case it should be fine. My disappointment with mediatek is that they don't fully open their source code while their GPU drivers are buggy, making the tablet unusable as gaming machine.
Mario Ray Mahardhika yeah I wouldn't recommend this tablet for games, it stutters many times during a heavy game. I don't play any games at all so it's fine for me. And you are right about Mediatek, there are not even any useful kernels to get full control over this chipset
If you want a cheap tablet, get a second hand dell venue 11 pro m5 or i5 or i3 CPU, 11 inch, great speakers 1080p , 120gb SD card, SIM card, very bright, got mine for 180 (140 for i3 version) pounds UK 6 month warranty
Great tablets the Venue 11 Pro was my first 2-in-1 that really got me hooked, but not without issues. I had the two different keyboards, the dock Atom and i5 versions in the end.
I hope they do, I'll be watching for their future models. I hope they use a SD 660 or even the new SD636 with LTE and compass support.

hi. Did you try on video editing app on this tablet? Like kinemaster? Just wondering the highest resolution you can import and export on this? Coz i am looking for a budget tablet for video editing.
I bought the same tablet TB-8804F but I'm having trouble getting Google Apps on it. My unit has "PRC" build installed on it instead of "ROW". I'm afraid they have done something in PRC build to restrict Google Apps installation. Everytime I any Google App, it keeps crashing. Can you please help, what should I do? I would really appreciate if you can at least provide me the specific versions of Google Accounts Manager, Google Services Framework, Google Play services and Google Play store running on your unit? PLEASE!!! I'm in a bad situation!
Question: You mention in the description it's a Tab 4 Plus, but at the end of the video you said why not check out the Tab 4 plus? IIs this a Tab 4 Plus? also what would you recommend for gaming / you tube Tab 3 + or Tab 4 +?
Hi Chris. I recently bought this Xiaoxin tablet but it came with the TB-8704F firmware. The CZcams app doesn’t work so I’m trying to see if you know any solution or tips for flashing my tablet to the ROM that your tablet came with.
Seems to me the Teclast T8 Master (currently at $189) is a better buy? Or do you recommend this over that? The Teclast lacks the Snapdragon -- yet -- you didn't say the touch interface was laggy. And it has a significantly higher resolution.
They are both great tablets. The Lenovo has much better audio and slightly better battery life, only touch on the Lenovo seems to lag when scrolling in Chrome. So maybe a Chrome issue with the tablet? But the T8 is a better buy as it's cheaper (Much cheaper)
Hi.. i have my Chuwi vi10 pro still running :) but i have a doubt at this moment, i will have to travel and i wonder which system should i use to view local media.. windows 10 or android 4.4 :\ any suggestion for me to test the battery for this?
Nice review. Thanks. In the intro you say this tab is similar to Lenovo tab 3 8 plus. Shouldn't it be Lenovo tab 4 8 plus? The former has a smaller battery and a GB less RAM. No fingerprint sensor.
I still have an old Xiaomi Mi Pad 1 With Lineage OS 13. With battery worn out to 5000mah 2/16 and 28. However still very powerful and performs quite good, but not without occasional lags. So I wonder, how does Lenovo XiaoXin do against Mi Pad 1? Is it worthy to make a change?
Is it possible to port the rom from this to the tab 3+?!? It's asking for a High price while both of them are quite same... And 7.0/7.1 is a must for tablets because of the multitasking ability.
Easy, I test from where I record (one room from the wifi router) and see the speeds. Then move to the far side of the apartment and test again (same server) and see the drop in speed. Some tablets with the same test lost 60-80% speed, others like this Lenovo did really well.
Sir can u give me advice between chuwi i9 8inch or teclast t10?i only need it for gaming only I was late to buy it at 200$ backthen...thanks sir i love your videos keep up sir
Both have the same CPU, RAM and screen res, so should be good for gaming. I can only speak for the Master T10 I've reviewed and it's a great tablet. The Hi9 I hope to get next week.
Yep, listed as a con, it will drop the price I'm sure. If you're going for the Surbook, wait for the Surbook Pro with a Gemini Lake Celeron N4100 it should be a lot faster.
TechTablets.com it's not spot on (you spelled "xing" instead of "xin". Xin should be said "seen"). But hey that's better than most people. Most can't even spell xiaomi
TechTablets.com okay xD. Me and my country are a bit different. Everyone is fond of developed countries (america, europe in general) so most can at least speak broken english. My family are from China (though we don't understand Chinese anymore. The first settlers to Indonesia is like 200 years ago) so i can learn Chinese rather quickly. And Japanese spelling is almost the same as my native language. So with that, i can speak indonesian, english, Spell Japanese and chinese xD
You are spanish? I know you live in Spain but I've never heard this accent. I call tell my spanish friends are spanish just by hearing, but I can't do the same to you.
Yes, it's too expensive at the moment. But a laptop that has touch, GPS. And is 300 grams, 7.9mm thin, and runs for 10 hours :) Laptops and tablets are built for different uses. Can't compare them like that, but I do see what you're getting at.
TechTablets.com at the moment all phones have GPS, so having tow devices with GPS will not make much difference. We can compare it with the ezbook 3 pro. This laptop is even cheaper than this tablet, has full windows experience (huge advantage), 13.3 inch screen, 6 GB ram, better procesor, battery lasts relative long (6-8 hours?) and it is also thin (2-3 mm thickens more will not be the end of the world)
Haha 小新 (Xiaoxin) is not 小心( Xiaoxin) . The former is actually a name for a kid, like Shinchan. The latter means Watch Out. I think Xiaoxin tablet is Lenovo's take on the lite version of such devices, this probably being the lite version of Lenovo tab 4 8plus. Huawei's devices also have lite versions , they are called 青春版 (chinchun Ban in English sound) which means the Youth (chinchun) version (ban). Hope it helps 😃

TechTablets.com great review, which is the aspect ratio?
Try "Open Camera" the lenovo and many other tablets can do 60 FPS instead of the stock 30fps with the stock app and the pulsing goes away. Open Camera is free with no adds and is open source and can be found in the google play store.
Will give it a go, for reviews I also stick to stock apps for the camera and stock ROM's etc. But I'll take a look now.
16:10 aspect ratio
Great review as usual.

I wish that more CZcamsrs would review products as honestly as your channel does
Me too! The trouble is my style of review isn't fancy, commercial like or sells the tech.
@@Techtablets Good luck, then! I also appreciate this honest style. Don't change!
CJ
this device is just an upgrade of Lenovo P8 (TB-8703F > TB-8804F) in android, ram, etc ...
Nice device with very good characteristics ...
It's nice that it runs the sd625, which means that most of the device source and kernel is available for devs to develop roms including me :) when Lenovo would dich that device.

At least you have this version then with 4GB of RAM, real shame they crippled the US version. What a stupid move!
TechTablets.com you didn't understand, I have the 2gb version 😭
Is that the only difference, ram?
@@yassinsmaamoun no YOU didn't understand. he was referring to the version that he reviewed with 4gb when he typed "this version", not the crap 2gb ram version that you bought. there is also a 3gb version strangely - which runs quite well.

Mediatek chipset is the reason I skipped Mi Pad 3. They seem to have stopped using Mediatek at all for phones, so hopefully Mi Pad 4 will follow.

买了联想的一台笔记本，大概一年后开始漏电，之后又买了yoga tablet 一代，结果系统维护就是提供两次三次更新，而且越更体验越差，性价还不高，各种失望，从此联想不在我的购买范围了~
Chris thank you great review. Hopefully they will release a version with compass and 4G/LTE.
I hope they do, I'll be watching for their future models. I hope they use a SD 660 or even the new SD636 with LTE and compass support.

Still good for 2019? Considering this. The ppi is 283 right?
Question: You mention in the description it's a Tab 4 Plus, but at the end of the video you said why not check out the Tab 4 plus? IIs this a Tab 4 Plus?
also what would you recommend for gaming / you tube Tab 3 + or Tab 4 +?
I think this is a good replacement for the Nvidia shield k1
Great video!
Hi Chris. I recently bought this Xiaoxin tablet but it came with the TB-8704F firmware. The CZcams app doesn’t work so I’m trying to see if you know any solution or tips for flashing my tablet to the ROM that your tablet came with.
considering buying this, how does it compare to the huawei m5 8.4"? It seems the huawei is more expensive but should i save some cash and get this?
Seems to me the Teclast T8 Master (currently at $189) is a better buy? Or do you recommend this over that? The Teclast lacks the Snapdragon -- yet -- you didn't say the touch interface was laggy. And it has a significantly higher resolution.

Thanks Sir. I used an Anker Bluetooth SoundCore 2 for audio.

Yes you're right should be the tab4 plus, later one I do say it's like the tab4 plus
Can u suggest or review which is the most practical Dual OS tablet .
Thanking you in anticipation
What is the spec of USB type-c here? 2.0?
USB 2.0 - No display output at all.
I still have an old Xiaomi Mi Pad 1 With Lineage OS 13. With battery worn out to 5000mah 2/16 and 28. However still very powerful and performs quite good, but not without occasional lags. So I wonder, how does Lenovo XiaoXin do against Mi Pad 1? Is it worthy to make a change?
Does it have 4g lte?
Is it possible to port the rom from this to the tab 3+?!?
It's asking for a High price while both of them are quite same... And 7.0/7.1 is a must for tablets because of the multitasking ability.
In theory yes, but not sure of locked bootloaders, where to get the ROM download etc.
Hi! Are there Tablets out there that have an SIM Slot and you can Phone over it like an real Smart Phone?
Yes, my main phone is almost a tablet I carry around with me for phone and tablet needs. The Xiaomi Mi Max 2
For taking notes: Which Capacitive stylus is recommended?. Greetings from PR.
Another great review. Is there a chance for Vernee X review?
Lenoo xiaoxin tb or Teclast t8? Performance and quality for games.
this looks very similar to the international version of their Tab 4 8 Plus
Yes they are almost identical the only difference is the camera layout on the rear
Quick question: Does this tablet has a sim card slot?
How dou you test the signal range?
Easy, I test from where I record (one room from the wifi router) and see the speeds. Then move to the far side of the apartment and test again (same server) and see the drop in speed. Some tablets with the same test lost 60-80% speed, others like this Lenovo did really well.
A bit overpriced, might as well get Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus for around 200 USD.
Sir can u give me advice between chuwi i9 8inch or teclast t10?i only need it for gaming only
I was late to buy it at 200$ backthen...thanks sir i love your videos keep up sir
Both have the same CPU, RAM and screen res, so should be good for gaming. I can only speak for the Master T10 I've reviewed and it's a great tablet. The Hi9 I hope to get next week.
TechTablets.com waiting for your reviews on chuwi i9 sir,:thumbsup :thumbsup
Will a USB type C HDMI work in that tablet?
250 dollars for device with sn625,4gb/64gb i think is a bit expensive
Bro this tablet is only wifi?
Couldn't spring the 10 cents to add a light censor? C'mon guys!
Seems not, sad they did that.
Is this a sim tablet?
Please review most practical dual boot tablets
Wait- it has a microphone? 😵 I've been searching all over my tablet for a microphone but never found it 😂
No way to install the original rom?
Is it available in India
God the Chinese are addicted to S625. Annoying as in my use I found it 99% capable but the 1% annoyed me. If only there were S660 devices coming.
255 USD?. That's too much. Would just rather go big and get the surbook
Yep, listed as a con, it will drop the price I'm sure. If you're going for the Surbook, wait for the Surbook Pro with a Gemini Lake Celeron N4100 it should be a lot faster.
Yeah, Probably just the usual early mark-up price. New Surbook Pro ?, i miss that one, thanks for the info.
I think it's coming in March or late feb, Chuwi just announced it.
white front panel looks like a cheap device
There should be a black version, I like the black better also, just like my Lenovo P8
At last you pronounce something in Chinese well 😂
Did I? I thought I killed it with bad pronunciation. Only took like 4 takes :D
TechTablets.com it's not spot on (you spelled "xing" instead of "xin". Xin should be said "seen"). But hey that's better than most people. Most can't even spell xiaomi
Okay thanks, I'll stick to English and Spanish! Chinese & Japanese seem crazy hard to me.
TechTablets.com okay xD. Me and my country are a bit different. Everyone is fond of developed countries (america, europe in general) so most can at least speak broken english.

You are spanish? I know you live in Spain but I've never heard this accent. I call tell my spanish friends are spanish just by hearing, but I can't do the same to you.
It’s decent for normal usage I think.
Sure is!
$250 is too much. You can get a laptop with that money.
Yes, it's too expensive at the moment. But a laptop that has touch, GPS. And is 300 grams, 7.9mm thin, and runs for 10 hours :) Laptops and tablets are built for different uses. Can't compare them like that, but I do see what you're getting at.

TechTablets.com one more thing, most of phones at the moment have a screen close to 6 inch, which make the tablets (7-8 inch) with no real purpose. :)
review alfawise tab please
Here before million views 😂
So basically, this tab battery cant beat the xiaomi mi max 2 battery
No it can't it's larger in size yet has a smaller battery than the Mi Max 2. I'm looking forward to the Mi Max 3
TechTablets.com this tab has powerful processor than mi max 2 ?
Same CPU, Snapdragon 625
TechTablets.com which one worth the money ? This tab or xiaomi mi max 2?
No HDMI, a big fail esp for that price.
It's odd they didn't add HDMI, an ambient light sensor or a compass (Lenovo Tab3 Plus / P8 has a compass)
The meaning of XiaoXin in Chinese is be careful.
So it's the Lenovo be careful? Haha what are they trying to tell us :D
Haha 小新 (Xiaoxin) is not 小心( Xiaoxin) . The former is actually a name for a kid, like Shinchan. The latter means Watch Out.
