THERE’S A NEW TABLET IN TOWN — LENOVO RUMORED TO RELEASE THE TAB3 8 PLUS

THERE’S A NEW TABLET IN
TOWN — LENOVO RUMORED
TO RELEASE THE TAB3 8 PLUS 

Not pleased with the current bevy of tablet

options? You may soon be getting another

from Lenovo. Images of the Lenovo Tab3 8

Plus have now been leaked, and according

to reports, the device will feature an 8-inch

Full-HD display, 3GB of RAM, and three

unique storage combinations with microSD

card support.

This latest tablet is an upgrade over its

original line of economical tablets released

back in February. The 8 Plus will be much

like its predecessor (the 8), but with a few

notable upgrades. Both the Full-HD panel

and the amount of RAM are improvements

over the original Lenovo Tab3 8, but there

are a number of other leaked specs we can

share as well — the Plus will allegedly boast

an 8MP main camera with LED flash, a 5MP

front camera, and feature 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, and

Bluetooth connectivity, per leaks.

But perhaps most notably, the Lenovo Tab3

8 Plus will have a much newer chipset.

Abandoning the quad-core MediaTek one

found in the old model, Lenovo is now using

an Octa-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625

processor. Not only is this a faster

processor, but it’s also constructed using “a

superior 14nm process,” as GSM Arena

reports. It’s also an unusual choice for a

relatively budget tablet, and should also

greatly improve the battery life of the new

tablet.

Reports suggest that the device will still

maintain a relatively sleek design despite all

these improvements, weighing in at just 330

grams and measuring just 7.97 millimeters

thick. It’s unclear how much the 8 Plus will

cost, but it will likely be a bit more than the

Tab3 8, which originally set consumers back

$149 for the LTE model. We’ve yet to see

whether the other two tablets in the family

(the Lenovo Tab3 7 and Lenovo Tab3 10)

will also have Plus units of their own
