Lenovo announces 5 new Android tablets, including the first running Go Edition

-

Android tablets have never been entirely convincing, and with the introduction of Chrome OS tablets, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Android slates were going to go away completely. That may well be the long-term plan but it didn't stop Samsung from trying their luck with the Galaxy Tab S4. Now, Lenovo is releasing a fleet of new large-screen Android devices.

No fewer than five new tablets were announced by Lenovo today, with two distinct ranges. On the family and wallet-friendly end, there's the E series, consisting of seven, eight, and ten-inch models. For more demanding tech types, there are two higher specced models as well.

Lenovo Tab E7, Tab E8 and Tab E10

The cheapest of the new models is the Tab E7. It's the first Android Go Edition (Oreo) tablet we've come across, which explains the $70 price tag. Lenovo claims this will mean "lighter apps, more storage out of the box, and much-improved performance," the last of those points being awfully optimistic.

The E7 has a display resolution of just 1040 x 600, a 2MP rear camera, 0.3MP VGA front lens, and a "vibrator." A MediaTek MT8163B (1.3 GHz) runs the show alongside 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage (expandable). The 2,750mAh battery should be good enough for 5 hours of playback or browsing, according to Lenovo. See the full spec sheet.

Just barely more impressive is the Tab E8, or at least it would be if it didn't run Nougat. It's got the same processor, memory, and storage as the E7, but with an 8-inch 1280 x 800 screen and improved 5MP/2MP cameras. It will apparently last for 10 hours thanks to its 4,850mAh battery. See the full spec sheet.

The largest of the budget range is the Tab E10, which also runs Android Go Edition (Oreo). You might expect the 10-inch display to improve on the E8's resolution, but you'd be wrong. It does pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 chip and up to 2GB of RAM (there are two SKUs). It also has the same cameras and the same battery as the E8, which manages only 7 hours in this device. See the full spec sheet.

Lenovo Tab M10 and Tab P10

For those who need something more powerful, there are also two models with more exciting specs. The Tab M10 has a Full HD 110-inch IPS panel (1920 x 1200), a Snapdragon 450 (Octa-core, 1.8GHz), 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage (expandable). Dual front speakers with Dolby Atmos should ensure this is good for media consumption, and it's also pretty portable at 8.1mm thin and 480g. It also runs the full version of Android Oreo. See the full spec sheet.

The best of the bunch is the Tab P10, which is even sleeker at 7mm thick and 440g, with a shiny glass back. It's got the same SD450 chip, but upgrades to 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage (expandable). Other selling points are a fingerprint sensor and four Dolby Atmos speakers for improved sound. The cameras are also better here, with 8MP on the rear and 5MP on the front. It also has the biggest battery at 7,000mAh, promising 15 hours playback time. See the full spec sheet.

Nano SIM slots are present for the E7, M10, and P10. See Pricing and availability below:

  • Tab E7 - $69.99 - available starting in October exclusive to Walmart.com.
  • Tab E8 - $99.99 - available now in Walmart stores.
  • Tab E10 - $129.99 - available starting in October in Walmart stores and select retailers.
  • Tab M10 and Tab P10 - available for pre-order starting this winter from Amazon.

Samsung has already opened Galaxy Note 9 pre-orders in just about every part of the world, so there are plenty of offers to choose from.

[Update: More details from internal email] Essential reportedly cancels second phone, puts itself up for sale

According to Bloomberg , Essential, an up-and-coming phone manufacturer, is reportedly calling it quits, canceling its second phone and putting out a "For Sale" sign. The company, founded by Android's creator Andy Rubin, has supposedly hired an outside firm to advise it on a potential sale, with one suitor allegedly showing interest. The Essential Phone, or the PH-1, was a phone focused on physical beauty, despite the deep notch at the top of the display for the front camera and sensors. Despite its problems, it gained a small but loyal following, many of whom were anxiously waiting for Essential's sophomore phone (PH-2?). Those dreams look to be crushed now, with Rubin's company canceling its second device. Bloomberg 's source claims that the engineers, some of whom came from Apple and Google, will likely be a part of the sale, but Essential is still trying to make a decision.  Bloomberg  also reports that Essential is pivoting to the smart home

TCL-owned alcatel has unveiled its newest flagship offering today, the 5V. The phone comes with a 6.2-inch 19:9 notched display with 720x1500 resolution, an 88% screen-to-body ratio, and 2.5D Dragontrail glass on top. The alcatel 5V has a dual 12 MP + 2 MP rear camera system with dual-tone LED flash, with the secondary sensor being used only for depth information, enabling bokeh effects. The main snapper has 1.25μm pixels and 1/2.8" size, and the camera software can do things like AI scene detection, burst shot, HDR, real-time bokeh, and it also contains electronic image stabilization and Google Lens (which tries to identify the things you're pointing the camera at). The selfie shooter is an 8 MP unit with 1.12μm pixels and 1/4" sensor size. Of course you get stuff such as face beautification, real-time photo and video filters, and even something called Social Mode (with Instant Collage, Photo Booth, and Easy Share). The handset is powered by MediaTek's He
