Lenovo Tab3 8 - User Reviews

  • I did a factory reset, on my Lenovo tablet and shows the welcome screen but it won't let me skip the screen to go to apps or settings, it keeps saying checking Wfi connection, then it says no connections were found. I've had this tablet for about a year now it was working fine before but now got some issues....

  • I've been using this for 2 years now! No problems. I use this primarily for browsing and YouTube. I even played PUBG with this device for over 6 months. I'm satisfied with this device!

  • 2GB RAM is what i am using and its also Slow as a 🐌 snail

  • How to move apps to SD card.please suggest

  • I thought it uses a SIM card but it Wi-Fi only

  • I had mine for over a year before my Lenovo tab3 started this. Luckily enough I had the store I purchased it from 2 year warranty and got a replacement that replacement lasted only two months before it started doing something similar as the on it replaced. I think this is a common problem.

  • I want to buy TAB 3 850 Marshmallow 6.0 8'' LCD IPS screen, 16M colours MediaTek™ 1.3 GHz Quad-Core, 64-bit 2 GB Ram 16 GB internal 5/2 Camera Mass: 329 g whatsup is working and what about touch screen quality is ok or not Please advise...

  • Yeah, same here. Really this shines in the use and throw part of android tablets Defo don't buy.

  • buy a 2gb ram

  • go to network settings or more networks then set it to gsm only then select your network provider then after all that's settled set it to wcdma only. done :-)

  • I also face the same problem, but when turning off location setting, able to make the problem stop Hope Lenovo can address this issue A.S.A.P.

  • I also face the same problem.

  • i used for.more than a year, so far satisfied since im lite.user until yesterday flash update firmware, without thinking & after updated, my ntwork suddenly keep on dissapper already change to sim1 & sim2 slot still the same, any.idea how to solve?

  • not its just 1 sim

  • This tablet is a real turd. Manafcture date of July 2017, slow Mediatek garbage with **1** GB RAM. It makes using this tablet painfully slow for even light web browsing/media. I swore I'd never touch anything with Mediatek inside again, but caught this tablet on sale, and I regret buying it. Seriously though, 1GB of RAM for a tablet that was released in 2016???? Get real.

  • Can we use sim or not please inform me My problem about it is that i dont know how can i del extra file and make new folder

  • Is it duel Sim?

  • Very good and inexpensive. I took 2GB, and occupied about 1.4GB of RAM. Dump USB on the go. For the money I gave, a good investment. It does not support Whatsapp but supports Viber, FB, Instagram etc

  • can we use this tab for calling purses?

  • Can this one support 4GB? and can put sim card, right?

  • This tablet seems to be giving a lot of problems - 1. when I set up an external card as internal memory to shift my apps on it, apps such as Facebook and Skype stopped working. Every now and then an app crashes and the tab refuses to let me install FB and Skype anymore. 2. When I switch my data network from a sim1 operator to a sim2 operator, it doesn't connect to the internet at all. I have to restart the tab to get it to connect sim2 to its data network. 3. When I restart my tab, the apps that have been installed on the external card disappear. I have to manually go to settings and check external card memory usage after which apps load. As a result, if I have added any of those icons to the home screen, they disappear. Is anyone else facing any of these issues? Thanks

  • I have had an LTE model for about 2 months. Overall it is a good tablet for the price. I strongly recommend buying the LTE version as it has 2 GB RAM. Additionally it can be used as a phone. Call quality is good. About the screen. For HD resolution it is good. Decent experience for reading books and watching videos. It has Adaptive Display Custom Mode (a kind of True Tone), but automatic brightness might be erratic. If you need a FHD screen, wait for TAB 4 8, but then you will miss phone functionality. GPS is fast and precise. USB OTG works with external keyboard, mouse, flash memory. The tablet can be connected to a PC and Mac as an external storage. SD card should be formatted as an external storage. First I formated it as internal storage, but then the tablet became abnormally slow, and icons tended to disappear for the apps which were moved to SD. First I had a terrible experience with the YouTube app. The video was stuttering, so I even used TubeMate for having a normal experience. After factory reset I managed to delete the pre-installed YouTube app and to replace it with the one from the Play store. Now all YouTube videos can be played without any problems. And as it is usual for any Lenovo product - no updates. It is July, but the security patch level is of January 2017.

  • It does if you have the LTE + WLAN model.

  • Read my review from May. As of now, I've had it two months. Definitely not a professional class tab to take to the office, but for simple home use, and for just $89.00 plus tax at Office Depot, pretty dang good. Great display!! Holds power like a champ!!

  • Hey everyone i need to buy a tablet for home use. Can you suggest whether Lenovo tab 38 is worth buying? I mean, is it really good? If not, please suggest some other tablet. Thanks a million!

  • In Tab with onely wifi connectivity, you can not download WhatsApp application from Play Store. So you can transfer WhatsApp application from any other mobile using shareit or x sender.

  • Easy ... TAKE IT BACK ... for a replacement

  • I bought the device last year on october, and it keep restarting on its own since last three months. any of you have the same problem? How to solve it? I've tried hard resetLfactory reset, but it didnt work.

  • Bought one this past weekend. Runs very smooth. Very little on the way of bloatware. Watch out, because Office Depot carries Model Number 170001, and Walmart carries 170003. Nice experience overall, but the shortest power cord I've ever seen.

  • Where can I download some drivers or app to manage it from windows?

  • No, not all like mine does not have a sim card port.

  • There are two models of Tab 3 8'', one have slot for sim one not. If you wont find sim slot under cover for sd memory card then you don't have LTE

  • Yes

  • Remove the Lenovo logo back right top

  • Does anyone know how to insert sim card in Lenovo TAB3 8"?

  • Hello everybody! I need this tablet to navigation principally for navigation, and i need to know is that real tablet, is there good gps signal. Thank you!

  • Yes of course you can do it brother

  • I have one and it can make phone calls pretty well, Mobile data is well working on 3G & 4G networks.. It's a good one allover, I have only the problem with the touch screen that it becomes much less responsive and heavy when I put any screen protector., So that I have to use it without protector.

  • Can a SIM Card be put in this device to enable mobile data?

  • Sorry messenger only not whatsapp, too complicated to try and install that one.

  • This does not make telephone calls as it is not a mobile phone. You can however make wifi based calls on messenger or whatsapp. The sim card slots are for data plans so that you can still use it without wi-fi.

  • Yes, it has 2 sim card slot.

  • Does it make calls?

When you remove holder turn it around and you will see two places when you can fit two mini sim cards.

With unlimited data sim wif only 3g line, im able to download abt 5 to 7 movie a day, stream without any lag, in the future dont know yet as we all know almost everyday got app update on app store will consume storage which only 16gb,

  • Outlook is very good tab 8. It should be better if 1.5/2.0 gh.
