Lenovo Tab S8 - User Reviews

  • My Lenovo TAB S8 has Android 5.0.1 official :)

  • My tab s8 can't open Facebook app It is appear messages (soory Facebook stop) Please help me

  • My lenovo tab S8 50lc detects only two sim specified sim cards jio is not detected help me

  • i forgot my pattern is there anyway to open the tab without losing my data ? btw Usb debugging is not enabled and the tap use stock rom with no twrp mode or clockworkmod .

  • how can i downgrade from Lollipop To Kitkat which is original System ?

  • at last found a working solution watch this youtube video

  • Do you get Lenovo S8 tab on Marschmilo 6.0

  • Explain that please ?

  • While playing some games it is loosing internet connection for no reason. Any Idea what could cause this?

  • I am getting an attention as 4g (FDD LTE) is unusable in current area, while using Jio sim in s8 Lenovo tab. Can anyone suggest how to go about and can we use 4g sim for browsing

  • Absolutelly awesome. For this pricepoint ist's the best tablet you can buy. Very smooth, fast. The battery isn't his best feature, bet the rest is worth the money.

  • Product is very smooth but problem when go to service centre...spare parts costing too high and on one chance to or like to repair from lenovo service centre due to poor lenovo spare parts costing policy for exiting customer. I have experinced lenovo tab S8-50LC model and others also same unlucky like me ...just spent 345 Rupees inspection charges then you get price quotation link over your mail and price has disided by company not service centre .If you accept /reject options and if you wish to repair then pay and repair ...so company have won accountability about customers acceptance about repair or not ...but maximum are not due to budget of parts price just 2/3 of total price....either company just ignor this matter !! ultimate I have three products mobile nd tabs but IN FUTURE NEVER PURCHES HIGH END PRODUCTS FROM LENOVO DUE TO POOR POLICY.

  • hard reset your TAB and it will work perfectly.

  • After 8 months the battery is not charging. Returned and avail the warranty but the battery still working abnormal. Cannot charge in power off mode, it needs to charge in power ON" mode and not reach 100 percent only 85 percent. Drained fast also. Poor quality.

  • What can I say- don't buy this tablet. After using 1.5 year tablet get too many problems even after upgrade to 5.0.

  • What can I say- don't buy this tablet. After using 1.5 year tablet get too many problems even after upgrade to 5.0.

  • Any news on Marshmallow or Nougat for this device?

  • If you have lenovo ta s8 50lc (50lc=the LTE variant) yo can use Jio 4g data only and for calling u can use Jio 4g voice app. proof I have replied you using jio4g network on the tablet myself.please sign on change.org for marshmallow on lenovo tab s8.

  • No

  • Yes,data only for calling and massage use jio 4g app

  • Sir may I use jio 4g sim in lenovo tab s8

  • Let's try to help us with -change.org Android update for Lenovo tablets petition

  • If intel drpped support for atom lineup it doesn't means that they can't give update because 1.CyanogenMod have given approx stable update of marshmallow to Asus ze551ml (Intel inside) 2.asus also have given their version of marshmallow 3.as I know and it's true that Lenovo is working with CyanogenMod officially on their zuk lineup so atleast they can give marshmallow from cm team 4.there is a website which have realised open-source Android nougat (7.0) codes for x86 devices intel=x86 so Lenovo can try to give marshmallow for s8 tablet. Sorry,And no offense for you

  • How can I update my lenovo s8-50lc to lollipop?teach me please,in Malaysia is it KitKat was latest version now?

  • Lenovo doesn't give Marshmallow update because it's an Intel Tablet and Intel stopped supporting Android. When Intel gives example image for Bay Trail boards to Lenovo, Lenovo might give it an update.

  • Lenovo tab s8 Lollipop get's "53k" on antutu (v6.2.1) more than k4(36k) note and k3 note marshmallow get's(49k) .Even with better performance and support for larger apps why did Lenovo isn't giving marshmallow update.

  • Battery is fine on my daughters tabs (have 2 of these) they easily last a day (even with them using it a lot! I suggest you factory reset I've read of issues after updating to lollipop with battery, and factory resetting fixes it (or at least improves it).

  • I think the biggest problem for this tablet is very very bad battery . I charge this tablet 2 time in day with light use .

  • Some users have experienced problems with Lollipop update but for me, everything's good :) Go ahead, it's much better than KitKat, in my opinion :) There's still little hope that S8 will get MM or even Nougat but i'm not holding my breath.

  • So guys should I update to lollipop??

  • Plz provide us upgrades of marshmallow

  • Is Lenovo working on MARSHMALLOW for tab s8 according to the link (https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Android-bas­ed-Tablets-and/ANDROID-MARSHMALLOW-FOR-TAB-S8-50­/m-p/3400661) please find out for us

  • Found this on Googling (https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Android-bas­ed-Tablets-and/ANDROID-MARSHMALLOW-FOR-TAB-S8-50­/m-p/3400661) this is dated 23 Aug and I can't access the page because of "insufficient privileges" so someone please try to open this page

  • Android lollipop in this tab is not 64bit still 32bit. nought released flood Lenovo site with update request cause this tab deserves it

  • I have 2 of these for my daughter's (WiFi only) and they're both on Marshmallow, albeit not since the Feb Security Update.

  • The most realistic answer is never but optimistic answer would be... maybe end of 2016/early next year? Lenovo's tablet support is pretty pathetic as they seem to focus on their phones more when it comes to updates. Now waiting for the impossible to happen, MM or Nougat for S8-50 *sigh*

  • When can we expect Marshmallow or Nougat on the s8-50 ? The system update matrix on the Lenovo support website hasn't been updated for over a year, which leads me to believe that Lenovo has abandoned the tab-s8. All in all I think that Lenovo only wanted to push only one update from a 32bit android 4.4.2 KitKat to the 64bit Android 5.0 Lollipop and then draw drew the line there without having a care in the world to inform us. They could at least put on the update matrix list 'software support expired' for the tab-s8. I'm never buying Lenovo again!!!

  • Depends on if you have 4G model ot just WiFi... ...if you have 4G model, SIM card/MicroSD slot is in the top left side.

  • How to put sim card ?

  • I updated to Lollipop and i'm glad i did... no problems whatsoever here but i've read that not all were so lucky. I hope this tablet will skip MM and will still be updated to Nougat but i don't hold my breath.

  • Is there calling option or not

  • hw to post trll me

  • Brilliant! Screen, sound, weight/sleekness, speed, reliability over 2 years...etc Battery just average, DONT update from 4.4 KK. Why would you want to?? You've been warned. Don't be a geek!

  • Does Lenovo S8-50f support 3g browsing either through sim or single? Can any one please clarify this?

  • The smartest tab ever

  • Haha, who's brave enough to call? :P I hate doing phone calls and my main language is not english either.

  • Contact to lenovo via calling they will answer all questions

  • Amen, brother!

  • Please Lenovo company update for lollipop or marsh mallow version. It can be helpful to increase Lenovo sales.

  • Whatever happened to Marshmallow????

  • What on earth is Lenovo doing????? I have a Lenovo Tab S8-50 here which is almost 2 years old and has STILL not seen an upgrade to Android 6.0 Marshmallow NOR the new Android 7.0 Nougat. A quad core 1.86Ghz cpu and 2Gb RAM is MORE than enough to run Marshmallow and I would ridicule anyone who would say otherwise.

  • My personal opinion,,,,, forget about M if u got 2gb ram only and I can even say same about N if u have only 3gb ram. Somewhere I heared that future android versions increase the battery life, but it's WRONG,,, fact is they need more ram like 2gb more for every new version,,,, So I can go ahead and say this is THE END for Android. A new OS may already born somewhere and it will launch in next year, Just like old OS history,,,, Remember my words and let's welcome a new OS,,,,,,,

  • Dude's,,, am using both s8 50lc tab and x3 and 2days back updated to M (x3), everything is good but available RAM is 1.2gb and no increase in battery juice. So therez is no USE of M for s8 50lc tab coz it's eating the RAM and battery juice so from 2gb ram, u may get around 600mb RAM, so forget about M and carry on with what u have now. Actually am using s8 since 1.5yrs and it's good with few problems like low call volume and hungry battery (8" inch need a big,,,, :D battery),, So what we really need for this s8 tab is like a slim flip cover with battery like that ASUS made,,, actually it's a fantastic idea and hope some made it for not only this tab but for all brands

  • Let's ask lenovo for updates: Lenovo tablet support no.(852) 3516-8977 (hong Kong) No.0333-777-3991(National Rate) (Please select option 2 on the IVR) 9:00 - 18:00 Monday - Friday(UK) No.1800-208-7555 10:00 - 19:00 Monday - Saturday(India) More details visit page -https://support.lenovo.com/in/en/supportphoneli­st_alt2

  • I think either they have dropped the plan or only beta tester (or people who have sufficient "privilege" )can open the page . We can only wait or ask about it at the forum or contact lenovo

  • Nope... but why don't they publish these news for everyone to see, i don't get it?!

  • Thank you for your reply. Have you made any contact with lenovo for tablet updates

  • I have no permission to open it either :/

  • I admit it that's impossible ,but at least they could give battery life extending update or permissions control on lollipop

  • That's an archived post on lenovo forum, can anyone open that page? because I can't please help me get more information .I suggest to contact to lenovo official about it .

  • That WOULD be great news but i don't believe it quite 100% until i see it happening. But there's something suspicious about the news claiming that ALL Lenovo's tablets will be updated to Android N? Even the most low budget 100€ or less tablets? I don't think so.

  • According to the link below Android n is coming to the tablet?

  • Can I ask if this tablet support up to 128GB SDXC mircoSD-Card? If not, can 64GB SDXC will be a good replacement? 32GB SDHC is not enough for me. Help for this. Thank!

  • Hi bro, how can you push a company to bend to your demands? Lollipop update is already available.

  • Or Android M

  • I have read all of your posts on lenovo forum,my advice is to start new topic named marshmallow for tab s8 (don't forget to mention s8 tablet in title) and try to get more than 20 kudos that'll do I suppose.

  • I have flooded the Lenovo forum (under Lenovo Android tablets) with requests for the Tab S8-50 to be pushed to Marshmallow. But the only responses I get are those from fellow S8-50 owners and nothing from anyone official from Lenovo. They are staying very quiet about this and the Lenovo upgrade matrix schedule has not been updated since December 2015. Stingy Chinese at Lenovo. I would never buy from them again.

  • Still waiting for the marshallow update for this tablet. How long do we have to wait Lenovo ???????????

  • Have you made any contact to lenovo regarding your problem.reply

  • How despicable of Lenovo to forget about us and leave users of this tablet in a complete vacuum devoid of updates. Marshmallow hasn't been mentioned on the update schedule matrix and Android N (Nutella) will be released this summer. I will buy product from Lenovo, those chinese cowboys!!!

  • One of the best tablet out there till now! The combo of the Intel Atom Z3745+2 GB DDR3 & Full HD resolution is still on the top (this is my opinion, so pls DON'T blame, thx).

  • Have someone posted request on Chinese lenovo forum to update tab s8 50 to android marshmallow

  • If we want marshmallow for lenovo S8-50 tablet, let's post request on lenovo official forum website and flood it with request s

  • I really hope so! I almost believed Maverick's message but he was just trolling ._.

  • Is Marshmallow update for lenovo tab S8-50 coming ?

  • Have someone contacted lenovo officials for marshmallow on this tab . What they(officials) replied? please tell

  • Ok

  • Nope, as i thought. Lenovo will probably never update this to Marshmallow. Please tell, when did you got this "update" and where do you live?

  • Is this a joke? Better not be. I'll check anyway.

  • Hi.. Marshmallow update is available now... please check...

  • When s8-50lc(malaysia)will release lollipop update..i wait this since july 2015

  • yes it support otg on the go

  • whether there is otg support for s8 50f tab

  • For those buying this tablet. There are many versions and if you like the one with LTE and data/gsm calls and text, go for the s8-50LC. Based on 4 months of exp using this tablet: Pros -loud and clear front facing stereo speakers -bright clear screen for watching movies/series -very lightweight and handy for an 8-inch Cons -Battery life lasts only for 5-6 hours on continuous use and less than 2 days on standby -Auto brightness function seems buggy after the lollipop update -Touch lag of about a sec after lollipop update Haven't tried resetting it yet as some people here claim to fix those after reset. Conclusion: Still a good buy for it's price if you're looking for a media tablet

  • Have you found a fix to the auto dimming issue?

  • mine lags a lot... any solution for this? i bought it to play clash of clans but it's too slow and I cannot enjoy playing on it. thinking of throwing it to the garbage can everytime i used it. any suggestions to solve this lagging?

  • People never think of buying this tab its just 8 months i have bought this very poor performence and now i cant take calls n even some calls dont connect also very slow very bad tablet dont buy this

  • Can it connect to Bluetooth?

  • Delete the messenger and skype then download it again..or before deleting try to update first

  • I highly doubt it but it could come but don't expect it to come anytime soon, Lollipop update came about year later when it was released by Google.

  • How to inset sim .i haven't a sim slot

  • what about battery after last update???

  • Android 6.0 Marshmallow coming to this tablet???

  • how about the battery usage after last update?

  • rooted and upgraded to Lollipop 5.0.1. runs smoothly. averaging free 1.2gb of ram usually.

  • You bought the wrong model... buy a new one

  • Since the Tab S8-50 is already running Android 5.0, which is running off a fairly decent 64bit Intel based CPU and associated hardware... I ask one question: when will the Lenovo Tab S8-50 receive the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update over the air??? I urge Lenovo to put aside their financial agendas and assign their technical staff to push Marshmallow on this device. The hardware is more than sufficient to run Marshmallow it smoothly and Lenovo has a corporate responsibility to its customers that if the their hardware allows it, customers should receive the latest version of Android as feasibly possible...

  • its above on the left....

  • The features on the main screen are not visible. What can i do ???

  • there is no sim slot what can i do

  • Sir I not found sim slot in tab s8 50 please show in pic

However, the net works well with network dependent apps like Whatsapp, tellegram. I consulted with an expert in the field and he said you need to have a RAM installed. I don't know what he meant. please help

  • Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Using S8-50LC and this issue of Facebook constantly crashing is getting on my nerves. All I can hope for now is the Lollipop update to arrive at my region and hopefully fix the issue.

  • very slim, beautiful and stylish. great technical specs for the price... BUT: full of annoying bugs, fully charged battery lasts just couple of hours, many apps like FB, Avast security products and few others just not working on this tablet. sometimes touch is not responsive, most of the times running very slow, sluggish. I definitely don't suggest anyone wasting money on this tablet.

  • Hi, When i bought my S8-50LC i have had a nice FULL HD resolution! (Android 4.4.2) After the next 2 updates I lost this resolution! (Same Android 4.4.2 but with a different version number) The icons are more big than before... If i set the text dimension to: small... Nothing change! The icons are still big. For me my S8-50 lc is running with a 1280 x 720p... >>> Now my question is: If I update my tablet to Lollipop 5.0.1... This problem about the resolution, will be fixed? Say something... Thank you.

  • There is display auto dimming problem....is it fixed after lollipop upgrade...if not how to fix it?...please help me

  • my simple Lenovo Tab S8-50LC (black) review. Pros: - big and very bright screen. i usually use less than 30% brightness. - light and easy to hold. the weight is just nice too. - speakers are very loud. maybe cause they are facing front. - fluid even on Kitkat 4.4 it ran smooth on mostly all apps. - the back, top, and bottom feels nice to hold because of the material. - not much of bloatware, simple UI. thinking should i load Nova Launcher which is my favorite. Cons: - my region don't have update to lollipop... yet. - no LED notification, didn't realize how helpful this is till you use a device that doesn't have it. Others: - the wifi is not bad, surprisingly coverage better than Honor 6 but not as strong Xperia Z1. the transfer speed is good though.

  • I'm upgrading to lolipop right now and I'm having a cold feet because of the comments I've read here but I'm gonna go through with it anyway, I'm hoping lolipop gives me a smother look and a better performance. The most important thing for me is the quality of the display I hope it stays the same. Also I hope I can be able to root it after upgrading cause they say it's more easy to root with lolipop than KitKat. I'll post my opinion after the upgrade is done. Later.

  • Very strange, somehow my Lenovo Tab S8-50LC don't seems to have Device Software Update in Setting. When I went into Setting > About tablet > Software update > Checking for update > You are using the latest version, it doesn't have any option to perform update online becides from SD card. Do you have any idea how to proceed from here?

  • just go to your tab setting then click about device software update. just update it then after update your device will reboot and automatically upgrade to the latest version of kitkat. then repeat the same procedure after the second update your device will reboot again then your device open with newly fresh adroid lollipop... thnks and hoping that your tab will upgrade to lollipop same as mine reply if this messge helps you:)

  • To make video calls (you have to be rooted first!!)Edit this line in build.prop find for this statement : " ro.lenovo.region=row ro.lenovo.device=tablet ro.lenovo.sim=single ro.lenovo.videocall=false >>> change to "true" ro.hq.desktop.config=wcdma This is for another Lenovo MTK SoC Lollipop device. i can make Skype and Hangouts video calls after that.

  • I wish you can give more information on how you did the upgrade via OTA. Thanks for your quick response.

  • I bought this s8 tab for my son, all is perfectly well, only issue is the battery really drains fast. Lenovo pls. send remedy for this. thanks.

  • i just upgrade it ota it takes 20 mints.

  • i think the camera is better and faster than before

  • Hello everyone! I have the Tab S8-50 LC model (Wifi+4G) sold in India.. I would like to hear the experiences of those who have upgraded to Lollipop 5.0.1 on this model. How is the Performance (UI fluidity, opening closing apps, app load times, gaming etc.), Battery Life, Stability compared to Kitkat? Does the ART makes any noticeable difference? Has Lenovo given us a proper upgrade (bugfree, polished, complete) or has just pushed out something that works reasonably? Any issues you are facing after update.. What was good before now bad/broken and what has improved over Kitkat.. I am completely satisfied with rooted Kitkat + Xposed, I just want to know if Lollipop is worth it. Any comments, screenshots, links to your blog are most appreciated..

  • Hi, Really please to hear that you have managed to upgrade to lollipop. May I konw how did you perform the upgrade?

  • If you wont video call in messenger the old version of messenger video call working in lenovo s8 but the update let video call not working so that you ask anybody to send old version of messenger app for you and close update so that the video call will working very good or dowenlod it from store and close the update

  • mine is already upgrade to lollipop but still no video call on fb messenger so sad;(

  • Adter I downloaded the last updat 5.0.1 ,the camera did't well work like the old version and the colours is very bad . so how can I downgrade for the old version ??? Format it or what

  • In my first S8 one of the speakers didn't work, just returned to store & got a replacement.

  • Oh..yes everything seems to be solved after the latest upgrade to the lolipop...no more cast screen/screen mirroring issues ..BTW u don't need to use other apps or Chromecast it works just fine with the built in screen mirroring options

  • Heard from one of the seller here that the reason why FB Messenger is not supported is that most Intel Processors have issues with Video Calling Features. Don't know if it is true, but even me, I was disappointed why I can't use Video Call with Lenovo TAB S8. Hope Lenovo will do something to SOLVE the issue...

  • Hi - i just bought this tab s 8 two days back and till now i am very much satisfied with the performance - its screen is better than i pad mini only issue is battery -which drains fast on gaming ( max 3 hours on wifi ) plus the heating issue, other than this - one of the best tabs with such low price tag -

  • No video calling in messenger, can anyone help please?

  • Same as mine...why lenovo tab S8 doesn't have videocalling in messenger? Anyone plz...how can I fix it?

  • my lenovo tab s8 already update to lollipop but some application lost

  • why my lenovo tab s8 dont have video call on fb

  • I bought Lenovo S8 50-LC 3 days ago and my problem is, it does not support video calling, can anybody here suggest any idea on how to fix this issue? even in my messenger, video calling is not possible.

  • i have just upgraded my tab s8 and it is awesome now every thing i like it after upgrading it is better than before lollipop is great

  • i have just upgraded my device and all is good and it is awesome now

  • Using a chromecast on an lg tv the casting was as simple as possible. There is a icon in the quick setting menu .... you know the drop down one and the chromecast tv simply mirrored the screen. Underr lollypop

  • The s8 will read and write to 64gb memory cards under lollipop

  • May I know how to format the Samsung C10 SX1 64GB Micro SD card using the Lenovo S8-50LC tablet. Seems like the tablet can't recognize the Samsung Micro SD card.

  • Too much hang n not support touch properly

  • Its a best tablet wid a affordable price I love it

  • my s8 tablet has been broken on july 5 2015 but there parts are not been in india yet so please set the parts early please

  • 5.0 update is rolling out.

  • Overall it's a great tab ...infact one of the best within that price tag when I bought this in some time around july'15 ...however one of the thing that really disappoints me about this tab is the screen mirroring or casting to other devices, TVs..just like most of the lenovo devices, it says to be functioned with the mirroing option but I really doubt that option..coz it failed with almost every Samsung TVs I tried and also the sony & lg ones....so if you are someone who wants to watch movies with family mirrored from this device to the , then its not the device... only other way cast the screen then is via an app from the playstore but most of them fails with device except my n screen.. So far other then this disappointment its a great one

  • Did u find a way to adjust desired mannual custom equaliser settings as u like,,,,, am not able to adjust the more then 12db, they simply falling down to 12db. Battery back is too weak, with update of lollipop may give more juice but lenovo was not releasing it so far. once I tried to play angry birds 2 but it's heating up like furnace in minutes and it shows some warnings too like thermal,,,,,,

  • Been using Lenovo Tab S8 (S8-50LC) since July'15 untill now (Oct'15), & here are what i feel about it: Pro: - Full phone function (Call, SMS, 3G, 4G) - Light & thin - Good display - Loud but clear audio - Expandable memory/storage - OTG support - Nice primary & front camera (for tablet) - Powerful devices (CPU + RAM); good for gaming - Battery last long up to 2 days with MINIMUM usage/standby time * Recommend device for its good specifications, performance & its price; so far no lag/hang issues Con: - Heating issues for gaming - Battery drain quickly for longer period of gaming (around 2-3 hours) * Except heating & battery performance while gaming, i didn't find much issues with this device

  • yes you can check the below ­

  • Dont be too eager to do an OTA update for Lenovo Tablets. I have 3 Lenovo tablets that fails doing OTA (I was damn lucky as it just terminate the update , other users had bootloop/blackscreen/no boot) @ of my A8-A5500 lucky thing I had the SPFlashTool version ROM and TWRP but another Tab2 A7-30 fails to OTA and although I have the Lollipop OTA file I did not do the OTA as I dont have CWM/TWRP for KitKat (only availble for Lollipop). These are my 9th Tablet as the rest are 10inch tablet and Lenovo 6 inch phones. I would rather have a working Tablet than the "wrangling" of upgrade to Lollipop and ending up with a non working tablet. Next month I am going to buy a Lenovo Phab Plus with Lollipop out of the box.

  • can you send link from which you downloaded update? thanks

  • Oh well, I just got an update.... the f*cking update matrix just got updated.. nice.... .... lenovo got the matrix updated.... who cares about the matrix.... release the OTA

  • agreed, lenovo problem is always on their weak receiption ... compared to my wife's samsung

  • Amazing screen and good at sound. not working under mobile data but working under wi-fi

  • Slim, light, great screen, good sound. BUT.... Connectivity is a problem!!! Anyone having problem staying connected to your mobile network? I'm from Malaysia, using DiGi. Before S8 I was using the Korean S brand, no problem then.... *sigh*!

  • :D instead of update of lollipop, they r updating release dates by month by month in their road map

  • May I know how to format the Samsung C10 SX1 64GB Micro SD card using the Lenovo S8-50LC tablet. Seems like the tablet can't recognize the Samsung Micro SD card.

  • Its a fantastic device and can u believe it i purchased it online last december and it didnt hang or any lag even phone memory is totally full thanks 2 intel processor camera is superb and only problem i found it gets heated time and again but this is common 2 other devices and mostly while charging.....so overall my advise foru...just go for it u will love it as i do

  • They said Lollipop update would be on Sept 2015, it October already... lenovo where did the update go?

  • Touchscreen is amazing. No complaints at all. Wifi is only 2.4gHz with b/g/n no AC and no dual band. Sometimes the connection does become weak. Doesn't drop but the speed decreases. My favorite 8 inch tablet. Amazing speakers.

  • i want to buy this tab so,, is there is a problem in touch or wifi ? plz answer from who bought the tab

  • U need to get the LC model for calling

  • wanted to buy this tab,after run thru here,WOW,manies problem.

  • Vapourware software updates are costing Lenovo fortunes. My Wife's secondary school was considering making a large order for Lenovo tablets. My Wife once bought a MOTO E because it had a sticker on the box which said: 'Lollipop Ready'. Lenovo bought MOTO and the update never came. The plug got pulled on the deal and they bought iPads instead at nearly double the price. This seemed a bit drastic to me, but from what I can see on the Net about Lenovo and software updates, they made a wise choice. After all, iPad 2 from over 6 years ago is still getting a brand new OS update EVERY YEAR!. That's VFM.

  • Hey everyone! I just got this Lenovo tab s8-50L and i discovered that i can't make call with it, that's how it was manufactured. Is there any custom rom that can be installed to make calling possible?

  • 64GB normally is formated using exFAT instead of FAT32. U can try format the Memory Card using PC format of FAT32. It should work else the phone not support 64GB.

  • Hey friend. Your situation same happened to me. My tab dropped while I am use it in sitting position but obviously crack after hitting my top feet. Seriously, its screen is major problem here - easily crack! Soft material. I am charge at RM380 but I request negotiation of that price. Other than that, all specs of this tab is superb for below RM800.

  • why not mount the card on the computer and format it then insert to try again. sometigmes this works

  • Same this side my s8 tab screen is also broken I buy from Ali express world wide dilevery available its 3600;inr

  • I am from Malaysia. I bought this S8 tab on Jan this year for RM 1K. I am quite sattisfied with S8 Tab performance since it has big screen. Unfortunately, 2 week ago, my tab fell down from top of table, so my touch screen tab cracked. Therefore, I have to change the cracked screen since I cannot unlock the locked screen. It is very very very hard to find the spare part for this tab because it only can be found at service centre only because it is rare product. After I went to service centre, I was quite shocked when I was told that the cost to change the screen was RM 0.5K ( half of the price of the tab ). Are u crazy man????? So, the lesson that I want to share with u is not to buy lenovo tab S8.

  • Read above link once,,,, check for update,,, if some update is there THEN do it and try again. If it's upto date then just follow the solution explained at above link.

  • Page works fine for me. This is road map of their devices and the update schedule. The 5.0 update is confirmed for September 2015.

  • Many Thanks for your quick response. After turn off the Tablet, I have tried to reinsert the Samsung EVO C10 SX1 64GB Micro SD Card (Made in Korea), then turn on the Tablet, go to setting ➡ storage ➡ Extra Storage card. But the Tablet do not want to mount onto the Micro SD card, it shows "Blank Removable Storage (Extra Storage card)". This make me start to suspect the firmware version of my Lenovo S8-50LC tablet as it has the same problem for both my brand new Samsung EVO 64GB C10 XC1 MICRO SD card and also my old Sandisk Ultra C10 XC1 64GB MICRO SD card. What do you think? What should I do next?

  • By the way mine is Samsung EVO series 64gb SD,,,,

  • Try above methods,,,, if not succeed then there is lot of issues,,, like,,, check weather it is properly inserted,,, very narrow slot,,, not an easy task,,, some r facing popping out problems too Check that u r card is fake or not,,, real Samsung cards r printed with MADE IN KOREA on back with all white Color on 4sides of the edges. Check it's weather the problem of u r tablet or not,,, by insert and try to format in other mobile,,,

  • which is better lenovo tab s8 or huawei mediapad x1

  • Please let me know how to format the Samsung C10 SX1 64GB Micro SD card with my Lenovo S8-50LC tablet.

  • Am using same and it's working fine,,, format it using the tab By the way anyone found that how to set custom equaliser more then 12db coz they simply falls down to 12db in Dolby app?

  • I'm not sure but at least in specs it says "up to 32gb cards" so maybe this tablet just does not support 64gb cards or above.

  • My Lenovo Tab S8-50LC can't work with but my brand new Samsung EVO 64GB C10 XC1 MICRO SD card and also my old Sandisk Ultra C10 XC1 64GB MICRO SD card. Can someone help me with this.

  • "Page not found"... ...what was there in the link? Anyway, almost every day now i'm checking updates on my S8-50L in hope that Lollipop update will pop up :/ No such luck for now.

  • I wouldn't be so sure about that... ...Lollipop update for S8-50 has already been delayed a couple of times. We all know Lenovo sucks when it comes to software support of their products and all we know is that the Lollipop update is PLANNED for this device, not CONFIRMED. I wouldn't be surprised if this update never happens but i hope i'm wrong and it happens better sooner than later.

  • Hi guys, anyone found the fix for Dolby custom equaliser settings?,,,, am unable to set custom settings of equaliser in Dolby app as desired,,,, the levels are falling down flat to 12db however u try to set,,, wtf?,,,, Plz share if anyone found fix or the method to set them as u like,,,, I think everyone is facing the same problem so it is so useful to all

  • The update will be rolling out this month according to Lenovo.

  • How I can upgrade to lollipop android 5.0??????

  • It's the defect of this tab, otherwise, quite reasonable.

  • i wouldnt think about it! Nexus for sure! i've used it some time and it's great!!! if you have the money go for it! you will not be disappointed

  • This is the worst tab I've ever seen. At standby mode battery drain before day break without inserting sim card. Don't waste your money buying this tab. I'm really disappointed in lenovo.

  • my tab is restarting it self when i use for continuous hours ,can u please tell me is anything wrong with the tab so that i can exchange or return it .please suggest me

  • Wonder anyone know how to prolong the battery life of the Lenovo S8-50LC tablet?

  • Please Help me... What should i buy ? Please guys help me 1. Google Nexus 9 32GB LTE 2. Lenovo TAB S8

  • This tablet but has good performance but the battery drains too fast . Also my device has tendency to randomly stop all touch response. TheN when I press the power button the device won't turn on. I absolutely hate this. I would like to know if anyone has been experiencing similar problems💀

  • It might be a haunted mobile.

  • not keeping the backlight

  • You can use any stylus designed to work with capacitive screens with this tablet.

  • In order to make calls, you need a telecom antenna (hardware). just flashing a different version of OS can't help you make calls. Since your device doesn't have such hardware, no point flashing. Don't void your warranty.

  • what do you think Lenovo Tab S8 or Mi pad i know there are many differences in spec but they are at the same price level Many people are speaking about battery life is not so good on the S8

  • Plz tell me about gaming and can we use stylus on this tab

  • Have not experienced such a problem, the speakers work perfectly. I am able to listen on max volume with almost perfect sound quality.

  • can some one here post antutu result of this tablet? especially GPU result .. i want to see how intel HD performing in a tablet .. thanks

  • It depends on exactly which LTE version do you have. S8-50L support only data transfer over LTE, S8-50LC supports data and voice calls. If you have S8-50L (without "C" in name) you can not make voice calls with your tablet.

  • One more problem is my hand set was restarting every morning it self when I on it,,,,, what to do?

  • I observed that the top speaker is producing low sound compared to bottom speaker,,,,, is that normal or my hand set problem? Plz check and say is that common problem among all sets, if not I'll visit to service center,,,,, thank you

  • Heats a lot while playing Angry Birds 2,,,, is Intel chips r heats much then other SOC? When it reaches to certain heat it even says: "Throttling brightness due to thermal event",,,, what it means and how to get rid of it,,, Can we expect some solution to this by lollipop update?

  • This tablet is crap! Fm tuner keeps timing out and shows error "Bluetooth pairing failed" why would this error message pop up if you're only using the fm tuner? I use a tablet jacket/holder/whatever by IVSO, sometimes when I open the jacket to access the tablet, the tablet won't light up or wake, leaving me to poke at the power button repeatedly till it wakes. You can install candy crush and soda crush but when you play one, and close it and wish to play the other, the sound effects become messed up prompting you to reboot the damned tablet. Lesson learned- never buy anything with lenovo written/pasted on it ever

  • all tab become hot when played c.o.c except i pads.

  • Can I use memory card micro sdhc ? Does lenovo tab s8 -50LC support micro sdhc or just micro sd ??? Anyone can help ??

  • Android does not have native video call support. That goes to ALL Android devices. You need to use Skype or other 3rd party app.

  • Only S8-50LC can make calls. LTE variant(S8-50L) can't even with third party apps...

My big issues is battery - charging time - more than 5 hours at sleep mode! Battery percentage was dropping even using original USB to charge!!! (Just normal internet surfing) Battery Drain so fast Full charge on 10am. Use for internet purpose at wifi condition & low brightness. Dropped to 40% after 2 hours... cant believe Power consumption is showing android system (>50%)...

  • Guys,,, am using samsung evo 64gb class10 and it's working fine since 1month. So beware of duplicates. Original Samsung is made in Korea one with white Color around 4 sides. Anyone found the working auto call recoder yet? am using BSNL 3g and am facing "reload" of page in Chrome like 3 to 5 times in 10 minutes of time,,, continuously,,, is that carrier BSNL problem or phones? Call voice is also low Battery is pathetic too

  • Yes I too am using a 64GB Cl.10, so 16GB internal is fine!

  • A new update released by Lenovo a few days ago (17MB) that corrects the problem with Wi-Fi and Sim Card not working together. After updating the tablet to the last firmware version unfortunately when you put sim card in the slot, Wi-Fi stops working but with new 17MB update now the problem is solved! My Tablet is S8-50LC (LTE) model and I'm glad that with this new update I can use Wi-Fi again :)

  • Hi to all those using S8 couple of questios if you could please answer 1. Did tablet receive 5.0 update in India? 2. Which one to choose Asus fonepad 8 or S8. S8 is higher in ppi rest all specs are same. 3. Lenovo does have a wifi issue. It also happens in my lenovo laptop. All users facing this issue? 4. After connecting it with computer it shows internal and external both?

  • This TAB recharges at the rate 32-35% per hour tailing off slightly after 90/95%.... so typically 5% to 95%+ in less than 3h, regardless of wheather you are using a 1.5A or a 2.1A charger. -Using "2 Battery" app

  • How can I use camera on the Facebook Messenger. It is not showing camera is activated on the device. I need assistance. Please help. Thanks in advance...

  • I 've updated when the SIM card with a WiFi tablet at the same time does not work , what should I do?

  • Yes, the wifi connection problem is frustrating and disappointing. Have you found a work-around on this issue? I hate the fact that you have to press the connect button so many times before you get connected. Sometimes you also have to powercycle before you get connected. Connecting to wifi is such a hassle when it shouldn't be.

  • Sick of my S8-50 tablet from Lenovo....too many problems ... worked fine...it disconnected from WIFI and won't reconnect...hate the power button issues.....Time to ditch this product for something that works.....I like some things about the tablet but the problems are too much....never heard of Lenovo before I bought this product and I won't buy anything else from them. Sad.

  • this tablet has usb otg (on the go) and this feature is very useful...

  • Lenovo s8 batter

  • Heating is normal in this model. Nothing you can do. Its the processors inside. They prpduce lot of heat when working on big stress. They stay cool on low demand aplications. On hottest days fan directed on your person with S8 will solve all heat problems. Cool air do wonders.

  • Yes it is normal. I have seen many tabs which takes more than 5 hours to became fully charged. And some of them takes full day.It depends upon the capacity of the battery.

  • Hi, low sound from top speaker when compared to bottom speaker, so is that normal? How to set the custom manual graphic equaliser with our choice of treble and bass? Thanks in advance

  • When I connect my tab lenovo s8 with computer or laptop its shows only memory card drive but not showing internal memory storage drive..how to enable internal memory storage drive?

  • My tablet takes 3 hours to fully charge, is it normal??

  • So far 4G speed is good. Wifi signal not strong as my previous Sony phone.

  • hi guys, does it works faster like smart phones, i mean internet etc?

  • When come to indonesia?

  • No bad actually with this price range. Dolby sound was superb!

  • is this tablet good in specs?

  • Hey guys. What type of game data (cache) should I get to play games on this tablet? (considering the fact that it has Intel HD Graphic!) Tegra? Mali? Aderno? PowerVR? I just used Tegra APK and Data for several games. most of them does work but some of them like Real Racing 3 doesn't!

  • Hey all, After lot of checks and reviews on GSMarena and YouTube finally buying Lenovo S8. The pros above any Samsung or MI Tab: 4G Sim Slot - WiFi is not available everywhere in India Screen to body ration (71.3%) Light Weight (223 gms) Very less heat as compared to MI 8 MP with flash (decent) 5.0 update expected soon (fingers crossed) 8 inch screen Dolby sound Front dual speaker Sound is excellent with and without headphones Cons: Pixel density of 283 (PPI), should have been at least 382 ppi to make it extra clear for Games, Movies etc 128 GB SD card support ... 64 GB is good ..but 128 have been better 3 GB of RAM (that's a wish) I am yet to receive the Tab.

  • i figured it out hold power button and volume + together brings up a screen to reboot/recover :D

  • in this need duel sim ?

  • The lte frequencies are not listed on here, but according to the manual the lte version supports bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 20. So the supported frequencies are 800MHz, 850MHz, 900MHz, 1700MHz, 1800MHz, 1900MHz, 2100MHz and 2600MHz.

  • same happened to me today cant switch it back on

  • I was given the Tab S8 as a gift at Xmas. When it is running, I found it superb. No problem on WiFi. Good pictures and very fast response. However, there appears to be a major problem with these. In 4 months, mine has packed up twice. The problem occurs after charging it up (switched off). When I try to power it up again, it is just dead. When it packed up first time, my wife returned it to PC World to be met with "Oh another one". Its obviously some fundamental poor design somewhere causing these units to go down. Don't know whether it is just my unit or it is a major fundamental design flaw. But with modern electronic equipment, especially with the charging technology these days, I would expect something a lot more reliable. So please be warned.

  • Guys 5.0.1 Lollipop update for this tablet is being tested/released in some markets. For more info visit this thread: Its stock Android and Lenovo got rid off some annoyances. Its said to be faster than KK. For those of you who were wondering if this Tablet will ever see Lollipop, be assured that it will. You may see the update in comming months.

  • Yes but read the manual before u purchased because Lenovo S8 wlan and LTE only contain Voice calling function not other phone.

  • Can i make a call with this tab is there calling function....

  • My colleague got tablet yoga and was able to use fine for three months then the touchpad sensitivity happens. He sent to Lenovo svc center and schedule to replace the screen . Lenovo after sales support sucks. To save you from disappointment do not buy any devices from Lenovo. There are other brands out there proovides better support than the latter.

  • U can use 3g micro sim if that is what you meant.

  • I have one of s8-50lc and had issue detecting sim which i discovered a day after i bought and tried the data sim. Do not upgrade to lollipop as you may be encountering wifi issues like what i have reas in the forum. On the outside this device is really nice and sleek design is appealing but do not be deceived with it and the offer price. I regretted buying one as Lenovo after sales support sucks. Right now my device still with them for morethan 2 weeks and they are still unable to fix the problem. It is not worth the hassle and disappointment. I highly discourage anyone to buy this. This is a least I can do to help people from getting a crap device and crap Lenovo support.

  • I agree entirely. This tablet is incredible. I'm upgrading from my 16 month old Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, which served me well but was a bit bogged down with Touchwiz. The Lenovo Tab S8 is so fast and has such a clear display.

  • Sunday afternoon i got this tab. Its very beauty in size, looks, spec and everything. Eventhough while first time charging the adapter got full heat and when I am using for browsing downloading gaming for 30minuts the tab's right top area got full heat . Today again i charged & same heat occured. Monday I spoke with service centre in salem, tamilnadu, india. He said nothing to worry about the heat of the adapter and tab its normal in this device and it has one year warrenty. If it has any problem we can do the best.

  • can it be upgraded to lolipop??

  • Can i use 3gdongle with this

  • Also Yoga Tablet 2 with Anypen is Windows only. If you want Android you have to look elsewhere.

  • No, it doesn't support a stylus. You won't be able to draw on this tablet with a pencil. Also nothing inbuilt like a digitizer which we see in the Samsung Note series. If stylus support is important for you stick to the new Yoga Tablet 2. You can use a capacitive stylus, but its accuracy is no better than a finger and also you get no support for pressure sensitivity.

  • No, the WiFi on mine is working fine. I am still running the firmware that the tablet shipped with. There have been 2 updates for the WiFi only model and 1 update for the LTE model since then. I didn't update because some users were reporting some problems (Wifi, DPI etc.) after the update. So if your Wifi keeps disconnecting then it could be because of the firmware upgrade. Hopefully they will solve the problem in the next update. I generally have a strong Wifi reception around the house so can't comment on reception.

  • Pls I need an answer: Does this Tab support Pen for hand note+taking like Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2? I'ḿ in love with this tab, I'ḿ an ardent note-taker and likes drawing, but I don't like the bulgy nature of Yoga Tab 2

  • Thank you. Will try this out and see if it works.do you also face problem with its WiFi reception ?

  • yes it's OTG supported

  • I don't know why people slate this tablet for poor battery life etc., as mine seems just fine for regular usage. Any tablet or phone will drain the battery fast if you start using all the available performance they have. This remarkable tablet has no competition in its price bracket. Most other tablets have only 1024x768 or 1280x800 resolution, many more are still only dual core, and even more still have only 1GB RAM for app usage, compare that to this with 1920x1200, quad core cpu & 2/16GB RAM for just £109, & it's a steal. Some people just expect everything I guess.

  • is it support otg cable or not ?

  • You can get one from PC World for £109.99 (you pay £129.99 but get £20 cashback)

  • Hello fellow buyer! I was in the same situation as you, I actually opened the back of the Tablet just to remove the Sim Card! But it was covered, so I feared that I would have to take it to the Service Centre. But after some trying and luck I finally got it out. Here is what to do: No need to open the Tablet/Back Cover. Only open the flap covering the slots You will need a needle and a tweezer Hold the Tablet such that the headphone slot is facing your right Now you will only see the edge of the Sim Card (thick straight line of plastic) Now with a needle push the rightmost point of Sim Card inside (yes push it INSIDE) this will hopefully dis-engage the mechanism The Sim Card will become loose. Now insert the needle in the gap between the rightmost point of Sim Card and the wall of the slot enclosure Now gently applying force on the Sim with the needle, pull the needle outside. Try it for some time. It will make the Sim come out more Try gently pricking the Sim with the needle on its flat side and try to pull it out Now the Sim should have come out enough for you to grab it with a tweezer. Grab it with a tweezer and pull it out slowly I am not guaranteeing this will work 100% because I don't know your situation. But this method works for me every time (the 4-5 instances that I came across)

  • can u plz inform me from where I will get this tab with SIM? coz I don't get any where in UK & USA this tab with SIM.

  • my comment and question regarding my tablet losing wifi connection when the network is eve slightly weak when all my other gadgets remain connected has not been posted. i tried to see if it has anything to do with the settings. i did my best with the advanced wifi settings available on the tab. i undid the battery optimisation vis a- vis the wifi. the setting that did improve it slightly was letting google and other apps search for network even when wifi is turned off . now i dont see any relation but it did the trick ..well to some extent. has anyone else faced similar issues. and also would like any suggestions regarding any solution. the other problem was the bad sim and micro sd slot , the spring type and if you aren't careful your card will be stuck there inside with no way of getting it out except opening up the tab.

  • hey guys .. about the battery i would say is .. in any TABS you won't find a longer battery life .. so according to me 6 hours battery is much enough .. in the aspect with tabs

  • Had plans of buying a lenovo S8 today but with the look of things here, mostly the battery life its a NO No situation lemme check what to add on my cart

  • Another problem all buyers of this tab should know. The Sim and microsd card slot are the spring type. If you aren't careful then u can have either of two stuck with no way to take them out. My micro sim is stuck. It won't come out. So I am letting it say and when I would need it to come out I will have to pay a visit to service center and get them to open the tablet and take it out.phew!

  • Well, the tablet has a good display . yes it flickers at low brightness. No option for auto brightness. But the most annoying problem I have been facing with this tab is the WiFi connection. I keep losing WiFi connection where my other devices remain well connected. Only where the network is very strong does the WiFi remain stable. Other places it drops and sometimes doesn't even connect back on its own. So I tried to look into its settings. There is a WiFi battery optimizer, I turned that off. No improvement. Then there is an option for letting the device only when the network is strong. It wasn't ticked but as a hit and trial thing I tried with it turned on. Nothing changed. Then there was a third option which is letting Google and other apps scout for networks even if WiFi is turned off. I ticked off. There was a major improvement but still it wasn't like my other devices. Now can someone here help me with the problem

  • Bought yesterday... What a display and speed. It's very thin and light and bought yellow color my favorite. Its available in Oman for 200$

  • why isnt the Lenovo Tab S8 not available in South Africa ?

  • i loved this tab after seeing specs and design. Ordered on cod(flipkart). But cancelled after reading a lot of reviews saying "battery is worse". 8 out of 10 reviews say battery is insufficient.

  • Hi guys tis is Karthick a Tech savy,, I bought this tabby Jus three days back,, this is really a great piece of slection,,,had a idea abt Nexus 9 and iPad air, was curious abt nexus 9, since I am using nexus 5 I know the perfection notch. Came across this device as a pop up wen I was checking abt nexus 9. Wil write my hands on experience guys. Good: touch response is really a great thing in this product Great screen resolution Okey battery life,, if you are a mid leveluser Dolby digital- wil make you to float in air.(very much satisfied) Very fast processor and Ram is really good. Good gaming tablet supports great for real football 2015 Asphalt 8(rendering high graphics ram usage games) Speed is amazinglygreat in cellular as well as wifi. Guys I Justreceived the 32gb memory card of 10x speed..I inserted it and it works great ............. Bad Over heating I can't hold the tablet without back case.dont pplay games in oouter space or near the wi doe cuz of hot sun and overt heating there are possibilities to get burst EGot switched off on the day 1 and struggled restatrting for 10mins even wen I had 70 age of charge. Over All for 17.5k it's a great piec. And worth th penny

  • ***cons: Battery life is pathetic..gets exhausted in half day.. camera sound is irritating, cant even shut it down.. chimpanzee glass so can break easily.. auto-brightness sensor is missing.. ***pros: screen resolution is quite good. camera is nice fast streaming videos dolby sound rocks

  • Mine did the same

  • Does anyone have a problem about battery usage?

  • Will this Tablet receive Lollipop 5.1 update? Does it have multiwindow? Are there similar tablets with Lollipop? I want to buy this tablet please reply fast.

  • I bought mine YTD from IT show. Thinpad,lite weight and video streaming is just nice for 299SGD plus freebies.Not for gaming deffo. I am happy with this purchase.My first 2nd android device on KitKat version. I bought the one with LTE Sim slot and additional microsd 32Gb. Though it can extend up to 64. I was thinking of buying Asus transformer pad at first yet it only got 1GB Ram and no Sim slot. S8 comes with 2G and Intel quad core so I can't complain. I bought powerbank so if my power is low ,I have a back up.😀

  • battery life is a worry...😠.. Planning to buy 4g sim for testing....can somebody tell me the battery life ??

  • is this beter than x1 or not ??

  • dell venue8 has less battery life & camera compared to lenovo tab s8....!! dell venue8 6 hours battery life , lenovo tab s8 9:30 hours battery , with lollipop 5.0 ..

  • @gsmarena Please post your review on the Lenovo Tab S8.. Been waiting for your detailed review.. How did you miss this one!! :(

  • which is best? dell venue 8/lenvo s8

  • Plz anybody tell about heavy gaming experience on this? also about android 5.0 upgrade for it

  • Had the same experience once after 10 days of very smooth usage.Tab screen turned black wo any response one fine day.Connected the tab to PC .then pressed power + vol up arrow ..I dono how.its started working immediately.When it turned on 80 % charge was there.But could not find any reason for that black out ...anyway now its working fine.

  • No u won't need a third party app. All u need is a file manager like ESexplorer

  • had my S8 two weeks now, its just died, wont boot up anymore ? had it on charge, no idea what has caused this ?

  • I am able to watch YouTube, netflixs, and browse the internet for a combine screen on time of nearly 5 hrs over the course of 2 days. On the WiFi only model.

  • Oh wow, did you really return this because you didnt like the home launcher? It takes 1 minute to get a different one like Apex or Nova. This is a fantastic tablet at the current prices....just a steal really. Your loss...

  • I had, has you see, HAD this tablet. I picked this up at a best buy. Had to return it the next day because a dead pixal in the middle of the screen. I got a new one. Kept it for a couple of days. Returned it and got my money back. The main question is, why does this tablet have, what looks like a water down version of 4.4? Didn't even have a app drawer. With the specs that it has. Why? Hell my old nexus 7 1st gen has 5.0 and my nexus 1st gen ran great. Good thing I gave my nexus 7 to my gf. So I am using it until I get a nvidia shield or the nexus 7 2nd gen.

  • can we connect pendrives via otg cable or we need an 3rd party app for this???

  • How do you make phone call with this tablet?

  • here again few more models are ready to launch and of them Vibe X3 looks sexy so they definitely do usual mistake of their own trend like weak battery or over price or non availability at authorised stores etc. Just like what they done with S8 TAB & S930 which r real products with what really people needed,,,, ALL REMAING products are just waste. But they always launch 1 real @ 10 waste models and they concentrate on only waste models then the real one. So it's better to leave them to their madness by forgetting this brand called LENOVO

  • Why Lenovo why? You put 5000mah battery in a phone but not in a 8 inch tablet the Tab S8? What were you even thinking? Its a fail on your part to be so irresponsible and dumb. Beware people this is just how Lenovo is, always overlooking crucial aspects..

  • The price start dropping coz the initial madmax customers strats crying even in Flipkart,,,soon in just 1 month from now it's sales crash like hell and the price drops to 14k and if they don't change the battery to 6k and other improvements,,,, by 2months it's gonna R.I.P I am not against this model actually I want it but am terrifying about battery when 4g is ON and about its over price and waiting for the price drop COZ,,, I KNOW THEY ARE RESTRICTING THE PRICE by MAKING IT AVILABLE ONLY AT FLIPKART and I know this cheap trick won't work more then a few days.

  • Why HDMI? I am using Google Chromecast to connect S8-50 to TV. Even screen mirroring is working perfectly...

  • The Tab doesn't have a Micro-HDMI port and as far as I know it doesn't support MHL or Slimport standard. So those Micro-USB to XYZ adaptors won't work, you are only left with wireless options like Chromecast as I mentioned previously.

  • Can u connect tab s8 to TV??

  • No, I don't have any experience with recent Samsung Tabs. The reviews mentioned below might be able to help you. To everyone, here are some in-depth reviews about the Lenovo Tab S8. They are pretty thorough with all points covered. 1. goo.gl/xZqS5s 2. goo.gl/uFLxh2

  • If your TV supports Miracast you can directly cast your Tab's screen from the Settings->Display->Cast screen. If it doesn't then you need to buy a Chromecast. With Chromecast attached to your TV you can mirror your Tab's screen.

  • does it has calling feature?

  • Hi,Nikhil Did you use any other tablet Or Do you have informtion about samsung tab battery performance??

  • , what about tablet's battery and performance in general? because its high options together with its low price is maeningless to me .. Could users provide me with information???????

  • thank u for good comment from u I cant connect television what can I do

  • This s8 is not with,,, AMOLED or TRILUMINOS of display BOOM or dts of sound Cyanogen or ios of os yoga or edge of design 6k or 5k of battery of 5"phones SAMSUNG or LG of after sale service,,, Etc. Or Etc. Of Etc. It's just a LENOVO. And FLIPKART is not a Alibaba or Ebay So it's got no scene to cross the price then 14k, so LENOVO and FLIPKART, two new partners stop this looting

  • Frndz,,, don't misunderstand me,,, what's the point in buy it and come here and cry for it cons,,, this is not rehab,,, xda is there for solutions., we have to stop this Flipkart tacticts,,, how dare they are to increase the price of it and offering freebie for 1500rs/- more which is originally a cheap product of 500rs/- worth,,,, they r looting,,,, don't fall for it

  • While lenovo stores r there all over India then why making Flipkart as another Alababa,,,, without 6k battery no one buy it no more,,,, initial craze is end so start respecting Indian market before they turn to MMX"ians

  • They r repeating same mistake of S930 which is cool like s8,,,but they r foolishly not concentrating in these models like improving much more and make it available at local shops,,,,ALL REMAING LENOVO products are waste they r not going to survive with them so realise before people loose interest and turn to MMX YUREKHA and Xiaomi note 4g and ONE PLUS ONE or etc.

  • Guys!!!! Can u imagine if 4G is enabled then battery immediately fall to ICU in 30min. So lenovo stop this nonsense and come up with 6k battery minimum and make it available in local stores. Few days back they cried for online shoppers, even advertised that all online sites are not official resellers with pamphlets BUT bow down to only Flipkart and restricted the price fall down. It is 14k in Russian websites then what the hell with Indians who r more actively buying it here in India. It's kinda BLACKMAILING!!!!!!

  • Tip: I don't know whether many have noticed or not but hardware decoding of videos produces unpleasant results. When I am using MX Player and H/W Decoder for video playback, the video becomes whitish i.e. low contrast, washed out colours and grayish blacks. But when I am using S/W Decoder the video becomes livelier i.e. much better contrast, saturated colours and deep blacks. Even if the video playback is supported natively (using H/W decoding) I would suggest you to still force it to use S/W decoding. I have made the setting in MX Player such that it always uses S/W Decoder. This phenomenon can be seen on the inbuilt video player also, which uses only H/W decoding. The downside is that S/W Decoding is a more expensive process, you will consume more battery with respect to H/W Decoding. In short if you want higher quality video playback use the S/W Decoder! :)

  • 1-why 3gp in video format 2- can we connect to other devices like television

  • 1-why 3gp in video format 2- can we connect to other devices like television

  • just don't update everything is ok

  • I have bought this tablet for my son. I was looking for battery reviews as the battery seems dreadful. Now I can see I am not the only one with problems. If you put a case on the tablet it says it is overheating - so son has to play without a case. Not good for clumsy kids! Also he plays minecraft and clash of the clans on it - battery lasts an hour and half tops! Very disappointed with this.

  • The main problem is not from brands and models,,,, it's from people who are looseing brains and buying foolishly like kids without any patience and thinking,,,, etc. Why this particular model is not available at local lenovo stores? They r restricting the price drop by selling it at only place like Flipkart,,, If we stop buying it from there then it's available at places and the price too drops 1000rs. Per month and settle at 13k to 14k which is idle price for this model. So stop buying it and wait,,,, meanwhile they come up with more battery.

  • no bro, battery is ok.

  • Was the battery really all that bad? I was considering to buy this.

  • Bought for my son for Xmas, battery life terrible- even when using an app killer to make sure no necessary apps/processes are running. Frequently come to wake it up to find it's dead !

  • yes i have the same problem with wireless.

  • Yes it does

  • It is a very good product in this range. I have used both google nexus 7 and lenovo s8 tablet. Everything is going smoothly in lenovo s8. Really awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Worst battery performance. Battery drains in 3 to 4 hours in normal usage on low brightness. Screen sucks up 75% of the battery. It takes more than 3 hours to charge it fully. Not a mobile tab. Please don't buy this unless you always wall-plug it. Very disappointing.

  • Guys can u help me I am planning to take this tab can u tell me wheather it supports Voice calling like other tabs or do we have to download any app for that if so how it can be downloaded ???......and how to use it

  • i finally save my money to buy a tablet and as a mater of fact i like this tablet, but i want some help from one's who has this tablet. could you plz tell advantages and disadvantages of this tabblet. is it really worth to buy? how is its battery life with general usage and net surfing?

  • Guys in winter the heat wasn't an issue but its now becoming apparent. It heats up even during lite tasks like browsing. I advice all the buyers to not use a case while gaming. After playing Asphalt 8 for 40 minutes the heat increased so much that it could be felt on the screen! I use onscreen controls, the heat makes it uncomfortable. Let the heat dissipate, take breaks every 40 mins while gaming. The heat shielding of the screen is poor, the Tab has poor thermals and cannot distribute heat well. The good thing is that there is no throttling when the battery goes down or when the Tab heats up, so the framerates remain constant. Those grey dots or that pattern you see on the screen are actually touch digitizers. They should be transparent but in INFINITY cheap screen they are not and remain an unpretty sight. Also the INFINITY screen sucks battery like INFINITY! Lenovo you should provide INFINITE BATTERY for your INFINITY SCREEN! They intentionally cripple software functionality (Yoga has more features despite same hardware). They don't even reply or fix issues. They already have our money, why would they bother? I thought Lenovo was better but I now realise that they are just like any other cheap chinese brand! I will never buy anything from them here onwards.

  • Superb configured tab if it works flawlessly then it will be hit and I hope they come up with 6k battery and rectify all the problems,,, they are not responding to them even at lenovo forums too,,, It's not available at stores and only at flipkart means what? They r testing it on people who can't wait and who don't care much,,, so like this they test and try to rectify the problems and if they solve it then they launch in stores,,, Few months back I tried to buy S930 which is still not available in stores. So whatz going on LENOVO? STOP BUYING IT UNTIL,,,, 1.IT'S UPGRADED TO 6K BATTERY 2.IF THEY RESPOND AND RECTIFY THE PROBLEMS SO FAR 3.IF PRICE DOWN TO AND UNDER 13K but as usual they don't care and launch few more new waste models instead of improving this model just like S930.

  • Weak batteries,High temperature CPU,WiFi crash after firmware Update And Lack of attention to this Lenovo problem. very very bderd trying . . .

  • Last Week I have purchased this Tab. I am wondering that there is no light sensor. This is 17k tab.

  • Battery life really blows!

  • I am very disappointment with this tab. When playing clash of clan, my battery literally drain 1% per min--giving me roughly 100 min playing time. More frustratingly, having it plugged in doesn't help because it complains not enough current and still drains the battery. Argh! Lenovo!

  • Even the Smartwatches have better battery life then this Tab!! Lenovo what were you thinking? 3 hrs battery life! Can't even use this tablet without it being connected to the charger!!

  • battery only 3 to 4 hrs even standby battery is not good don't bye

  • I just bought a lenovo S8-50. This is superb but battery life is a great set back. It only runs 3-4 hours at normal usage. I am really upset using it's calling function. If I call someone he is not able to listen to me where I can listen to him perfectly. I have already checked all settings but it doesn't work. Can anybody help me please.

  • Dear All, I just bought s8-50 last week from flipkart. My views are; It's a good tab with a short battery life, say 3-4 hours with normal usage. I am facing a problem,if i call someone he is not able to listen to me where as I can listen to him perfectly. I have already checked all settings but not able to rectify / set this problem. Can anybody help me please.

Like that in sleep mode 3. Etc etc etc And there is no response from Lenovo for the above issues at their own Web page means what?,,,,, forget and avoid the brand lenovo ????!!!

And as of nw its wrking fi9 but heats up while playng games or wrkng fr long hrs.... and flip cases r available in ebay bt no screen protector is yet available in Indian market.

  • Go with Lenovo Tab S8. Its specifications are much much better. Fonepad 8 will give you 9-10 hours of battery life so not that much of a difference.

  • Can anyone recommend some cases and how do i put percentage indicator next to battery life?

  • Thank you. So i must buy asus fonepad 8? Fonepad 8 only 4000 mAh. Lenovo tab s8 4290 mAh.

  • How about asus fonepad 8 it's only 4000 mAh? lenovo tab s8 4290 mAh.

  • Lenovo Tab S8 is better but battery life could be a problem for you. The Tab S8 battery will last only for 5-6 hours on moderate usage that too on low brightness. It takes no less than 3 hours to charge it completely from 10% to 100%.

  • Hello anyone can help me????? I must buy Lenovo tab s8 or Asus fonepad 8? i want 8" inch tablet. СпаÑ�Э;¸Ð±Ð¾,Thank you. PLEASE ANSWER.

  • Thanxx

  • Very nice tablet. Super display with amazing sound quality. I think this is under-marketed product. Only issue I saw is with otg, that too while transferring large data. Else too good. Great calling feature... Didn't try 4g yet.

  • Hi Sony, Technology progresses rapidly, new devices are released every quater. So its always better to wait. The prices go down, new devices surpass the previous generation etc. I would suggest you to wait for 3-4 months as very capable tablets are yet to be released as I mentioned previously. I think most of the relevant topics about this Tab are covered in the previous comments here. You can read reviews at online shopping sites also. If this Tab fulfills your needs and if you can live with its shortcomings then go ahead and buy it if you cannot wait that long.

  • Calling tab

  • is this a calling tab or not

  • Hi Nikhil, Can you just tell me that if I should buy this tab or wait for any other tabs to be released.. Please reply...

  • Thanks a lot Nikhil, My friends also offered me to go with z ultra as it is quite refined device, and as you have already told that it's a phablet and can't generate larger view but it's all okay for me as i came across with that in an store, screen clarity is quite good and can you believe it's quite responsive though used heavily, not sure what are the things that lenovo can beat that beast but in my view you guided me a lot about, and my verdict is Z ULTRA. Once again thank you so much for guiding me through. Have a nice day.......

  • Hi Shady, Yeah the Xperia Z Ultra is quite a steal specially after the price drop. The Tab S8 has a bad battery life. It won't last all day. Hence you cannot use it as your primary device. The Z Ultra also has low battery life but from what I have read it is better than the Tab S8 in this regards. It will certainly last all day. The screen size difference is big, it may not seem so but it is. Tab S8 has considerably larger screen. I consider Z Ultra as a 'Phablet' and S8 as a 'Compact Tablet'. While both devices aren't portable the Z Ultra can be carried in the pocket and be used with a bluetooth headset like a phone. Sound quality is not good on Tab S8 through headphones (Xperia L>Tab S8>Moto G 1st Gen) Z Ultra will be better at Sound Quality. Output through Speakers is louder on S8. I meant the screen has a yellowish tint. The whites are yellow the colours are warm. Not very noticeable in isolation but next to Nexus 7 2013 or a Caliberated Monitor you can see the difference. Z Ultra has a very good screen it almost matches Samsung's AMOLEDs. Performance wise Tab S8 has better CPU, Z Ultra has better GPU The OS and apps are more polished on the Xperia I would suggest you to go with Z Ultra its a better overall package and a very good value. It was a Sony flagship at some point of time. But remember its a phablet not a tablet.

  • what should i buy if i go for lenovo s8 and sony xperia z ultra, do 6.4 and 8" screen size make much difference ? i am getting confused between these two. what should i go for if its about overall use......... please reply, i will be waiting........ and yeah, what does it mean yellowish cast, and what is your opinion about sound in headphone or in ear headphone in lenovo s8............

  • Hi Tirtha, 1. I have tested it myself and I can confirm that this Tab works with Mouse, Keyboard, Pendrive and External Hard Disk. It can power an External Hard Disk all by itself (no need of a power source and Y cable). But it doesn't support NTFS out of the box, you will have to root your Tab and install an app like 'StickMount' or others to be able to use NTFS. It works fine with Fat32 formatted drives out of box. I have not tested it with any sort of Joysticks or Playstation/XBox controllers but they should work with root and necessary apps installed. 2. As it should be clear by now it all depends on screen time. During my headphone burn-in process the Tab lasted 28 hours on a full charge continuously playing 320kbps MP3 files with the screen off all the time. Taking your usage scenario under consideration the Tab can last 5-6 hours. Depends if you are playing high end games or casual games. So maybe 2.5 hours video an hour of moderate gaming and always connected to 3G and the Tab should last the entire day.

  • My query is regarding the battery backup and OTG support: 1. Does it support pendrive, mouse, keyboard or joystick via OTG cable? I'm asking this bcoz I really want this functionality and I have not seen any hands on videos of OTG usage. 2. Whats the average battery backup if everyday usage includes 3 hrs video playback and 2hr gameplay and 3G? Need a approx count. Thanks, Tirtha [email protected]

  • No fault in this tablet

  • I just started running mine, and can't believe how slow it is when downloading apps from Google Play! My WiFi connection is pretty fast and downloading on my old HTC phone is lightning fast. Any ideas how I can boost this?

  • Magnetic auto sleep cover cum stand not available in India It is inconvenient to use it without cover.lenovo or accessory manufacturers should have marketed it along with the tab. Battery is also not up to mark.

  • Hi frndz, anyone who got it already tried to put it in jeans pocket coz I don't want to use bag to carry it.. I know it's odd but just want to use it phone cum tab and carry it in easy way just like that. I know it's too big for pockets but am dawn tired to waiting for pice like that and expect battery this model is food especially front dual speakers so want it to buy it

  • I have had it now for some time,and i posted here earlier saying it was a nice upgrade to my 2012 nexus 7 1st. generation..SORRY. I was wrong..The battery life on the S8 is so bad, I can hardly use it. Postings about low battery life here are correct. And i cannot see a fix for it coming. Back to the old nexus tab..:(

  • Hello can anyone tell me how much does your tablets battery life last on continuesly playing video or games? My lenovo tab s8-50LC only last 3 hours and it shows that almost all the baterry used is from the screen. Oh and screen is always set on medium brightness. Is there something wrong with my tablet or is it normal?

  • infact of 4290mah battery how it is a bad tablet in terms of battery life

  • Its because of its screen. Its very power hungry and inefficient. In my battery stats the screen takes up 64%, Android OS+System 9% and remaining apps 27%. So you can see its not because of any software so you can't alter its battery life in anyway until and unless you replace the screen!

  • Hi nikhil I have used nexus 7 2013 and is it's battery can last for one and a half day on moderate usage it has 3900mah I think. How come lenovo s8 lasts for 6-7hr only?

  • If you can wait 3-4 months then better. Because many manufacturers like Samsung, Asus etc. have not refreshed their Tablet lineup yet. The Xiaomi MiPad 2 and Nokia N1 could be released in that time frame also. By that time you can get a better idea about the tablets by reading reviews. If you want a Tablet right now then this Tab is a good value for what you pay. So go ahead. With Non-Removable battery you are stuck with what the default battery offers. You cannot swap them. There aren't any Tabs with removable battery as far as I know. I have downloaded and read the repair manual from Lenovo website for this Tablet. The battery replacement is fairly easy can be done at home also. So in case the battery fails you can easily fix it.

  • No there is no Problem,I am using this Tab from last 2 weeks.Awesome Tab,Not a single problem occurred.

  • I want to But Lenovo Tab S8, Any one please tell me is there and faults in these Tab

  • its 4G/LTE doest not support Indian bands...any buyer had tested it yet ???? Kindly comment....

  • Mine takes no less than 3 hours to charge from 15% to 95%. To fully charge it takes around 3.5 hours. This is with the included 1.5A charger, it will take longer with other mobile chargers (1A to 1.3A) and even longer with a USB connection to a PC (500mA). If you are buying a new charger I would suggest you to go with 1.5A or upward charger. 2A will be faster but may hurt the battery in the long run. If you are happy with the Tab then keep it otherwise return it. I would have taken the refund for the charger and kept the tablet. Battery Life: I am getting 6-7 hours of battery life with: 3 hours of browsing on Wifi at 40% brightness 2 hours of night reading at minimum (0%) brightness 2 hours of apps/games and video at 40% brightness Standby is good very little discharge at night. I keep the Tablet in Aeroplane Mode and GPS off (Location Off) and use them only when necessary. If you are continuously connected to the Mobile Network through SIM and use Cellular Data then expect even worse battery life. I am mostly using it indoors so if you are using it outdoors expect around 4-5 hours with high brightness. I am disappointed with the screen. Its Yellow! No matter how high you keep the brightness it still has a yellowish cast. I would prefer cold (blueish) colours any day over this yellowish cast if the screen cannot replicate neutral colour temperature. Lenovo please fix this screen, make it blue if not neutral or give us modes like Yoga Series with software update, make using this tablet less miserable. Also has anyone had any luck with Screen Protectors and Cases for this Tablet in India? I can't seem to find any. The ones which are available are priced so high! I am not going to pay as much as a Class 10 16GB MicroSD Card for a single piece of plastic. It doesn't even cost that much to manufacture, total ripoff! Cases are all Generic in variety. They are bulky with ugly contraptions to keep the Tablet in place.

  • Hey should i buy this TAB? Because it fits mt requirements but after i read the comments, I'm wondering if I this one or not.. Also tell me what is the drawbacks o non removable battery..

  • Can any one tell me when is it being launched in Pakistan or Middle East?

  • Thanks Nik for clarifying the doubts.Btw,Did you notice it takes longer to get fully charged?Also,the charger I got was not working,so shall I Return the whole package or accept the 500 rs refund from Flipkart?

  • Could anyone suggest a good cover for the lenovo s8 tab? I prefer a rubberized cover, but anything is fine

  • The Lenovo Tab S8 obviously. It has better Processor/GPU, more RAM, is more Slim, Compact and Lightweight, is more Stylish, has better Cameras and almost the same battery capacity (4290mAH vs 4550mAH of Dell Venue 8 3000)

  • Just to be clear the dot pattern is not visible under normal usage. You cannot make it out at normal viewing distances. Its only visible when light reflects off the screen and you look at it up close to your eyes. This isn't an issue or something to worry about.

  • I have been observing the dotted pattern on screen, for those who don't know the Entire Screen of the Tab has Dots of Grey Colour against the Black Background. Here is that pattern: dropbox.com/s/y82l3vhl6yi9cvb/2.jpg?dl=1 Here is the full photo: dropbox.com/s/vrr45mwh8bi31n4/1.jpg?dl=1 Do you see the pattern on the left and right side of the flash? The flash illuminates just a single column, this pattern is on the entire screen. This pattern is visible while using the Tab. It appears in the darker sections/areas of the screen, whether it be videos, application, games etc. It happens when light reflects off the screen. And the display is very reflective. The problem is that you tend to keep the brightness down in order to conserve the battery (Tab has bad battery life) and when the brightness is low you see these patterns on the screen due to reflections. If you increase the brightness the patterns disappear in the coloured regions of the screen but are still present in the blackish regions of the screen. Due to low contrast of the screen everything appears whitish at high brightness and its eats battery quickly. So you have to choose between Low brightness, ok battery life, patterns on screen with reflections Or High brightness, bad battery life, whitish screen with pattern still visible in black areas

  • Hi, Comparing Lenovo S8 and Dell Venue 8 which one is preferable in your perspective ?

  • THANKS A LOT DJB/NIKHIL.You people have provided me a Huge sign of Relief!Yeah I agree,there's No issue once the LCD is turned on. Btw,I would like to mention,the bundled charger is one of the most disgusting you will ever see.So hard to insert.Mine was not working,Flipkart provided me some Refund into my wallet to buy a new Charger.

  • How is the battery life and cons and pros of it

  • Hi Rishi, at this point I would only recommend 4 Tablets: If you want a 7 inch tablet then Nexus 7 2013 32GB Wifi or 3G version If you want a 8 inch tablet then Yoga 2 Tablet 8 inch, but if you don't like its form factor (like me) then Lenovo Tab S8 If your budget allows and if you can live with 16GB memory and Wifi only then Nexus 9 Wifi is a no brainer With any Nexus Tablet you will get Unprecedented Hardware/Software/App/Game/Mod/Tweak/Accessory Support They are very popular with consumers and developers Android OS is also very optimized (Minimal Lag) With Lenovo Yoga 2/Tab S8 you will get Expandable Memory and Voice Calling They are more stylish. Good for average users.

  • I am using a Class 10 Sandisk 32GB MicroSD Card with the Tab. It works great. The Tab should work fine with a 64GB card too.

  • Yes mine also displays B. Weird because I was also hoping for K.

  • Yes I see it too. But only when the screen is off. When the screen is on its just like any other LCD.

  • Yes I have also seen but not sure if that creates any problem

  • I feel the Tab is best at this price point and also 4G ready.Btw,I just wanna ask one question from the ones who has this tab,Do you see some dotted vertical pattern on the external glass,when the display is off?Is it normal

  • Flipkart shows the expandable memory is 64gb.. is that true? does not it work smooth with 64gb microsd?

  • Thanks Nikhil Pls.suggest other best tab this rang in 2 GB ram.

  • Hi, could you check Settings->About tablet-> android 4.4.2 . On clicking it continuously does it show the letter K, symbolic for Kitkat OS? Mines showing B,which is weird.Even in my phone its K! Could you check?

  • I got this tab from flipkart.Till now the tab has been performing really good.The sound system, dolby is amazing.Very useful while watching movies and all. Camera is Okay. But the android version is 4.4.2 and on clicking it, it shows the letter B instead of K for kitkat :-| Is that weird? Anyone else having the tab can confirm on the same??

  • Here is my experience with the Lenovo Tab S8 (Model: S8-50LC) Pros: Its compact, slim, lightweight and has appropriate bezel size I like the finish on the back, the tablet looks great and doesn't feel cheap Display is good, crisp, bright and vivid but little low on contrast Stereo Speakers are loud but lack depth Cameras are good enough for a tablet The Intel Processor and GPU are very capable 2 GB RAM USB OTG Support 3G/4G + Calling Minimal Bloatware Inbuilt app called Security HD is good with essential features like Permission Manager Inbuilt Video Player has Pop Up playback support Browsing is fast and smooth Android 4.4.2 and apps are themed to mimic iOS (also no app drawer but its all fixable) some may like it some may not but it looks modern and fresh In app performance is great but it stutters while switching between apps during multitasking and while in the default launcher. Lenovo is to blame here because hardware is good Root is available for the Tab at XDA Its seems to be USB 3.0 Minimum packaging, no headphones included. Doesn't bother me as all boxed headphones are of poor quality. Cons: Biggest drawback of this Tab is the Battery Life! I guess this is the price you pay to have a thin and light tablet. No app or software update is going to help because it has only 4290mAH battery and the main cause of battery drain is a hardware i.e. the Screen. With light usage you may need to charge it once every day Limited Colour Gamut. Screen doesn't have full sRGB coverage. The colours are not accurate. May bother someone like Photographers. Nexus 7 2013 has 100% sRGB coverage and more accurate colours No Gorilla Glass No Screen Protectors and Cases available No Auto Brightness Boxed USB cable is short in length and has a very tight fit, almost damaging the USB connector. So I am using another USB cable No MultiWindow mode provided like the one in Yoga Tablets despite having the same hardware No Magnetometer MicroSIM slot has very low tolerance hence if you have cut your SIM at home (or haven't cut/punched it appropriately) then it will get stuck in the Tablet! Had to buy a new SIM because of it Inbuilt Music Player is bad better get something like Poweramp Audio Quality is poor (Xperia L sounds better). Dolby is just a software gimmick. The DAC in it is cheap. Can't expect much at this price. x86 Compatibility issues. Like some Xposed modules don't work and some may cause boot loop. Minimal Developer Support. Questionable future Android Updates. No ROMs Conclusion: All in all its a good tablet for the price you pay. If you really want an 8 inch tablet then this tablet is the best (Sony Z3 Compact Tablet is better but way more costlier) Otherwise Nexus 7 2013 is a better option at 7 inches If you have any Questions/Queries you can ask me. Just use the Reply button.

  • Had to replace my new Samsung Galaxy Tab3 after a few days as it didn't have Bluetooth 4, which I need to draw using a Leica laser. Better quality tablet, little bloatware which as indicated can be removed. It is very light and fits comfortably in my paw. Waiting to see when someone will start selling the little pouches with a Bluetooth keyboard. My better half has not seen my latest acquisition, as then she'll want one too.

  • I think its 4G/LTE doest not support Indian bands...any buyer had tested it yet ???? Kindly comment....

  • Hi, i wanana buy lenovo s8 Tab.I just wanna know how's the overall performance of the tab. Please suggest.

  • I don't think so. It doesn't have a regular USB,just a microUSB

  • No,but it does support cast.

  • I love this tablet, I hope it's available in Indonesia ASAP

  • Does this sexy looking tab support hdmi?? Cheers!!

  • why is this tablet got such a poor distribution and shipping to some countries ?

  • hi all, can i connect my 1tb external hard disk to this tab? thanks in advance

  • Well atleast the one sold in India is very Bloat free. Can't comment on other region's variant. Lenovo may have more tie-ups in those regions and they may have more bloat.

  • I bought this Tablet few days back and it has minimal bloat (3-5 Apps) which are all removable. There are some very useful Lenovo apps like Secuity HD it has an Ad Blocker built-in, App Manager (Unistall, Freeze, Move), Permisson Manager and Task Manager + System Cleaner. Its very clean Tablet out of the box. It isn't anywhere near the Samsung Bloat Level.

  • Yes this tablet supports USB OTG. You can connect Pendrives, Keyboard, Mouse etc. Lollipop update is questionable, depends on Lenovo. Developer support is very minimal for this tablet, so if you want Lollipop you should go with a Nexus.

  • Yes it supports Headphones and Headphones with Microphone and Controls. Why Lenovo didn't provide one in the box is an open question. Maybe to keep the costs down. The boxed headphones are always poor in quality, so doesn't bother me.

  • Yes but one should wait for its official release of lollipop update

  • Be aware of bloatware from Lenovo phones and tablets.

  • Is tablet supported to head phone? Because no headphone in the box.

  • can we insert a pen drive into it? Will it get lollipop update.

  • I had brought this Tab yesterday.Yes it has little call drop problem. Overall performance is too good.Best Product from Lenovo.

  • yes

  • Anyone please answer my question, this tablet able to upgrade lollipop? Thanks

  • niCE

  • I like this & need this as soon as possible

  • I like this & need this as soon as possible

  • I tried call and tablet says"not supported"

  • yes its a calling tab

  • Does it have any technical problems?? Can we call from this tab?

  • Its Intel Z3745. The CPU and GPU combo is more powerful than the Snapdragon 800 and Adreno 320/330 GPU. Its GPU is almost on par with the one in Tegra 4 and its CPU is way better than the Tegra 4. It uses 22nm scale fabrication which is the latest on mobile side of things. Hence it runs cooler and is more energy efficient than any other processor.

  • Its available on the Lenovo Website. The Indian website:

  • Where did you get it from? Is it available anywhere online with International Shipping (the 3G/LTE version)???

  • Yes it supports Voice Calling. I have seen a Video Preview and it has a Dialer App.

  • Hey everyone, does anyone know where can I purchase this tablet from in India. I want the 3G/LTE version. I inquired Lenovo but they didn't reply. I searched thoroughly online but didn't find it anywhere. Just send me a link to the store that ships to India. Thanks in advance.

  • When it will be out for sell

  • i need to read the reviews first before buying this tablet...i'm interested on this tablet...

  • why this tab not coming to indonesia?? Poke LENOVO

  • Lenovo tab s8 or Fonepad 8 ?

  • Yes, there is flash. This can be seen in the pic in which back side of the tab is shown.

  • Does anyone know if it supports generic android tablet keyboard/cover combo? It shouldnt be a problem, right?

  • does it really have flash and voice calling?

  • where did you get it now?@Dolle

  • Can any one tell, when this tablet will be released in INDIA. AM eager in purchasing this.

  • Received this tablet, nice size, low weight, screen looks very good. Intel processor chews through whatever you put at it. All in all it felt very good. A nice upgrade from the Asus 7 tab i was used to.

  • ya you can use pendrive via otg cable

  • wow! i like this tab, when will it be release here in our country? i can't wait....

  • not yet

  • I ordered this one, its on the way unless I was scammed. I only ordered because of Intel internals (I use Motorola Razr I with Intel, fantastic phone!) I will let you know, should be here this week.

  • Today I noticed, that the support documents (user and repair manuals) are available at lenovo site (support section). So I think it will be a matter of time to see this beauty on the shelves.. (Propably first in the U.S and then :( in Europe)
