Bigger than the competition

Though it has a lot of good things going for it, its design isn't one of them. The Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70 is rather girthy and heavy. It's thicker and weighs more than its best competition.

Expandable microSD

To its credit, it does offer a microSD card slot that's expandable up to 64GB.

Basic blue back panel

The back of the tablet has a matte finish with a smooth texture. Its midnight blue hue has a subtle metallic shimmer that's visible in certain lights.

Good screen for a good price

Its best feature is the 10-inch full HD screen. It's the sharpest in its price range and, in comparison to the Amazon Fire HD 10, it displays a wider, more saturated range of colors.

Dolby-powered speakers

To compliment its HD screen, the Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70 houses some of the most powerful speakers on a tablet its size.

By using the preloaded Dolby app, you can easily enhance audio for music, movies and games.

Ready for a close-up

There's an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. Both take sharp photos with accurate color.

This might sound like a small feat, but it's a big deal for a camera to have, not just one, but two good cameras on it.

To the left, to the left

All of the buttons are located on the left edge of the tablet.

For a simple budget buy, the Lenovo Tab 2 A10 isn't half bad. If you're interested in a tablet for watching video, you won't find much better for $200.
