The Lenovo Tab One is Lenovo’s small, inexpensive Android tablet, and it comes with a folio case already in the box. A MediaTek Helio G85 processor runs the software, paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage that can be expanded with a microSD card. Battery life comes to about 12.5 hours of YouTube streaming per charge. You also get dual speakers tuned by Dolby Atmos for surprisingly good sound.
Head over to Amazon to get the Lenovo Tab One for just $110, down from its usual price of $135. That’s a $25 discount and 19% off.
A small but mighty Android tablet that’s perfect for multiple use cases
The size of this 8.7-inch tablet puts it somewhere between a smartphone and a larger tablet in terms of portability, making it easy to hold the device in one hand while reading or watching video. The display has a resolution of 1340 by 800 with IPS technology that maintains color consistency whether you are tilting the screen or handing the device off to someone viewing it from a different angle. The brightness rating measures 480 nits, providing enough illumination to view the screen indoors and under shade outdoors. The display also has an anti-fingerprint treatment designed to minimize smudges on the glass surface.
The MediaTek Helio G85 is an eight-core chip with two performance cores at 2.0GHz and six efficiency cores at 1.8GHz, and an ARM Mali-G52 GPU handles graphics. That combination is built for streaming, browsing, and casual games rather than heavy editing work. There’s 4GB of RAM behind it, and 64GB of eMMC storage, with a microSD slot for more room for downloaded shows and music.
Battery life is rated at up to 12.5 hours of YouTube streaming, which covers a long flight or a couple of days of ordinary use without a charger. Lenovo says the charging is 15W faster than the previous generation, and it happens over USB-C. There is also a 3.5mm headphone jack on the tablet, which is worth knowing about since plenty of devices have dropped it.
Google Kids Space is built into the software, creating a separate space with age-appropriate apps, books, and videos when a child picks up the tablet. Family Link handles the parental controls around that, letting you set screen time limits and approve what gets downloaded. Android 14 is the operating system, with Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.3 for connections.
Buying the Lenovo Tab One at $110 rather than $135 also gets you the folio case, which usually costs extra on a tablet this size and doubles as a stand for propping the screen up. Storage starts at 64GB, so plan on a microSD card if a lot of video is going to live on the device.
