Amazon Fire 7 (2017) vs Lenovo Tab 4 8

The Fire 7 is only around $50, but in terms of build quality and performance, it is easily comparable with $200+ tablets. The chassis is durable, and it will easily survive a fall to the ground. Apps load fairly quickly; streaming videos and playing games, for the most part, works very well, although it does occasionally feel sluggish.

One charge lasts for about 8 hours of normal use, which is on par with more expensive 200 and 300 dollar tablets.

This tablet has you covered in terms of basic functionality. You can browse the web, read books and articles, and listen to music and audiobooks. It also comes equipped with Amazon's virtual assistant - Alexa. You can ask her to set an alarm, check the weather, jot down a shopping list, and so on.

The Fire 7 has a decent 1024 x 600 display with good contrast that makes the text of a book look clear and sharp.

This tablet is only 7 inches in diagonal, it won't take much space in the bag and you might even fit it in the pocket of your jacket.

The Lenovo Tab 4 can last for up to 10 hours, which should be enough for a couple of days of light use.

This tablet is a great option to get with $150. It’s not common to find such an affordable option with this kind of features, and the Tab 4 surely delivers on what it promises.

The Tab 4’s IPS 1280 x 800 touchscreen offers good image quality for this prince range, even if it’s clearly not as good as the displays found on premium tablets. Still, it’s more than enough for comfortably watching shows or web browsing.

The Lenovo Tab 4 is ideal for users that don’t need a very powerful or performant tablet, but rather a solution that works well for most daily tasks, like internet browsing, watching TV shows or movies, or undemanding gaming. Its technical features, such as the 1280 x 800 display or the Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 processor with 2GB of RAM, guarantee that it handles this type of task very well, even while multitasking or running applications in the background.
