It’s been more than five months since Lenovo introduced its Tab E line of low-cost Android tablets, but the company’s cheapest tablet with a 10 inch display is just now becoming available in the United States.
The Lenovo Tab E10 is now available for $106.
The tablet is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 212 quad-core processor and features 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM and 16GB of built-in storage. It also has a microSD card slot for up to 128GB of removable storage.
With a 10.1 inch, 1280 x 800 pixel IPS display, the tablet isn’t exactly winning the pixels-per-inch war (it has 150 ppi), but it should offer decent viewing angles.
Other features include stereo front-facing speakers, a 5Mp rear camera with auto-focus and a 2MP fixed-focus front camera, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a micro USB 2.0 port, and a 4,850 mAh battery.
The tablet supports 802.11b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 4.2 and it measures 9.7″ x 6.7″ x 0.35″ and weighs about 1.16 pounds.
If you’ve got a little more money to spend, Amazon’s $150 Fire HD 10 tablet has a higher-resolution display, twice as much memory, and longer battery life… but it also ships with Amazon’s Fire OS instead of the near-stock Android software you get with Lenovo’s tablet.

Have a Chromebook, or looking to buy one? Google is giving away free copies of DOOM and DOOM II as a perk. It joins …
The Nook 10.1 is another alternative. It offers 1920×1200 resolution, 32GB of storage, Android 8.1 and no Amazon “special offers” for $130.
Buyers beware. They went extremely cheap on the CPU. I have seen $75 tablets with faster processors a couple of years ago. Avoid this like the plague!

Thanks for the info. This is an old model tablet. The article you reference says that the 212 was an entry level chip in 2015.
At 1.16lb (525g) it’s also really heavy… I find that weight uncomfortable to hold for long periods (I haven’t had a tablet that heavy for a few years now)
