kakabili ko lng knina sa SM MOA, sa lenovo store mismo, last stock n sya..P9,999
kalikot muna ako..
so far magada screen nya, kala ko pangit kc mababa daw yung ppi, pero ok sya.. malinaw sya..

Initial Remarks:
Antutu Score ko, 13,700
Dual Sim
ok screen, maliwanag sya..
Malakas wifi compared dun sa isang gadget ko.
16gb internal
walang kasamang screen protector and earphone :(
ok yung UI nya..
mga built in apps nya youtube,skype,norton,kingsoft,chrome,evernote,lenovo power saver..etc.
no flash sa cam, ok kuha ng cam kapag maliwanag pero pag madilim panget :)

di ko p natest battery endurance, nung unang nalobat ako, from 10% nagcharge ako, it took 3hrs para ma fullcharge, using 1.5mah stock charger..
d ko pa natest sound quality kapag naka earphone, pero sa speaker nya ok nman na sya, malakas sound nya..

I’m really torned between this and the asus phonepad. This has better cpu, becasue phonepad as per review has a considerably weak single core atom one, but the latter has a better screen and resolution. Build-wise, I still don’t know lenovo’s when it comes to tablets and smartphones.

Any suggestion? I’m looking for a tablet with full phone and 3G functionality that’s below 15k if possible. If only the new nexus 7 is available locally.

Fonepad may be single core, but it’s Intel, not ARM.

Maganda build quality ni Lenovo. Military grade ung laptops nila eh, so asahan na matibay dn tablet. Kso lang, late gamer na cla.

Nexus 7 2013? Meron na sa kimstore ata or widgetcity. Meron ding retailers d sulit.

i already owned 2 lenovo smartphones. at masasabi ko talagang sobrang hig ng quality ng lenovo smartphones. nahulog ko na ang phone ko 2 times at nahulog pa sa balde na may tubig. at sobrang saya ko kasi di talaga siya nasira. ibig sabihin matibay ang products nila. itong ideatab a3000 powerful nga ang CPU niya at may 5mp autofocus camera, ang problema lang ay low kasi ang resolution ng screen niya, pero pareho silang IPS display. ang advantage naman ng fonepad, Hd ang screen niya at mas mabilis sila magbigay ng software updates kaya mas recommended ko ang fonepad :D pero itong lenovo ideatab, mas mura din kaya ok padin kung yan pipiliin mo. :D

it is available…try widget city or kimstore…though i don’t think the nexus has a full phone capability…only 3g…in anyways nexus7 is the better choice…

n · 13 years ago

the new nexus 7 is available locally. check kim.com.ph and widgetcity.com.ph. But i think its only the wifi version that’s available right now.

Yeah tama! Nalaglag dn ung lenovo P700i ko habang nglalaro ng Temple Run 2 at naka 3 gulong sya and guess whatt, tumatakbo parin ung explorer (ikaw ba naman ang habulin ng demon monkey) yun lang

sharingan_yeah · 13 years ago

The specs are promising but I doubt the battery. Pero may tiwala naman ako sa Lenovo at ilang beses na niyang pinatunayan yun IMHO. It slayed SAMSUNG tbh.
