In 2013, at the MWC exhibition, the company exhibited three new gadgets, one of which is the hero of our review - the Lenovo S6000 tablet. Its characteristics can not be called "top", but as for the budgetary they are quite good.

Judging by the technical characteristics, the Lenovo S600 tablet has almost typical characteristics for budget models. The only thing that strongly distinguishes it - the presence of a very powerful battery, which prolongs the tablet in standalone mode for several days. But about this a little later.

Equipment

The Lenovo S6000 tablet comes in a compact carton box. After removing the cover, you can see a modestly lying gadget with the charger, adapter, USB cable and instructions for use under it. But users have the opportunity to buy an additional keyboard, HDMI cable and various adapters.

Appearance

At the first inspection, the Lenovo IdeaTab S6000 tablet creates a pleasant impression. The beautiful black front is very impressive. The back side has a more gray tint, but also causes only positive emotions.

Clearly in the center, on top of the screen, is the front camera, and the bottom is the inscription Lenovo. To the great regret, the glass on the front part does not have an oleophobic coating and for this reason it gets dirty very fast. A fairly wide border around the sensor minimizes the chance of accidentally clicking on it while holding it with one hand. There is nothing superfluous on the back panel. Only the 5 megapixel camera is located next to the left speaker.

Above (if you hold the tablet horizontally) are: the power-off button and the microphone. The right edge and the bottom are completely freed from any buttons and outputs. On the left are the volume control button in the form of a rocking chair, outputs for USB and HDMI, a headphone jack and a stub, when you open it you can see two SIM slots and a memory card.

Display

The tablet Lenovo S6000 quite bright colorful display. And although its performance is already a bit outdated, in some cases it seems like a full-fledged Full HD. But the screen here is made using an outdated version of the WXGA IPS-matrix with a resolution value of 1280x800 pixels.

The color reproduction is quite pleasant and the viewing angle is very large. The only thing is the presence of prints on the glass, which are visible when the tablet is tilted, due to the absence of an oleophobic coating. But this is a trifle, since it's still very good at its price category.

Cameras

Tablets of higher price categories, unlike state employees, are most often equipped with two cameras. But this does not apply to the Lenovo S 6000. Reviews about it almost always start with the admiration of having two video recorders of acceptable quality.

The main camera has a matrix of 5 megapixels. With its help you can take good pictures. But the main condition is the presence of good lighting. There are no outbreaks, in the case of cloudy weather in the video and photos there are various noises. A front camera of 0.3 megapix can not really take pictures and you can not do a selfie, because the image is disgusting. But it is also intended for video communication, for which it is quite enough. For this reason, we will not focus on it.

Performance

The hardware part of the Lenovo S6000 tablet is built on the basis of a rather popular processor MediaTek model MT8389. It has 4 cores with a clock frequency of each to 1200 MHz. These parameters are enough to run not very "heavy" games and applications. In addition, 1 GB RAM will allow you to quickly respond to actions.

Has a tablet Lenovo S6000 3G module and memory size 16 GB. This is enough to store a couple of seasons favorite show and the library. The system itself is allocated approximately 5 GB. By including all the modules, surfing the Internet or editing documents, you can not watch the slowdowns. The graphics core PowerVR SGX544 is not so strong as to "pull" colorful 3D games without problems, and very often there is a hang of frames. This is unpleasant, but can be solved using applications on smaller parameters.

Battery

About the battery the Lenovo S 6000 tablet has the best reviews. All this thanks to a capacity of 6300 mAh. Tests have shown that with a moderate use of the gadget it is enough for autonomous operation for several days.

Watching HD movies online (via Wi-Fi connection) and lowering the brightness to average parameters, users note the survivability of the battery in the form of 11 hours of continuous operation. Agree, for a tablet with a ten-inch screen, which refers to the budget variant, this indicator is very high. After the battery is completely discharged to its 100% filling, it takes only 3 hours.
