Lenovo offer you will find some interesting proposals – each of them there is something else. I tested the Lenovo S8-50L belongs to the family of stylish products. Indeed, at first glance, it does not spared on design unit, seeking to build equipment with elegant lines and eye-catching appearance. But if the design is the only advantage of this tablet?

CONSTRUCTION / WORKMANSHIP
Lenovo S8-50L had a positive impression on me right out of the box and did not stop to admire the next days of testing. Some things, however, remain unchanged. Lenovo still relies on plastic very similar to this, with whom I met on the occasion of new reviews, cheap tablet from A. The front of the family was neatly landscaped. 8-inch display perfectly centered and covered with a hard glass, which yields only for compressing two thumbs. Of course, not rezygnowałbym of purchase or at least the protective film protective case, but it should be noted that during his stay in the manic editorial device did not show up, no scratch on the screen. Digitizer lines are visible – they can be seen even in low intensity light. Though not hinder the tablet, but they can irritate your presence. Run around the screen narrow frame, wide enough to protect against accidental touch panel with your finger.Around the edges of the glass shell plastic display runs border that creates a unified whole with elements of masking the front stereo speakers, and the whole placed in a plastic body. The advantages of this solution I could already mentioned, when I wrote about the first impressions from the use of S8-50L. Tablet works well when watching movies or playing music, when you do not want to wear headphones. Play loud speakers (the volume reaches 81 dB), and the purity of the sound does not raise any objections. Similarly, as in the case of Lenovo A7600 A10-70, so here we find software that will allow you to personalize the sound, I will write more on that in the chapter on the system and applications. On the edges of the body (the part protruding beyond the borders of the display) will find a standard set of ports and connectors. In the upper part of the left edge of the fall, and a microSD card slot microSIM, hidden under the aesthetic cap. It is easy to open, and the closure remains immobile and firmly fixed to the housing. On the other side we find two silver buttons with superimposed grooves. One is used to wake the machine, and the other to adjust the volume. The buttons have shallow jump and nicely presented; questionable for their installation – buttons waver under the finger, especially the larger.

CAMERA
Photographic equipment we tested the model consists of an 8-megapixel camera and a single LED Illuminates. As it turned out, to use it you need to install an external camera application – we offer that since Google . It's hard to estimate how much it will be an important element for the future users, but usually pay attention if the camera has a built-in autofocus efficient and is able to record Full HD movies. These two elements are from my point of view, the most important and was encouraged to note their presence in the tested model. Lenovo uses a standard photographic Android application. So finding any number of settings to adjust the size and quality of your images and movies, but not as nearly as much as it has in the case of the Samsung tablet.

SCREEN
It's hard not to talk about the fact that Lenovo S8-50L has competition in the form of the Samsung Galaxy S Tab 8.4, the iPad Mini 3, Sony Xperia Tablet Z3 Compact and LG G Pad 8.3, if we consider the diagonal of the screen of the tablet. S8-50L, with the 8-inch IPS matrix operating at a resolution of 1920 by 1200 pixels, there is no reason to complexes. When the screen of this size, the use of resolution slightly greater than full HD translates to 283 ppi pixel density, which is at the Sony Xperia Tablet Z3 Compact and slightly less than the Retina screen mounted in two generations later iPad Mini (where the pixel density ratio is 324 ppi).

EQUIPMENT
Wi-Fi – 802.11 a / b / g / n – spisywało very well throughout the testing period. I have not encountered any problems when connecting to my battered, home router. It did not appear any problems while downloading large files (eg. Google's games from the store). Of course, WiFi sensitivity also checked on the basis of editorial router and our standard procedure. During the measurements, it turned out that after gripping the tablet by the upper part, substantially decreases the sensitivity of wireless communications – and they are drops of approximately 20 dbm, so noticeable. The following results have registered when you hold the device in a vertical orientation. In this position, he wrote well and did not lose the connection to the router even after changing the story.

BATTERY
S8-50L has a built-in rechargeable lithium polymer battery with a capacity of 4290 mAh – charging the device takes about 3 hours. I usually enough energy for one day, but I have to mention here that used the device on and off and to basic operations such. Reading books, surfing the web, using a modem 4G, listening to music on the built-in speakers and play movies on VOD. Left in standby mode-enabled Wi-Fi, the tablet lasted about 20 hours. The results of extensive testing can be found below. [Test slug = "battery" virtual = "video-wifi-off, internet-wifi, internet-3g-wifi communicator, charging-ac" product_id = "20188"] The poor performance of the tablet corresponds to the energy-efficient embedded processor questionable. This is not the first time that the Intel Atom demonstrates his considerable appetite for energy, especially when performing some operations. It is true that in the previously tested Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 (which works on the same system) for the length of time for charging not complained, but there was at stake other battery capacity. Meanwhile, the slim Lenovo has S8-50L weakest link, and at the same time has to compete with Sony Xperia Tablet Z3 Compact (4500 mAh) and Samsung Galaxy S Tab 8.4 (4900 mAh), which test Internet browsing using Wi-Fi recorded respectively 9 and 7 hours.
PERFORMANCE / FUNCTIONALITY
Intel Atom Z3745 is a very powerful unit – especially if you look at the tabletom we tested last year, when it was dominated by models with media library. Mounted system with a 4-core processor clocked at 1.8GHz with a maximum 64-bit architecture could successfully handle Windows 8.1. Adding to the Intel Graphics HD Graphics (Bay Trail-T) with a maximum computing power 778 MHz and 2-gigabyte RAM, can not be denied that the tablet has a considerable hardware.

The use of 64-bit Intel system will interfere with the pre-installed on the tablet version of Android 4.4.2 KitKat, which does not support the installed processor architecture. We can not be sure that the tablet will receive an update to Android 5.0, but I have to mention that during the testing of the tablet appeared fix the system. This augurs well. Unlike Lenovo tablets I've tested so far, has a very well S8-50L Polonised cap system, which work culture deserves praise. Have not noticed any problems with the stability of the application. The fluidity of the system also does not raise my objections. Overlay, though rich in various animated transitions, working with his characteristic lightness.

SUMMARY / EVALUATION / OPINION
Astute readers will notice that throughout the test had never appeared directed at Lenovo, the term "Chinese producer". It was not done on purpose – it comes from the fact that during the testing S8-50L I had the impression that I use the cheap, Chinese tablet. The equipment makes a good impression right from the start and it seems that a few things you can not really fault. The main disadvantages of the device I include heating of the housing, which at the time of playing or surfing the web, is warmer than most devices we have ever tested. I'm not thrilled uncertain backlit tablet which behave strangely while using the device. Finally, the battery – after all runs on the battery could be a bit longer.
