Powering the tablet is a MediaTek Helio G80 SoC which is a significant improvement over the Helio A22 in Tab M8.

You can choose the tablet with up to 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage. Likewise, the device gets its juice from a 5100mAh battery that charges via a 10W USB-C adapter.

Rest of the specs

For your camera needs, the company has included an 8 MP sensor on the back which supports autofocus, by the way. And there is a 2 MP shooter on the front for video chats. Furthermore, because the Helio G80 is a 4G SoC, cellular connectivity is limited to LTE. Other wireless connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.1, and GPS. Thankfully, Lenovo has included a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSD card slot, both of which are essential for a low-cost tablet.
