Linsay Octa Core 10.1-inch Tablet vs Lenovo Tab One TB305FU

Buy the Lenovo Tab One if you want a tablet that lasts a full day and travels easily. Its 13-hour battery, 11.3 oz weight and 4G option make it the better portable device, and owners rate it slightly higher. The Linsay wins on storage and screen size: 128 GB and 10.1 inches suit a household tablet that stays home and holds a lot of media. Both are budget tablets with 4 GB RAM, so expect modest performance either way.

  • Choose the Linsay if you want the biggest screen and storage for the money and the tablet will mostly stay at home.
  • Choose the Lenovo Tab One if you need all-day battery, a light build and optional 4G for travel.

Questions and answers

Which is better for watching video on the couch?
The Linsay, for its larger 10.1-inch screen. The Lenovo is brighter at 480 nits and has a 60Hz panel, so it looks smoother, but the smaller 8.7-inch size matters more for shared viewing.
Which lasts longer on a charge?
The Lenovo by a wide margin: up to 13 hours against roughly 5 to 6 on the Linsay. If the tablet leaves the house, the Lenovo is the safer pick.
Is the Lenovo worth stepping up to?
Yes if battery life, weight or 4G matter to you. The Linsay only makes more sense when you need the bigger screen and 128 GB of storage.
Which is better for a child?
The Linsay comes with a case and stylus and has a bigger screen, which suits home use. The Lenovo is lighter and tougher to drain, so it travels better.
Do both have 4 GB of RAM?
Yes. Both run 4 GB of RAM, so multitasking is similar. Neither is built for heavy gaming.
Can I add storage to either?
The Linsay lists a microSD slot. The Lenovo's 64 GB is fixed unless you use its card slot, so check before you buy if storage is your priority.
