In case you missed it, Lenovo just released a couple of budget 7 inch tablets into the market. One is a music-minded tablet, which you can check out here. The other is the Lenovo A3000, which is a quad core gaming tablet with 3G capabilities and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean out of the box at an affordable price. If you wanted a more affordable option to the 3G version of the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0, the Lenovo A3000 is it.

The Lenovo A3000 is a notable upgrade over the musically-inclined A1000. It too sports a 7 inch WSVGA screen (1024 x 600), but rather than a basic TFT screen, it uses an IPS display. The difference in image quality between the two tablets is very apparent and while the text won’t be any sharper, it just looks better.

It also features a 1.2GHz quad core MediaTek processor coupled with 1GB RAM. That makes it a very capable gaming machine that can run just about any game you throw at it. Add 16GB of internal storage and you’ve got a multimedia machine as well that can store your entire music library and a few videos too.

Probably the best thing I like about it is that it supports 3G data and dual SIM functionality at an SRP of just Php9,999. That’s pretty impressive considering the 3G version of the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 costs at least four thousand bucks more. You get the assurance that you’re buying from a trusted brand like Lenovo without having to spend nearly as much.

If you’re looking for a solid gaming tablet with 3G capabilities, or just a do-it-all tablet that won’t break the bank, the Lenovo A3000 is for you.
