Lenovo Smart Paper review – very good E-Ink Android tablet
Verdict
The Lenovo Smart Paper is a very nice E-Ink tablet. It has a big 10.3″ screen which is very comfortable for long hours of usage. The resolution of the panel is decent (1872 x 1404), and the anti-glare coating is a life-saver when you’re not in a dimmed room. You can also bump the brightness or you can leave the Auto Brightness function to do its job depending on the light conditions. You can use the tablet the old-school way, ergo, to touch the screen with your fingers but we can recommend the Smart Pen for any kind of operation.
The pen is such a great feature, it can “rest” on the left bezel of the screen but when you want some “action”, it can impress you with smooth gliding and precise handwriting, drawing, sketching, etc. As we said earlier, you can write and add comments in books which is definitely a rare feature.
You can also open different eBooks, pdf, and docx files, you can use Google Drive, and other standard things like Email, Calendar, Clock, Calculator, etc. Firefox is preinstalled so you can start to browse the Web immediately, or you can download an apk file of Google Chrome and install it as well.
Yes, because the tablet is Android-based, you can manually install apk files to see if your favorite programs can work on this device. Maybe power users will like this feature but the average user will most likely use this gadget as is. We can just moan about the absence of the Google Play Store but since it’s an E-Ink tablet, we’ll accept that. Luckily, you can install the Kindle application and use it too (if you already have purchased books from there). The hardware from the inside of the device isn’t super powerful so the back of the tablet is always pleasantly cool which is good news when you want to read books for long hours during a hot summer. The tablet is also thin and light and it’s very easy to use with one hand.
