Camera and Entertainment
There is single camera, a VGA camera on the front. Camera quality is no good. The Lenovo Tab 2 A7-10 can play full HD videos.
Gaming
I played asphalt 8, the game got installed on the internal storage. Game play was very smooth. The Tab is powerful and can play many high end games, but the game are getting installed on the internal storage – you may run out of space if you are install many high end games.
Others
The tab support Dolby sound, it sounds great on earphone. There is a single speaker on this tablet and it is placed on the front.
No other issues found with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth. There is GPS but I guess it is not much of use unless you are using the net (or if you download the maps and use it offline) and since there is no built in SIM slot you will need to use Wi-Fi to connect to Wi-Fi source.
Battery
There is 3450 mAh that does a pretty good job with about 4 to 5 hours of usage time.
