Hardware
| Chipset Chipset is a group of integrated circuits designed to perform one or a more dedicated functions, often with real time computing constraints, Popular smartphones are equipped with more advanced embedded chipsets that can do many different tasks depending on their programming. | MediaTek MT8125 |
| CPU | Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 |
| GPU GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a single-chip processor designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display, This includes things such as lighting effects, object transformations, and 3D motion. | PowerVR SGX544 |
| RAM RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes that allows information to be stored and accessed quickly from random locations. RAM is the most common type of memory found in computer systems, smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices. | 1 GB |
| Internal Storage Internal Storage is a data storage space (flash memory) mostly used in smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices where operating system, apps, music, photos, videos, files and other user data Is stored. | 16GB |
| Memory Card Slot Memory Card Slot is a special slot for inserting a memory card. Memory cards allow you to expand the phone's built-in memory, A memory card (sometimes called a flash memory card or a storage card) is a small storage medium used to store data such as text, pictures, audio, and video, for use on small, portable or remote computing devices such as mobile phones, mp3 players, digital cameras. | Yes |
| Sensors Sensors are electronic components that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure and location, The output is generally a signal that is converted to use in computing systems, a location sensor, such as a GPS receiver is able to detect current location of your electronic device. | Accelerometer |
| 3.5mm jack | Yes |
| Loudspeaker | Yes |
Battery
| Capacity Battery Capacity is a measure (typically in Amp-hr) of the charge stored by the battery, and is determined by the mass of active material contained in the battery. The battery capacity represents the maximum amount of energy that can be extracted from the battery under certain conditions. | 6530 mAh |
| Battery Life | 8 hours |
Camera
| Rear Camera Camera is able to capture photographs and usually videos, The most important characteristics of a camera are the resolution (measured in megapixels), lens focus type (fixed or automatic), higher megapixel cameras are known to capture higher quality photos, but not always a good measurement of the photos quality. | 5 MP |

The S6000's IPS display as a standout feature that looks great. He also called out the micro HDMI port that allows playing videos on a TV. Performance seems snappy thanks to the quad-core MediaTek processor, which also handles 3D games well. - Notebook Italia |

The IPS LCD panel provides good image quality and viewing angles. On the software side, Lenovo takes a mostly stock Android approach but with some slight customizations like home screen widgets to differentiate. - PhoneArena |

I very impressed with the value Lenovo manages to deliver with the budget IdeaTab S6000. I recommend keeping an eye out for its launch soon, as it brings solid performance and features to a 10-inch form factor at a new low price - CNET |

Pros: - Lightweight and slim design makes it comfortable to hold - Quad-core processor provides smooth performance - IPS display with good viewing angles Cons: - 1280x800 resolution is low |
Lenovo recently unveiled the IdeaTab S6000, a new 10-inch Android tablet aiming for the budget market. The S6000 sports a slim and lightweight design that impressed in initial hands-on reviews, although its display and other aspects seem more middle-of-the-road.
Weighing 560 grams, the S6000 features one of the lightest chassis among 10-inch class tablets. It measures just 8.6mm thin as well.
Several reviewers highlighted the tablet's portability, commenting on its easy grip and comfort for extended viewing sessions. This compact construction comes at a very affordable $249 base price point for consumers.
Under the hood, a quad-core 1.2GHz MediaTek processor promises adequate performance for everyday tasks and casual 3D gaming. The S6000 also packs standard connectivity like micro HDMI-out, allowing video output to HDTVs. It ships with a stock Android 4.2 experience, rather than heavier manufacturer skins seen on pricier rivals.
However, Lenovo cut some corners on components to hit the low cost. The S6000’s 1280×800 IPS screen underwhelms next to the 1920×1200 or 2560×1600 resolutions found on many 2013 tablets.
While decent enough for the price, the display renders jagged text and images less smoothly. Viewing angles also suffer from color washout.
The tablet’s 5MP rear camera lacks a flash and other advanced controls as well.. And benchmark performance lags behind top-tier tablets with Snapdragon 800 or Tegra 4 silicon.
Still, the Lenovo S6000 shows promise as a secondary portable slate for web browsing and media enjoyment. It likely falls short as a productivity workhorse or graphical powerhouse compared to say, the iPad or Nexus 10.
Lenovo deserves credit for maximizing build quality and minimizing price. But with better spec’ed alternatives landing under $300 nowadays, the S6000 shapes up as more mid-range fare. It earns a spot as a viable budget option, if not a standout market shaker.
