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.

Task Time Battery drop (%) (max temp)
Running Benchmark apps 23 minutes 7% (34)
FHD video playback with Wi-Fi on + full brightness 19 minutes 7% (34)
Asphalt 8 Game Play 15 minutes 5% (35)

Verdict
If you are specially looking for a tablet with a low price tag, the Lenovo Tab 2 A7-10 is one of the best options available. The performance is very good and so is the price tag of under Rs. 5000. There is no built in 3G / 2G support, but you can use 3G enabled dongle (you will need check the dongle that will work).

Lenovo Tab 2 A7-10 is available for Rs. 4,849 exclusively on Snapdeal.com.
