The Lenovo company has pleased its fans with a ten-inch tablet. Although the device was released in 2013, it will have something to surprise the world. Undoubtedly, the S6000 tablet is suitable not only for games, but also for work.
Design
The device turned out to be quite inconspicuous and very large. The Lenovo Ideatab S6000 is suitable for users who are not picky about design and size. Although at 10 inches the length is 26 and the width is 18 cm - quite expected parameters, with a thickness of 8.6 mm there is a clear overkill. The user will definitely need a carrying bag, because this giant is unlikely to fit into a pocket.
In addition, the device does not have a wide range of colors. The buyer will be offered exclusively Lenovo Ideatab S6000 Black. The manufacturer does not provide other colors. The limited number of colors greatly affected the overall impression of the appearance. The tablet is inconspicuous, and the usual black color does not give it much solidity.
The device is made entirely of plastic, which is quite expected from a budget employee. The rear panel material is corrugated, which is made to improve operating comfort. The tablet feels confident in the hand, which is surprising considering its weight of 560 grams. Ease of use is entirely due to the grooved back.
The manufacturer took care and the protection allows you to avoid minor scratches and, more importantly, fingerprints. If they were large, hand marks would be a real nightmare. However, the device's drop protection is far from the best.
The tablet is assembled well, but squeaks in some places will still bother the user. There are no noticeable gaps, which is very good. The unpleasant moment was the slightly sagging rear end. For a budget employee, in principle, the device looks good, although with minor flaws.
The front part is reserved for the front camera, a large display, sensors and, of course, the company logo. The main camera, a glossy company sign and speakers were placed at the back. At the top there is a jack for headphones, as well as a power button. The manufacturer has noticeably overloaded the side panel on the left side. A USB connector, volume control, HDMI port, SIM card slot and space for a flash drive are located here.
A strange decision to place most of the nests on one side. Considering that the right side is completely free, the arrangement of the elements causes only bewilderment. On comfort of use, overload right side It shouldn’t have an effect, but it creates an unpleasant impression.
Display
The Lenovo Ideatab S6000 had a 10-inch screen. The diagonal hints that the tablet is perfect for working with documents and for entertainment. The sensor, which accepts ten touches, is also pleasing. Although, most likely, five will be enough for the user.
The resolution is fully consistent with a budget phone and is 1280 by 800. The number of pixels would look good on seven inches, but on big screen they are noticeable. At 149 ppi this is not surprising. The image is acceptable, although the user will notice the “cubes”.
The Lenovo Ideatab S6000 matrix uses IPS technology. This solution makes the display significantly brighter and improves its behavior in the sun. Of course, the screen glares a little due to bright lighting, but the situation is not critical. The technology has also increased viewing angles. You can view the screen in any position without significant distortion.
For a budget device, the display turned out to be very successful. Good resolution and matrix make themselves felt. It will be difficult for a fastidious user to detect flaws.
Camera
Filming is not the most strong point any tablet. The Lenovo Ideatab S6000 was no exception. The manufacturer installed a 5 megapixel “eye” as the main camera. The resolution, as in most similar matrices, is 2592 by 1936 pixels. Actually, you can’t count on quality. Photos come out faded and without small parts. Slightly blurry outlines of objects also hurt the eye.
If you don’t have a more advanced device with a camera at hand, the S6000 will do, but the result will be the same. Particular difficulties arise when shooting distant objects. The approximate distance at which the camera shows good results is 1-2 meters.
The device also has a front camera. The owner has access to a “peephole” with the usual 0.3 megapixels. The photo quality is simply terrible, so it's best to forget about this feature. The only thing the front camera can handle is video calls.
Hardware
The Lenovo Ideatab S6000 H has very powerful hardware for a budget employee. The device is powered by an MTK processor. Actually, from Chinese manufacturer I didn't expect anything else from cheap devices. Despite the low cost, the processor is powerful. The reason for the high performance was that MTK 8125 was created based on Cortex-A7.
The device received from the manufacturer 4 cores with a frequency of 1.2 GHz each. Overall, it turned out to be a good performance. The device will “click” for most tasks.
Things are much worse with the RAM. The device is equipped with only one gigabyte of RAM. There is enough RAM to work, but you can’t count on running really powerful games.
There are several variations of the native memory of Lenovo Ideatab S6000 16GB and 32GB. The already large volume can be supplemented with a card. The tablet works with micro-SD flash drives. The user can expand up to 64 GB.
System
The firmware of the S6000 tablet is not new. The device uses Android version 4.2. Although the system has not yet lost all its relevance, many new products will not be available to the user. The manufacturer has made its own additions on top of the standard version. This is noticeable in the folders that resemble widgets. This makes sorting files and applications much easier for the owner.
If desired, the firmware installed in the Lenovo Ideatab S6000 can be replaced with a more recent version. The user can update the system via wireless networks. You can also find several adequate assemblies on the Internet.
The advantage is that there are no useless applications. In the standard version, the user will encounter applications that cannot be removed. Unfortunately, this problem exists on all official systems.
Autonomy
Everyone knows that it is very gluttonous, and the manufacturer decided to improve the situation. A battery with a capacity of 6300 maH was installed in the device. The duration of work has increased significantly.
The maximum load on the device will drain the battery in 4-5 hours. We can say that this is a record for a public sector employee with such characteristics. Economical use increases the lifespan of the device up to 9 hours.
The main “eaters” of energy are the display, the system and Wi-Fi. By reducing the screen brightness, turning off unnecessary programs And wireless network, you can slightly increase the operating time.
Equipment
The device comes in a branded white box. In addition to Lenovo Ideatab S6000 H, the kit includes instructions, warranty, USB cable, network adapter, removable fork. The equipment is quite expected, but we should not forget about useful little things.
A case for a Lenovo tablet made of plastic will reduce the amount of damage. It will also be useful to purchase an HDMI adapter. Of course, such a cable is not essential, but it is still useful. You will need to supplement the package with a flash card. A protective film will also not be superfluous. The oleophobic coating can protect against scratches and fingerprints, but the display is not immune to drops.
Two versions
Manufacturers often produce identical devices with different characteristics. Usually, the parameters of one model can differ radically. This solution allows us to make a “light version” with a lower price. Lenovo also does not resort to this method.
In addition to the standard one, Lenovo Ideatab S6000 3G was also released. The differences between the devices are minimal. The version with 3G received GPS. There are also minor differences in the “filling”. The standard S6000 has an 8125 processor, while the 3G has an 8389. There is not much difference in performance.
The devices also differ in the amount of memory. There are versions with 16 and 32 GB. Although the differences are minor, they have a noticeable impact on the price. The buyer will have to choose, save money, or get a device a little more powerful.
Price
What attracts attention to the Lenovo Ideatab S6000 is its price. The device costs 11-12 thousand rubles. For most buyers, this price is very attractive and sets the tablet apart from its competitors. Despite minor shortcomings, the S6000 fully justifies itself and its cost.
Those wishing to buy the device will be faced with unpleasant news. The device has been discontinued and will be very difficult to find on shelves. However, there are also advantages. Prices for obsolete products are falling dramatically, and therefore the S6000 today can be purchased much cheaper.
Positive reviews
The model attracts attention with its huge display. The well-balanced screen appealed to many users. Naturally, there are minor complaints about the resolution and behavior in the sun, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. A significant viewing angle and brightness ensure comfortable work, and a sensor that accepts 10 touches is still relevant today.
The hardware also delighted Lenovo fans. There are not many devices with four cores among state employees. The processor is also not bad, because everyone already knows and trusts MTK products.
Installing a 6300 maH battery became great solution. Most of the owners chose the device because of its operating time. Users want to avoid being dependent on recharging, and the S6000 tablet provides that opportunity.
Surprisingly, the main advantage was the price and the capabilities of the device completely justify the cost. The budget nature of the device attracted most of the owners.
Negative reviews
The unprepossessing appearance of the device immediately catches your eye. The tablet does not stand out at all among the “gray mass” and does not attract much attention. The large dimensions and thickness of the device also have an impact. The case being made of plastic hints at the need to purchase an additional case for the Lenovo tablet.
As with most similar devices, the camera turned out to be a weak point. Perhaps the manufacturer should have gotten rid of the rear “eye” completely and improved other characteristics. The front camera is also not encouraging, 0.3 megapixels is not The best decision for video calls.
Having equipped its brainchild with good hardware, the company decided to save on RAM. As a result, the user will receive a powerful device with one gigabyte of memory. The RAM does not allow the device's potential to fully unfold.
The manufacturer’s desire to make money on an almost identical product is also upsetting. By making minor changes and adding 3G, the company increased the cost of the device. This situation looks funny. With dramatic changes, the release of an updated tablet would look much more interesting.
Firmware 4.2 was relevant several years ago. Now users want to update their gadgets to 5.0. However, the characteristics of the S6000 cannot cope with latest version. So the owners will have to put up with this shortcoming.
Bottom line
At one time, the S6000 tablet looked pretty good. However, all devices of previous years are forgotten after the release of more advanced models. And although the new products are superior to the S6000, it still has not completely lost all its relevance. The device is suitable for entertainment, work or watching movies while traveling.
Sometimes tablet users are faced with the need to flash their own device. If the system has already been updated several times, this process will not cause problems. Inexperienced users have mixed feelings: interest and fear at the same time. It is worth noting that, in fact, the process itself does not cause difficulties. For Lenovo s6000, firmware is installed via a computer using special program SP Flash Tool.
Why is firmware needed?
Firmware may be needed in the following cases:
- the device refuses to turn on (the firmware will help if the failure is software and not hardware);
- The tablet constantly reboots for unknown reasons;
- system recovery is required after a previous unsuccessful firmware update;
- you need to install Last update(developers are constantly improving firmware versions, so by installing the latest version, the user receives additional features).
Firmware instructions
To install the firmware you will need the tablet itself, a computer and a USB cable. It is recommended to follow the instructions exactly so that the device does not end up as a “brick”.
So, the Lenovo s6000 firmware is performed as follows:
- Download drivers for the tablet of this model (as a rule, they are suitable for different models).
- Download the firmware.
- Unzip the archive and save the files to a folder. Be careful, it must contain only Latin characters.

Conclusion
Before you start flashing the firmware, you need to understand exactly the reasons that prompt such actions. It's worth noting that this process, although not complicated, deletes all data. And it will be impossible to return them. Therefore, it is recommended to keep everything that is most valuable and personal securely. A memory card is great for this. In addition, you can create backup copy, so that in case of failure you can return to the previous version.
In general, for Lenovo s6000 the firmware is no different from this process on other devices of the same manufacturer.
