The
7-inch Lenovo tablets feature a 1024x600pixel resolution translating to a

features 16GB of inbuilt storage. Both devices support storage expansion
via microSD card (up to 32GB). Also, the Lenovo Tab 2 A7-10 completely
misses out on a rear camera, while the Tab 2 A7-30 includes a
2-megapixel rear camera. Both share the same 0.3-megapixel front-facing
