The move to 64-bit Android mobile devices is going strong, with Lenovo one of the latest companies to join the trend by means of a new tablet—the Lenovo Tab S8.

The Lenovo Tab S8 is the company’s first Android tablet to come equipped with an Intel processor. Their Android slates are usually powered by MediaTek or Qualcomm’s Snapdragon, while they use Intel chips on their Windows devices. This “first” of what could be more Intel-powered Android tablets by Lenovo is decent enough considering these specs: a quad-core Atom processor, optional LTE connectivity, dual front Dolby speakers, and a higher-than-Full-HD, 10-point multi-touch display with slim bezels and One Glass Solution technology.
