A few years ago, tablet devices began to exist in the Egyptian market. And over time, manufacturers started to realize the requirements of the market and the consumer as well. That led to spreading tablets devices in a way that many of us now own a tablet in addition to the mobile phone. That is due to its large screen, which makes it easier for reading and watching photos and videos. That even went farther with some people, as they changed their dependence entirely to be on tablets instead of mobile phones.

Today, we will review the Lenovo Tab3 which is considered one of the best tablets for family-oriented use due to its long-life battery, 8-inch featured screen, and the ability to create multi-user mode for each member of the family.
