Reviews for the Lenovo Tab M10 Plus Gen 3
Due to its strong features and three-year update policy, the Tab M10 Plus has the potential to become a real bestseller, but only when the price drops. This might sound paradoxical for such a low-priced tablet with stylus support, but there's a reason for it.

I think when it comes to a tablet, the formula is relatively easy. For the most part, Lenovo nails many aspects that have become familiar to Android tablet users, including the design, materials, and display. It even packs a little extra "punch" with its quad-speaker design. Unfortunately, I think Lenovo compromised a lot here with this tablet. The device's lackluster performance was quite jarring. I didn't expect something built recently to have such a glaring performance issue when just swiping through menus and webpages. I even reset the tablet and started fresh to ensure it wasn't a software issue, but the problems still persisted. All that said, it might not be a bad buy if you need a basic tablet. Before you buy this tablet, head to a local store and see if you can give it a test drive. Only then will you know if these types of problems will affect your workflow.

Lenovo's Tab M10 Plus checks all the budget Android tablet boxes; it's a low-powered computer tucked under a decent display that'll let you perform basic tasks on the go. If you just need something simple and inexpensive to reply to emails, watch videos, browse the web, and do some reading, you won't be disappointed. It won't be a perfect experience, especially given the tablet's annoying lag, but you should be ready to accept this compromise if price is your primary concern.

In conclusion, we can say that the Lenovo Tab M10 Plus Gen 3 is a tablet that will definitely satisfy the needs of students, and people, who need a portable device for entertainment. It features a large 10.6-inch IPS display with a resolution of 2000 by 1200 and a pretty decent maximum brightness. Its quad-speaker setup will make even significantly more expensive tablets cry for their mommy. However, we are brought back to reality by the camera quality. It is not the best out there, and even in well-lit conditions, the limitations of Full HD video can be seen. We had the Wi-Fi model, which features the Helio G80 SoC, and we can say that it leaves something on the table in terms of performance. Although it is not the most powerful chip out there, it is good for day-to-day tasks like studying, watching videos, and playing the occasional non-intensive game. Moreover, its efficiency is fantastic. Our unit dropped only 4% of its battery for 20 minutes of gaming, which equals about 8 hours and 20 minutes of continuous gameplay.

The Lenovo Tab M10 Plus Gen 3 is a budget Android tablet that delivers middling performance for a decent price. Cheap tablets like this are great for kids and budget-minded shoppers. Despite its unimpressive performance and lack of distinguishing features, the Lenovo Tab M10 Plus Gen 3 is ideal for people who mainly watch streaming videos or read e-books — especially if you demand long battery life. If you’re looking for an alternative, the Amazon Fire HD 10 not only offers better performance and almost as much battery life, but it also costs $40 to $60 less than Lenovo’s slate. However, you are stuck working within Amazon’s FireOS operating system, which is more limited than pure Android. If you want more options, check out our guide to the best cheap tablets. Conversely, if you like Apple products, the iPad 2021 is a solid choice. Sure, it’s a bit long in the tooth at this point, but it still outperforms the Tab M10 Plus Gen 3 by a fair margin and is now regularly discounted to $269 or less.

If you want a premium content viewing experience with a budget under $200, the Lenovo M10 Plus should be at the top of your list. The display makes movies and YouTube playback immensely enjoyable. I like that it can back up a wonderful display with performance that, while not perfect, is still good enough for the price. Between the build quality, the display, and the battery life, the Lenovo Tab M10 Plus proves that, sometimes, you can buy a well-balanced tablet without having to sacrifice the Play Store to get it.

If you’re looking for a solid Android tablet for under $200, then the Lenovo Tab M10 Plus (Gen 3) is a great choice. As long as you keep in mind that it’s not as powerful as other tablets on the market, you won’t ever be truly disappointed by what the Tab M10 Plus is bringing to the table outside of some ill-timed app crashes. As a device for widescreen streaming and simple app usage? You could do a lot worse even when spending a lot more. The Lenovo Tab M10 Plus (Gen 2) can still be found at most electronics retailers at a discounted price, but there are enough meaningful improvements to the third generation — as well as the promise of Android 13 later down the line — that it’s a good idea to stick with it even if it might be slightly more expensive. The only other tablet on the market at the same price point as the Tab M10 Plus (Gen 3) would be the Galaxy Tab A. However, while it boasts similar specs, it has a much lower screen resolution. Obviously, you’ll be able to find more powerful tablets that can run professional programs and apps at just about every retailer you visit, but those will all start at upwards of $300. If you’re looking for a powerhouse tablet, then something like the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro Gen 2 would be a better option. But if all you need is a streaming and e-reading tablet, then you don’t need to waste the money on something with features you won’t use. For the right person and budget, this could very well be one of the best tablets you can buy.

The Lenovo Tab M10 Plus is for people who want a solid tablet experience for a good price. You want a tablet that can do the essentials like binge-watching content, reading e-books, browsing the web, and checking up on social media. When it comes to gaming, you won’t have an issue with playing some lower-powered favorites, but once you get into 3D games, be prepared for a little lag. The display, speakers, and performance are middle-of-the-road, but they’re not offensive. They get the job done. Overall, this tablet is fantastic for the price, and I recommend it.

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.
In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.
In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.
74.34%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
