Reviews for the Lenovo Tab M10

76.8% Lenovo Tab M10 Tablet Review | Notebookcheck
The Lenovo Tab M10 is a budget tablet that is fun for the whole family. The tablet includes child-friendly features and offers a well-rounded spec sheet for its price. However, the cheaper alternative to the Tab P10 has its work cut out to stake a claim in a saturated and competitive tablet market.

Comment

Model:

The latest to join the Lenovo family is none other than the Lenovo Tab M10. As far as its design is concerned, this device does not look or feel anything like as cheap as it is. Simply put, with its full metal body (in smart Iron Grey or Platinum Grey) and 85% screen-to-display ratio, it resembles the kind of tablet one would expect to pay two to three times more money for. This model is quite compact for a full-sized tablet with dimensions of just 241.5 x 149.4 x 8.3mm and a weight of 420g. In addition, the Lenovo Tab M10 has also been equipped with a pair of stereo speakers tuned by Dolby Atmos. Apart from that, there is also a 3.5mm headphone jack. Well, one specific feature to indicate that this is a more affordable tablet, has to be the total lack of any reliable biometric authentication. This is quite evident with the power button on the top left edge (when held in landscape) which is a regular textured button with no in-display facility. While there is a face unlock facility, it is the regular rudimentary 2D scanning system which should not be fully trusted. As for its display, the Lenovo Tab M10 is definitely large enough at 10.1-inches, but with a resolution of only (1280 x 800), which is not very sharp.

The device uses a fairly rudimentary IPS LCD panel with a maximum brightness of just 400 nits and a 60Hz refresh rate. Overall, the colours appear somewhat washed out, and it simply does not do media content like Netflix videos and games any favours. As for the camera, it is a known fact that one should expect very little from tablet cameras, even so-called ‘Pro’ tablets selling for more than four times the price user would be paying here. This is not to say that such cameras cannot be good, more that it does not really need to be. That is the reason why it is really not too much of a criticism to say that the Lenovo Tab M10 HD’s solitary 8MP rear camera and 5MP selfie camera are not much cop. In a nutshell, the images taken with the main camera are lacks in detail and really quite anaemic, with little of the vibrant colours or HDR balance that one tends to get with even a bog standard budget smartphone. Having said that, it is not a total write-off in decent lighting conditions, which is more than good enough. As for its performance, the Lenovo Tab M10 HD has been incorporated with the Mediatek MT6762 Helio P22T, an extremely limited 12 nm chip aimed at affordable devices. In terms of its battery, this device has been equipped with a 5000 mAh battery. While it is quite a decent size for a smartphone, definitely not very large for a 10-inch Android tablet. Overall, it is a decent tablet to be explored, depending on the need and preference of the users.

Qualcomm Adreno 506: Integrated graphics card in the Snapdragon 625 SoC and based on the new 500-series architecture with support for Vulkan, OpenGL ES 3.1 + AE (3.2) and UBWC.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

SD 450: Lower mainstream octa-core ARM Cortex-A53 SoC clocked at up to 1.8 GHz and the Adreno 506 GPU, a LPDDR3 single channel memory controller as well as an X9 LTE (Cat. 7 300 / 150 Mbps) modem.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


10.10":

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.

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.


74.27%: 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.
