Lenovo Tab M10 Plus FHD Tablet, 32GB Storage

A 4años de compra sigue funcionando excelente, no hay queja, todo fluye muy bien, y es excelente para la escuela primaria a preparatoria!!

My usage: Mostly passive consumption and background use during work – YouTube (podcasts, music, some movies for background noise), Audible, Prime Video. Some active tasks during downtime – Kindle, web browsing, N64 and DC emu gaming.

What I like:
•Solid and quality metal build.
•4gb memory/64gb storage
•relatively stock/vanilla android experience (not heavily forked)
•It will receive Android 10 ~Oct 2020.
•Nice screen resolution spec and IPS panel

What’s Okay:
•Dual Speakers: Not terrible but nothing spectacular. Good enough for my needs as a lot of the time I used airpods or over the ear bluetooth headphones. What’s expected for the budget price.

What could have improved:
• (Nitpick) The power button placed above the volume rocker would have been more intuitive for me. I kept putting the device to sleep instead of turning the volume down. I still hesitate for a second to check what I’m pressing.
• Battery life. I didn’t travel that much this year so it wasn’t a deal breaker, but 5,000mAh battery is something you’ll have to remember about regular charges. I believe the stand by time would also last less than 3 days if I forgot about the tablet, it would definitely be dead.
•GPU: The Power VR 8320 is from 2014 which is pretty dated in tech terms. It doesn’t benchmark well so if gaming is something you’re into, you might want to consider another option.
•(Nitpick) The option for a persistent “Recent” task tray icon instead of a swipe up gesture – on stock android, you can enable this, however, Lenovo removed this option.
•Netflix, Prime Video, and some other steaming apps, won’t render full HD resolution because of WideVine DRM. This might be a huge deal breaker for some people who want to use it for streaming video.

Overall: I got this in May and was pleased with the $200 price point and the build. It’s a nice little work companion as I don’t use a ton of apps, maybe a dozen total. I think if you’re not into gaming it will do just fine for you but you might want to consider the Samsung A7 (2020).

Pros for Samsung:
•Battery: 7,040mAh vs 5,000mAh
•GPU: Adreno 610 (2019) vs PowerVR GE8320 (2014) – significantly higher benchmarks
•Quad Speakers vs. Dual Speakers – more powerful, slightly warmer and filling.
•Full HD for streaming apps (Netflix, Prime Video, etc)
•Possibly more future support/updates/xda development

I recently got the A7 on sale for $169.95 from Amazon (reg $229 – if it goes back up, wait for a black Friday or holiday deal) for the 3gb ram/32gb storage – though it does have less ram and storage I think a few things make it a possible better option. I haven’t noticed any lag difference with 3gb ram for app tasks yet. ‘ve got a regular habit of clearing the app tray unconsciously since the recent app button is there at all times. The 32gb will be supplemented with a microSD card, so storage isn’t too much of a worry for my needs. Additionally I usually don’t keep any apps around that I don’t use. Though the screen size is nearly identical, I don’t feel any significant downgrade from the IPS to a TFT, plus, you will get back full HD resolution on video streaming apps, so a TFT @1080p still beats IPS @720p or lower in my eyes.

Where I did notice a difference in performance was gaming. The Samsung’s Adreno 610 GPU is noticeably faster and smoother than the M10’s PowerVR GE8320 as to be expected from a near 5 year difference in age. I noticed this especially in several retro N64 emu games, so I’m glad I did get to test and compare. More than likely, I’ll be selling the M10 Plus so somebody else can get use out of it as I don’t need two tablets.

I was never a huge fan of Samsung’s UI from the TouchWiz days as I much prefer a stock Android feel, however, their recent “One UI” interface doesn’t feel clunky. I am using Nova Launcher just so I can give it more of a vanilla android feel with the icons and home screen features.

MY HUGE mistake was NOT getting this Lenovo tablet earlier! I just love it.

I was enthralled with the $70 tablets frequently advertised on a popular auction web-site. In fact, I have purchased several from them with marginal results. The last one was advertised as Android 10. When I got it and checked settings, it said Android 10. However, the splash screen and the internal codes said it was really Android 4.4! In addition, only software compatible with pre-4.4 OS would install and run. Nothing would run that required Android 5 to 10. I got mad because of the intentional misleading I got in the products from the auction web-site. So, I researched and selected this Lenovo tablet.

How I wish I’d gone with the Lenovo from the very beginning. It is a very reasonably priced professional grade tablet. Excellent construction, beautiful screen, long battery life, and a real Android operating system that runs anything I throw at it! I can use earbuds that plug into a hole on the top (3.5mm) or headphones that plug into the USB C connector at the bottom. Screen brightness is excellent as is the audio (built in speaker or earbuds/headphones). Works with my wifi beautifully. I charge it every few days as needed – battery life is excellent. Fast processor and ample memory insure that my web browsing experiences are excellent. Apps run fine too. It came with a ton of interesting applications, but I don’t use them – preferring to focus on a few apps that meet my needs.

My only regret???? Not getting this Leveno tablet sooner and wasting dollars on the falsely-labeled tablets from the web auction site. This Leveno tablet is well worth its price.

I have had a windows 10 tablet and I like android as I have an android phone. I used to buy laptops a long time ago from the company now known as Lenovo but was once IBM. The computers never broke on you. Now back to the tablet. The screen is far better than any tablet I have seen. And I am a computer tech. Second the speed is good. Third the battery last for about 3 days full charge depending on use. Now I don’t play games so I don’t know how long that would last on a charge. But surfing and emails and playing HD videos it last a long time. I love this tablet. My wife has a Galaxy Tab 10A and it blows her tablet out of the water. From pictures to video to the screen resolution and speed it’s not even close. I see now I have to buy her one because she was not happy when she seen that LOL! Any way one thing that can be done is customizations where you can do more with the tablet. It’s simple and not much to change on the tablet. But besides that man this tablet is so smooth and clear my goodness. Makes looking at videos better than looking at TV and I have 4k video. But the clarity of that screen is amazing and smooth. Downloading apps from google was a breeze. I had one issue with one app and that was Experian but I just went on the browser and done it that way. I also like that google has Microsoft Edge new browser that thing takes google chrome and make it look stupid !! I never thought I would like another windows browser ever because of chrome but I lied. Google better step up because Microsoft Edge is a beast!! With that as my browser it feels like a windows computer but yet it’s android. Man I am loving this tablet. You can’t go wrong people. I haven’t found anything to say I hate this for what I use it for. The cameras are good. I haven’t taken pictures with them yet but far as how it looks and the video looks when using the camera it’s great! I don’t use a tablet for those things but far as I can see pictures will be very nice on that tablet that is a bonus. And you can video stream far as zoom and any other camera streaming app. It’s clear and works well. If you want a tablet this one is the real deal. As far as tablets I call this the #1 Killer to all tablets out there. Benchmarks I don’t get into if you looking for that it ranks pretty decent. But I don’t get into that because I don’t use that to it’s full potential for what I need it for. Gamers can use this but I am not a gamer. But playing games work on this tablet and works well and flawless. I have the 4gb and 64gb model. And for $199 man that’s stealing !!! Well enjoy people if you buy this tablet you will love it.
