Lenovo Tab M10 HD 2. Gen Review: A Good Family Tablet? By My Next Tablet

The second generation Lenovo tab, m10 HD, is an android tablet that costs just 130, which means it can be an interesting choice for many looking for an inexpensive family tablet. In fact, the kids' mode is advertised in particular, and you can get a smart tab. M10 HD second gen, with a smart dock and the Google Assistant, I'm Andre from mynexttablet. com, and in this review you learn how good the newest iteration really is. Let's look at the different versions. First, there's the Lenovo tab m10, which I reviewed almost two years ago, then there's a new Lenovo type, m10 HD.

Second gen that I'm reviewing here, which is the direct successor in addition to that Lenovo, is selling a smart tab. M10 HD second gen. While the internal hardware of the two is identical, that one comes with a smart dock, and you can use a tablet as a smart display, there's also a Lenovo type m10fhd, plus that I reviewed at the beginning of 2020, which has a smart app version as well. Yes, that's a bit confusing. So if you see a deal or so double check, if you're buying the tablet, you really want I'm starting this review with the design, the Lenovo tab, m10 HD second gen looks pretty we're getting metal body with two plastic sides which are housing, the speakers and a couple of ports.

It weighs 420 gram and is 8 millimeters thin. You charge it using an USB c 2.0 port, which you can also use to connect lots of accessories, but external monitors are not supported. On the other side, there's a headphone jack and on the tops, it's a micro SD card slot. There's a connector for this smart dock. Since the hardware is the same as the smart tab, but it seems like you can buy the dock separately when holding it in landscape orientation.

We get the speaker on each side, so 2 in total. I think the sound is pretty good for its price, but compared to the Apple iPad 8. The base is much weaker to be fair, that one costs more than twice as much. Sadly, the webcam is not placed in the middle, but on one of the sides, and it has a 5 megapixel resolution, the main camera on the back offers, 8 megapixels photos and videos. Looks fine for this price class.

I like that you can unlock the tablet using facial recognition, which works as it should in good light. However, it's using the webcam alone, which means it's not as secure as apple's face ID as the name suggests the Lenovo tab, m10 HD. Second gen has a 10.1-inch screen with a HD resolution of 1280x800 pixels for this size. I think it's a bit too low. I and texts look a bit blurry compared to screens with the full HD resolution sure in the past we were all fine with such a low, pixel density, but it's not ideal.

Besides that, it's a good display, colors seem accurate, and viewing angles are wide with 400 nits, it's quite bright for a cheap android tablet, but it's not as bright as the iPad 8. That's to be expected, of course. According to Lenovo, the screen is especially gentle to your eyes. It's certified by turf, Greenland, and it's reducing blue light. I'm very disappointed that you can't use the tablet to watch Netflix with HD resolution, since it has a white vine level of s3.

It does not support the necessary DRM standards. That means you are stuck with standard definition, movies and TV shows. This has been an issue for a couple of years now with Lenovo's android tablets. I've reviewed almost all of them that have been released recently and none of them are capable of Netflix HD playback. That's very disappointing, since many want to watch Netflix and other streaming services on their tablet.

Well, you can watch YouTube and local videos in HD, of course, inside the tab. M10 HD second gen runs the MediaTek hello p22t OCTA core processor, with 8 cores that clock at up to 2.3 gigahertz. You can get versions with 2 or 4 gigabytes of ram, as well as a 32 or 64 gigabyte internal storage. I have the one with 4 gigabytes and 64 gigabytes, because it's not much pricier and that's a lot of storage for this price range benchmark test from geek bench, 5, 4 and 3dmark shows that the performance of that hello p22t is below the Samsung Galaxy tab a7, which is a bit pricier, and it's weaker than the Amazon fire hd10 test results are very similar to the Lenovo tab, m10fhd plus. No wonder because internal hardware is the same when surfing the web in chrome and watching YouTube, I didn't notice, any major performance lags.

It's certainly fast enough for that. I noticed that multitasking works surprisingly well, which might be due to the 4 gigabyte of ram that my version has with the 2 gigabyte one it might not work as well. The benchmark suggests that this is not a gaming tablet, and it's true. You can play PUBG mobile with the lower settings which doesn't look great, but it runs fine. You will have to live with occasional stutters, and you can't even select HD graphics.

I notice the same with asphalt, 9. The graphics, look terrible compared to high-end competitors, and there are some heavier lags simpler games, weren't great. Of course, I played evolution, 2 and didn't encounter any hiccups or so Lenovo ships, the tap m10 HD second gen running android 10, which is great in the past. Most sellers from Lenovo have gotten one big update. So while I can't promise anything, I'm guessing that it will get android 11 next year, I always like that.

Lenovo shipping, their tablets with almost pure android. The interface is much less customized than Samsung's, Huawei's or amazons, which often can seem a bit overloaded. Google's apps are pre-installed as well as a FM radio and the video plus app, but that's it among the pre-installed. Google services are YouTube kits, and google kits space. The later one is the kids' mode.

You can set up different users on this tablet, including ones for your kids, since I don't have any it's always hard to judge for me how good these kids mods are, but google kids base seems much better to me than Samsung kids. For instance, the Google Assistant is pre-installed too and works just as it does on your phone. If you love the assistant, it makes sense to get this smart tab, m10 HD with a smart dock, because it allows you to use this tablet as a smart display. I like that we get a work mode too, which was called productivity mode in the past. You can activate it in the settings.

It's not a real desktop mode, as you might be familiar with from Samsung or Huawei, but it's a more work friendly view with the taskbar, where you see open apps and the three buttons get pushed to the side, it's easier to navigate android using a mouse and keyboard that way. In my battery test, the tab, m10 HD got a run time of 6.5 hours. For this, I'm always looping a HD video on YouTube at maximum brightness. That's not an outstanding result, but a fine mid-range one. Well, that's end of my review of the second generation Lenovo tab, m10 HD.

I like that we're getting a premium feeling body and almost pure android 10. The software makes a great impression in general because of the work mode and google kit space. I also like that we can get an unusual large amount of ram and storage. The performance of the MediaTek processor is not perfect, but fine for most use cases. You can't expect a great gaming performance, and it's a bit disappointing that the screen has a HD resolution only, but besides that, it's a good one that you can't watch Netflix with HD as a bummer.

Of course, I wonder: what's going on there, whether I can recommend the Lenovo tab? M10Hd second gen depends on the price, mostly it's fine, starting at 130, but in most countries it's a bit pricier. There are lots of competitors in this price range so make sure that you compare prices. I think this can be an excellent value if you can find a good discount. The good thing is that Lenovo tablets often are heavily discounted during events like Prime Day and at other times too. Let's check out its competitors.

The Lenovo tab, m10f HD plus, is a fantastic alternative because it's almost the same tablet, but its screen has a full HD resolution. It's running android 9, but it should get an update to android 10 soon. If prices are the same or similar, I think it's worth it to get the higher resolution one. Otherwise, the advantages and weaknesses are the same. A more powerful competitor with the full HD resolution is the Samsung Galaxy tab.

A7. Usually it costs a bit more, but I think it's a better gaming tablet. Here you can watch Netflix in HD resolution. I like that Samsung usually releases two big updates, but if you want to have 64 gigabits of storage, you will have to pay quite a bit more if you're, fine, with the heavily customized interface and are capable of installing the Google Play Store yourself, it's worth it to check out the Amazon fire hd10 depending on the version it can be cheaper or about the same price. Here we do get a full HD screen, and you can watch Netflix in HD.

You will have to be happy to live in Amazon's universe, though that means Alexei instead of the Google Assistant. Alright, that's end of my review of the Lenovo tab, m10hd second generation, if you have any questions, write them down below I'm NJ for mynexttablet. com thanks for watching and see you next time.
