Lenovo Tab M8 FHD Android Tablet Review - Is It Any Good? By ETA PRIME

What's going on guys the CTA pride back here again today, we're going to be taking a look at the Lenovo Tab m8f HD, the F HD stands for full HD. Now some of my regular viewers might be a little confused because recently I did a review on the tab, my HD and these are not the same tablets. Two days after I made the video on the HD version. They announced the FHD, so I figured I'd go ahead and pick it up, and I actually got this for cheaper. It does have more RAM a better CPU and a higher resolution screen. Regular price on this is going to be about 160, but as making this video, they are on sale for one hundred and twenty-four dollars, like I, said in my review of the m7 and the ma, HD I loved a design that Lenovo's going for now build quality and design of these new Tab series tablets is absolutely amazing.

Some of the best that I've seen I love the slim design, aluminum back and the screens even on the HD version, are absolutely amazing for what it is. But I haven't been impressed with performance on any of these tablets. Now, hopefully, this will change my mind. This has an 8 core 2.3 gigahertz CPU, instead of a quad-core 2 gigahertz, and it's packing an extra gig of ram over the m8 HD. So inside the box, you're going to get a tablet: a micro, USB charging cable and a 2 amp wall charger.

Unfortunately, Lenovo hasn't swapped over to USB type-c on these lower end tablets. So, like I mentioned it's still using micro USB over on the right hand, side we have our power button and volume. Rocker they've also left a 3.5 millimeter audio jack for your headphones. It's a single speaker, setup, it's tuned by Dolby, and it does sound pretty decent I mean it's not the loudest Ablest that I've heard, but it'll get you by for a smaller tablet, and the tablet does support up to a 2 terabyte micros card. Around back, we have an 8 megapixel camera in a very sleek aluminum design.

This only comes in one color, and it's known as iron gray, one of the main things I love about the new Lenovo Tab series is the screens. Now this is the best one that I've seen so far. It's an 8 inch, IPS 1080p display. It definitely looks better than the ma HD version, because it's much higher resolution and just to give you a quick comparison between the FHD which we have on the left and the HD version on the right they're exactly the same size. They look exactly the same ? the colors.

As for the specs on the m8 FHD for the CPU, we have the MediaTek P 22 T. This is an outscore CPU for a 53 course at 2.3 gigahertz and for a 53 course at 1.8. For the GPU we have the power v, KG e 8320. Unfortunately, this is the same GPU that was in the HD version, three gigabytes of lpddr3 ram, so we're up by one gig over the HD, an 8-inch IPS 1080 by 1920 display, and these look perfect: dual-band: AC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 5.0, 32, gigabytes of internal storage, with support for a micros card up to 2 terabytes. When it's formatted correctly, it needs to be a exFAT to use a 2 terabyte card and the tablet is running Android 9.0. It is a pretty stock version of Android, but they have included some blow most of it can be completely deleted, but there's a few apps that can't be deleted, like the Lenovo support app and the Dolby tuner.

So as the user experience goes with this little tablet, everything's been really smooth, I haven't had any issues at all, I mean overall, it's working great, like most new tablets should and just like the m8 HD. This is a great little tablet for viewing videos, if you want to stream from let's say: Plex I'm actually connected to a server, that's pretty far away from where I am right now, and I'm going to be streaming in 1080p. All the decoding is done on the server itself. That I'm streaming from this tablet is simply taking the feed and letting me watch it here, but it works great. So all streaming services are gonna work great on here, whether it be HBO, Amazon, prime Hulu, Netflix and even YouTube.

Video playback is great.1080P 60fps is no problem at all for this little tablet, but this also worked very well on the NHD. Now you will get tending to pee here instead of 720, and that might be a big plus for some people. But now it's time to get into the benchmarks. I want to see how much more powerful this chip is, then the lower-end m8 HD and how it stacks up against 150 dollar Amazon, Fire, HD 10. So first up we have Geek bench for single core for to eff HD version, nine, zero, nine multi 39:56.

We definitely beat out the ma HD in multicore, because we have eight cores instead of four, but the Amazon Fire HD 10 destroyed us in both of these tests. I also wanted to test out Geek bench 5 single core 165 multi 878, even with the higher clock CPU in this tablet, we're right on par with the single core score of the ma HD, but it did beat it out in multi. Unfortunately, I just couldn't get this test around the fire, 10 HD, so the last two tests we saw were CPU benchmarks. Now, it's time to move over to some GPU testing, we have 3d mark with slingshot Extreme we're right on par with the ma HD, because it does have the same GPU and, as you can see, the fire 10 HD totally destroyed the GPU scores of these tablets. And finally, we have an 2 to 8 100 1766.

It was much higher than the ma HD, but again the fire 10 HD beats this out and if you're looking at a more expensive tablet, think about the Tab s 6 at 300.77856 I also ran a quick Wi-Fi test over my AC network 285 down 22.5 up overall, perfect speeds here now sign for some native Android gaming. Here we have King of Fighters all-stars everything's on load, just like a tested with the MA HD, and we're still experiencing some lag here, even with more cores and a higher clock in the CPU. This really comes down to it, having the same exact GPU as the HD version, it's not as bad as I've seen in some other lower end tablets, but the lag is noticeable when there's a lot of particles on screen, Minecraft Pocket Edition definitely seemed like it perform better than it did on the m8 HD, but overall I did have to turn the chunks down on this one, you and finally, for native Android gaming Call of Duty mobile. It performs really well on here at the low settings. It surprised me on the ma HD, and it's also doing a great job here.

This is a playable game on these little tablets, but this is a very well optimized game. The controller I'm using here is the eye peg at 91.67 great controllers, it just did a full review on. So it's pretty hard to recommend this tablet for Android gaming, and it's also pretty hard to recommend it for any Asian. Here we have the red ream emulator running Dream cast. This is Soulcalibur works great, but this is an easier one to run, but if we try to run something a little harder like Dead or Alive ?, it's just not going to cut it.

I've seen it dip down to around 38 fps in some situations. So it's definitely not going to run every Dream cast game at full speed. Even with this great emulator and the same goes for PSP. A lot of the lower end stuffs gonna work, fine, but gotta for Chains of Olympus and harder once the run. Just aren't going to cut it even at 1x resolution with all the hacks on, but there is one thing that I can recommend this tablet for due to the great Wi-Fi built into this thing.

Game streaming works phenomenally. This is Project X cloud, I've also tested steam link and NVIDIA GeForce now, but I've been using Project X cloud a lot lately streaming from their servers. You can also stream from your own Xbox One or your Xbox One X. This is dirt rally 2.0 running in Project X cloud I'm using the Peg ah 91 67 controller I. Personally, think that the form factor here is perfect for streaming games and I also love this 1080p display.

So in the end, just like the Lenovo tab m8, it's really hard for me to recommend this, especially at the 160 dollar price tag. If this was sitting at 99 bucks, and you need something for game streaming, I think this would be an awesome little option pair it with a controller like the AI, Sega and you'll be good to go, but the performance for native Android gaming and emulation is very lackluster for a hundred and sixty dollar tablet. So that's pretty much it for this video guys. I really appreciate you watching. If you have any questions, or you want to see anything else tested with the Lenovo tab and 8f HD.

Just let me know in the comments below, but like always thanks for watching you.
