Lenovo M8 HD Android Tablet Review - Is it Worth Buying?

[@PatrickGoodspeed]

It has one big advantage: No adds.

[@o0kaelas]

You can avoid the ads if you just don't register the device. There's ways you can register the device and remove the ads, but that requires plugging into a PC.

[@invernessity]

Walmart had this on sale for $60 for Black Friday. I bought it, but recommend it even at full price for live walls or videos. It has little bloat, and upgraded in early Dec to Android 10. I've loaded over 800 apps (mostly live walls), and play both videos and these walls with no lag - although I do keep all other apps closed in the background. I don't play games on the device or use the camera. The display is good for 720p - but dark so I keep the brightness higher than on other devices, and the sound is good. The battery is exceptional - and better than Samsung or Fire tablets I also use. I do recommend this tablet - particularly for those who want a tablet for videos and/or live wallpapers.

[@RynoDBones]

The Note Pro 12.2 I got on release was still my daily tablet until last month when my son stepped on it and cracked the screen. Android tablets need to step up their game. Even today there isn’t much that can beat my Note Pro.. Shame.

[@SweBeach2023]

True, still using my original Samsung Galaxy Tab S. Sure, it's a but sluggish but its QHD AMOLED display is still one of the best out there with perfect inky black and vibrant colors. Something far more useful one a tablet often used indoors with low light-level as compared to a phone used outdoors in bright sunshine.

Thanks for a very good review. I am purchasing one today. This video sealed the deal after this and my research. I am not a gamer. Quality is important to me and from what I have been seeing in my research this is a go.

[@enfieldjohn101]

The more I look at budget tablets, the more I'm beginning to think that I might be happier with the 8" screen since you seem to get better hardware for the price than 10" tablets of the same price point.

[@MyAccount-ns3eb]

That's not true I saw the Lenovo tab M10 32gb for only 30€ more. Though, I prefer the M8 for it's more mobile form factor 😀

No complaints except very tough to find a case for FHD with all open cutouts correctly including the flash. I am looking for a leather folio case and it doesn't exist. Another con is the inability to stream HD from Prime/Netflix but it does stream HD in my other channel video apps. Very happy with it though.

Dang it, I was looking for a relatively cheap Android tablet, and that micro USB port is really turning me off on this one. Got any recommendations?

[@chocolate_squiggle]

Seriously? I have 10-15 USB chargeable devices. They ALL use micro-usb except one. Can't believe this is what concerns people today. You obviously value having the 'latest & greatest' physical connector even if it doesn't provide any greater data transfer speed OR charging speed on this device. SO unimportant on a cheap tablet like this because the back-end chipsets (i.e. USB 2.0) don't support the upgraded capabilities of Type-C. Non-technical people just don't get it.

@@bradleyjones6461 less durability for one, I know there are articles to the contrary but I've had so many more USBC cables break than micro USB and never had a mini USB port or cable break. Seems like when you make things like this smaller they become more fragile, who knew. There are legitimate reasons for new connectors, but with smartphones at least, that's not a benefit of the new connector (the vast vast majority of phones with USB C only have USB 2.0, yes, that's exactly as fast as MiniUSB data rates, hooray). I guess charging speeds would be a bit faster maybe? But there are low quality USB C cables that aren't capable of fast charging... USB C seems to have been one of those failed trends that was forced upon the world and due to its nature it didn't really hurt but didn't really help (hence why contrary to all the tech bloggers predictions a few years ago, USB C has very much NOT taken over yet and is coexisting (when was the last time you saw a USB C flash drive or a USB C mouse). Thunderbolt came around and saved USB C, I guess, don't see a huge engineering reason why it couldn't have been slapped on to the A style connector again though.
