  • Lenovo Tab M9 review: An affordable, compact companion

    An excellent-affordable pill, the Lenovo Tab M9, hit the cabinets lately. I’ve been making an attempt it out for a few weeks and right here is the low-down on the place it impresses, and the place it doesn’t. 

    Design and show

    Owing to its compact kind issue, the Lenovo Tab M9 weighs just below 350 grams. It has a 9-inch HD show, which presents just a bit extra display house than the finances tablets which have all the time inundated the market. There’s a singular design working via the midsection on the rear panel, which does assist the pill stand out a bit. 

    Lenovo says the 9-inch IPS show is designed to be anti-fingerprint, and it’s true to an amazing extent. Despite each day use, the display stays smudge-free for essentially the most half. Brightness ranges taper off at 400 nits, which is greater than adequate for indoors and ok for outside viewing. 

    Just having come off a tool with a a lot larger refresh charges, I might see the shortage of smoothness in scrolling on the 60 Hz panel. If you aren’t utilizing one other machine with a a lot larger refresh price, this would possibly probably not stand out. 

    In overlaying the fundamentals of delivering an honest viewing expertise on Netflix and YouTube, the Lenovo Tab M9 does a fairly good job. The tab has twin stereo audio system with Dolby Atmos programmed in, so it delivers on the acoustics entrance as nicely.

    I liked the clear folio case with a kickstand that the machine ships with. It was tremendous helpful to make use of in each portrait and panorama orientations. And my household was relieved that I might not use them as a base to prop one more pill towards as we unwind in mattress. 

    Camera 

    Aside from the truth that it’s simply plain bizarre to whip out a pill to take photographs, the setup on the Lenovo Tab M9 additionally doesn’t give one a lot motive to take action. The pill is provided with a 2-MP entrance digicam and an 8-MP main digicam. Pictures taken indoors, with first rate lighting turned out to be fairly blurry.

    Outdoors, in daylight, photographs are rendered barely higher with a little bit extra element. However, I wouldn’t flip to this one to seize many recollections. There’s additionally a face-unlock characteristic which works pretty snappily. 

    Tech specs 

    The tab runs on the MediaTek Helio G80 processor – which powers the likes of the Samsung Galaxy A13 and Vivo Y21s smartphones. Built to facilitate cell gaming at an inexpensive value, the processor does its job nicely on the tab. The pill runs Android 12 – which is a little bit of a step again contemplating most tablets launched this 12 months run on Android 13. The solely OS improve is due this 12 months, though Lenovo has promised three years of safety patches. 

    The unit I reviewed has 4 GB RAM and 64 GB of space for storing, though there’s a small 32 GB variant as nicely. Overall, there have been no hitches in efficiency – switching between apps, enjoying video games for an prolonged time period, and so forth.

    Battery life 

    There’s an built-in 5,100mAh battery within the Tab M9 which saved me firm for as much as two units – I primarily used the machine for informal gaming and watching Netflix. For a finances pill, that is pretty alright. It usually took a little bit greater than two hours to cost absolutely from zero, and this doesn’t actually lure in shoppers who’re used to faster-charging speeds on their main units. However, this type of compromise is typical of an entry-level gadget expertise. 

    Verdict 

    The Lenovo Tab M9 may be an excellent match for somebody who wants a big-screen machine for non-intense media consumption – common YouTube scrolling, OTT-watching, and idle gaming eventualities. If you’re searching for a tremendous show, actually quick refresh charges and hardcore cell gaming, then this isn’t the machine for you.

    Pros – Compact companion, first rate show, passable battery life

    Cons – Camera high quality, charging time
