Lenovo Tab M10 Plus 3rd Gen Tablet – 10″ FHD – Android 12-32GB Storage – Long Battery Life, Gray

Very pleased with this product.

I have had a seven-inch LG tablet for many years that is still working fine, but it has become increasingly difficult getting updates for the Android 5 programs I had installed on the device.

It was time for a new tablet, and I have found that Android devices need at least 64GB of resident memory to support a decent complement of installed programs.

I also wanted a brand name — something other than Samsung, which I have found to be a company making shoddy and disposable products and refusing to stand behind them.

So I found this Lenovo with the size and memory I needed, priced right at around $200.

For the first ten months, this tablet was doing its job nicely. It came with Android 12, but I updated it to Android 13 without any issues.

The screen is bright and sharp, with vivid colors, and the four speakers with Dolby Atmos deliver clear, crisp sound, though with little bass. The imaging extends far beyond the horizontal dimensions of the tablet.

Updating files and programs from my old tablet to the new one was an easy process. I wish Windows still did this, as it did back in the days of Windows 7!

I can’t say much about the front and back cameras other than to note that they both work as expected.

Battery life is excellent — you can easily make it through the day on one charge.

It’s also simple transferring files from the tablet to a Windows laptop. You just have to remember to tell Android what you’re doing (not just charging the battery) under Settings.

And though the startup instructions are a little sketchy (and tiny and hard to read!), installing an SD card for added memory is as simple as popping out the card drawer with the pin ejection tool included in the product box.

Unfortunately, though, after ten months or so, the tablet started slowing down and freezing, refusing to accept further touch commands. The only remedy is a hard shut down (holding down POWER and DOWN buttons for several seconds) and reboot — until the next freeze.

I’ve tried every usual remedy for the problem, including a factory reset, and nothing has worked.

So I am going to see if I can get Lenovo to repair this unit under warranty. I’ll report back with the results…

PROS:

* Bright sharp screen with vivid colors.
* Four speakers with Dolby Atmos imaging and EQ.
* Sufficient internal memory to support multiple installed programs.
* Ability to add memory via SD card.
* Fine battery life.
* Not too heavy.
* Reasonable price.
* Android 12 installed, with Android 13 update.
* From a brand-name manufacturer.

CONS:

* Frequent slowdowns and freezes after 10 months.
* No bass response from small speakers.
* Poor communication between Lenovo and their customers.

UPDATE: so I managed to send in this tablet for repair under warranty. The process was rather difficult to undertake, as Lenovo offers very limited channels of communications with customers.

Unfortunately, their repair, which was swift, was unsuccessful; the touch screen still was becoming unresponsive at random intervals. Apparently they restored the OS, or so they said.

So I somehow got L to take another shot at repairing the unit properly. They had a wrong expiration date on my warranty, and I had to send them my Amazon invoice to get them to agree to the second repair.

For a brief moment, they gave me an 800 number to call to set up the second repair, which soon disappeared. Fortunately, I was able to return to the page that had displayed the 800 number in my browser history and managed to talk to someone to get a new shipping box sent to me.

This time, they replaced the touch screen under warranty, and so far so good. I’ll report back with any further difficulties.

So ultimately Lenovo stood behind their product, but I wonder if the replacement screen will mess up in ten months again. We’ll see…

My son had a fire tablet and it was aweful. Spyware, constant pop ups (even when the screen was off and charging). And tragically slow in simple tasks like clicking youtube videos!! It’s hard to believe this tablet is about the same price!!
I wanted something that would be quick, responsive and play the modern games on medium settings while also having a solid battery life. I have to say this thing was a bit surprising! The battery is a total juggernaut! If you want it to play games like CALL OF Duty, Minecraft, Roblox, PubG, Apex Fortnite etc etc, this tablet runs them just fine and the screen quality is awesome. Nice and colorful crisp picture quality!! I have a new iPad and this gives it a run for it’s money and costs 4x less!! Thinking about getting one for my mother as well.

OUTSTANDING PURCHASE, YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!
