Lenovo Smart Tab M10 FHD Plus Hands-On

Lenovo unveiled the Lenovo Smart Tab M10 FHD Plus along with the Smart Tab M8 in the Philippines a few months ago. It has a similar built as the Smart Tab M8 but sporting a larger screen and higher specs. It features a 10.3-inch full HD display, a MediaTek Helio P22 octa-core chipset, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, an 8MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, and a 5,000mAh battery. It is also equipped with Dolby-Atmos dual speakers as well as the Google Assistant. We recently got our hands on it and here are our initial thoughts!

The Smart Tab M10 FHD Plus has a 10.3-inch Full-HD (1920×1200) IPS display with 330nits brightness that showcases vivid colors and a decent sharpness. The screen slays narrow bezels where the 5MP front camera will be found resting at the top center in a portrait manner.

Identical to the M8, the back shows off a premium metal design in Iron Grey with matte finish that repels fingerprints and smudges well. Also found here is the 8MP auto-focus camera and the device’s branding.

It has a large footprint at 244.2 x 153.3 x 8.15 mm, and a bit hefty at 460g but still easy to carry around.

Located at the top side of the tablet are the 3.5mm audio port and the speaker grille.

The right side is where the lock/power button, volume rocker, and card tray are to be found. The card tray is designed for a single Nano-SIM card that supports LTE connectivity and a MicroSD card expandable up to 256GB.

The other side is designated for the docking pin for smart charging.

This is considered as a 2-in-1 device as it comes with a smart charging station. The dock has a micro-USB port for charging. The dock can also be used as the device’s stand when not charging.

At the bottom part, you will see the USB-Type C port to charge its 5,000mAh battery. Next to it is another speaker grille. This tablet has a clear and superb sound delivered by its dual speakers powered by Dolby Atmos.

This device is also ideal for kids as it comes with a special Kids Mode setting that allows parents or guardians to manage the content the kids would see. Its parental controls can even set the devices to only allow safe, curated, preloaded content.

The Lenovo Smart Tab M10 FHD Plus is available in two configurations. The 2GB + 32GB variant is priced at PHP 11,990 while the 4GB + 64GB LTE variant retails at PHP 13,990. Both variants are bundled with a smart charging station. It can be purchased through Lenovo stores and its authorized retail partners. Watch out for our full review!
