The Lenovo Tab M9 is a lightweight tablet in a somewhat unusual 9-inch format. This makes it ideal for anyone who wants the largest possible screen in the lightest and most compact chassis possible. Since it even has GPS, it should be a great deal for around US$150, right?https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Tab-M9-review-Intermediate-sized-tablet-with-GPS-tracking.698728.0.html
These tablet manufacturers make me really confused. Is the cost of a FHD panel still that high in 2023? We have 4k TVs, FHD+ smartphones every where, videos are recorded in 1080p, while they still keep using outdated low resolution panels, not to mention the terriblely poor color accuracy like this review shows.
They do not want to sell me anything so I buy nothing.
Guys, quit complaining. 1340x800 at 9 inch is acceptable. Do you want to know laughably bad? Laughable bad in 2023 is 15.6 inches at 1366x768 or 27 inches at FHD. Now, those are what I call bad screen resolutions... So bad they actually make Minecraft look good!
I like the fact the Lenovo isn't afraid to try something different and build 9in screen tablets. More manufactures should aim for 8.5-9.5in screen tablets. The only part that bugs me is that I'm a fan of low mid end Soc like Unisoc and Mediatek given there more better cpus. Everyone wants to make 10-13in tablets with Hi end CPUs and all I want is a 8-9.5in screen tablet with a Snapdragon cpu or a hi-end quad core or octa core cpu, something that is easy to handle with one hand again something with 8-9in screen.
This post started before the tablet was actually released. As of mid May 2023,thecLenovo website is selling the 4GB, 64GB, metal back for $119
A couple of months ago I got the 4GB ram/64GB storage version with 4G. I am very happy with the tablet.
It's quick enough and as an added bonus it's also the biggest smartphone I have ever owned! Works perfectly!
One thing I don't really understand is the tablets charging capacity vs the wattage of the charger.
I get the 5V x 2A = 10W thing. But the tablet charges quicker with my 18W charger than with the 15W!
I charge the battery when it reaches 20% and stop charging at 91%.
With the 18W charger it took 1h44min, with the 15W charger it took 2h13min.
Riddle me that!...
The battery will last longer if you slow charge it, max about 95% then run it down to anout 15% these batteries will take a fast charge but it's hard on the battery.Most new phones have a battery saver option which charges to max 80%. Make sure you turn off the processor limiter as that will slow down your phone.
