I’m a Samsung guy, but have an iPad Mini because of the performance and form factor. For some reason, Samsung and Lenovo are reluctant to make a high performance 8” model. Don’t get it.
Just got the M8 4th Gen 3Gb memory. It is slow.... Upgraded to Android 13 Go. Plan is for kids to use. Came with case and screen protector. Cost me £75. Screen is not bright. Sound not loud but for my kids is a bonus. Bargain regardless.
Lenovo disappoints me every year with the m7 and m8 tablets. My samsung note 8 tablet from 2013 had a 1280x800 and 2gb ram and cost me $400 australian dollars or $280 US. The m7 tablet is the perfect size to be a portable tablet and still be used as a phone. How hard would it be to give the m7 usb c 3.2, 1080 90hz display, 5000mah battery, 8gb ram, microSD slot, 16mp/64mp rear facing camera with flash, 8mp front facing camera, and a mediatek dimensity 1200 or similar? At around $500-600 it would sell like mad and would still be useful for the next few years.
That tablet is not designed for general public, especially from the 1st generation. It is for students learning purpose in Mainland China. Many primary schools and junior secondary classes in Mainland China buy a lot for students to use in so-called "IT lesson" in normal classroom. In order to avoid the students to play "game", it is designed to be "low-end".
How are they still milking a non full HD screen, and horrifyingly bad processor. We still haven't had a proper successor to the higher end version of the 3rd generation model. Why don't Android Oems make a good 8 inch tablet. Don't know what to get if my Mi Pad 4 stops working.
@@HuntaKiller91 cause the use case is a lot different at 10 inch. 8 inch is perfect for media consumption without straining your hands. Kinda like huge phone.

I guess they purposely handicapped the tablet to not overshadow the M9. But that's if it's selling the M9 in similar market. If the M8 is the only option, it's completely not good as even a basic phablet. They could've made this a bit more powerful hut unfortunately, it's never the case.

Such a bummer! I bought one (black) an the picture is quite nice considering how much it costs. I don't plan to take pics. It's performance is sooooo mediocre. It's laggy as hell! And the volume goes from zero to 7. There's no option to go in between. Cannot quietly watch something. 7 is loud enough for those in the room to still hear it. 😡
I’m not surprised, more so after my first-hand experience with Lenovo tablets - last autumn/fall my parents bought Lenovo’s Tab M10 FHD Plus to replace their old Huawei Mediapad….and regretted their choice almost instantly: despite the newer processor and double the ram and storage on the Lenovo Tab, their old Huawei tablet was faster and ran smoothlier….the Lenovo Tab lagged even opening the Play Store.

My M8 Gen 3 has 3GB of RAM, and it's sluggish as hell, to the point it's not usable for me. How can Lenovo ship this new version with 2GB of RAM? Someone mentioned a potential overlap between the M8 and M9, and they're right. The M9 I just bought works perfect for me, and the difference in size and weight is negligible.
I just got this tablet and then got discouraged and got a7 lite . I can surely tell you it's not night and day between m8 gen 4 2gb and a7 lite . I actually like the stock android so much better , it's so close to iOS . I would be returning back the a7 lite and will be getting the 3 gb ram version of m8 .

Worst tab lenovo released Not sure if it's just mine, but if your tab when eg *your on a MS word document, to even listening to music,, if you need to activate a short cut on the pull down tab, top of the screen and say choose Bluetooth or Power saver, the screen goes off, back to the home screen and if you got a pattern or pin code, you have to unlock it and the work you were doing is lost or you have to reopen that app again,, a really poor software flaw, took mine back and it is a FLAW in these Gen 4

Seriously so true , if they would just give m8 a bit more , it's such a wonderful tablet .
So would you say the m8 gen 3 is a bit of a better option?
Great Video.. Quick question is 32GB the max size SD card it can see?

These days 10" tablets are thin
U can get helio G99 on the cheap and way more powerful

DO NOT BUY IT IS INCREDIBLY SLOW WHEN YOU REALLY TRY TO USE IT
Disable preinstalled apps and youre be fine. You can disable even more apps using ADB or Shizuku.
Even the latest 4th gen version? Too slow?
You can disable some apps an use adb for the rest if the apps. This is a cheap tablet.
I liked m8 gen.3🤗 I don't play mobile games and Netflix can be seen clearly enough😌 I hope the updates will fix some of the flaws in this new version😃
You have the device? Got any Android 13 update?
Is the CPU that bad? I don't want this for gaming at all and I prefer the longer battery life. 4gb RAM is always useful.

The Gen 2 had A22 chipset. Gen 3 had P22. Gen 4 again A22. Makes no sense.

Absolutely insane that you can't even watch Netflix in 720p like wtf
is it a 5g tab??
Is there a vibration motor included?
would any of the 8/7 inch tablets support a type c-hdmi output at all?
even Alba cheap n cheerful had that option !!!
its annoying how they exploit by using a model ,,, then the code.... its worse than Click Bait
I'd get M9 if I was you and limited to choose between M8 and M9
4/64 is $150 and there's NO reason to buy this garbage (M8)

Great review. I agree that the low specs where chosen due to the inflation rate.
However, I feel like there is still latent demand for (at least one) 8-inch tablet with good performance ranging between 200-300€. As far as I know there has been no such item on the market for years. I would buy it a know many that would either.

As far as I know no. The performance is also a bit weak for that.
