Reviews

User Reviews 1 User Reviews I found the Lenovo Tab M7's design to be very premium-feeling with its full metal body, despite its low price. However, it lacks premium features like a USB-C port or fingerprint scanner. The tablet offers decent battery life and is good for reading ebooks indoors.
Unfortunately, I experienced poor performance even with basic tasks - the system felt quite laggy. Gaming was also disappointing due to drops in frame rate making games stuttery.
- My Next Tablet
User Reviews 2 I found the tablet's form factor excellent with smaller bezels and an aluminum back, but was disappointed by its low-end internal specs and lackluster performance. Streaming suffers from the exclusion of 5GHz Wi-Fi support. Benchmarks were very low, losing out to even the cheap Amazon Fire 7.
Gaming performance was poor - many games stuttered and slowed down despite optimization.
- ETA PRIME
User Reviews 3 I think the build quality feels pretty good, with a metal back material. The screen resolution, while only 720p, looks decent and text isn't too bad. Gaming graphics also load and look fine, though the tablet can feel a bit sluggish at times when navigating the software interface.

  • Design 7 / 10

Lenovo's Tab M7 (3rd Gen) made its debut in June 2021, promising an affordable option for users seeking a tablet experience. Boasting a premium metal design, this tablet aims to offer a touch of elegance in a budget-friendly package.

However, as with any budget device, there are both highlights and drawbacks to consider.

Design and Display

The tablet impresses with its premium metal body, providing a sturdy and aesthetically pleasing feel. Sporting a sleek form factor with dimensions of 176.2 x 102.3 x 8.3 mm and a weight of 237g, the Lenovo Tab M7 is highly portable.

The 7.0-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 600 x 1024 pixels delivers decent visuals, though the pixel density of ~170 ppi might not satisfy users with a keen eye for detail.

Performance and Operating System

Equipped with the MediaTek Helio P22 chipset and an octa-core 2.0 GHz CPU, the Tab M7 struggles with performance, especially during gaming and multitasking.

The tablet runs on Android 11 Go edition, offering a streamlined experience for entry-level users. However, user reviews indicate laggy performance even during basic tasks, making it less than ideal for seamless daily use.

Battery and Charging

The tablet houses a 3750 mAh non-removable battery, providing up to 10 hours of web browsing and video playback time.

While the battery life is commendable, the charging process relies on a standard microUSB 2.0 port with a 5V/2A output, lacking the faster charging capabilities seen in some competitors.

Camera and Multimedia

Featuring a modest 2 MP rear and front camera, the Tab M7 is not designed for photography enthusiasts. However, the device includes camera features like autofocus, geotagging, and touch focus.

The Dolby Audio-tuned speaker enhances the multimedia experience, providing reasonably loud audio for a tablet in this price range.

Connectivity and Alternatives

Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, and a 3.5mm audio jack. Unfortunately, there is no information on HDMI support or wireless charging.

For users seeking alternatives, tablets like the Amazon Fire HD 8 offer better graphics performance and a snappier experience, albeit at a slightly higher price.

Conclusion

In summary, the Lenovo Tab M7 (3rd Gen) aims to strike a balance between affordability and functionality.

While its premium design and decent battery life are commendable, the tablet falls short in terms of performance, with users reporting lag and stuttering during everyday use.

For those on a tight budget and willing to compromise on performance, the Tab M7 might serve as a basic and portable Android tablet.

However, users with higher performance expectations may find better options in the market, such as the Amazon Fire HD 8 or the Realme Pad Mini.
