This summer Lenovo introduced a handful of Android tablets with budget prices \u2014 and now the first is available and it\u2019s even cheaper than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lenovo Tab M7 is now available for $60\u2026 which is almost $30 less than the price Lenovo had announced in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you\u2019d probably expect from a tablet this cheap, the Lenovo Tab M7 isn\u2019t exactly a speed demon. It features a MediaTek MT8321 processors, which is a 32-bit, 1.3 GHz, quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By comparison, Amazon\u2019s $50 Fire 7 tablet has a MediaTek MT8163 processor, which is a 64-bit, 1.5 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor. So Amazon wins this round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both tablets feature 7 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel IPS touchscreen displays, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage. Both have 2MP front and rear cameras and both top out at 802.11n WiFi. So that\u2019s a draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But here\u2019s why Lenovo\u2019s tablet might be worth considering in spite of its shortcomings: it ships with Android 9 Pie Go Edition, while Amazon\u2019s entry-level tablet comes with Fire OS 6.3, which is based on Android 7.1.2 Nougat \u2014 and which has a custom user interface and app store rather than stock Google apps and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amazon\u2019s tablet also becomes the more expensive option if you opt for a model \u201cwithout special offers.\u201d In order to remove the ads from the lock screen, you\u2019ll have to pay at least $65.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So Lenovo wins some points on the software front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other features include a micro USB port, a headset jack, and a microSD card reader. Lenovo\u2019s budget tablet measures 6.9\u2033 x 4.1\u2033 x 0.3\u2033 and weighs about 8.4 ounces. It has a mono front-facing speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re looking for a high performance tablet, you should probably look elsewhere. But if you\u2019re looking for something dirt cheap for a little gaming, reading, or video streaming, the Lenovo Tab M7 is\u2026 and option, I guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or you could hold out for the upcoming Lenovo Tab M8 HD which is expected to sell for $140 when it arrives soon. That model has twice the memory and storage, a 1280 x 800 pixel display, 802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, and a speedier 2 GHz MediaTek Helio A22 quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
