The Lenovo Tab M9 has officially launched as a step-up from the popular Tab M8, bringing the lenovo tab m9 mediatek Helio G80 chipset to an even more affordable tablet segment. Priced from 159 EUR (approximately ₹13,973), it targets students, budget-conscious buyers, and anyone who needs a reliable everyday tablet without breaking the bank.
Lenovo Tab M9 MediaTek Helio G80 Performance
The biggest upgrade in the Tab M9 over its predecessor is the processor. Lenovo has swapped the MediaTek Helio P22 found in the Tab M8 for the faster MediaTek Helio G80, which offers improved CPU and GPU performance for smoother multitasking, media consumption, and light gaming. RAM options include 3GB and 4GB LPDDR4X, paired with eMMC 5.1 storage in capacities of 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB, giving buyers flexibility depending on their storage needs.
Display and Design
The Tab M9 features a 9-inch IPS LCD panel with a resolution of 800 x 1,340 pixels and a peak brightness of 400 nits, making it adequately bright for indoor viewing. The display is well-suited for reading, video streaming, and video calls. The bezels are noticeably thick around the edges, which is a trade-off common at this price point. There is no fingerprint scanner; instead, Lenovo has included a face unlock system for biometric security.
Camera Setup
On the rear, the Tab M9 houses an 8-megapixel camera capable of handling basic photography and video recording. The front-facing camera is a 2-megapixel sensor, designed primarily for selfies, video calls, and online classes. While neither camera will rival a flagship smartphone, the combination is practical for students attending virtual lessons or professionals on quick video meetings.
Battery Life and Connectivity
Powering the Tab M9 is a 5,100 mAh battery with a 10W USB-C charging port. Lenovo claims the tablet can handle up to 33 hours of movie playback on a single charge — an impressive figure for the segment that makes it a strong companion for long commutes or travel. The tablet weighs 344 grams, keeping it reasonably light for a 9-inch device.
