The Lenovo Tab M10 HD Gen 2 is the first
to use Kids Space feature from Google. It will cost only € 160/US$ 130 when it
launches next month and is meant for family-friendly entertainment. The Play
and Read tabs in Kids Space feature teacher-approved games and books for free.
The Watch and Make tabs show videos from YouTube Kids, which encourage
off-screen activities. Speaking of, parents can install the Family Link app on
their phones to set screen time limits and content filters.
The Tab M10 HD is equipped with a 10.1”
720p IPS LCD and two Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers. There’s a 5MP camera on the
front (with face unlock) and an MP camera on the rear. The tablet is powered by
a MediaTek P22T chipset with 2GB of RAM and 32GB storage (plus a microSD slot).
There’s also a 4/64GB configuration, which is probably the one to get for the
extra RAM.
The tablet chassis is built out of
aluminum and it houses a 5,000 mAh battery. Charging is done over USB-C, but
there are pogo pins too – those will become more relevant with a different
version of the tablet (coming in October), which will support Google
Assistant’s ambient mode (similar to the UI you get on the Nest Hub, for
example).
