I'm leaning more towards Lenovo here. The stylus is a selling point for me and something I feel that SAMSUNG SHOULD FREAKING TAKE NOTES FROM (no pun intended) regarding their cheaper 'A' line of devices.
Lenovo has much better customer service .. Also, lots of people on Amazon are reporting issues with the touch screen of the a9 plus so it's something to be aware of.
I have the 8GB RAM model of the A9+ and so far its been great. My kids use it for some gaming and it doesn't stutter or lag. I use it mainly for watching media. I think it's a great deal, especially for the price!
I am planning the same but as Infotainment head in my car. Going to use only for navigation and music. Does it support Google maps without lte (Sim card) and how long should the battery lasts considering my usage. Thanks
@@purnesh27jagad11 hmmm a bit like having a screen with Android car, yeah i think thats a great idea if you dont have a in car systeem like that. If you download roadmaps at home on WiFi, you can use google map in your car, just like using Spotify, just download at home.
A9+ >>> I have 8+128+ 5g Speaker are not so good. Display good not clear visible in sunlight. Colour are great in inside. A9+ lag so much and have some bugs somewhere. Dex mode is only plus point. A9+ do not support 4k video in video player or anywhere. It stopped while you force try to play 4k. Battery take about 4 hour to charge 50 % to 100% with 25w samsung charger. Stylus do not support in a9+ . I don't know about lenovo because I don't have lenovo.
I just discovered your channel and really like your reviews, thanks! I think either of these tablets would meet my primary needs. I'm mainly looking for a tablet I can travel with and use for watching UA-cam, streaming sports and reading. I currently use a laptop for when I need to update excel spreadsheets and for creating WORD documents. If I wanted a tablet that would allow me to use my Microsoft 365 Personal, what options should I consider?
Do you have any suggestions for tablets for younger children around this price range or cheaper that are going to perform superior to Amazon kids tablets? I’ve looked into the M9, ONN models ad well as these two models
I'd get one of these two models. You can check Best Buy for "open box excellent condition" units too. They are normally mint condition returns within 14 days. At least on newer products like these. So if you catch these on sale for $50 off. Then get open box on top of it. It can be a win. I get some things are cheaper but these are the two ideal tablets. I would get the m11 if it's $30 to $50 cheaper. Especially for younger kids. If nearly identical prices. I'd go with the A9+ PS: I know about all the other models you mentioned. I would just lean towards these two
I'd lean towards the A9+ mainly because it's slightly faster. BUT, and I say BUT, I would try to get the version with 8GB of RAM if you can. The 128GB model does have more ram, and that can make a difference too!
Where I live the Galaxy A9+ (128GB + 8GB RAM model) retails for about 30USD less than the M11. I didn't expect to find out the M11 is cheaper everywhere else.
@@AndroidDigest Indeed. I ended up buying the 128GB + 8GB RAM for 135USD + tax last Friday. It has been great so far. My only complain is that for some reason the screens refresh rate seems to drop a lot in the home screen, so whenever moving between screens it looks like it's a really slow tablet but it's not, it's just that animation that looks slow. Other than that it works great.
Well if you get the M11 and if you get the pen specifically built for it, it's going to have some Palm rejection in some apps, if you get the Samsung, they don't build a stylus directly for it, so you're going to have to get a capacitive stylus which doesn't have any type of Palm rejection. Outside of that, they have different note-taking apps directly on the device. But you can always download a lot of the same apps anyway. So it's going to be a pretty similar experience
I actually have the Lenovo P11 Plus 6GB/128 & A9+ 8GB/128GB and even though the P11 Plus was introduced in 2021 it's almost a tie performance wise even though the P11 Plus has the G90T and runs Android 12.....
their productivity mode is okay, but has less features, and won't allow you to open up two google chromes at the same time, etc. There are more limitations.
When I say black Friday ish I just mean it's the best sales you'll probably find on it. Prime day. Black Friday. Or you may find it for $150 a couple other times through the year. The $180 price is the normal sweet spot that out goes on sale for throughout the year
Makes me wonder where the alldocube tablet scores amongst these… the constant “good enough” doesn’t lead me to save a couple bucks when one can get a better experience. From what I’ve seen and read the alldocube play 50 has better specs than either of these for way less money. Would love see you review one.
Brands like that used to have some good budget options. But now Samsung and Lenovo have a strong advantage. They sell so many and have such an advantage in scale that they will get cheaper prices on all types of components. They are dominating the low end tablets and I don't think anyone can compete
@@AndroidDigest So i bought one this week just to prove to you you are wrong. And now... I must admit am wrong. It cannot support samsung dex with external monitor. I am wrong. Thank you for your research on your topic and contents.

Yeah, the Tab M11 having a pen option is nice!
Also It have IPS LCD Display where sumsung A9+ have TFT Display

For sure, a lot of great sales on it too
Lenovo M11 is superb.
I have the M11 now for 4 months and im very happy with it. I use it for light gaming and streaming services.
It's been pretty great for me too! And my daughter enjoys hers

@@purnesh27jagad11 the battery is very good. If i play a game or stream a movie, its around 7/8% a 60min
@@purnesh27jagad11 yes if you download your area maps at home on WiFi and the battery is like 7 or 8% in 60min when gaming or streaming.
A9+ 8/128 is an awesome option for those on a budget, but still want a capable tab. Great video, thanks!
A9+ >>> I have 8+128+ 5g
Speaker are not so good.

With the tablet that I have already I'm locked into the Lenovo architecture so I would choose the M11 if I was going to buy another one

@@AndroidDigest thank you very much, i like your videos
hey have you thought about making a video about tablets from aliexpress like the lenovo xiaoxin line? i've heard they're really good for the price
It's a consideration. I normally stay within the US right now. May consider some overseas tablets too

thanks for these!
But the Lenovo does have PC Mode right similar to DEX?
their productivity mode is okay, but has less features, and won't allow you to open up two google chromes at the same time, etc. There are more limitations.
A9+ for 150? Damn so cheap i wish blaxk friday actually lowered prices not increased them here

does lenovo tab m11 have 72% ntsc display on it ??
yes
I got one for my nephew he’s 11 he has a budget phone that he plays games on I figure this tablet can handle the same games too I hope 😂

Can somebody please help me, can i connect the lenovo m11 to a keyboard?
Via Bluetooth? Of course yes
Yes, with bluetooth for sure
No. I think the tab a9 + supports Samsung dex.
It does support dex.. It cannot connect to a monitor though. Two different things
@@AndroidDigest even when I mirror cast it to a smart monitor?
You could mirror sure but it's going to be slow wirelessly. It's not super smooth wirelessly
