Third-party reviews

What customers like about Acer Iconia Tab M10

  • The screen is 10.1 inches at 1920x1200, which is sharp for films and reading.
  • At 224 ppi, text and photos look clear.
  • Split-screen mode lets two apps share the display.
  • It receives OS updates directly.
  • Corning Gorilla Glass helps the screen resist scratches.
  • GPS works for maps and routes.

What customers don't like about Acer Iconia Tab M10

  • There is no location privacy control, which matters if you do not want apps to track where you are.
  • There is no LTE or 5G, so it needs Wi-Fi to get online.
  • Wi-Fi 4 is the older Wi-Fi standard.
  • There is no adaptive refresh rate, so the 60 Hz screen runs at a fixed speed.
  • Software updates are supported for only a short time.

Verdict

A sharp screen of 10.1 inches at 1920x1200 is the first thing you notice on the Acer Iconia Tab M10. At 224 ppi, text and photos look clear, and the sRGB color range suits everyday viewing. The 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of eMMC storage handle films, reading and light apps without fuss. Split-screen mode lets you read and reply at once, and it receives OS updates directly. The trade-off is the lack of extras: there is no location privacy control, no adaptive refresh rate and no LTE. Wi-Fi 4 is the older standard, and at 60 Hz scrolling looks less smooth than on faster screens. It suits someone who wants a sharp, simple tablet for films and reading at home and who does not need mobile data.
