Pros & Cons – Vankyo MatrixPad Z10 tablet android 9.0 pie tablet 10 inch

Pros

• The VANKYO MatrixPad Z10 feels solid, and is great for casual use.
• The Read Mode and Eye Comfort apps make the screen easy to read at night or indoors, while being bright enough outside. The screen can become black and white for reading ebooks.
• 3 Gigabytes of RAM, instead of the usual 2, make the tablet faster than I expected.
• Good fast touch response on the screen.
• It came with a screen protector already installed.
• Synced up to my Google account easily. It quickly installed the same apps and contacts I had on my Android phone.
• Fast wi-fi connection.
• Sound is clear, and can be very loud, considering the small speakers.
• Takes better pictures than I expected, especially using Open Camera.
• Videos play well using VLC.
• Netflix can be installed easily following instructions from Vankyo.
• The 1080p resolution makes pictures and videos look sharp and clear.
• Good sound in my 32 ohm and 50 ohm headphones.
• The tablet downloaded a security update right after I set up the tablet.
• Android 9 system is clean and free of bloatware and ads.
• The tablet accepts 128 GB micro SD cards. Great for storing movies and music.
• Battery lasts a long time, about ten hours.
• All the controls and connectors are on one end, which would be the top in portrait mode.
• The two speakers are on the opposite end (bottom) from the controls, and face the back.
• I have no idea how well it does with games.
• I have not tested the HDMI out yet, but it does video casting.
• Most of the back case is aluminum. This tablet feels solid.
• Bezels are wide which means fingers are not on the viewable part of the screen when just holding the tablet. Wide bezels make it easier to hold the tablet.

Cons

• Some people might not like the heavier than usual weight which makes the tablet feel solid.
• The speakers are on the back, and can sound a bit muffled when set on a flat soft surface. But the sound is still clear enough when the tablet is in a case with no holes for the speakers. There is enough room on the front bezel for front facing speakers. Even speakers facing straight down would have been better.
• It did not come with a charger, but I already had a 5 volt 2 amp charger with a USB – micro usb connector that fits the tablet.
• It charges slowly, however, like most tablets. No fast smart charging on this tablet.

Vankyo MatrixPad comparison

Vankyo MatrixPad Z10 tablet android 9.0 pie tablet 10 inch review

Dimension

Screen

Screen quality is fantastic. Very sharp, vivid colors. Screen brightness can be adjust to be dark or almost blindingly bright. Another warning however, if you watch videos in 1080p that are complicated, as in lots of moving objects on the screen, the tablets frame rate will drop down to about 10 frames per second. Watching Cartoons, reviews or tutorials, or basically anything that isnt an action thriller with fire and explosions every 10 seconds, then this wont be an issue.

WiFi

Supported by dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi, it makes faster internet browsing and downloads achievable.

Very easy to use. Its ui is almost completely stock android 9. If you’re familiar with an android phone you will have 0 problems learning your way around. I like that all ports and buttons are on one side of the tablet instead of being spread out and inconveniently placed.

Storage & Kids corner

Storage capacity is great for being a budget friendly 160 dollar tablet, really makes it worth while that you can expand via microSD a nice 128 Gigs.

The Google Mobile Services (GMS) Certified MatrixPad Z10 comes with an Android 9.0 Pie. Get rid of unexpected ads, have full access to the Google Play Store, and download the applications you love, such as Skype, Netflix, YouTube, kids’ applications.

Audio

Audio is very quiet, but not at all tinny or distorted. Bass is almost non existent but being that the tablet is only 160 bucks and i have nice bluetooth headphones, this isnt an issue therefore i did not take from the 5 star review.

Battery

Battery life is outstanding. Battery charges quick and lasts to 10 hours and beyond, and i watch Youtube full volume and brightness for most of those hours.

Alternate of Vankyo MatrixPad Z10 tablet

1. Samsung Galaxy Tab S4

The Best Android Tablet Money Can Buy

Samsung is the sacred cow of consumer electronics nowadays, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 is the ultimate Android tablet, which is aimed at helping you become a true-blue South Korean robot in terms of productivity. Joke aside, the main attribute of the Galaxy Tab S4 is its versatility, i.e. this beast of a tablet can successfully replace your PC/laptop with ease, due to Samsung’s proprietary desktop-like Dex interface. Okay, at least that’s what the Korean tech giant was aiming for with this 10.5’’ S-Pen stylus included monster of a tablet. But how does the Galaxy Tab S4 perform in real life you asked?

The answer is “next level Android tablet”, i.e. if you’re looking for laptop-like mobility and desktop-like power in one single gadget (okay, maybe we’re overreacting a little bit), it doesn’t get much better than the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4. Obviously, you’ll have to pay a hefty price for this baby, but you’ll get a lot of bang for the proverbial buck: resizable windows, a system tray, taskbar, along with high-end specs and a stellar 10.5’’ wide Super AMOLED display (Samsung’s specialty).

And speaking of hardware, you’ll get a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 system on chip, with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, all backed up by a beefy 7300 mAh battery. On top of that, there’s a micro SD card expansion, and a 3.1 Type C USB port. Bottom line, if money is no object and you’re not an Apple fanboy (or girl), just go for it.

Pros:

• arguably the best Android tablet out there
• solid hardware
• top-notch build quality, premium look/feel
• stellar display
• Dolby Atmos
• amazing gadget for productivity-obsessed geeks
• clever S-Pen integration (included in the retail package)
• Dex mode makes for a real improvement for the user interface
• comes with dual-band WiFi (A/B/G/N, AC and dual-band)
• excellent camera, great sound due to its built-in speakers (four of them)

Cons:

• there are still bugs in the Dex thing that need to be addressed ASAP
• the tablet’s glass back-panel makes it slippery and fragile
• more RAM would’ve been cool

2. Huawei MediaPad M5

Another Winner from Huawei

Huawei devices were once hard to get ahold out outside of their homeland, but those days have changed. The company expanded their worldwide reach with several high-end mobiles including the Huawei MediaPad M5 tablet.

The M5 comes in two different sizes with your choice of an 8.4” or 10.8” display. Both have the same type of display with a 2K Ultra Vision panel and sport a Kirin 960 processor with 4GB of RAM. They also have a 360-degree sound system so films and games will sound just as good as they look. The MediaPad M5 has more onboard storage than other models with 64GB to go along with features like a microSD card slot, a 13MP rear camera, 8MP front-facing camera, and quick charging.

In addition to the regular M5, there is an M5 Pro which ups the ante with an active stylus and pressure sensitive display. That model is on par with the Tab S3 if you want a solid drawing tablet. Either way you go, this curved beauty is a looker and has enough pop to satisfy anyone’s needs. It also runs Android 8.0 out of the box and sports a 12-month warranty.

Pros:

• Beautiful thin-bezeled display
• Great battery life
• 64GB of storage
• 13MP/8MP camera combo
• Fingerprint scanner

Cons:

• EMUI isn’t for everyone

3. Amazon Fire HD 10

The Best Android Tablet under $200

If you’re in the market for an affordable slate, Amazon has been a great way to go as they make one of the best 7-inch tablets. The Fire HD 10 is their largest, and arguably their most popular option yet. It’s also quite affordable in any configuration or color.

While you won’t find a fingerprint scanner or 2K display on this one, the 10.1” FHD panel doesn’t disappoint. It has Alexa built-in and a 2.0 GHz octa-core chip along with 2GB of RAM. The battery life is solid (up to 12 hours), but the cameras are lacking as there’s a 720p snapper on the front and a 2MP sensor on the rear. It’s ideal for media lovers and sturdy enough for children – just remember to lock those apps down.

Amazon’s devices aren’t known for their groundbreaking features or speed, and you certainly won’t set any records with this one. If you are an Amazon household or just need a cheap slate, you’ll be hard pressed to beat the Fire HD 10. You can pick this tablet up with 32GB or 64GB of storage although both have microSD card slots. There are four colors available, and you can shave a few bucks off the price if you take the “special offers” approach.

Pros:

• 10.1” FHD display
• Hands-free Alexa
• Great battery life
• The price tag

Cons:

• Underwhelming power
• No Google Play access
