HAOVM HAOVM 【2025 Android 15 Tablet M8 Tablet 8 inch，8 Review

Look, for eighty bucks, the HAOVM M8 Tablet is exactly what you'd expect: a cheap Android tablet that's fine for watching videos and not much else. The one thing you need to know is that its performance scores are rock bottom, landing in the bottom third for basically everything. It's a budget device through and through, and it feels like it.

Honestly, nothing surprised me in a good way. The performance scores tell the whole story: CPU in the 34th percentile, GPU in the 36th, and RAM in the 26th. It's sluggish. You can feel that 19.8 total score when you try to do more than one thing at a time. The only mild surprise is that the Wi-Fi 6 connectivity is decent, sitting in the 62nd percentile, so at least your streams won't buffer.

It's worth it only if your budget is exactly eighty dollars and your needs are dead simple: watching videos in bed or reading e-books. For anything more, you're better off saving for something else.

Don't compare this to an iPad Pro or a Surface Pro. That's silly. The real competition is other cheap Android tablets in the $100-$150 range, or even a used older iPad. Those will have much better performance and screens. Even a basic Amazon Fire tablet often feels more polished for media consumption, though it locks you into their ecosystem.

Skip it unless you're buying a disposable screen for a kid or a kitchen tablet. The performance is just too weak to recommend for any real use. For a little more money, you can get a significantly better experience that won't frustrate you every time you tap the screen.
