MENTUME 10 Inch Review

This $80 tablet is all about storage and a low price tag. Its CPU and GPU performance are below average (42nd and 44th percentiles), making it a basic media streamer, not a gaming or work device. Only buy it if your needs are very simple and your budget is absolute.

The MENTUME Tablet 10 Inch is an $80 Android tablet that makes some big promises. It leads with an 18GB RAM claim and Android 15, which sounds impressive on paper. But our data tells a different story: its CPU and GPU performance land in the 42nd and 44th percentiles, respectively, which puts it squarely in the 'basic' category for processing power. The one area where it truly shines is storage, hitting the 95th percentile thanks to its 128GB base and 1TB expandable option. That's a lot of space for not a lot of cash.

Overall, this tablet scored a 41.4 out of 100 in our testing. It's best suited for light entertainment, scoring 45.2 in that category, but it's a weak performer for productivity, scraping by with a 26. Think of it as a budget streaming and browsing device, not a workhorse or a serious gaming machine. For eighty bucks, you're getting a very specific set of trade-offs.

Let's talk numbers. That octa-core processor running at 2.0 GHz delivers CPU performance in the 42nd percentile. In plain English, it's fine for opening apps and scrolling through menus, but don't expect it to handle complex tasks or heavy multitasking without stuttering. The GPU is in a similar boat at the 44th percentile, so while it can run casual games, demanding 3D titles will likely struggle. The 18GB RAM claim is unusual for this price point, but our RAM performance score is only in the 34th percentile, suggesting the memory isn't as fast or efficient as the quantity implies. The 6000mAh battery is average, landing at the 49th percentile, so you'll get a day of light use but not much more.

At $80, the value proposition is entirely about managing expectations. You're paying for a large screen, the latest OS, and tons of storage space. The performance per dollar is okay if you only need a media consumption device. However, when you look at the weak percentiles for CPU, GPU, and features, it becomes clear you're getting a budget-tier experience. There's no magic here, just a very cheap tablet that cuts corners on the internals to hit a rock-bottom price.

Stacked against the competition, the MENTUME's role is clear. An Apple iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ will absolutely demolish it in every performance metric, but they also cost 5-10 times more. A more direct competitor might be other sub-$100 Android tablets from brands like Amazon (Fire tablets) or lesser-known Chinese brands. The MENTUME differentiates itself with Android 15 and its storage claims, while Fire tablets lock you into Amazon's ecosystem. Compared to a Lenovo Idea Tab, you're trading build quality and brand reputation for a lower price and newer software. It's a classic 'you get what you pay for' scenario.

Skip this tablet if you need to get real work done. Its productivity score of 26 out of 100 is a major red flag. Students, remote workers, or anyone who needs to use office apps, video conferencing software, or do any kind of content creation should look elsewhere. The weak CPU (42nd percentile) and overall feature set (20th percentile) mean it will choke on multitasking and lack the polish for professional use. This is a consumption device, not a creation tool.

We can only recommend the MENTUME Tablet 10 Inch for one very specific user: someone who needs a cheap, large-screen device almost exclusively for watching videos, light browsing, and maybe reading, and who values storage space above all else. The data is clear—its performance scores are mediocre to poor outside of storage. If your budget is rigidly $80 and you refuse to buy used, this might work. For anyone else, especially if productivity is a consideration, saving up for a more capable device from a known brand is the data-backed move.
