Today Lenovo introduced the Lenovo Tab Plus, an entertainment tablet that delivers an outstanding sonar experience with Eight JBL speakers with Hi-fi matrix structure tuned by Dolby Atmos. Designed for music lovers, the 11.5-inch tablet complements its premium sound with a 2K display for vivid visuals and an adjustable stand for optimal enjoyment from every angle.

"Tablets have evolved to meet the needs of people transitioning between work, study and play, offering a balanced combination of mobility and performance," said Tony Chen, vice president of Tablets, Intelligent Devices Group, Lenovo. "As the tablet market recovers, customers can expect increased Lenovo product differentiation through features that address their specific demands. The Lenovo Tab Plus is a prime example of a well-rounded tablet that delivers premium sound for a truly immersive entertainment experience."



Inspiration in Every Beat
An essential device for music lovers, the Lenovo Tab Plus transforms virtually any location into a personal entertainment sanctuary with 26 W of crisp stereo sound. Featuring Eight JBL Hi-fi speakers, including four matrix tweeters and four force-balanced woofers housed in 4 speaker boxes totaling 22 cc, the tablet brings any bedroom or living room to life with deeper, more pronounced bass and clearer treble. In addition, it is tuned by Dolby Atmos and supports high-res audio of 24-bit and 96 kHz frequency when using headphones.

To maximize the tablet's functionality and audio system designed and engineered with JBL, the Lenovo Tab Plus transforms into a Bluetooth speaker for seamless audio anywhere, streamed from your portable device like a smartphone, and comes with an integrated kickstand for up to 175 degrees of viewing flexibility. For the utmost sonar customization, it comes with a personalized app volume control that lets you fine-tune audio settings. With the app volume control, the tablet automatically cranks up the volume when your favorite music or podcast app is open, lowers the sound when a browser is chosen, and more.

A Complete Non-Stop Entertainment Experience
The Lenovo Tab Plus delivers a complete entertainment experience, matching its sonar prowess with a 11.5-inch 2K TUV-certified display with 90 Hz of refresh rate that complements the crisp sounds and heart pumping bass with vibrant images and evocative graphics. A TUV-certified screen undergoes testing to ensure low-blue light and flicker-free for optimal eye comfort. To ensure non-stop entertainment on the go, the tablet is packed with an 8600 mAh battery capable of streaming up to 12 hours and 45 W fast charging that reaches full power in only 90 minutes.

Lenovo's latest entertainment tablet is powered by a MediaTek Helio G99 processor, offers up to 256 GB of built-in storage with an option to expand via MicroSD card (sold separately) and is IP52 water and dust resistant. It features a built-in Immersive Reading Mode that softens the screen to simulate the color matrix of a book's pages and can transform into a digital photo frame or clock via Standby Mode. Standby Mode is automatically activated when the Lenovo Tab Plus is not in use and charging in landscape mode with the kickstand.

The Lenovo Tab Plus safeguards users with a privacy dashboard that lets the owner manage permissions, will offer upgrades for 2 years with 4 years of security patches until June 2028, and is available with Lenovo Premium Care for personalized technical support and Lenovo Accidental Damage Protection One for safety against accidental drops or spills. The tablet is compatible with the Lenovo Tab Pen Plus, the Lenovo 68 W USB-C Wall Charger, the Lenovo Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard, and a protective sleeve made with Dupont Tyvek material and PU leather.

Pricing and Availability
Lenovo Tab Plus is now available in select global markets with an expected starting price of €279 (including VAT) and $289.99.

@TheLostSwede

Everything alright there? :laugh:


Im a little dubious about the sound quality. They've upgraded tablet speakers with laptop speakers. My HP laptop has speakers that are tuned by Bang&Olaughson and it still sounds a bit mediocre.

I have a tablet from Lenovo. I can't stand their launcher and, to my surprise, I discovered Google's is not an option (not available in the store). I went with Nova, but it seems crash-prone :(

No, I'm not aching for nostalgia! :p But in the mobile device space it used to be the driving factor for technology to have a model that made X really good and it would make it stand-out, instead of the current bare landscape of "jack-of-all-trades, master of none" amount of tiles and smaller tiles.

I don't usually look at Lenovos outside ThinkPads, because everything else is just disposable outside of warranty or straight-up e-waste, but this one seems to be a step in the right direction...if it can at least upgrade to Android 17.

They only promise two OS upgrades, if you read the attached specs.

I read "OS upgrades for 2 years", which has been the norm when manufacutrers don't want to commit with support/Android versions, especialy beyond warranty. But the EU, at least, has been pushing them to do it, which is why I commented with hope in my opinion than even in two years it could reach A17, given that A15 should be out this year.

This is pretty Standard

My P12 pro came with Android 11 and is now on Android 13 with security update May 5th, 2024.

Getting Android 15 in Q1/Q2 2026 can qualify as "OS upgrades for 2 years".

Sure, but Android seems to get one update a year. If Lenovo looks at it the same way is a different matter.
But that would only take it to Android 16, since it shops with Android 14.

Unfortunately yes. These devices have much more than a two year life span. At least Lenovo says they'll offer four years of security updates.

They are getting alittle better with this due to competition from Samsung who is forced to increase theirs due to apple.

I wasn't specifically pointing fingers at Lenovo here, as most Android device makers are doing the same thing.
It's why I only ever bought one phone from Asus.

agreed sounds bar a good option when you don't have space.

If I have the space dedicated speakers are a must if you care about the quality of your audio.

not a bad tablet for the price.

Is it though...? For a similar price You can get Redmi Pad Pro/Poco Pad. Slightly bigger screen with higher resolution, much better SoC, bigger battery (which is weird considering how thiccc this Lenovo is) and yet lower weight.

If this went for 200-230€, then maybe, but 280€ is too much.

That one is also a good option.

It looks like it has some pretty thick housing for the woofers on the bottom (for a tablet anyway).
I have no idea how good/bad this thing really is, but at least they took displacement into account.

Into the trash it goes...

I don't usually look at Lenovos outside ThinkPads, because everything else is just disposable outside of warranty or straight-up e-waste, but this one seems to be a step in the right direction...if it can at least upgrade to Android 17.

The question is, do you even want to run Android 17 on this hardware. Android is already resource inefficient as it is, you're going to have an iPhone 4s situation with all of these devices that have these anemic low-end SoC's. A "multimedia" tablet with a SoC that 2 year old Motorola low-end phones that already suffered from performance issues running Android 12... no, this is just garbage.

Sure, but Android seems to get one update a year. If Lenovo looks at it the same way is a different matter.
But that would only take it to Android 16, since it shops with Android 14.


Unfortunately yes. These devices have much more than a two year life span. At least Lenovo says they'll offer four years of security updates.
As has been brought up before, android is not iOS. Not getting the latest "feature" update (and I use that term VERY loosely now) doesnt mean your android device stops working or being able to install apps. Security updates are more important, and lenovo gives 4. Apps wont start complaining for usually 1-2 years IME after security updates stop, at which point the tablet is 6 years old.

You REALLY think a 8GB tablet is gonna struggle to run android? LMFAO please. The helio G99 is comparable to the swathe of mid range snapdragons that run android without issue. My 2020 moto with midrange 4 year old snapdragon and 3GB RAM runs perfectly fine. It isnt 2009 anymore, we dont have issues unless you are talking the sub $100 scrap heaps.

Is it though...? For a similar price You can get Redmi Pad Pro/Poco Pad. Slightly bigger screen with higher resolution, much better SoC, bigger battery (which is weird considering how thiccc this Lenovo is) and yet lower weight.

If this went for 200-230€, then maybe, but 280€ is too much.
Yeah, but expect even crappier software support for Xiaomi's bastardized Android.

Yes, and I'll stand my ground here actually. You can have 1 TB of RAM if you want, a 5 year old Snapdragon 855 will put this SoC in the ground, and you mean to tell me you'll be running android 17 on it. You must have the patience of a monk.

You seem to be under the (false) impression that if the hardware grows stronger, Android system requirements grow to match that.
Here's Android 14 on a lowly Unisoc platform: https://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_e14-13148.php

You may not be able to play the latest games 4 years from now. But the phone will continue to be perfectly usable and able to use the latest Android version.
