Last week, the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro finally made its way to India. The tablet that first went official in November 2021 has debuted in the country for a premium price tag. Despite being old, it competes directly with the latest Galaxy Tab S8 series in the region due to its pricing. But is it really worth its asking price? We try to answer this question in this article.

Pricing

The Lenovo Tab P12 Pro is priced at ₹69,999 in India for the sole 8GB + 256GB memory configuration. The WiFi-only tablet ships with a Lenovo Precision Pen 3 stylus and a 30W charger.

On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 and the Galaxy Tab S8 Plus arrive in both WiFi-only and cellular (5G) variants. But they are limited to 128GB storage in the county and do not ship with a charger. However, an S Pen stylus is included in the box.

Talking about the price, the WiFi version of Galaxy Tab S8 and Galaxy Tab S8 Plus costs ₹58,999 and ₹70,999, respectively. Whereas, the cellular model of these tablets retails at ₹74,999 and ₹87,999.

In other words, the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro sits between the Galaxy Tab S8 and the Galaxy Tab S8 Plus in terms of pricing

Discounts and Offers

Samsung is known for offering numerous discounts and promotions from time to time. The offers vary across channels as the company has a better reach in the country.

For example, buyers can currently avail of a ₹2,000 discount coupon, a ₹7,000 cashback on HDFC Bank cards, and a 5% referral discount on the Samsung Shop app.

Unfortunately, Lenovo does not offer discounts at this scale. The coupon discounts are limited and sales are very rare.

Software

Samsung is the only Android OEM releasing tablets across different price segments regularly for years. Hence, the company has developed a much better software than its competitors, like offering Samsung Galaxy ecosystem benefits and desktop-like features like Dex.

Also, it is the only brand to offer longer software support. For instance, the Galaxy Tab S8 series, which is currently on Android 12, is eligible for 4 Android updates and 5 years of security updates.

On the other hand, the software support for the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro ends in late 2024 itself. It boots Android 11 right now and it is scheduled to receive Android 12L by the end of June and Android 13 after it goes official later this year.

Specifications

The Lenovo Tab P12 Pro has an upper hand in the storage, battery, and display departments. It offers 256GB of internal storage, a 10,200mAh battery, and a Dolby Vision-supported 12.6-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels and up to 120Hz refresh rate.

Anyway, though the Galaxy Tab S8 features an 11-inch LCD panel, buyers can opt for a 12.4-inch Super AMOLED display with the Galaxy Tab S8 Plus whose WiFi-only variant is only slightly costlier than the Lenovo tablet. In fact, with the offers, the Samsung model could be had at a cheaper price.

But none of these Samsung tablets offer Dolby Vision and they are backed by smaller 8,000mAh and 10,090mAh batteries. Further, 128GB is too low if you happen to store and play lots of games. However, it is worth noting that you could use a MicroSD card on all three tablets for media purposes.

The biggest difference between these tablets is the chipsets powering them. The Lenovo Tab P12 Pro house the stable Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC. While the Galaxy Tab S8 and the Galaxy Tab S8 Plus feature the latest unstable Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip.

For authentication, the Lenovo tablet provides 3D face unlock, in addition to a fingerprint sensor. Whereas, the Samsung tablets offer Apple’s Center Stage-like feature and 4K video recording on their front camera.

Conclusion

The Lenovo Tab P12 Pro (aka Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.6) is a good product. It has almost all the bells and whistles for a premium Android tablet. But it lags behind the overall better experience offered by Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S8 series.

In most regions, the Lenovo model is way cheaper and thus it is easy to recommend it over any other Android tablet at the same price point. For the unaware, it costs around $550 on average globally.

But in India, the story is the opposite. The product costs the same as the Galaxy Tab S8 series. It retails at $900, which is almost $300 more than in other regions.

It is very difficult to choose the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro over the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 or the Galaxy Tab S8 Plus in India.

While the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro has already been launched in the global market, the company has just released the high end tablet for the Indian market but with a hefty price tag.

Talking about the specs of the Tab P12 Pro first, it sports a 12.6 inch AMOLED display with a 2560 x 1600 resolution and HDR10+ support. Under the hood, it is equipped with a  Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. A large 10,200mAh battery pack powers the device which supports 30W fast charging as well. The rear packs a 13 megapixel dual camera setup while the front houses an 8 megapixel selfie shooter.

For those unaware, the Chinese company’s Tab P12 Pro had launched in China as the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.6 back in November 2021. This model started from around 560 US Dollars in the Chinese market. But in India, the cost is nearly double, with a starting price of 69,999 INR, which is roughly 900 US Dollars. So, the tablet arrives months late and with a premium price tag. At this price, it competes with the likes of other high end tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8, which starts from 70,999 INR.

Interestingly, the new tablet is also one of the few devices that are eligible for the Android 12L. This OS version was announced by Google last year and was specifically made for large screen gadgets and foldable devices. The new Tab P12 Pro for India is currently listed on Amazon, company’s official website, and even exclusive Lenovo retail stores as well.

Yesterday, Google officially announced the Android 13 Beta program at the opening day keynote of the Google I/O 2022 conference. Just like the past few years, the search giant has partnered with multiple OEMs to enable developers to try out the upcoming version of Android.

Just like last year with the Android 12 Beta initiative, a total of 12 OEMs are part of the Android 13 Beta program. The only difference is that TCL has been replaced with Lenovo this time around.

Though most companies offer Android 13 Beta for a single device, there are some who provide builds for multiple products. Hence, the total number of eligible devices is actually 22, which happens to be 10 more than the OEMs involved.

Unsurprisingly, Google is the one with the most number of products, 8 Pixels smartphones to be precise. It is followed by Xiaomi with 3 devices comprising two smartphones and a tablet. Oppo is also offering builds for a smartphone and a foldable. Whereas, the remaining brands are limited to a single product.

With that out of the way, let’s take a look at all the smartphones and tablets on which you can try Android 13.

Japanese IT company NEC has launched a new tablet in its home country called LAVIE Tab T12. Upon evaluating the specifications properly, we found that the new NEC tablet is essentially a rebranded Lenovo Tab P12 Pro, which is also known as Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.6. The release of this product was first reported in English by PlayfulDroid.

The NEC LAVIE Tab T12 is priced at ¥96,580 ($840) in Japan. It is already up for sale in the region. According to the official website, it can be purchased from retail stores.

Talking about specs, the device has a 12.6-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10, and Dolby Vision. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC paired with 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage.

Further, the product sports a 13MP + 5MP dual-camera setup on the rear and another 8MP + ToF dual-camera system on the front. It also houses Dolby Atmos-supported quad stereo speakers tuned by JBL.

The tablet offers connectivity options like dual-band WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, USB  Type-C (USB 3.1 Gen2). Other features include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, MicroSD card slot, Android 11, and 10,200mAh battery.

Last but not least, customers can opt for official stylus and keyboard accessories if required.

Last month, the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro received its first beta of the Android 12L developer preview. Now, Google has started rolling out beta 2 on the Tab P12 Pro. Notably, this built comes two weeks after its release for the Google Pixel phones.

The Android 12L beta 2 brings the December security patch. It also has the SW flashing packages and a 12L Beta 2 image. Unfortunately, the beta build doesn’t have any release notes to refer to. Having said that, we aren’t sure what major changes does it bring, at the moment.

After taking a look at the Lenovo page, we saw that Lenovo has also not updated the list of SW limitations. It is the same as Beta 1. It seems that either Lenovo has forgotten to update the page, or the new Beta doesn’t really bring any fixes(via GSMArena).

Nonetheless, the Beta 2 build is here and you can download it from this link. It is sized at 1.7GB and is for the Wi-Fi version of the Tab P12 Pro – TB-Q706F.

In February, the tablet is expected to get the Android 12L Beta 3 update. The final build will be released in April this year.

Lenovo Tab P12 Pro Specifications 

The Lenovo Tab P12 Pro was launched back in September 2021. It has a 12.6-inch AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution. It has a 13MP + 5MP dual rear camera and an 8MP + 8MP dual selfie setup. The tablet also supports Stylus and has the Snapdragon 870 SoC inside. It has up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. It has a 10,200mAh battery and supports 45W fast charging support. It was released running on Android 11 out of the box.

The post Lenovo Tab P12 Pro gets Android 12L Beta 2 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Android 12L, which is designed for large-screen devices like tablets and foldables, is currently the latest version of Android. However, Google is yet to release beta builds for Pixels. In the announcement post, the search giant had revealed that a Developer Preview will be available for Lenovo Tab P12 Pro. This DP is now live for the said device.

The Android 12L Developer Preview for the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro comes directly from Lenovo and not Google (via 9To5Google). The first-ever build arrives with all the new APIs and November 2021 security patches.

The software can be only installed on the WiFi-only variant of the tablet with model number Lenovo TB-Q706F. This product is yet to go on sale in multiple countries. However, Google has already announced a special deal on this tablet for developers to try out Android 12L.

Lenovo clearly states that the Android 12L Developer Preview for the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro is only intended for application developers. Hence, the software build lacks many customized features, which are available in the stable channel.

The Chinese PC maker says that it has prioritized releasing Developer Preview as soon as possible by not optimizing its self-developed features on its hardware. This software build lacks almost all useful features of the device like fingerprint unlock, face unlock, touchpad gestures, functions related to the ToF sensor, and more.

Lenovo is hoping that developers will continue to provide regular feedback on this build. Anyway, it also offers an option to roll back to the stable channel.

The final AOSP release of Android 12L is scheduled to happen at the end of Q1 2022. We can expect OEMs like Lenovo, Samsung, and others to start rolling out the beta and the and stable builds to their end devices following that.

In the past couple of years, the demand for tablets have compounded, influenced by our shift towards virtual educations and office life. Having a large screen to study, work, or even for portable entertainment is extremely convenient, and we are seeing more and more smartphone and PC brands release tablets to cater to the different segments of the market.

Samsung, Lenovo, Apple are some of the best tablet brands in the market right now. You can also pick up tablets from Xiaomi and Realme, but unlike during 11/11 sale, they are not really at great discounts right now.

That said, let’s look at the best 2021 Black Friday tablet deals in the market right now. This includes deals from both AliExpress and Amazon US.

Lenovo Tablet Black Friday Deals 2021

The older Xiaoxin Pad Pro 11.5 was our favorite, but there’s an even better OLED 12.6-inch model in the market right now, which offers even better visuals and experience to its users.

Note that the best Xiaoxin Pad Lenovo deals are on AliExpress right now. Amazon doesn’t really have such good deals on Lenovo tabs, so it is better to get them from the AliExpress store.

In addition to being a top PC brand, Lenovo has strangely become one of the most popular tablet brands in 2021. The Xiaoxin Pad series, also known as the Lenovo Tab P series, stands out for its excellent value for money. Especially the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021, also known as Lenovo Tab P11 Pro, comes very close to the premium tablet category. And just six months later, we now have an upgraded option. A bigger and better AMOLED 120Hz display is now featured on the latest Lenovo Tab P12 Pro. Along with the upgraded display, the new tablet also comes with a larger battery and an upgraded Memory and storage combination. Since we loved the Tab P11 Pro, now we really wonder how exactly the new tablet performs as a higher-level model. 

Enough of an introduction. Let’s find out what we got on this Tab P12 Pro!

Let’s start with its pricing. Probably some of you don’t consider it as value for money as for the Tab P11 Pro. Indeed, now you have to pay around 200 to 300 dollars more for the upgraded P12 Pro, but the performance will be more or less the same, since they are both powered by the Snapdragon 870 chipset. However, the 870 chipset is still the best chipset that you can have on an Android tablet. And if you compare it with the SAMSUNG Tab S7+, the P12 Pro is obviously an excellent cheaper option with much better value for money. The S7+ tablet uses a 120Hz 2K AMOLED display powered by a Snapdragon 865+ chipset, which can deliver a very close performance in terms of hardware capacity. With this in mind, just think about whether it’s worth paying the extra money to upgrade to a Tab S7+? 

Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.6 2021: Design

Let’s look at its design. These two Lenovo tablets come with exactly the same design and form factor. The P12 Pro has the same integrated metal body without any seams. It still feels pretty premium and no doubt has the best built among all the Android tablets. The P12 Pro’s bezels are as narrow as the predecessor, but it’s visually narrower because of the bigger display. As for the thickness, It’s physically 2mm thinner and feels even thinner than what the figure gives us when holding it in hand.  

And to guarantee a stable wireless signal, the antenna band is also reserved. Other details like the quad speakers tuned by JBL, fingerprint unlock, and Micro-SD card slot are also present. You may note that the camera module seems to be different from the P11 Pro, but actually, the hardware used inside doesn’t change at all. Another most significant difference is about the attached stylus. The second generation of the stylus finally supports magnetically attaching at the back with wireless charging support. But I also want to remind you that the first generation of the stylus designed for the P11 Pro also works with the P12 Pro, although it won’t charge magnetically. 

And the new tablet also comes with a new keyboard kit, which now supports Bluetooth connectivity besides a contact connection. Like its predecessor, the P12 Pro can be considered a 2-in-1 tablet with a keyboard kit. 

Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.6 2021: Display

The display is definitely the most important factor in making your choice between the two Xiaoxin tablets. First, the new model is bigger and smoother with better pixel detail. The new tablet’s display applies the same pixel arrangement as the SAMSUNG Tab S7+. And this new pixel arrangement significantly improves the font blurring issue that we found on the Lenovo P11 Pro during its comparison with the Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro.

When compared to its predecessor, the sharper text edge on the P12 Pro brought a much better reading experience, which is pretty close to what we have on LCD panels. And it’s not only a better reading experience, the new design of pixel arrangement also brings out more vibrant colors where blue pixels are involved. Without comparison with the P12 Pro, I wouldn’t realize that the older P11 Pro’s colors were a bit dull but the new display is much more vibrant. And it continuously supports Dolby Vision and HDR content. As you can see in the video, although our camera may not exactly show the difference, I believe most of you already can pick out which one looks better.

And the better color presentation also makes it an excellent option for photo or video editing. In the latest ZUI 13 operating system, users can turn the tablet into a second screen for a PC by wireless connection. However, by far it only supports the projection at 2K 30Hz signal with perceivable latency. And under this mode, the wireless projection cannot really show the strength of this display as it should.

In addition, for professional image processing, it’s also important to note that the tablet supports 100% of the P3 gamut and no other gamut for conversion. 

In addition, the 120Hz takes the whole system to another level of fluidity, which is also the highest refresh rate that you can have on a tablet product. No matter, for a high-frame-rate video or gaming, it can provide excellent support for users. 

On the other hand, its 2k resolution is still the same as the Lenovo P11 Pro. And the peak brightness also remains at around 600nit, which is only available in partial area. And this time the new tablet supports an enhanced-brightness mode in strong sunlight, which makes it pretty convenient to use outdoors. 

As for audio performance, the P12 Pro still uses 4 x JBL speakers for stereo sound. And if you are going to use it for watching Dolby vision or listening to Dolby Atmos, the tablet will not let you down. 

Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.6 2021: Performance

1 of 3

Like the P11 Pro, the new tablet has taken full advantage of the Snapdragon 870 chipset. So the performance tests didn’t bring us much surprise. No matter for the benchmark results or the actual gaming performance, the P12 Pro is still the most powerful beast among all the Android tablets. By the way, playing games on this 12.6-inch 120Hz display is really delightful. 

On the P12 Pro, Lenovo eventually updated the operating system to ZUI 13 for Pad, which aims to give users a better experience with tablet products and make it more suitable for tablet use scenarios. 

But the upgrade is not very effective. While we did find some optimization for the existing features, but very few new features were added in the latest version of the OS. The PC Mode is still the most successful feature for the new software, but there’s no obvious update for the PC mode. You can still open 5 app windows at the same time; there is still the same interface as what we had on the P11 Pro. Even so, it’s still the best solution for a 2-in-1 tablet that you can have in the market now. One of the few new features that we mentioned above is the wireless capacity of being a second screen for PC. But just like I said, it doesn’t really work well for the latency and poor colors. 

Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.6 Review: Cameras

As for its camera module, we shot a few samples for you with its 13MP main camera and 5MP wide-angle camera. The tablet is not exactly designed for photography, and of course, its performance doesn’t compare to some mid-range phones. So here, just check for yourself whether it meets your needs. 

1 of 7

Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.6 Review: Battery Life & Charging

Another small upgrade is the power solution. The P12 Pro features a 10200mAh battery, which is 1,600mAh larger than the P11 Pro, with up to 45W QC fast charge. But the charger included is just a 30W one. So if you want to speed up the charging, you will have to get a 45W charger that supports the Quick Charge 4 protocol. Here are the results of our charging test and battery-life test. No doubt it can last for more than an entire day as long as you don’t play games all day. 

So that’s the new Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.6, also known as the Lenovo P12 Pro. Obviously, it’s a more refined version of the P11 Pro, coming with a brand-new perfect display and a higher configuration for memory and storage. And it brings a slightly better power solution too. Apart from it, all the features are retained from its predecessor.

So, if the display was the main reason that stopped you from buying the Lenovo P11 Pro, we would happily recommend the new tablet to you. But if you are not that sensitive to displays, I would rather say that the P11 Pro is already good enough, at least better than most Android tablets in the market. 

Meanwhile, if you decide to buy the P12 Pro, please note that you are also going to pay more money for the exclusive stylus and keyboard case. 

Unfortunately, we still haven’t got the exclusive stylus and keyboard case. But we will show you all about the new accessories in the next video about this tablet. Please stay tuned!

Google recently announced Android 12L for large screen devices like tablets and foldables. Currently, the developer preview for this version of Android is only available via emulator. However, the search giant has confirmed that there will be beta builds for Pixels and Lenovo Tab P12 Pro starting in December. Ahead of that, Google is offering a special developer discount on the said Lenovo tablet so that more developers might show interest in trying out the new software.

According to a report by 9to5Google, Google is offering a discount on Lenovo Tab P12 Pro (WiFi-only variant) in select markets. By using the promo code  ADSLENOVOP12, customers can avail a 10% off on the premium Android tablet on Lenovo’s official website.

This special developer discount is only applicable in the following regions.

• USA
• Canada
• Korea
• United Kingdom
• Ireland
• Germany
• Austria
• Switzerland
• France
• Spain
• Portugal
• Italy
• Netherlands
• Belgium
• Norway
• Denmark
• Sweden
• Finland

The promo will be valid until February 28. For those unaware, the Android 12L Beta program ends in February. Therefore, the discount lasts until that month only.

It is worth noting that though the tablet was announced in September as a rebranded Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021, it is yet to go on sale in some of the above-mentioned markets. Anyway, the promo code will work as soon as the device hits the shelves.

Even if you are not a developer, you can still use the promo code to snag the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro at a lower price. Some of the highlights of this device include a 12.6-inch 2K 120Hz AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 870, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, quad speakers, stylus support, 10,200mAh battery, and more.

Earlier this month, the upcoming Lenovo Tap P12 Pro was spotted at Google Play Console. The listing revealed some of its key specs. Now, weeks later, this tablet has been certified by FCC exposing its connectivity options.

The Lenovo Tab P12 Pro with model number TB-Q706F has appeared on FCC. According to the listing, this tablet will have support for dual-band WiFi and NFC. Apart from these two factors, the listing also says that the tablet will measure 286×185mm in dimensions.

As per Google Play Console, this tablet will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset. It will have 8GB RAM and will run Android 11.

Sicne last year’s Lenovo Tab P11 Pro was a rebranded Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro, the forthcoming Lenovo Tab P12 Pro could also be a rebadged Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021 with some changes since it is said to come with a different SoC.

Hence, we can expect features like an 11.5-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, 90Hz refresh rate, and Dolby Vision. The tablet could arrive with 13MP (wide) + 5MP (ultra-wide) dual rear camera setup, 8MP (wide) + 8MP (IR for face unlock) dual front cameras, quad-speakers with Dolby Atmos, USB Type-C 3.1 port, MicroSD card slot, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 8,600mAh battery, and 20W fast charging.

Unfortunately, it’s not known when the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro will go official. Even if it does, it will probably take more time to reach every market, just like its predecessor

Lenovo Tab P12 Pro has appeared in the Google Play Console, fueling speculation that the launch of the device could be imminent. The Lenovo P12 Pro is a successor to the P11 Pro which was released in 2020. It could sport a more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 (or 860) chipset ahead of the Snapdragon 730G that powered the P11 Pro.

Back in July, the Lenovo Yoga Tab 13, Yoga Tab 11, and Tab P11 Plus tablets were released globally. The Yoga Tab and Tab P11 models have IPS LCDs, and the P11 Pro has an 11.5-inch OLED display.

The Lenovo P12 Pro (TB-Q706F) still packs less power than the Yoga Tab 13, which is powered by the Snapdragon 870 chipset. It offers 8GB of RAM and comes with Android 11 out of the box. The display may not be significantly different from that of the P11 Pro. Although the Google Play Console listing did not specify the charging capability of the device, we expect it not to fall below 20W. We also expect a decent four-speaker setup, dual rear camera, and a few other features prominent in its predecessors.

The Lenovo P12 Pro could be just weeks away from its launch. We would expect more details about the device as we progress to its eventual unveiling. There are a few specs and features that are yet to be released for the device. The nature and capacity of the battery of the device have not been divulged. Similarly, we are not sure whether wireless charging is employed.

Pricing and global availability information have not been released yet. Indeed the date of unveiling of the Lenovo P12 Pro is also not known. We’ll keep you on the loop for new details on the Lenovo P12 Pro.
