Today, Lenovo announced multiple products at its second summer product launch. The lineup includes new tablets, one of which is the Xiaoxin Pad Plus, a mid-range tablet that offers a lot for a pretty affordable price.

The Xiaoxin Pad Plus has an 11-inch LCD 2K (2000 x 1200) display with moderate-sized bezels of equal thickness on all sides. There is an 8MP ToF sensor in front with support for face unlock as the tablet doesn’t have a fingerprint scanner. On the back are a 13MP autofocus camera and an LED flash.

The tablet is powered by the Snapdragon 750G processor and comes with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. You get 110GB when you boot it up for the first time but there is a MicroSD card slot to add more storage if you want.

Lenovo ships it with ZUI 12.5 based on Android 11 and it comes with March 2021’s security patch. There is a 7700mAh battery inside the device and it has support for Quick Charge 3.0. The tablet charges via a Type-C 3.1 port and also via the four pogo pins at the bottom when in landscape mode. These pogo pins also connect to the optional keyboard designed for the tablet.

The Xiaoxin Pad Plus has four 1.5W JBL speakers and Dolby Atmos for surround sound. It also has dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.1 but doesn’t have support for 5G as there is no SIM slot.

Lenovo has put a price tag of ¥1999 on the Xiaoxin Pad Plus (~$312) which is way cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE which has similar specs and is priced at €649 (~$795). While Samsung’s own tablet has 5G, packs a significantly bigger battery, and comes with a stylus, it only has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

To make this an even better deal, Lenovo is offering a limited-time discount on the Xiaoxin Pad Plus. Those who pre-order between today and June 1, can pick it up for ¥1599 (~$250). The savings can be put towards the purchase of the Xiaoxin Active Capacitive Pen which is priced at ¥299 (~$47) or the ¥469 (~$73) Xiaoxin Pad Magnetic Keyboard. The latter has a trackpad and a built-in kickstand with a free stop hinge that can be adjusted between 0° and 165°.

Interested buyers can purchase the tablet and accessories on Lenovo’s official website.

Lenovo has a launch scheduled for May 25 where it plans to announce a couple of new tablets. Two of these tablets are the Xiaoxin Pad Plus and the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021, and ahead of their launch, Lenovo has revealed some of their key details.

Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021

The Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021 will have an 11.5-inch OLED display with a 2560 x 1600 resolution with a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, HDR 10, and a 90Hz refresh rate. The screen is housed inside a CNC machined metal body that is 5.8mm thick at its thinnest point. The weight of the device is put at 485 grams and it appears it will only be available in a single variant.

Lenovo has confirmed that there is a Snapdragon 870 chipset inside the device with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. There is a MicroSD card slot for storage expansion and of course support for USB OTG, so you can plug in USB devices.

The Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021 also has four JBL speakers with a total power of up to 6W. It also supports Dolby Audio and has an intelligent audio mode. The published spec sheet also reveals the tablet has an 8600mAh battery, supports Quick Charge 3.0, and charges via USB-C. It has a fingerprint scanner that is buried under the power button and also supports face unlock, thanks to the dual front-facing cameras. There are also two cameras on the back of the device.

Lenovo will ship it with ZUI 12.5 based on Android 11 with software features that make learning easier for students. A list of optional official accessories will also be made available such as a stylus, a keyboard case, a case that allows it to be propped up in landscape or portrait mode, a screen protector that is available in plastic film and glass film variants, and a standard protective case.

The Xiaoxin Pad Plus also has an 11-inch display but not an LCD panel. The screen resolution is 2000 x 1200 and the brightness level is 400 nits. Lenovo also states that the display is TÜV Rheinland-certified and supports 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity. The display is housed in a body that is 7.9mm thick and the overall device weighs 520 grams.

There is a Snapdragon 750G processor inside and it draws juice from a 7700mAh battery with support for Quick Charge 3.0 over USB-C. It has OTG support and also has a MicroSD card slot. There is no fingerprint scanner on this model but the 8MP front-facing camera adds support for face unlock. On the back of the tablet is a 13MP sensor.

The Xiaoxin Pad Plus will ship with ZUI 12.5 based on Android 11 out of the box with the same educational software features available on the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021. It will also have the same array of optional accessories.

Both tablets will be announced on May 25 at 19:30 in China.
