Another hit by Lenovo
This is my 2nd Android tablet by Lenovo and I am loving them more and more. The other one I own and use daily is the Yoga Tab Plus and this one I have been using for mainly streaming/content consumption and light gaming (Tower Defense). The price to performance ration is great when comparing to the other competitors and the build quality is excellent. In the box ------------------------- Super lightweight and thing 12.1 Tablet Pin extractor tool USB C charging cable (you need to supply your own power brick Standard paperwork. Setup ------------------------- Being an Android tablet, setup was super quick and easy. I just logged into my Google Account and everything was being set up in the background quickly. The only thing that took a while was all the updates required. Apps took the longest to update, then there was not 1 but 2 Lenovo OS updates back to back. But once everything was done, it was just me signing into my apps I used the most and on to my daily tasks. Performance ------------------------- The Idea Tab Plus is a 2.5k resolution screen that can do a max of 90hz refresh. This was more than satisfactory for my as watching most streams were 1440 @ 60 or FHD (1080) @ 60 and looked great. Putting in a couple hours in gaming never got the tablet warm and even after 4+ hours of binge watching shows yielded the same results. Battery life claims 13+ hours on a full charge and I can safely say those claims are true as I watched my YouTube channels in the span of a few days. Brightness was around 50-60%. Sound is adequate from the built in speakers and will do the job just fine, but I prefer using my over the ear headphones. Another great thing Lenovo does is expansion! Granted you get 128gb of storage on the tablet, but you get a Micro SD slot that can do up to an extra 2TB of storage! I am so happy some companies still allow this while the others did away with it. So huge thumbs up to Lenovo. Final thoughts ------------------------- If you are looking for a tablet for mainly content consumption and light gaming with a little bit of productivity sprinkled in, then I would look no further. Lenovo created an excellent tablet that (sold separately) can use a KB/Cover attachment to do a multitude of tasks. Personally I recommend putting the Tablet in a protective case asap as a safety precaution. The clear one I got was perfect for my needs.

Great Price Point, Perfect for Kids
The Lenovo Idea Tab Plus is a midrange tablet that bodes well above its price point, especially after some healthy updates. Unboxing and setting up the device was simple. Any android user should feel right at home. Despite the thin profile, there's a premium finish to give it a less "cheapy" feel that you would expect from say a budget device. This being in the lower midrange though, means you'll see the bezels which are noticeably larger than what I’m used to. However the size more than makes up for it with its 12.1 inch screen. Once powered on, the display felt natural, bright and vibrant. Functionally, the screen is smooth and flawlessly responsive. Audio performance is surprisingly crisp with the built in Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers. I found myself enjoying the tablet without the need for headphones. Admittedly one of the areas that shows the price range is the storage, with only 128gb. However, Lenovo gets a pass because of the included expansion for microSD cards, which alleviates my concern. One of the more impressive features though, is the compatibility with Google’s Kid Space, this is a win in my book. It transforms the entire interface into a kid-friendly environment, complete with robust parental controls via the Family Link app. The Idea Tab Plus actually exceeded expectations, performance wise. My son played Minecraft for hours without a single freeze or crash, something his previous tablet struggled with. Whether it was YouTube, games, or multi tasking, nothing seemed to hinder its functionality. The 90Hz refresh rate made a noticeable difference, mostly while switching between apps or navigating different windows. Also, the battery lasted all day, so I did not have to worry about recharging constantly. One thing Lenovo could do better, is offer more accessories. I was disappointed to find only a few case options, only folio styles, and not many choices from other brands either. As a parent, I want strong, kid-friendly cases to keep the tablet safe. Final Thoughts: The Lenovo Idea Tab Plus is an excellent choice for families seeking a reliable and affordable tablet with premium features. Its performance, kid-friendly interface option, and vibrant display make it a lovely purchase.

Nice Little Tablet for Media Consumption
I’ve been using the Lenovo Idea Tab Plus for a couple days and here’s the feedback. The first thing you notice is the screen — both the size and quality. It’s a 12.1” display with a 16:10 aspect ratio, which has its pros and cons. The shape makes it awesome for watching movies or YouTube — 16x9 video content fills almost the whole screen and looks fantastic. Colors pop, it’s super sharp, and it gets very bright. Honestly, for the price, I think it rivals the screen quality of some mid-tier iPads. Now, while that 16:10 layout is great for media, it can feel a little awkward to hold depending on what you’re doing. Vertically, it feels natural — perfect for scrolling websites or reading. But when you turn it sideways in landscape, it’s just wide enough that you almost need two hands. It’s not heavy at all, but that wide layout takes some getting used to. Performance-wise, it’s okay. Not the most responsive tablet out there, but totally fine for casual use. Scrolling web pages has been smooth, and video playback is great. Typing on the on-screen keyboard does have a slight bit of lag here and there, but it hasn’t been a dealbreaker. I did try some gaming, too. I downloaded Call of Duty Mobile — a game I play all the time on my iPad Pro — and while the gameplay was fine with no real lag, I was only able to get Medium graphics settings. Everything looked kind of blurry and pixelated. I was able to connect my Xbox controller easily enough, so props to Lenovo for that, but if you're buying this for anything beyond casual gaming, I wouldn’t recommend it. Lighter games like Spades and Hearts ran just fine, as expected. I haven’t used the AI note-taking yet since I don’t have the Lenovo pen, but I might keep an eye out for one. Gemini works just like it does on my Android phone — no surprises there. I also tried Circle to Search, and while it does work, the home button bar sits lower on this tablet than it does on my phone, so it takes a little more precision to get it to trigger. Still usable though. Now, the speakers? Well…they’re just flat and weak. If you care at all about sound, you’ll want to use headphones. I was also pretty disappointed that it didn’t come with any accessories. No stand, no pen — nothing. If Lenovo’s going to pitch this as a productivity tool or school companion, they really should’ve thrown something in the box. There’s not even a charging brick. Just USB-C cable. But what really frustrated me was the setup process. It actually forced me to install games I didn’t want. I mean, come on — that kind of nonsense drives me crazy. I deleted them right after, but that experience is such a turn-off. I would have given 5-starts because I do think the hardware is a good value, but just let me start fresh. Don’t clutter it up with bloatware right out of the gate. At the end of the day, it’s a solid tablet for watching content, reading, or browsing — especially for the screen quality. But the weak speaker, lack of included accessories, and forced app installs keep it from being a home run. If all you need is a casual tablet for media and light use, it’ll do the job. Just don’t expect a full-on gaming or productivity powerhouse. Still, I’d give it a solid 4 stars.
