Lenovo - Idea Tab Plus - 12.1" 2.5K Tablet - 8GB RAM - 128GB UFS - Luna Grey

The Best ! Love the size and the sound. Battery last a long time with a full charge and does not take no time to charge. The pitcher is fantastic!

This the perfect tablet price/performance. In that range you won't find a better deal. Love the screen sooooo much better than my cousin's A11 tab also the huge battery is a big plus. I already bought a cover that fits just perfect.

I highly recommend it, it is an excellent tablet for school for students. It's quick and useful. They also work well for games. I highly recommend them. This table gives me a good experience

This is an excellent tablet would recommend to anyone in my opinion. This is even better than the Apple iPad by four LCD clear bachelor life is amazing. Only one thing does not use a SIM card. That’s the only take away for me.

_____ *Pros: -Bright and crisp display (up to 800 nits). -90Hz refresh rate. -Nicely balanced weight distribution. -Clean, simple design. -Can expand storage via microSD card. -The four speakers sound great. -Four years of security updates. _____ *Neutral: -Only supported up to Android 17. Comes with Android 15. -Wish it came with a built-in kickstand. _____ *Cons: -The camera’s shutter speed is bad. -Camera quality is so-so, especially in low light environments. -GPU is mediocre and can’t smoothly play high-end mobile games. The Lenovo Idea Tab Plus is mostly a satisfactory and good Android tablet, especially at its current price level. The design and build quality are excellent, with the in-hand feeling smooth and well-weighted and balanced. The corners are rounded and smooth, and they don’t dig into the palms causing discomfort and pain. At a weight of about one pound, it won’t easily cause fatigue when a child is handling it, such as my 10yo daughter. The power and volume buttons are located in predictable and convenient locations, and the buttons are tactile and responsive. The 12.1” 2560 x 1600 LCD screen is a treat. It’s sharp and crisp, colorful, and can get very bright. The quality of the screen was a pleasant surprise, and streaming movies and TV shows was a quality and satisfactory experience. The screen supports the Lenovo pen, but the pen is not in the box unfortunately. The screen is very responsive to finger tips and swipes, and writing and drawing apps performed just fine even without a pen. The four-speaker sound system was another pleasant surprise, and the audio quality was better than I anticipated. Despite its thinness, the audio quality was almost as good as the speakers on my 18” laptop, with warm sound, decent soundstage, and passable bass. Volume at 100% is nice and loud but some soundtracks experienced distortion and crackling, such as heavy metal tracks. The tablet arrived with Android 15, which is one version away from the most recent Android build right now, and it comes with a four-year security update promise from Lenovo and guarantee update up to Android 17. I know the Idea Tab Plus is an entry-level, value tablet, but it’s disappointing that the support period is so short. The Lenovo Android launcher is snappy, responsive, and easy to navigate around. The tablet comes preconfigured for a swipe-based gesture navigation, but I changed it to the 3-button method because that’s what I’m used to. Having used many tablets from each major software camp (iOS, Android, Fire, etc.), I still find Android to be the most convenient, intuitive, and well-suited option for a power user type such as myself. Android is exponentially better than the competition when it comes to handling notifications. When it comes to performance, everything was good except for when trying to run high-end games such as Cookie Run Kingdom. On my Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, the game runs smoothly and perfectly, but on the Idea Tab Plus with its middling MediaTek Dimensity 6400 SoC, the game was an absolute stutterfest. Based on some benchmark numbers I ran, I wasn’t surprised – the Idea Tab Plus only scored 753 single-core and 1971 multi-core on Geekbench 6 CPU, and a 1252 on Geekbench 6 Compute, which are very low scores. Less demanding games, such as Dandy’s World on Roblox and Cat and Soup, ran just fine, and gameplay using a Bluetooth-connected gamepad was enjoyable and fun. Playing AV1 compressed media files was also good. Another noticeable weakness of the tablet is its camera performance. Both the 13MP rear shooter and the 5MP front shooter are, at best, just average in quality in ideal lighting conditions, and in low light and dark settings, fare very badly, with lots of ghosting, smearing, and loss of fine detail. The cameras can be used in a pinch but for important shots, it’s better to stick to the cameras on modern smartphones. The tablet comes with 128GB of storage that can be further expanded via a microSD card, which is very nice and useful. Other aspects of the Idea Tab Plus were good and reliable as well, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections. I often plugged in a USB-C thumb drive to transfer large media files, and the experience was seamless and transfer speeds satisfactory. The 10,200 mAh battery provides stellar runtime, and the Idea Tab Plus barely lost any charge the next day when the screen was turned off and left not charging overnight. All in all, the Idea Tab Plus is a decent Android tablet that seems fairly and correctly priced. The display is great, the audio sounds good, and the formfactor is easy to handle and carry. It’s perfect for streaming movies and audio, as well as drawing and note-taking if you purchase the optional pen. Its only big and glaring weakness is the anemic GPU; so if you’re into playing heavy graphic games with lots of eye candy, then I wouldn’t recommend the Idea Tab Plus. Otherwise, it’s a good and decent value buy, and earns a solid 3.5 Stars from me.
