Design and Build Quality:

The tablet’s slim profile with just 6.9mm thickness

The Lenovo Idea Tab Pro sports a sleek and modern design with a metal unibody construction, giving it a premium feel in hand. The build quality feels solid, and the tablet is available in a stylish Luna Grey color. While it weighs around 620 grams, which is noticeable, the robust build inspires confidence.

Display:

The 12.7-inch LTPS LCD panel boasts a sharp 3K resolution (2944 x 1840) and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate. The color accuracy is decent, covering 96% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. The high refresh rate makes scrolling and animations exceptionally fluid, enhancing the overall user experience, especially for gaming and fast-paced content. However, the maximum brightness of around 400 nits might be a limitation in very bright outdoor conditions or for optimal HDR viewing.

Performance and Software:

Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8300 octa-core processor and up to 12GB of LPDDR5x RAM, the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro offers smooth and responsive performance for a wide range of tasks. The 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage ensures fast data access and application loading times. Running on Android 14 with Lenovo’s ZUI 16, the software experience is generally user-friendly, with added AI features like Google Gemini and Circle to Search enhancing functionality. Lenovo has also committed to two major OS updates and four years of security patches.

Cameras:

The camera setup includes a 13MP autofocus rear camera with a flashlight and an 8MP fixed-focus front-facing camera. While capable of capturing decent photos in good lighting, the image quality tends to be average, with some reviewers noting issues with overexposure and sharpness. The front camera is suitable for video conferencing but shares similar limitations in image quality. These cameras are likely more for occasional use rather than serious photography.

Audio:

The quad JBL speakers tuned with Dolby Atmos deliver impressive audio quality for a tablet. The sound is rich, clear, and provides a good sense of spatial audio, enhancing the experience of watching movies, listening to music, and playing games. The audio performance is definitely a highlight of this tablet.

Lenovo Tab Pen Plus:

The tablet with optional keyboard attachment and included stylus

The included Lenovo Tab Pen Plus is a valuable addition, offering 4,096 pressure levels, tilt detection, and palm rejection. It connects via Bluetooth and offers up to 35 hours of battery life on a single charge. It magnetically attaches to the back of the tablet for convenient storage. The stylus enhances the tablet’s versatility for note-taking, sketching, and precise navigation.

Battery Life and Charging:

The 10200 mAh battery provides excellent battery life, easily lasting through a full day of typical usage. With the included 45W fast charger, the tablet can be quickly recharged, minimizing downtime.
