Lenovo’s latest tablet – simply called the Tab Plus – is squarely focused on entertainment, with a feature set that delivers immersive audio. How? Well, it houses eight JBL speakers, which can output 26W of sound.
Inside you’ll find four matrix tweeters, which produce high-frequency audio alongside four power-balanced woofers. Combined with Dolby Atmos technology, this setup can really take the sound to the next level
Even more interesting is that the Tab Plus can function as a wireless Bluetooth speaker. According to the announcement, you can connect your smartphone to the tablet and stream music directly. Users can then place it on the stand so it can serve as the centerpiece of an immersive sound bubble.
To fine-tune your listening experience, the tablet “comes with a personalized app” that lets you adjust the audio settings. For example, it can automatically turn up the volume when your favorite artist is playing, or turn it down when a browser is opened.
Headphone users aren’t left behind, as the Tab Plus also supports hi-res 24-bit/96kHz audio streams.
Notable features
There’s more to the Lenovo device than just the high-end speaker system. It has an 11.5-inch 2K display with a 90Hz refresh rate. The screen is also TUV certified, meaning it limits the amount of blue light emitted to reduce eye strain.
Under the hood, the machine packs a MediaTek Helio G99 processor, 256GB of storage and an 8600mAh battery. The Tab Plus can stream content for up to 12 hours on a single charge, although actual battery life may vary.
It all depends on how you use the hardware. Additionally, Lenovo’s device supports 45W fast charging, which can fully charge the battery in about 90 minutes.
Other notable features include Immersive Reading Mode, which softens the screen while reading an e-book, and a MicroSD card slot, for expanding storage.
Because of all the hardware, the company has made the tablet a bit large to ensure everything fits inside. It measures 0.53 inches (13.58mm) at the bump, aka the thickest part of the Tab Plus. Fortunately, the model is not heavy: only 650 grams.
Lenovo’s Tab Plus is currently on sale in European markets £240/€279. The announcement states that the tablet is also available in the United States, but that is not true. A company representative told us that their model will launch in North America around October for $289.99.
