Lenovo tabs are great for the budget conscious buyers except for long term software support but Lenovo has been improving in that department too
According to their roadmap, the P12 will have software support till 2027, I find that acceptable tbh and a nice change compared to most of their other tabs.
@@nonamenameless5495 I've always had ipads. I'm very interested in this tablet. Any idea how these tablets run after software support ends?
Great video as usual. Also, video idea………comparison this Levono Tab P12 vs Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 which does have an OLED display for sale price around $379.
Yeah that's not a bad comparison. You're basically paying $80 for that OLED screen. The duet will have more updates because Chrome OS has more updates. It will have a little more versatility between operating systems, I think the P12 will have a better resolution, and it's going to be a little bit cheaper, and run Android, and running Android by itself without Chrome OS has some perks too. Think it depends on what people are looking at.
I've got a couple plans, a few plans even over the next few weeks. But I'll keep this in mind
I would recommend it, love my Y700, this and the p12 can replace a laptop for sure. Very minimal bugs in ZUI 15. It doesn't have OLED but it is an extremely high end IPS panel at least the y700 is and I never crave a OLED. Lenovo is the only tab maker I know of who has high end haptics on tablets a swell, the y700 is the only tablet I can type on due to the vibrations on Gboard for it.
Great review man I'm excited for the new OnePlus pad its supposed to have the 8 gen 3 I've had on phones 4 years in a row and their performance is always top notch
It will probably end up being a great value tablet
Awesome video this sounds like a great tablet for video watching
Yep. Every device has a place. Depends on what you need
Can you do a review on vivo pad 3 pro? Thanks
This is my daily driver for around the house use and for work. I also own an iPad and honestly I use this more because I love the general flexibility offered by Android.
The pen works decently well, too. It multitasks very well and it has the horsepower to handle most things for daily productivity. I honestly wouldn't game on it, but I don't game on my tablets for the most part.
The build is awesome, it has four glorious sounding speakers, and that screen is GORGEOUS.
Definitely happy with it and feel like I got my money's worth, and that's because I bought it at full price.
Hello from Spain! One question, Is this tablet good for seeing movies or HBO, etc ? thankyou.
@@juangarcia-qe9ww Oh, yes, it actually excels for watching video content. The picture is beautiful and the sound is awesome.
@@PeteOlivaThankyou for you answer, I love android system, over the IOS, I think IOS its more appearance...) I love the good cinema , and the high. resolution of this tablet I think its nice Saludos desde España .
have a question , Can we connect a wireless 3rd party keyboard and mouse combo through a dongle to USB-c connector to the tab . Because i have purchased the keyboard and mouse combo with a dongle ( reciever ) and a USB - type c connector , so does the tab connect to it or Not ??
I think so
Thank you for review! Just thinking buying one for myself!
Did it already get an Android 14? And it should get 15, right?
Do you think there is an issue that last android update it will get will be 15?
Yes. I got Android 14. They are supposed to get two big os updates so 15 is coming
That would be great to have those android updates @@AndroidDigest
Version 15 is out.
I use a Lenovo Yoga tab, and trust me the display is amazing for entertainment specially when I am watching the PL and CL football and some webseries or movies.. I wanted to have even a better screen display as M more of a entertainment user than a productive user.. So this fits my category perfectly specially considering the resolution with the massive screen size... Will upgrade my Lenovo tab to this one.. 😊
Can you write, journal and diary on it well?
Great video!
Thanks! Glad you were able to catch it a few hours before it released!
Here in Australia its $699 and then an extra $149 for the keyboard case AND thats only if you can find them in stock, and sometimes they want to sell you the pen separate for another $129?! We are ripped off big here in Australia by Lenovo and at that price, there are better things you could buy
Is it worth it? I'm confused between this and samsung s9fe. Which would be better for students for notes taking and watching lectures?
FE is better. FE+ is the same size and better. BUT both FE models cost more. And the FE Plus costs like $150 more, maybe $200 more (when on sale). So if you really want a larger tablet, it really is between the FE Plus and the P12 Plus. The P12 Plus is a better value. The FE Plus is faster. And a little better overall
Good video as usual.
Glad you enjoyed it
pls help me to decide:- should I go for p12 or redmi pad pro for university student note taking.
I just bought Lenovo P12 for university as well and im loving it! The battery is great, the screen is a bit bigger than the Redmi Pad Pro and Lenovo comes with the pen so its a plus for me. However, check comparison videos so you can make your decision more wisely :) hope this helps!
Can you actually stream content at 1440p? I've noticed Lenovo states "1080p streaming quality" which is quite confusing for a tablet with a 3k LCD screen.
On youtube you can stream at both 1440p and 2160p
@@syedbakhtawarbilal9498 Thanks for confirming :)
Lenovo tablets are good values but the dealbreakers for me are the expensive accessories... The keyboard case itself I feel is not worth getting if we buy it separately. And bundle deals aren't always available for international customers 😕
I see it differently in the US. Not only are their bundles... But Samsung charges over $100 for every accessory, their book cover keyboard is always around $200 vs $100 for Lenovo's. Compared to Samsung it seems decent. But I get international markets can be different
Between this and samsung s9 you think is a better option? I know s9 is 11 and this lenovo is 12.7 much more bigger but s9 has oled panel and snapdragon and the s9 right now is on sale and is 150 more than lenovo, but i dont know which one choose? Thanks
The S9 is significantly faster, by a large margin. And the screen is better with amoled. The only plus to getting the P12 is the size. I'd argue the S9 FE Plus is a better option if you want something larger, but even then the S9 will be better overall, than the S9 FE Plus.
If we are talking best tablet overall:
Tab S9, S9 Ultra, S9 Plus (best, but depends on what size you prefer, and price)
Tab S8 Ultra
Tab S9 FE Plus/Tab S9 FE
Tab P12
Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2024
Tab A9+
Tab M11
Now just because I have a list as far as what's best, remember that you often pay for screen size. Even then, the S9 FE Plus and S8 Ultra are both better.
The P12 is for someone who really wants that screen size but they want to pay less than $300. The S9 FE Plus, S8 Ultra, and S9 Ultra, S9 Plus, all of those will cost over $300, normally $450 or higher.
But if you have the money, I'd buy the S9 or one of these other tablets, the P12 is great, but for those who again need that screen size at a cheaper price. And you compromise performance when you do that.
Major Weak points - charging time, processor.Better to wait for 14 inch + sized tablets to be released next year!
Would you recommend the Chinese version that comes with stronger components?
It's in Chinese only.
@@thomasgood3472 It is available in English and is available in the Ali Express store and its price is $180
I would absolutely recommend the Xiaoxin Pad 12.7 over this P12 especially considering the fact that you can get it for $200 USD on sale and even less than that with Aliexpress coupons/Coins. The 144hz screen feels great and once you get google playstore up and running, the experience is really flawless. I've noticed that reviews of the p12 show it suffering from serious micro stuttering which is miles less apparent on the Xiaoxin. No regrets here, the quality is great for the price.
@@circle5655 6GB of RAM only.
I was thinking on getting one in 2-3 days yh... can u tell me is it good for long term use aswell as are they okay for gaming? I think they are way to big to hold for gaming...... i got my first lenovo tab 5 years ago it needed a upgrade thinking on getting this one 2gb ram to 8gb :) pls reply ty!
Edit: the only downside of the lenovo tab p12 is the 60hz display and non 5g/sim... the m10 5g not available in my country As well as p11 5g..
Can you recommend a good lenovo tablet like a long term use one with atleast 6 to 8gb ram.
I bought samsung galaxy A9+ 5g 8gb ram 128gb storage but returned it after 10 days because it was over heating way too much idk why
Which is better lenovo tab p12 or p11 pro (not gen 2) they are avaliable on amazon for p12 128gb storage 8gb ram with stylus for 1600 saudi riyal and p11 pro with 6gb ram 128gb storage keyboard case plus stylus for 1900 saudi riyal
The display is better on the P11 Pro. The processor is slightly faster. Not by a lot. But it's running Android 10. Maybe Android 11. The software is very outdated with no more updates coming. In the US you can find the P11 Pro Gen 2 for a good price. Id recommend getting that or the P12. The P12 is still faster than the A9+ even though it's about the same speed. It might not feel faster due to the refresh rate. But it will have a better screen, be faster, a larger screen, and a larger battery. I'd consider trying it out. That's my opinion. Software is important and security updates are. And the P11 Pro is way out of date
@AndroidDigest ty you changed my opinion I was thinking on leaving p12 due to super large screen (pretty much hard to play games.)
@AndroidDigest I would like to ask you one last thing (sorry for bothering 😐)
You probably know a lot of people are saying get xiaomi pad 6 (the Chinese tablet). Its specs are pretty good, like the 144hz screen and Snapdragon 870 gen chipset, etc. It also has some problems like no SD card slot or sim slot as well as really ugly UI (user interface). I am also assuming it's not gonna be a long-term lasting tablet due to a Chinese tablet and not my type as well because I am a lenovo tab user.
I was also assuming to get Honor pad 9 due to the 120hz screen, 8 quad speakers, and 8 extra virtual ram. And the keyboard included as well. But again, there is no SD/sim slot.
The last option i got is Huawei matepad 11.5 (non paper matepad), no SD/sim card again, but with an extra keyboard, but once again, Chinese...
You already know the lenovo tab, p12....
I would really appreciate it if you would suggest one... (Also, I didn't include oneplus pad go because a lot of people are saying it have overheating problem and idk about S9 fe)
Thanks Alot!
Ok hit me with the truth. P12 or s9 fe+. Ive never bought a tablet. Which ahould i get come prime day..
Well S9 FE + is better. Better all around . But EVEN on sale it's around $450 or $500. The P12 is on sale now for $300 with a keyboard. It's not better but it's a better value. But I'd get what you will enjoy and just wait for the right sale
@@AndroidDigest Thanks man! I'll wait another 5 days and see what happens. Im slightly concerned that p12 only gets 2 android updates being as it comes with 13 and 14 is already available. Essentially robbing buyers of 1 (50% of total) update.
Samsung all the way dude! The samsung software goodies included on One UI and guaranteed updates make up for the difference, no doubt. You won't regret it. Dig a little bit yourself, you'll be blown out of the water
For a 12 inch tablet it is a tough sell not being able to have a full browser with extension capability. If it ran ChromeOS this would be stellar.
For those comparing this to the Samsung S9 FE+ it really ones down to if you are going to be using Dex. Even dex mode on the tablet itself it worth it if you will use that. Having said as much still not as capable as ChromeOS as far as extensions go.
For the price I still think the Lenovo is a bargain as the title says, but what you can find on the used market it is questionable. That is always the case however and I understand there are some people that will never buy used it be capable of adequate hunting to find those extraordinary deals.
Ended up getting the fe+ for under $400 today prime day deal
I like to watch a lot of football games. How well will it work for sports viewing?😊
Personally I think it would be great for that. Great screen and speakers. A large screen too. Not amoled. But it's close and looks good
This Lenovo tab is for any simple person that knows what they want or need.
It's an amazing tablet all the way, in my head I see it as a good competition to the Samsung tab S9/S9+.
I think it is better to invest money on IPad Air older version instead of these devices which are not software supported and dies after 2 years.
I get your perspective. I think it's a massive difference in price and screen size. Not everyone has that money. I personally don't think it will die in two years. But I get the perspective
Its good for price
Will there be a pro version?
Oddly enough the Pro version of the P12 was released in 2021. Lenovo kept releasing devices like the P11. Then the P11 Pro. Then Gen 2. And they kept the P11 name. To my understanding this is a late addition to the game. But released about a year ago. I wouldn't recommend the Pro version since it's older and the updates aren't going to be coming
NITS?
400 nits. A little dim but not terrible
Is the battery life really good? I saw other reviewers mostly said the SOT barely reaches 5hrs😢
It's a pretty monstrous battery. I would definitely say you should get more than 5 hours. I was getting closer to seven or eight hours depending on what I was doing
Ordered the 12.7 China version with 144hz Display for 199$
So overpriced in the US..
Well yeah. China typically has cheaper prices on tech
Parece un tap s9 se samsung, yo la tengo y es genial
Yeah it's pretty good overall
no thanks coz cellular connectivity & lcd screen?
Lenovo makes great products. Better value than Samsung.
Por que se traba tanto😮😮😮
The translation here says that the tablet is getting stuck, are you saying that it's freezing sometimes? I know it is a little bit slower than the tab s9
No screen is not better than s9fe plus
It's extremely close. It is a better resolution. I'd say the quality is subjective
I'd trust this review if you got rid of the Cardinals hat.
Lol I was a Red Sox fan most of my life. But I live close enough to STL that I realized I had to switch. I'm not a lifelong fan. I'm just trying to be a better Missouri guy
@@AndroidDigest all good I live in Chicago so I'm a Cubs fan
