This previously popular tablet is back on sale and while it's not an all time low it's getting harder to find this tablet less than US$250. This is easily one of my favourite tablets if you want something more high end for gaming/media, as it has the fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 CPU, a large 12.7" display with 144Hz refresh rate, plenty of RAM/storage and Widevine L1 DRM for Netflix HD.

Featuring ZUI 15 (Android 14), 12.7" 2944x1840 LCD display with 400nits brightness, HDR10 & Dolby Vision, 128GB UFS 3.1 storage with microSD support, 8GB LPDDR5 RAM, 10200mAh battery with 20W fast charging, 4 JBL Speakers with Dolby Atmos, 2 inbuilt mics, 13MP rear camera, 8MP front camera, fingerprint reader, WiFi 6 ax, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, USB-C video out w/ 4K@60Hz and pogo pins for keyboard.

You must enable Google Play Services in Settings before you can use Google Play.

  • Add "Bundle: 8G 128G" and "Color: Grey Standard" to the cart
  • Apply the coupon OZAF30 or AUFF30 at checkout

Alternatively you can get the 8GB/256GB variant for US$227.33 with the coupon 200Z25B8 or 200Z25B10

AU$ based on current Mastercard rate and GST inclusive. Unfortunately this tablet is not eligible for cashback.

For those paying in USD this is how you get the correct exchange rate in PayPal:

Setting overseas websites to AUD or letting PayPal do the currency conversion results in an inflated rate. To get the correct rate you need a card without international fees and do the following:

  • Set the website currency to USD
  • Checkout with PayPal
  • Select your card with no international fees
  • Click "See currency options"
  • Select USD to bill the card in USD instead of AUD
  • Proceed with checkout

Now you'll get the correct MasterCard or VISA exchange rate depending on the card.

        4k YouTube video crashes frequently on mine, lower res is fine. Remote desktop frequently quits itself also. Dont have anything else installed or use it all that much though.

      • philotex on 14/09/2024 - 15:00

        It's a great tablet, however two caveats:
        1. You'll need to change the system font to fix the weird spaced apostrophe thing.
        2. Ziui for some stupid reason doesn't allow multiple users accounts. This was a bummer for me as it was part of my use case.

        • dontpanic on 14/09/2024 - 15:09
          +1

          These are my only two caveats too. Lack of multiple users was a bit of a disappointment - I hadn't read anything about that prior to purchase, and local Lenovo products allow it, so it was a bit unexpected.

          The only other thing is 12.7" can be a bit large for some people, especially for one handed use.

          Other than that, it's an excellent tablet and fantastic value for money.

          • SurprisedPanda on 14/09/2024 - 17:23

            @dontpanic: yeah, this diagonal would be better as a 4:3 rather than 16:9, other than that (and a few menus still in chinese) I am pretty happy with it so far

    Can anyone comment on which pens work with these?

    • vinsontan on 14/09/2024 - 12:46

      It might work with the xiaoxin pen for the previous model. The pen is not cheap.

      • indojo24 on 14/09/2024 - 12:51
        +1

        Good thing is the 2025 version uses AP500U, which costs half (~45 AUD) of the pen for the 2023 version and prior.

    • Nickbag on 14/09/2024 - 13:39

      Only pen that works with this is precision pen 3 and it costs around $80-100.

    • bobbi084 on 14/09/2024 - 16:57

      As far as I can tell, the BTP-131 is compatible. It has various names depending on where it's being sold ("Xiaoxin Pen 2" in China, "Precision Pen 3" in the US, possibly other names elsewhere, I'm not sure), but all the same model number.

      Like the tablet, the pen seems to be cheapest from AliExpress. This listing is currently US$47.36, and has plenty of customer reviews with photos showing the model number (BTP-131) on the packaging.

    • npc on 14/09/2024 - 12:34

      You need chinese rom and then sideload google app store when your tablet arrives. Other roms were not recommended based on my research.

    Is this good for note taking?

  • indojo24 on 14/09/2024 - 12:49

    Unless you want the stronger CPU, go for this one instead of the 2025 version. Screen specs and battery life are pretty much the same.

    The one annoying issue I have with these Lenovo tablets is that most apps will be "force stopped" if you close them via multi-tasking, which means you don't get push notifications anymore and features like Google Assistant stop working unless you set them up again.

    • Clear on 14/09/2024 - 12:55

      Yup the 2025 version is basically a CPU upgrade. There is a variant with a matte screen however.

      • indojo24 on 14/09/2024 - 13:01

        I have the 2025 version w/ matte screen and it feels very smooth and is easy to look at, also works really great w/ the pen. One downside is the grainy feeling that the screen gives off during video playback.

        Not sure if the matte screen is worth the extra 40 AUD or so when you can get a matte screen protector for less than half of that.

    • neonlight on 17/09/2024 - 17:35

      How does this tablet hold up on gaming? Would it run kids games find or heavier titles?

      • indojo24 on 17/09/2024 - 18:28

        I think the SD 870 chip on the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2023 should handle most native Android games just fine, as long as the kid doesn't play 3D intensive games like Genshin Impact on the highest settings, lol. You only have issues when it comes to emulation, especially on heavier titles and consoles like PS2 and Switch.

        For comparison the SD 870 is slightly stronger than the SD 865, which was the chip used in Samsung's Galaxy S20 and Note 20 lineup. So, this is by all accounts still an impressive chip for most basic uses.

        • neonlight on 17/09/2024 - 20:25

          +1

          No price tracker, I was already interested in buying that particular tablet at the time, so I simply went looking at listings once the Choice sale started on Aug 1st.

          IIRC, I had added it to my cart using the SuperDeals section on the front page of AliExpress, where it was around US$225 for the 256GB (128GB was around US$200).

          I was nearly ready to buy it, but other stuff came up, so I left it for a few hours. When I came back, the 256GB had dropped to the same price as the 128GB while sitting in my cart. I instantly bought it haha.

          It's possible it was a price error, but they honoured it and shipped it pretty quickly, so idk.

      The first few lines of the description and this screenshot are a major red flag. Unlocked bootloader with a fake global ROM is not going to end well. You'll have a buggy/unresponsive ROM, no OTA updates, no Netflix HD and some apps (i.e. banking) will hissy fit about the unlocked bootloader (security issue, easy to load malware).

    From person experience If anything goes wrong on these devices after the protection period ends Aliexpress are not helpful.

    • bobbi084 on 15/09/2024 - 14:28
      +1

      I mean, that's basically how it is for anything from AliExpress. When buying, you assume no warranty, unless it's DOA. If you need warranty, stick to Aussie retailers.

      However, it's worth noting that to buy a tablet locally that is of a similar calibre specs wise, you're easily looking at 2-3x the cost. Even if this Lenovo died outside Ali's protection period, you could buy another one, and still come out ahead. And that's if it dies. Bathtub curve usually applies pretty heavily when it comes to most electronics in my experience.

      • Iluvfreebies on 15/09/2024 - 14:50

          Data & files are lost no matter where a device is purchased from, the price vs risk is a personal decision, as it always has been. As you mentioned prior, all protection is only for a "period" of time with no one covering "data/files", where someone decides to purchase from & for what reason, has always been up to the purchaser.
