Tablets aren’t identified for his or her room-shaking bass, however Lenovo’s new 11.5-inch Tab Plus goes all in. It options 26W of sound produced by 4 tweeters and 4 woofers break up throughout either side of the tablet (when utilized in panorama mode). To totally benefit from the Tab Plus’ sound capabilities, Lenovo has included the choice to wirelessly join different units to the tablet and use it as a Bluetooth speaker.
Powered by a MediaTek Helio G99 octa-core processor paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage that’s expandable with a microSD card, the Tab Plus positively isn’t a powerhouse productiveness device. Lenovo is positioning it as a media consumption system at the start, which is additional mirrored in a entrance and rear digicam that each solely muster 8MP. The tablet ships with Android 14, and Lenovo is promising two years of OS upgrades and 4 years of safety patches.

An built-in pop-out kickstand on the again makes it simpler to make use of the tablet as a Bluetooth speaker, however for these preferring to hear privately, a 3.5-millimeter headphone jack remains to be included that helps 24-bit 96kHz high-res audio with Dolby Atmos tuning.
One huge tradeoff of these 4 built-in woofers is a really noticeable bulge on the again of the new Tab Plus that pushes the thickness of the 7.77mm tablet to a chonky 13.58mm. Remember, Apple has managed to slim the new 13-inch iPad Pro down to only 5.1mm, other than its digicam bump.
Although Lenovo hasn’t specified the place the new 11.5-inch Tab Plus is out there beginning at this time other than “select global markets,” its $289.99 price ticket may make it a tempting resolution for these uninterested in lugging round a tablet and a separate wi-fi speaker to bolster its sound.
