Lenovo tab p12 pro

The Lenovo Tab P12 Pro is good, but it’s not great – especially in the cut-throat Android tablet market. This fairly powerful tablet has a high-res screen and a stylus, which comes in handy for certain tasks; but it misses out on a few killer features that it could really use, both on the software and hardware fronts.

A full-sized snap-on keyboard with a touchpad can be paired with the slate, giving you a complete typing and writing experience. Each key has 1.3mm of key travel, making it more clicky than the standard attachable keyboards you get with 2-in-1s. It even includes a built-in trackpad, making it possible to get a good amount of work done. You can also use it with the Lenovo Precision Pen 3, so you can write, draw, and take notes on the lower-latency screen. The pen attaches magnetically to the slate and charges wirelessly.

Continuing its Android tablet lineup, Lenovo is today introducing a new “flagship” model. The Lenovo Tab P12 Pro brings upgraded specs, another big display, and a neat new software trick, too. The Lenovo Tab P12 Pro has a 12.6-inch OLED display at 2560×1600. Lenovo says the tablet boasts an 89% screen-to-body ratio and has a 120Hz refresh rate. The tablet also has four speakers tuned by JBL, an 8MP camera for video calls and face unlock, as well as a 13MP + 5MP ultrawide pair for the rear. A fingerprint sensor is also built into the power button. Under the hood, the P12 Pro has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor that’s paired with either 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage or 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. There’s also a microSD slot for expansion, but no headphone jack to supplement the singular USB-C port. There are POGO pins for the optional keyboard accessory, though. Lenovo includes its “Precision Pen 3” in the box with the P12 Pro (on certain models), and notably, the stylus charges through the tablet using NFC. That power comes from the 10,200 mAh battery that can charge at up to 45W over USB-C. • • • As for Android, the tablet is running Android 11 out of the box and is guaranteed at least one major software update, presumably to Android 12.

Google’s efforts to let Android better serve bigger screens is culminating in Android 12L, but the What does the Lenovo P12 Pro offer? The Lenovo P12 Pro is, as mentioned above, the one and only tablet currently supported for the Android 12L developer previews and beta program. And really, I think Lenovo pretty much nailed it. The hardware here feels premium, and the size is a decent compromise between a massive screen and feeling too big, as I often feel with tablets over 11-inches. The Lenovo P12 Pro has great speakers, a good accessory lineup, and the performance on its stock Android 11 build was more than acceptable in my time testing it out. • • Note: Lenovo says its stylus doesn’t work on 12L, and the keyboard is limited too But the point of attraction for the P12 Pro right now is that it supports Android 12L. Does Android 12L improve the experience at all? The real question with Android 12L at this point is if it’s going to manage to improve the experience at all. As it stands today, stock Android is not very well suited to big screens, but changes in 12L are meant to address that. In this very early state, it’s hard to see how much of a difference Android 12L will make on a tablet like the Lenovo P12 Pro. These early builds are fully stock, and frankly aren’t well optimized for the hardware.
