Lenovo Tab Plus Gen 2 gets a big price cut shortly after launch
The Lenovo Tab Plus Gen 2 has already become a much more tempting option for shoppers looking for an affordable Android tablet with a premium entertainment focus. Despite being a recent release, the mid-range tablet is currently available with a 31% discount, cutting its price by about $123 and bringing it down to just under $276 from its usual price of around $400.
To get the reduced price, buyers may need to apply the coupon code EXTRASAVEAFF at checkout. As with most limited-time tablet deals, pricing and availability can change quickly depending on stock and retailer adjustments.
The Lenovo Tab Plus Gen 2 is designed for users who want more than a basic browsing tablet. Its biggest selling point is the combination of a large, sharp display and a powerful speaker system, making it a strong choice for streaming movies, watching YouTube, listening to music, casual gaming, video calls, and everyday productivity.
Lenovo has upgraded the screen compared with the previous generation. The Tab Plus Gen 2 features a 12.1-inch IPS display with a 2560 x 1600 resolution, delivering a crisp 2.5K viewing experience. The panel also supports a 120 Hz refresh rate, which should make scrolling, animations, and supported games feel smoother. With brightness rated up to 800 nits, the display should also be easier to view in brighter environments than many budget tablets.
Performance is handled by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, paired with 8 GB of RAM. While this is not a flagship-level processor, it should be more than capable for common tablet tasks such as web browsing, media streaming, note-taking, email, light multitasking, and casual games.
Storage is another practical highlight. The Lenovo Tab Plus Gen 2 comes with 128 GB of UFS 3.1 storage, which should offer faster app loading and file access than older storage standards. For users who keep large media libraries, downloaded shows, documents, or games, Lenovo also includes a microSD card slot with support for expansion up to 2 TB. That is becoming increasingly rare on modern tablets and gives this model an advantage for buyers who value expandable storage.
The standout feature, however, is the audio system. Lenovo has equipped the Tab Plus Gen 2 with a JBL-branded speaker setup that includes four tweeters, three woofers, and two passive radiators. The tablet also supports Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res audio, giving it a clear entertainment-first identity. Lenovo is positioning the device not only as a tablet but also as a portable Bluetooth speaker, which could make it especially appealing for users who frequently listen to music, podcasts, or movies without headphones.
The tablet also includes a 360-degree kickstand, making it easier to prop up on a desk, kitchen counter, or bedside table. This should be useful for watching videos, following recipes, joining video calls, or using the tablet as a smart display-style device.
Battery life is another strong point on paper. The Lenovo Tab Plus Gen 2 packs a 10,200 mAh battery, with Lenovo claiming up to 15 hours of use. It also supports 45-watt fast charging, which should help reduce downtime when the battery runs low.
Other specifications include a 13 MP rear camera, an 8 MP front-facing camera, USB Type-C 2.0 connectivity, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.4. These features round out the tablet as a well-equipped entertainment and everyday-use device.
There is one important downside to consider: weight. At more than 770 grams, the Lenovo Tab Plus Gen 2 is heavier than many competing tablets. That may not matter much if it is mostly used on a desk, table, or with the built-in kickstand, but users who want a lightweight tablet for long handheld reading sessions may find it less comfortable.
Overall, the Lenovo Tab Plus Gen 2 looks like a compelling option for buyers who prioritize display quality, loud speakers, expandable storage, and long battery life over ultra-light portability. With its current discount dropping the price to under $276, it becomes an especially attractive Android tablet deal for entertainment-focused users.
