Lenovo seems to be on the verge of expanding its tablet offerings with the Lenovo Tab Plus, an Android tablet poised to cater to media enthusiasts on a global scale. Originating from a leak in February that gave us a glimpse of its design, the Tab Plus has gathered more confirmation through its appearance in various certification databases, including the Google Play Console.
The likeness between the Lenovo Tab Plus and the recently launched Xiaoxin Pad Studio in China is remarkable, not only in design but also in technical specifications. This resemblance has fueled speculation that the Lenovo Tab Plus could be a repurposed version of the Xiaoxin Pad Studio intended for international consumers.
Details from the Google Play Console reveal that the Lenovo Tab Plus bears the model number TB351FU and boasts internals like the MediaTek MT8781V processor. This processor is a pseudonym for the MediaTek Helio G99, which is also housed in the Xiaoxin Pad Studio—a detail further corroborated by the Energy Star certification highlighting the same chipset.
A noteworthy specification from the Google Play Console listing is the display resolution of the Lenovo Tab Plus, clocking in at 2000×1200 pixels. This specification directly aligns with the Xiaoxin Pad Studio’s display resolution. The frontal image of the tablet on the certification website adds to the evidence that this is likely a rebranded version tailored for the international market.
Despite the anticipation, the Lenovo Tab Plus pricing remains under wraps. In contrast, its Chinese counterpart, the Xiaoxin Pad Studio, launched at a price point equivalent to about $180. When considering the pricing trends in the international market for similar Android tablets, such as the Galaxy Tab A9 which runs around the $200 range, we can presume that the Lenovo Tab Plus will have a competitive price.
The excitement around this leak is palpable among tech enthusiasts and consumers looking for a new media tablet. It adds to the anticipation for an official announcement regarding the international launch of the Lenovo Tab Plus, which could potentially fill the gap for an affordably priced, yet robust media tablet option for users worldwide.
