Lenovo Launches the new Tab P12 Consumer Tablet

Lenovo has introduced an addition to its lineup of consumer tablets powered by Android, the Lenovo Tab P12, made for more versatility and enhanced personal time. The device, combining entertainment, learning tools, and added mobility, is engineered to meet the wide-ranging demands of consumers today, no matter where life takes them.
The Lenovo Tab P12 is the essential back-to-school device for high school and college-age students, with its blend of learning and playtime capabilities. It has a large 12.7-inch 3K display for both video watching and web browsing, a JBL speaker system and Dolby Atmos, which delivers a richer, multidimensional audio experience that brings out more depth, clarity, and details from entertainment.
Its battery life supports extended usage for both learning and fun. The Lenovo Tab P12 stands out for its compatibility with the new Lenovo Tab Pen Plus and ThinkPad-inspired keyboard to facilitate smarter ways to learn. The large display can be split for multitasking—taking notes for an online class or viewing a document, while a specialized reading mode and eye care feature support long, immersive study sessions.
Tablet users’ needs are distinct and continually evolving, based on recent Lenovo research. A substantial majority use their tablets as tools for a combination of web browsing, entertainment, study and productivity – showing that moments of leisure are just as vital as periods of productivity. Most notably, people place paramount importance on battery life.
As hybrid life in the post-pandemic era continues to take hold, consumers are increasingly blending work, learning, entertainment and leisure. To address these changing demands and desires, Lenovo designed the new Lenovo Tab P12 as a premium (P) and mainstream (M) tablet for entertainment, learning, productivity, and better portability for active hybrid lifestyles.
“From seamless transitions between work, study, and play to robust battery life2, Lenovo tablets are helping to redefine the concept of smarter hybrid living,” said Tony Chen, Vice President of Tablets at Lenovo. “Tablet users are expecting more from their tablets than ever, with more than 80 per cent using them for productivity and entertainment. That’s why the new Lenovo Tab P12 is designed as a daily companion built to adapt to the versatile and evolving digital needs of modern tablet users and households.”
As Lenovo’s premier back-to-school tablet, the Lenovo Tab P12 is designed to make the most out of both study and playtime. This versatile device can accommodate multiple users and cater to the needs of students. Play, study, and create—all on one portable tablet. For entertainment purposes, the Lenovo Tab P12’s large 12.7-inch LCD display has a 3K (2944 x1840) resolution that’s ideal for streaming, design work, and light gaming. Its expansive display provides not only a broader view but also high-quality visuals – offering 50 per cent more pixel density than a Full-HD display of the same size.
With more pixel density, the display delivers richer images within the same size, resulting in more intricate detail as well as a comparatively high contrast ratio for more eye-catching colours. The Lenovo Tab P12 incorporates a quad JBL speaker system and Dolby Atmos support for an immersive and multi-dimensional audio experience. With up to 6GB RAM powered by an octa-core processor, this tablet is built for quick and smooth operations. Recognizing that battery life is a key factor for most users, the Lenovo Tab P12 carries a 10,200mAh battery, which allows up to 10 hours of video playback2 – ideal for long breaks.
As for studying that requires precise note-taking, diagram drawing or PDF annotation, the Lenovo Tab P12 comes with a Lenovo Tab Pen Plus, a handy stylus that works in concert with free Nebo and MyScript Calculator 2 apps. To facilitate efficiency, the Lenovo Tab P12 can also function as a wireless drawing pad for one’s Windows PC using Lenovo Freestyle,6 which helps integrate tablet and PC experiences.
Lenovo Tab P12 users can also switch quickly between entertainment to productivity by snapping on its ThinkPad-inspired keyboard for typing. The keyboard features keys with a 1.5mm key travel, gentle 0.2mm concavity, and a 19mm key pitch for a comfortable typing experience. The built-in trackpad and 16 functional shortcuts make it simple to navigate one’s workspace. For next-level multitasking, users can now access four apps in split screen and up to 5 floating windows.
Furthermore, students who read a lot can experience its reading mode with background music and eye care features that offer a comfortable, engaging experience. The ultra-wide 13MP front camera is perfectly designed for online video calling and classes, while its thin and lightweight chassis makes it quick and easy to carry around campus.

Huawei to Celebrate 10 Years of Tablet Innovation with its Biggest Launch Yet

Huawei has teased its soon-to-be-released products, including the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 13.2”, and announced a new global product launch in Dubai in December. This will be the largest tablet Huawei has released to date, and it signals that the company is doubling down on the tablet category. This is exciting news for all tablet enthusiasts, but the evolution of Huawei’s tablets is also quite fascinating.
A decade of excellence in the tablet market
The global tablet market has been shrinking since 2016, as new large-screen smartphones and lightweight laptops have emerged. Huawei has stayed committed to a market many vendors have left, pursuing high-level innovation and development, and launching a wide array of groundbreaking products to bring a breath of fresh air into the market.
This decade of investment and innovation has led to tens of thousands of patents and numerous cutting-edge technologies that bring powerful productivity tools to tablets for the first time, which makes it possible for Huawei to keep leading the way in light productivity.
Creating brand-new productivity tools
The global shipment of Huawei tablets now exceeds 100 million units—proof of Huawei’s continuous investment in this market. Huawei has always understood the relevance of tablets as an entertainment device. That’s why the company equipped its MediaPad M series tablets with high-end audiovisual features, which received widespread positive feedback from users, and helped boost the tablet market.
As the times changed, Huawei recognised the demand for mobile office and productivity tools, and added new features like “App Multiplier” to its MediaPad M6 and “Multi-Screen Collaboration” to its MatePad Pro 10.8”. These features set a new benchmark for productivity on the go. The MatePad Pro 11” also came with innovative apps like PC Application Engine and HUAWEI Notes, which enhanced these capabilities even further.
With the MatePad Pro 12.6”, Huawei brought a design that exudes a unique look and feel, and the MatePad Pro 11” came with a hidden floating antenna that helped improve the signal performance. The display and audio capabilities on Huawei tablets have also seen significant upgrades over the years to provide a whole new level of immersion. All these show Huawei’s consumer-orientated approach to product innovation to provide easy-to-use yet powerful functions.
Breathing new life into a stagnant PC market
Huawei’s PCs are no less impressive than its tablets, offering a rich set of features. Huawei’s PC division has leveraged the company’s experiences in other consumer product domains and the ICT industry to create a unique product lineup.
Huawei has married breathtaking aesthetics with groundbreaking technologies, such as SuperTurbo, HUAWEI Metaline Antenna, minimalist design, smart interactions, and ultimate performance. Unlike traditional PCs, Huawei laptops manage to pack such a broad array of capabilities into portable, streamlined bodies.
Huawei’s success in the tablet and PC markets owes a great deal to the company’s user-centric approach and commitment to excellence across the board—from craftsmanship to technologies to ecosystem construction. This enables Huawei to gradually become a leader in both the tablet and PC industry.
As Huawei celebrates the tenth anniversary of its tablets, the upcoming HUAWEI MatePad Pro 13.2” is a testament to its legacy, featuring many of the innovative technologies that will shape the future of the tablet market.

Review: SONOS Move 2

In the ever-evolving landscape of audio technology, SONOS has consistently been a name synonymous with quality and innovation. The SONOS Move 2, the latest addition to their lineup, aims to redefine the portable speaker experience. Packed with upgraded features and a commitment to delivering a superior sound experience, the Move 2 is a promising sequel to its predecessor.
Design and Build Quality
The first thing that strikes you about the SONOS Move 2 is its design – an embodiment of modern aesthetics and practicality. The sleek, cylindrical form factor exudes a premium feel, with a robust build that instils confidence in its durability. The device is constructed from high-quality materials, combining a rugged plastic exterior with a metal grille covering the speakers.
While it may be a bit bulky to be truly ‘portable’, it’s perfect for shuffling between rooms or taking out into your garden. It’s available in Black, White, and Olive colours – for this review, we received the Olive colour variant.
The SONOS Move 2 retains the signature carry handle from its predecessor, making it easy to transport. The handle is both functional and stylish, adding a touch of sophistication to the overall design. The device maintains its IP56 rating for weather resistance, ensuring it can withstand dust, water splashes, and the occasional drizzle – a feature that enhances its suitability for outdoor use.
Portability
True to its name, the Move 2 is designed for portability. Weighing in at just under 3 kg, it strikes a balance between being lightweight enough for easy transport and heavy enough to communicate a sense of sturdiness. The carry handle, in addition to its aesthetic appeal, provides a secure grip, making it comfortable to carry around.
The Move 2’s built-in rechargeable battery is another key feature contributing to its portability. On paper, the speaker offers a battery life of up to 24 hours. During our real-world tests, we clocked around 20 hours of battery life, which is brilliant. The USB-C charging port ensures a quick and convenient recharge, and the Move 2 also supports wireless charging through the bundled wireless charging base, which is quite convenient.
Connectivity
One of the standout features of SONOS devices is their seamless connectivity, and the Move 2 continues this tradition. It supports both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, providing flexibility for various use cases. When connected to your home Wi-Fi network, the Move 2 integrates seamlessly with the SONOS ecosystem, through the SONOS app, allowing for multi-room audio synchronisation and access to a plethora of streaming services.
Bluetooth functionality, on the other hand, enables a direct connection to your devices, making the Move 2 an excellent companion for outdoor adventures where Wi-Fi may not be available. The transition between these modes is smooth, thanks to SONOS’s user-friendly app, ensuring that you can effortlessly switch between using the Move 2 as a stationary home speaker and a portable device on the go.
Sound Quality
The heart of any audio device lies in its ability to deliver a captivating listening experience, and the SONOS Move 2 does not disappoint. The device features three class-D amplifiers, which have been designed for the unique acoustic architecture of the speaker. A pair of angled tweeters produce a sharp and precise high-frequency response, enhancing stereo separation.
A single mid-woofer guarantees the accurate reproduction of mid-range vocal frequencies and deep bass tones. Overall, the SONOS Move 2 offers crisp highs and deep, resonant lows. Whether you’re playing your favourite upbeat tracks or immersing yourself in a podcast, the clarity and richness of the audio are remarkable.
The automatic Trueplay technology further enhances the listening experience by automatically tuning the sound based on the speaker’s surroundings, ensuring optimal performance in any environment. The Move 2’s stereo sound capabilities add depth to the audio, creating a more immersive experience. Even at higher volumes, the sound remains distortion-free.
Smart Features
Building on the success of its predecessor, the Move 2 incorporates a range of smart features that elevate its usability. The inclusion of voice control through popular virtual assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant enhances the hands-free experience. Whether you’re adjusting the volume, skipping tracks, or checking the weather, the Move 2 responds promptly to your voice commands.
Furthermore, the SONOS app provides a centralised hub for controlling the Move 2 and other SONOS devices in your home. The app’s intuitive interface allows for easy customisation of sound settings, grouping speakers for synchronised playback, and accessing a wide range of streaming services.
Verdict
Overall, the SONOS Move 2 successfully builds upon the strengths of its predecessor, delivering a portable speaker that seamlessly combines style, durability, and exceptional audio quality. Its versatility in connectivity, robust build, and impressive battery life make it a go-to choice for both indoor and outdoor settings.
While the Move 2 comes with a premium price tag, the investment is justified by the premium audio experience it offers. Whether you’re a dedicated audiophile or a casual listener, the SONOS Move 2 stands out as a reliable and feature-rich option in the competitive landscape of portable speakers, reaffirming SONOS’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of audio technology. The SONOS Move 2 thus walks away with the Gadget Voize Editors’ Choice award!
