An Android tablet with a 12.7-inch 3K display and octa-core MediaTek chip for just €399
Lenovo is known for making some great budget Android tablets. But every once in a while, the company launches a high-end tablet as well. In April 2022, we reviewed the Lenovo Tab 12 Pro, and while we were impressed with its build quality and performance, it was tough to justify its price tag. A year later, Lenovo is announcing a non-Pro version of the Tab 12 that keeps some of the best bits of the original tablet while coming in at a significantly lower price point.
The actual bummer is that you can’t install alternative firmware.
is there anything out there in the $200 range that can take lineageOS? only ones I’ve found were some ancient samsung 3GB models
wait for a few months, second hand pixel devices go on sale with 30-50% discount
Ew. That makes it garbage.
Yes, most definitely! It’s the reason I avoid Android tablets in general. I have a random Android tablet from Lenovo that runs Lollipop and is stock-ish.
Used it for about a year, and now it sits as a paperweight.
I only buy hardware I can install community maintained Android forks on.
It’s nice to see more midrange android tablets being released. Speaking for myself I’ve been looking for a 1080p mid range android tablet and the options were very limited for many years. Most options had either 720p screens or CPU’s so slow that the tablets were frustrating to use.
