Lenovo Tab P12 review – A powerful XXL tablet with lots of accessories

Lenovo has treated its mid-range tablet to a good upgrade. Its larger 12.7-inch display (compared to the Lenovo Tab P11 2022 (Gen 2)‘s 11.5-inch one) as well as its higher resolution makes for a great experience for multimedia fans. The family-friendly Tab P12 might be just a bit too big for some children’s hands.

With a maximum display brightness of 435 cd/m², the Lenovo Tab P12 is especially suited for indoor use. Thanks to its quick MediaTek Dimensity 7050, it is even able to complete powerful tasks – plus, its Dolby Atmos speakers are an added bonus. Playing games with high levels of detail also proves to be no problem for the eight-core SoC. However, you can’t achieve frame rates over 60 FPS, as it is limited by the 60-Hz panel. 

The Lenovo Tab P12 combines a 12.7-inch display with a comparatively low price. In addition, the tablet comes with a wide range of accessories including a docking keyboard and a stylus.

A highlight of the Tab P12 is its extensive accessories. With optional stylus input and a docking keyboard, the tablet can quickly be transformed into a productive device. Supporting this are OS features such as window view and split screen.

The Lenovo Tab P12’s runtimes are less impressive. Although the tablet is fitted with a 10,200 mAh battery, the device is pretty power-hungry – leading to mediocre battery life in total. Compared to the Tab P11 2022 (Gen 2), it also no longer features a cellular option. This, unfortunately, also takes its toll on the tablet’s productivity options.

Alternatives to the Tab P12 include the Lenovo Tab P11 2022 (Gen 2), the OnePlus Pad and the Xiaomi Pad 6. The last two not only cost a similar amount, but they also both feature a 120-Hz panel.
