11.5-inch entertainment tablet with eight JBL® speakers pumps out deep bass and crisp highs for an elevated listening experience

COMPANY NEWS: Today Lenovo™ introduced the Lenovo Tab Plus, an entertainment tablet that delivers an outstanding sonar experience with Eight JBL speakers with Hi-Fi matrix structure tuned by Dolby Atmos®. Designed for music lovers, the 11.5-inch tablet complements its premium sound with a 2K display for vivid visuals and an adjustable stand for optimal enjoyment from every angle.

“Tablets have evolved to meet the needs of people transitioning between work, study and play, offering a balanced combination of mobility and performance,” said Tony Chen, vice president of Tablets, Intelligent Devices Group, Lenovo. “As the tablet market recovers1, customers can expect increased Lenovo product differentiation through features that address their specific demands. The Lenovo Tab Plus is a prime example of a well-rounded tablet that delivers premium sound for a truly immersive entertainment experience.”

Inspiration in Every Beat

An essential device for music lovers, the Lenovo Tab Plus transforms virtually any location into a personal entertainment sanctuary with 26W of crisp stereo sound. Featuring Eight JBL Hi-Fi speakers, including four matrix tweeters and four force-balanced woofers housed in 4 speaker boxes totalling 22cc, the tablet brings any bedroom or living room to life with deeper, more pronounced bass and clearer treble. In addition, it is tuned by Dolby Atmos and supports high-res audio of 24-bit and 96kHz frequency when using headphones.

To maximise the tablet’s functionality and audio system designed and engineered with JBL, the Lenovo Tab Plus transforms into a Bluetooth® speaker for seamless audio anywhere, streamed from your portable device like a smartphone, and comes with an integrated kickstand for up to 175 degrees of viewing flexibility. For the utmost sonar customisation, it comes with a personalised app volume control that lets you fine-tune audio settings. With the app volume control, the tablet automatically cranks up the volume when your favourite music or podcast app is open, lowers the sound when a browser is chosen, and more.

A Complete Non-Stop Entertainment Experience

The Lenovo Tab Plus delivers a complete entertainment experience, matching its sonar prowess with a 11.5-inch 2K TUV-certified2 display with 90Hz of refresh rate that complements the crisp sounds and heart pumping bass with vibrant images and evocative graphics. A TUV-certified screen undergoes testing to ensure low-blue light and flicker-free for optimal eye comfort. To ensure non-stop entertainment on the go, the tablet is packed with an 8600 mAh battery capable of streaming up to 12 hours3 and 45W fast charging that reaches full power in only 90 minutes3.

Lenovo’s latest entertainment tablet is powered by a MediaTek™ Helio G99 processor, offers up to 256GB of built-in storage4 with an option to expand via MicroSD card (sold separately) and is IP52 water and dust resistant5. It features a built-in Immersive Reading Mode that softens the screen to simulate the colour matrix of a book’s pages and can transform into a digital photo frame or clock via Standby Mode. Standby Mode is automatically activated7 when the Lenovo Tab Plus is not in use and charging in landscape mode with the kickstand.

The Lenovo Tab Plus safeguards users with a privacy dashboard that lets the owner manage permissions, will offer upgrades for 2 years with 4 years of security patches until June 2028, and is available with Lenovo Premium Care6 for personalised technical support and Lenovo Accidental Damage Protection One6 for safety against accidental drops or spills. The tablet is compatible with the Lenovo Tab Pen Plus, the Lenovo 68W USB-C Wall Charger, the Lenovo Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard, and a protective sleeve made with Dupont™ Tyvek® material and PU leather6.
