As of 2022, many people have the image of the "iPad" series.In fact, there are few tablets equipped with Android OS and Windows OS, and some people find that smartphones are Android, but tablets use iPads.
This is because Google, which develops Android, has recently developed many products called "Chromebook" equipped with Chrome OS.In addition, pure tablets are becoming narrower because of the Windows PC that has a touch panel or a type that separates the display and keyboard, which is called “2in1”.
Meanwhile, "Lenovo Tab P12 Pro" was newly released by Lenovo.It is a high -end Android tablet, which is equipped with an Android OS and uses a high -performance chipset.
I think the advantage of tablets is mainly a larger screen than a smartphone, and two points that are more mobility than laptops.The Lenovo Tab P12 Pro is a one that can be used in various scenes, regardless of business or private use, by putting high -performance chipsets.
In this article, we have tried the actual Lenovo Tab P12 Pro, so we will deliver a review, including detailed usability.
Body design/accessories
The body size is about 285.6x184.5x5.It is 6mm, the size of the mobile notebook PC is the same size, but only 5.The 6mm thin design is attractive."IPad Pro (12) with similar sizes (12).3 inch model) in thickness 6.The thickness of 4mm, 2in1 PC "Surface Pro 8" equipped with 13 -inch display is 9.The 3mm shows that the thinness of the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro stands out.
The main constitution is about 565g, which is also light enough considering the size.However, the back cover to be attached to stand independently of the main unit is about 152g, and the separate keyboard is about 288g, so the total is about 1005g.Even if all are installed, it seems to be the same mass as a mobile notebook PC that features lightweight.
If you use this product when commuting to a train, you need to hold only about 565g of the body without using a back cover or keyboard.Because it is a relatively large tablet, it is difficult to operate with one hand, but it is comfortable to watch videos while sitting in the seat and read e -books.
The body color is only "Storm Gray".The two -tone color is slightly different on the upper and lower back of the back, but the color of the calm impression and the smooth texture that makes it difficult for fingerprints to adhere, and it is a high -end product from the appearance.You can ask.
At the time of purchase, in addition to the back cover and keyboard mentioned above, "Lenovo Precision Pen 3" is included.As a tablet, there are many models sold separately for keyboards and touch pens, but it is a nice point to have a set without additional charges.The touch pen and keyboards are automatically paired just by connecting to the tablet, so I was able to start using it immediately.
The display and keyboard fit perfectly with a magnet.
The keyboard features a relatively deep key stroke as a cover -type product.Since the array is also a general Japanese sequence, it can be used with almost the same feeling as operating a PC.
The back cover has a spinning spinning for a touch pen so that it can be protected from above even when a Lenovo pryjeon pen is attached to the back of the tablet with a magnet.Therefore, if you place the tablet on the desk with the back cover attached, it will be slightly diagonal.
I was glad that the backpen was completely flat and the touch pen could be attached to the side of the tablet, because the thickness of the swelling increased slightly, but the camera lens did not come into contact with the desk.There is also the advantage of increasing the visibility when you look into it from the front thanks to the slightly slope.The feature is that the touch pen is hard to be missing.
The display size is 12.It is 6 inches, a quite large screen for a tablet.The resolution is 2K (2560 x 1600), and you can enjoy vivid and detailed screen display, such as supporting HDR +.
Compared to smartphones, tablets should be used for entertainment, such as watching videos and app games, so the excellent display performance is one of the factors that focus on entertainment content.The point is the point.
Also, one of the most notable points is that it supports a 120Hz refresh rate.The refresh rate is a number that indicates the number of times the screen is rewritten in one second, and the larger the number, the more smooth screen display.
120Hz is a high level that is often mounted on high -end smartphones in recent years, and is an element that cannot be ignored for frequently playing app games.In addition, a tablet that is larger than a smartphone has a more noticeable difference in refresh rate, so you can experience the smoothness firmly.
The audio performance is equipped with four JBL speakers compatible with Dolby Atmos.When the body is held sideways, it is equipped with two on the left and right, so you can enjoy a more realistic sound when watching a video.There is a faintly blurred impression, but the overall sound pressure is strong, and it will be a satisfying level for many people.
In addition, when the main unit is turned sideways, two microphones are installed at the top.The user's voice is located in a position where it is easy to collect sound, so even if you use it for online conferences, you can use it without earphones.
One of the reasons why we strongly recommend this product is high performance, while there are few Android tablet products.The chip set is Snapdragon 870, the memory is 8GB and the storage is 256GB.It has a high -spec configuration without complaints.
The movement performance introduced earlier is also quite comfortable.There are no scenes that can be stuck by starting the app or the web browsing, and the app game works comfortably.
As introduced many times, this product is an Android tablet, so the app can be installed from the Google Play store, and the operation is almost the same as the Android smartphone.Users who are used to Android smartphones can be used almost without hesitation, as they can easily synchronize data through Google accounts.
A little unfortunate that LINE cannot share a LINE account registered on the Android smartphone, so it is necessary to create a new account or transfer data.Rather than product problems, it is a problem in LINE specifications, but I would like to look forward to the update, such as the PC version LINE can be used on the Android tablet.
The battery capacity is 10,000 mAh and the continuous use time is about 14 hours.Unless you use the game for a long time, such as playing the game for a long time, I felt there was room to use it for a day.Biological authentication corresponds to both face authentication and fingerprint authentication with a built -in power button.
When it comes to high -performance tablets, fever is a concern, but even if you start the app game for a long time, it will be a little warm and there is no problem in use.
Since this product is equipped with an Android OS, it usually uses one application on one screen or "multi -window function" to divide the two apps by dividing the screen, but the "Productivity Mode" is displayed.When you turn it on, the booted application is displayed as a window and can be used like a PC.It was unique to high -end products that work comfortably even when multiple apps were launched.

Because it is an Android OS, the screenshot can be shot by pressing the power button and the button to lower the volume at the same time, but it is also very difficult to press with a large body size tablet.
When I started using it, I was dissatisfied here, but after I realized that I could shoot screenshots in the range specification by using the keyboard keyboard mounted on the keyboard, it was comfortable itself.
High -end Android tablet without complaints!Expectations are increasing for "Android 12L"
Because of the fact that I tried a high -end Android tablet for the first time in a long time, I felt the comfort of a large -screen tablet that can be used with almost the same operation as Android smartphones, and the power of videos and e -books on the large screen.
LINE cannot cooperate and is not supported by LTE communication, so it is recommended to use smartphones that are compact and easy to carry as a contact tool, and enjoy videos and games with this product.If you want to perform tablet data communication outdoors, it is not a big problem if you make good use of the tethering function.
There is a SIM slot, but only the SD card can be inserted.
In addition, the initial installation OS is Android 11, but the "Android 12L" for large -screen Android devices such as tablets and Fol double smartphones is being developed, so it is expected to update.With almost the same operability with Android smartphones, if you customize it to make the large screen operation more comfortable, you can expect more productivity/operability.
With the advent of Android 12L, it is possible that the launch of corresponding tablet products will increase, as the number of Folu -double smartphones will increase in the future.In fact, on February 1, 2022, NEC announced a new product on the Android tablet.
Lenovo Tab P12 PRO is a high -performance Android tablet, a very satisfying product, including accessories such as housing design, operability, keyboard and touch pen, and foreseeing the revitalization of the Android tablet market in the future.It is one to give.
