Lenovo Idea Tab Pro Matte Edition: Full Review & Why It's the Best Value Tablet Right Now

This video reviews the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro Matte Edition, a device that is clearly recommended and considered the best tablet under ₹30,000 if you overlook a couple of minor negatives. Its compelling price point of just ₹30,500 includes the crucial Pen Plus accessory, offering exceptional value compared to alternatives like the Xiaomi Pad 7 (which approaches ₹38,000 when purchased with its pen).

The Game-Changing Matte Display The primary strength of this tablet is its matte display finish. It features a large 12.7-inch, 3K resolution LCD panel with a smooth 144 Hz refresh rate. The advanced anti-glare technology provides an unmatched viewing experience, making the display feel bright because reflections and light are completely eliminated. Viewing content on streaming apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime will be an excellent experience. Due to the unique display, it is highly recommended not to use tempered glass as it will negate the anti-glare effect.

Performance and Specifications The Idea Tab Pro Matte Edition is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8300 processor. The processor is notably powerful, especially compared to the Samsung S9 FE and FE Plus models. It ensures smooth performance during scrolling, opening and closing apps, and even handles gaming without issue.

Key specifications include:
• Storage: 256 GB UFS 4.0.
• RAM: 8 GB.
• Expansion: Storage is expandable up to 1 TB via a Micro SD card slot.
• Connectivity: Wi-Fi 6 is supported. Only a Wi-Fi variant is available; there is no 5G model.

Design, Audio, and Build The tablet is constructed with a complete metal body, giving it a premium feel. The back panel features a matte finish, ensuring fingerprints do not show up. The audio experience is top-notch, utilizing quad speakers (two on the top and two on the bottom) featuring Sound by JBL and Dolby Atmos branding.

Productivity and the Pen Plus The included Lenovo Tab Pen Plus makes note writing extremely smooth, especially on the matte display surface. The pen supports pressure sensitivity and proper palm rejection. The pen's button offers versatile controls, including changing slides during presentations, clicking photos, or pausing/changing videos on platforms like YouTube.

The tablet also incorporates modern AI features, such as Circle to Search (a personal favorite feature) and Ask to Gemini (which can be accessed by pressing the power button).

Battery and Camera The device houses a large 10,200 mAh battery capacity and supports 45W charging. You can expect a reliable battery backup of 7 to 8 hours of screen-on time with general use.

The rear camera is 13 Megapixels with a flash unit and is highly useful for scanning documents, supporting 4K video recording. The front camera records up to 1080p, suitable for online classes and Zoom meetings.
Note on Software: A key negative point to consider is the software policy. The tablet currently runs on Android 15 and is scheduled to receive only two major Android updates (Android 15 and Android 16), along with four years of security patch updates.
