This previously popular Lenovo Android tablet is back and while the 8GB/128GB reached an ATL low of US$155.99 recently this store has the 256GB storage variant for a little bit more which is worth the extra in my opinion. Especially since the 8GB/128GB variant is US$170ish on this listing and US$168ish at 70mai Goldway

Features include ZUI 16 (Android 14, updates until 2028), 12.7" 144Hz 2944x1840 LCD display with 400nits brightness, Widevine L1 DRM, 128GB or 256GB UFS 3.1 storage with microSD support, 8GB or 12GB RAM, 10200mAh battery with 45W fast charging, 4 JBL Speakers with Dolby Atmos, 2 inbuilt mics, 13MP rear camera, 8MP front camera, fingerprint reader, WiFi 6 ax, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, USB-C 3.2 port with 4K@60Hz video out and pogo pins for a keyboard.

AU$ based on current Mastercard rate, GST inclusive and doesn't stack with TCB/SB/CR cashback.

To enable Google Play, go to Settings > App Management > 3 dots top right > Google Basic Services > Turn on.
Then download Google Play from the Application Center or sideload an apk yourself.

For those paying in USD this is how you get the correct exchange rate in PayPal:

Setting overseas websites to AUD or letting PayPal do the currency conversion results in an inflated rate. To get the correct rate you need a card without international fees and do the following:

  • Set the website currency to USD
  • Checkout with PayPal
  • Select your card with no international fees
  • Click "See currency options"
  • Select USD to bill the card in USD instead of AUD
  • Proceed with checkout

Now you'll get the correct MasterCard or VISA exchange rate depending on the card.

    Does this have some sort of battery management system to allow it to be permanently on charge as a Home Assistant display? My Samsung tablet battery has just turned into a spicy pillow and I'm not sure if I'm better off replacing the battery or the whole tablet. And if I replace it do I get something like this or one that's powered by PoE.

      You could try modding your tablet to run directly from USB https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCkP_AUMZzw
      If you buy a new battery for your old tablet, there's apps to restrict your charging.

    • reactor-au on 14/07/2025 - 18:27

      You can set it to maintain between 40 and 60% if that's what you mean. Or you can set it to 80%.

      • heef on 14/07/2025 - 20:40

        I think they mean bypass charging, where the tab runs directly from the PD charging brick like a PC power supply.

    • Shon on 14/07/2025 - 20:06

      2 of my Lenovo's running the Chinese RO are now used as HA displays, after a few days of being plugged in they autostart a setting to only charge to 60%.

      • OldSchoolHarry on 15/07/2025 - 09:24

        Do you know if they get LAN internet from PoE input?

    • Sage222 on 14/07/2025 - 20:42

      If you custom Rom it you can usually restrict to 80 percent charge

    I can never get these deals at price listed.

    When I apply coupon it tells me that its too cheap at discounted price for rhe coupon to apply.

    Keeps saving me from spending money at least

          Yes I suspect so. AliExpress trade in USD and it doesn't fluctuate unlike their AUD rate.

              @Dvbargain: It's a great tablet, i'd also recommend you install gboard if you don't like the default keyboard.

              • Dvbargain on 14/07/2025 - 18:36

                @cephh: Stoked yeh. Overspecced for the price by far.

                Dont know what ill use it for though.

                Any good accessory recommendations?

                  @Dvbargain: I personally just ordered a random case and screen protector of ali express (got sent wrong screen protector first time tho), i mainly use it for shows with stremio + rd and reading manga here and there, vertically it's humongous which is great.

    • Dvbargain on 14/07/2025 - 18:25

      How does the 38 coupon apply when base price is 254, and if you use the 300 listing how does 38 off equal roughly 250 after the 38 tax they want to charge? Whats the trick

      I can get 12gb version to 303 which isnt a bad deal i guess

      • Dvbargain on 14/07/2025 - 18:32

        Ignore me. Set your currency in usd!!!

      • sydney_kings on 14/07/2025 - 19:40

        Best I could get was US$27.59 for the 12GB/256 version - worked out to be about AUD $316

          Using aud i had the 12gb version at $300,

          Using usd i got the 8gb version to 167usd. I think i did an inefficient conversion method though so it was 267 total aud

  • poopall on 14/07/2025 - 18:32

    Dont follow regarding CHINA ROM, does that mean its not really compatible in Australia ??

    • maimai on 14/07/2025 - 18:49

      No, it will work fine in AU, you can just install google play services if you need them.

    • bamzero on 14/07/2025 - 20:13

      The China ROM can get OTA updates, the global can't. You can select English at first start up and get through most of the set up and decluttering pretty easy. Anything else just keep your phone handy with Google translate in camera mode.

      • HardcoreDBZ on 14/07/2025 - 21:01
        +1

        To add to this,install google keyboard from play store and change the keyboard settings to gboard. Delete all the Chinese pre installed apps and you're all set.

  • rever on 14/07/2025 - 18:34

    I just bought it for the USD$167.90 (circa AUD$255).

    Make sure you set the website to USD, because the there is $20USD coupon on USD$160 spend. Don't use the AUD version of the coupon which requires $300 spend.

    So its USD$164 less USD$20 and when you taken into account taxes and shipping it comes back to USD$167 all in (circa $255).

    Hope that helps.

    Is the 12gb ram worthwhile?

    • yoquierotaco on 14/07/2025 - 19:57

      Interested in this as well.

      I assume more is better but is 8Gb enough for most scenarios?

    • bamzero on 14/07/2025 - 20:17

      I figured better to spend a bit extra on the storage instead. I got the 8/256GB which was $27 more I believe, as it states only the 256GB uses faster UFS4.0 storage.

      I guess at some stage 12GB will be the norm but hoping 8GB is plenty for now. You can RAM boost up to 5GB which is a small dent in the 256GB

      • adamshere on 14/07/2025 - 20:48

        This takes Sd cards as well so I'll just put one of them in that I have laying around.

        • bamzero on 15/07/2025 - 18:14

          It was more about getting the faster NAND than the extra storage space for me. The jump to 12GB/256GB cost a fair bit more though.

    • Gazzavic on 14/07/2025 - 20:18

      Note the 12gb version also upgrades speed to UFS 4.0. I had no idea what this translates to in user experience but this person does

      • bamzero on 15/07/2025 - 18:21

        I'm not sure how much difference it will make real world but ran some tests on my 256GB Sequential speeds are pretty fast, but not consistent. Peaked at 3.79GB/s read, 1.4GB write.

        Be great if anyone with 128GB could run a test on theirs. I used CPDT with an 8GB test file size.

      It should be criminal trying to sell such a POS for that price. Entry level Helio G88 paired with 4GB RAM. Dimensity 8300 in this ranks 27th in mobile processors while the G88 ranks 162 ☠️

          • bamzero on 15/07/2025 - 02:25

            @HardcoreDBZ: Thanks. I had another look and located the sensor (about 4.5cm down and across from top left.) Had tried passing a magnet over it before but must have missed it.

            My Ali case does have a magnet in the right spot but it's not strong enough to trigger it.

            Ah well. Wanted a tpu case that covered all the edges, pity the Lenovo is only available with the 4 corners (and hard plastic as far as I can tell?)

      Only if size is the only things that matters to you. The Pad Pro is an entertainment beast. I would definitely consider getting one in the future as a kitchen tablet/tv for following along with recipes and such.

      On the other hand, OLED on the Samsung is very nice especially if you use it in low light, and having a high-end Snapdragon chip means stuff like emulators are well supported with drivers and optimisation (most Nintendo Switch games will work (check out Kenji NX, Eden, and Sudachi).
