        I have it, I use it, looks great and runs really well. You have to put effort in to get rid of the Chinese and make it English, I've made a couple of guides here.

        • neonlight on 17/09/2025 - 14:38

          Thanks mate any chance you can link the guides here or is there a wiki page etc

            @neonlight: I wrote in a previous deal:

            I was able to remove the Chineseness:

            Connect to Wi-Fi.
Update system Twice. Settings > About Tablet > System Update
Turn on Google Services. Settings > Apps > Google Basic Services (at the bottom of the screen) > Activate 'Google Basic Services'
Download Google Play Store from their App Store, use a USB C stick, or use their Internet Browser and download from a website (what I did, I think Softsonic).
Once installed, login to Google Services.
Start with Gboard to replace its keyboard.
Get all the Google services you want, I got a bunch.
Get a new UI, I use Smart Launcher 6.
Set new UI to be the default.
Disable or uninstall all the Chinese apps you can or want.
I couldn't uninstall or disable their UI and app store, so I set all the permissions to deny, and battery usage to restricted so it wouldn't consume resources.

            System is now Westernized and snappy, Smart Connect is fantastic to share files with a PC or use the tablet as a second screen.

              @FabMan: I got my tablet today the only deal breaker is unable to double tab to wake using third party launchers…. And yes if you use default launcher gesture it can conflict with Nova launcher as an example for its gestures. It's because you can't disable default launcher and double tab is a system firmware locked feature

      2nd generation. This was the "first gen" but technically not as there was an original 2022 version that had OLED. Sadly the later models replaced OLED with LCD :(

      • wildchill on 15/09/2025 - 23:10

        So theres a 2022 .. a 2023 .. and a 2025 …….. but no 2024?

          +5

          Technically this is the 2024 version as it came out in around November 2024 and everyone just calls it 2025.

          Lenovo last month released the Xiaoxin Tablet Pro GT and 2 other tablets. The GT has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and that's a beast. It's currently ranked 13th while the Dimensity 8300 in this one is ranked 29th (out of 216).

            @Clear: yeah, i saw the Pro GT, it's almost double the price, smaller screen and battery, just faster chip, so that's going to drain pretty fast with the smaller battery, so not worth it in my opinion if you're going to consume media and general use basically.

  • OzSikh on 15/09/2025 - 22:35

    Did someone manage to get Google Assistant working?

    • wildchill on 15/09/2025 - 23:08

      And google Quick Share ?

    • Mnke on 15/09/2025 - 23:12

      You have to go into the Google app, profile circle > settings > google assistant > general > toggle it on (if it is on already toggle off and on)

      The initial turning it on in the normal tablet settings when you first install the assistant app didn't work.

      Video for P11 plus but it is pretty much the same.

      • OzSikh on 16/09/2025 - 01:16

        Thanks mate, followed your instructions only to found out that it was already toggle ON. But it still doesn't work. Circle to search doesn't work either

        • Mnke on 16/09/2025 - 10:13

          You may need to have the Google Home app installed if you haven’t. I assume you have the google assistant app installed already.

          It gave me the option of gemini or google assistant. There might be some setting you may have missed.

          • OzSikh on 16/09/2025 - 12:33

            @Mnke: Thanks for the reply, mate. I’ve been mucking around with all the settings for the last couple of weeks, but no luck. Ended up chucking the Global ROM on last night instead. Now the tablet’s fully Westernised — all in English and working spot on.

    I've flashed my tablet with the latest clean google Global Rom, and it's an awesome. one of the best value for money devices I've owned.

    • Clear on 15/09/2025 - 23:17

      Where did you get the Global ROM from? I know Lenovo were bricking other tablet models if the Lenovo RSA tool picked up that it was a CN version.

        Yes, if you go global rom, you loose OTA, so make sure you disable it. otherwise it works great, i've been on it for like weeks now.
        i know how to upgrade to new version of rom if a newer comes out, but then again, i'm in IT, so i know what i've doing.

        I just followed the instructions here https://old.reddit.com/r/androidtablets/comments/1jiueal/glo… and while you do loose OTA, its perfect now and i no longer have to deal with the recent Chinese language bug introduced in ZUX OS.

        For anyone reading, please note i do not take any responsibility if you brick your device. Make sure you take the time to do your research and setting up before you proceed.

        • TEER3X on 16/09/2025 - 07:36

          Apart from losing ota, are there any other reasons not to do this?

          Seems like the best thing to do tbh, thanks for the tip!

          • miztory on 16/09/2025 - 13:58

            @TEER3X: Haven't found any reasons not to so far. This also allows you to get native support for gemini as your assistant and other google features such as circle to search.

        • iJebus on 25/09/2025 - 09:54

          Were you able to backup before flashing? Feels like the instructions could be clearer, especially about scatterfile placement. I have the device showing up as expected with the preloader, but readback read pt is just hanging. Eventually the device reboots a few times and then boots normally; I think the preloader is just timing out when that happens though.

      • GUYANDSON on 16/09/2025 - 06:09
        +2

        you can get it direct from softwarefix (the lenovo tool), need input a fake serial (A00000 I think) and select the global device (TB373FU)

        You do lose OTA but it doesn't brick your device if you try to update.

        • bfg100k on 16/09/2025 - 11:33

          Nice. Thanks for the tip. Can we also flash the global rom via this tool?

          • GUYANDSON on 16/09/2025 - 11:53
            +1

            @bfg100k: Don't think so, software fix would pick up the devices' actual serial.

            The downloaded package comes with SP flashtool and the files get saved to C:\ProgramData\RSA\Download\RomFiles if you're on windows. I'd use that with the scatterfile from the link that @miztory posted instead of downloading SP Flashtool elsewhere.

            Anytime you want to update, follow the same deal but untick userdata. Latest version is 17.0.04.088

            • bfg100k on 16/09/2025 - 12:11

              @GUYANDSON: Awesome. I have been holding out on the conversion as I was worried about the source of the tools and ROM. Will have to give this a go this weekend!

      I'm interested to understand your issues too…. I've had this tablet for a month or two, and it does everything I need. Very happy with it.

    • MadoxNet on 15/09/2025 - 23:57

      Curiously why? I've had mine for several months now and its still fine?

      • TomGum on 16/09/2025 - 00:44
        +4

        What I liked at first:
        - Super Fast
        - Smooth
        - Large Display

        After a month of use, some things have started to bother me:
        - Random Chinese here and there.
        - Pull Up global search is something I’ve started to miss.
        - YouTube colour quality wasn’t as good as I expected.
        - Volume animation looks crap.
        - Random spaces before apostrophes.
        - Screen too sensitive when holding the edges, many times it pauses my video due to a slight touch.
        - There’s a number apps that actually have issues on Android 15.

        In a nutshell, the overall experience becomes abit compromised, which I understand I should be able to live with given the price, but I just feel spending an extra $100 for an S9 would go along way in the long run. Not to mention the value retained by the S9 would be a lot higher when it comes to resale, where as the Lenovo, the resale value would be non existent in the future.

          An extra $100 would not get you an S9, an extra $150 + a trade in, probably.

          • TomGum on 16/09/2025 - 00:59

            @cephh: Most tablet lovers on ozb would have probably already jumped on the sales that’s been happening in the last few months. $350 was the going price. Most likely it will happen again.

        • MadoxNet on 16/09/2025 - 03:08

          Thanks for the well thought-out reasoned reply.

          I'm with you on the 'random Chinese', but so far its only been on the Netflix app for me.

          I'm normally a Pixel/Google launcher person (Pixel phones etc), but on this device I installed Microsoft Launcher and it seems to work well enough.

          I'm still loving it though for the price. I'm using it mainly as a media player / very big ebook (still prefer to read on a e-Paper Boox, but don't want to carry too many devices onto a plane…).

        • jc123 on 16/09/2025 - 11:27

          Flash the device with the Global rom, and some of your problems will be resolved. However flashing requires some technical patience, and understanding that you lose OTA and risk bricking if you do it incorrectly.

    When the tablet came out nobody knew how to unlock the bootloader, but if this is something you want to do it's quite easy now. I installed a crDroid GSI ROM and it works great without the fingerprint scanner. Not sure if it'll work when I get my Lenovo stylus though.

      What’s the better path, to unlock the bootloader and install a custom rom or flash the global rom? I assume cdroids compatibility might not be fully supporting everything on the device

    How does this go in the outdoors?
    400 nits suggests it doesn't deal well with too much sunlight.

    Did anyone purchased from previous deal? Pretty sure cashrewards won't give you anything

    Just ordered - code still works though $176.33 USD. Bought with TopCashback $50 bonus + cashback, hopefully tracks. Thanks OP!

    Anyone have a bug when your on the home screen and the button and widgets just randomly disappear and you have to scroll to get the home screen back.

    I fell like its a siftware setting or a sensor bug, teo of them do it randomly and not all the time
