After dominating the giant tablet market for almost a year,Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Finally, there is an opponent at the same level. Lenovo’s new Tab Extreme tablet uses a 14.5-inch, 3,000 x 1,876 resolution (16:10) 120Hz OLED panel, and there’s also a matching keyboard case (standard in some markets, the rest are optional) to convert it for laptops.
There’s nothing too “extreme” about the internal Tab Extreme: it uses a Dimensity 9000 processor, paired with 12GB of memory and 256GB of storage. It also has two USB-C ports, one is USB 3.2 and the other is USB 2.0 only. Via the USB port you can connect a DisplayPort monitor and also charge the device in reverse. There are up to 8 JBL speakers supporting Dolby Atoms in the fuselage and a radio array with up to 4 microphones. The battery size is 12,300mAh, which can play 12 hours of video, while there is a 13MP lens on the front and back, and a 5MP secondary camera on the back.
The Tab Extreme comes with Android 13, and Lenovo promises to deliver three major version updates and at least four years of security updates. It also has a built-in Freestyle app that lets you extend your Windows PC desktop to your tablet and use your tablet as a secondary screen for your laptop. Lenovo has not yet confirmed the launch date and plans to launch it only in 2023, with prices starting at $1,200. Though it seems to be more affordable than the Tab S8 Ultra which can only be equipped with a keyboard for now, but the Samsung device was launched after a whole year and may see an update soon, and so we can compare the pros and cons of the two.
