Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7 Android tablet went on sale on August 10, with a Snapdragon 870 processor and a 12.7in 144Hz refresh rate screen, with an initial launch of 1599 yuan. ‏

According to IDC's quarterly tracking report on Chinese tablets released by IDC, Lenovo ranked fourth with a 6.5 per cent share, behind it by two big blue and green companies. A year ago, Lenovo was in the top three with more than 10%, second only to apple and Huawei. ‏

The decline in ‏ share is mainly due to the decline of the overall environment. After all, after the epidemic has receded, the market demand for tablets is no longer so strong. Another reason is that the market competition is too fierce. If we want to stabilize this part of the market, we must provide consumers with more attractive purchase options with full sincerity. ‏

‏ 1599 yuan from Lenovo small new Pad Pro 12.7, if only from the price point of view, this seems to be an entry to the middle of the tablet product. However, when the author deeply experienced this product, I found that the excellent experience brought by its comprehensive product power can be said to be the only one at this price. ‏

Why would ‏ say that? Let's take a look at the detailed evaluation of Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7in. ‏

‏ 1. Appearance design and screen ‏‏ start with appearance design. The new Pad Pro 12.7 flat panel uses a metal integrated body and provides pigeon gray and Xizi green. CTOnews.com gets the pigeon gray color version. ‏

In the design of ‏, Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 plate still continues the family design: fuselage collision, metal integration, anodizing process, metal association Logo nameplate of highlight + screen printing process, specular glass image module. ‏.

‏ this combination of punches, with a strong business flavor of pigeon gray color matching, so that Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 does show a good business texture, whether it looks good or not, but this price gives you such a product temperament, it is really praiseworthy. ‏

In terms of ‏ details, Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 flat panel rear camera has a resolution of 8 megapixels and comes with a flash. ‏

The ‏ front is a 13 million ultra-wide-angle lens that supports portrait tracking and facial unlocking. ‏

‏ Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 flat panel uses JBL four-uplift sound system, supports Dolby panoramic sound, and uses double mic noise reduction. ‏

The ‏ power key is located on the side of the camera and supports fingerprint recognition. ‏

There is a card slot in the center of the middle box on the ‏ side. Don't be excited to see this. It's not a SIM card slot, but a TF card slot. Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7tablet provides 256GB storage, so if you don't have enough, you can expand the storage through this card slot and support up to 1TB. ‏

The other side of the ‏ body is also a symmetrical loudspeaker hole, the middle is a full-function USB-C interface, and supports 4K video signal output capability. ‏

‏ goes back to the front. ‏

‏ small new Pad Pro 12.7 flat panel is equipped with a large LCD screen up to 12.7in, and has a resolution of 2944x1840. it officially says that it has reached 2.9K, and supports 144Hz refresh rate, brightness of 400nits (typical value), 1.07 billion color display, HDR10, Dolby horizon, and DC dimming. ‏

‏ CTOnews.com also simply tested the color accuracy and gamut data of Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 flat panel through the color calibrator. ‏

‏ is shown in the following figure: ‏

‏ in bright mode (screen display mode-bright-standard), the measured Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 screen has 99.1% sRGB color gamut and 95.5% DCI-P3 color gamut, which can be regarded as a large screen with a wide color gamut. ‏

As far as the experience is concerned, the screen performance of the small new Pad Pro 12.7 tablet is impressive. First of all, the strong sense of immersion brought by the 12.7inch screen is very suitable for painting, cinema and other application scenes. ‏

What ‏ has to say is that although the difference between 12.7in and 11in is only about 1 inch in text, the former is actually a full circle larger than the latter. ‏

‏ second, the screen resolution reaches 2.9K, the screen display is delicate, even if the eyes are close, it is difficult to feel the presence of graininess. In the same price of some flat panel products, there are a lot of "fruit" screen. ‏

The only small slot in ‏ is that when you squint at some extreme angles (such as looking at the screen from a vertical angle), the screen color will be reddish, but it is not particularly obvious. As for the brightness of the slightly shabby 400nit, it is not a big deal as long as it is not used outdoors (and the probability of using tablets outdoors is much lower than that of mobile phones). ‏

‏ generally speaking, looking at the whole tablet field, Xiao Xin Pad Pro's screen may be just regular, but at the price of 1599 yuan, it can really be described as "amazing". ‏

‏ and, small new Pad Pro 12.7 also supports iqiyi frame Yi Ying painting, beep mileage Dolby horizon, Youku frame to enjoy 120 frames of video content, audio and video lovers are ecstatic. ‏

‏, however, the author still has a little extravagant request. ‏

‏ mentioned earlier that the new Pad Pro 12.7 tablet uses a full-featured USB-C interface (USB 3.2 Gen1) and supports 4K / 60Hz video output, but unfortunately it does not support the "video input" feature of its higher-end YOGA Pad Pro tablet. ‏

‏ in other words, the small new Pad Pro 12.7 tablet can not be used as a display that can be connected to game consoles and consoles, which is a bit of a waste of the advantage of a big screen. ‏

‏, of course, the author is well aware that at the price of 1599 yuan, the requirement for "video input" function is a bit excessive, but the author also sincerely hopes and strongly appeals that any tablet with a screen size of more than 11 inches, it is necessary to add video input function (is the cost of a built-in acquisition card high? ). ‏

After all, the ‏ will extend the life of the tablet indefinitely-sooner or later, or get "dusty" because of outdated configuration, but it can still stay with you for a long time when it turns into a high-quality, touch-enabled display. ‏

‏ 2. Accessories experience ‏‏ it is necessary to talk about the keyboard and stylus accessories provided by Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7 tablet, especially the keyboard, which gives a lot of points to the comprehensive experience of this tablet. ‏

‏ is different from the traditional flat panel keyboard. Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7 magnetic keyboard obviously continues the design idea of PC keyboard. First of all, it basically restores PC in terms of keys, including shortcut keys, which is basically consistent with the Win platform. ‏

‏ second, this keyboard is thicker than the traditional tablet keyboard, closer to some two-in-one lightweight books, and its advantages are more obvious-longer typing range (1.5mm) and more brittle feedback. The size of the keyboard itself is relatively large, in exchange for larger keys, and there is a certain spacing, there will not be the phenomenon of finger "fighting" when typing. ‏

Third, ‏ provides a trackpad. With the trackpad, you don't have to switch between touch and keyboard frequently, and the ‏ gesture ‏ operation of the trackpad is basically the same as that of the Win platform, and the comprehensive experience is quite close to the laptop. ‏

‏ if you often do codeword production and other content production work on the tablet, be sure to buy this keyboard when you buy Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7. the price of 459 yuan is worth the experience. ‏

‏, a magnetic stylus, officially supports 4096 levels of pressure and ultra-low latency, as well as the ability to quickly create notes and global handwriting on the information screen. ‏

‏ as far as the "handwriting" experience is concerned, ‏‏ has a better experience in its own tag App. However, there is still some room for optimization in third-party App, such as ‏‏. When you write a little faster, you feel that your handwriting can't keep up with your pace, ‏‏. Fortunately, the overall gap of ‏‏ is relatively small, but in this respect of ‏‏, ‏‏ still hopes that ‏‏ will optimize it as soon as possible. ‏

Some of the extra features added to the ‏ pen are very impressive, such as remote control photography, remote switching of music / video and PPT presentation mode, and in some business meeting scenes, the pen can be used as a remote control through gestures or keystrokes. ‏

As ‏ mentioned above, Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7's magnetic keyboard is relatively thick, so it brings some extra weight. ‏

‏ specifically, Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7 has a bare metal weight of about 615g and a 6.9mm thickness, which is relatively thin and heavy, which is not bad for a 12.7inch tablet. ‏

‏, however, the total weight of the keyboard and rear housing bracket is also about 600g, with the product itself, close to the weight of a lightweight ‏‏. ‏

It is necessary for ‏ to make it clear that this ‏‏ ‏‏ is not a disadvantage, because such a price, such a product, is already very difficult (embarrassed) to pick faults. However, the author believes that the keyboard accessories of Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7 still have a lot of room for optimization in terms of weight. ‏

‏, for example, the supporting part of the rear shell. ‏

The ‏, a separate rear shell bracket that weighs 288g, has the advantage of excellent large-angle support, better protection of the plate (which is really hard to remove), and fixed magnetic stylus. ‏

‏ but this bracket can be made a little thinner, or more radical, and only needs an adhesive bracket to do this part of the operation. ‏

‏ after all, consumers choose large-size tablets, but also has a certain demand for lightweight and portable. The rear shell weight of nearly 300g is somewhat exaggerated when added to a 600g flat plate. ‏

‏ if you have a higher demand for frivolity like the author, you can also take off the back shell and go to a treasure flower for a few yuan to buy an adhesive flat bracket, too. The magnet of the stylus itself can also be firmly fixed on the back of the fuselage. ‏

‏ 3, performance test, game experience ‏‏ core configuration, Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7 tablet is equipped with Snapdragon 870 processor, provides 8GB+128GB and 8GB+256GB storage versions, built-in 10200mAh battery, supports 20W wired fast charging. ‏

‏ Snapdragon 870, this two-and-a-half-year-old "Middle Ancient" chip once again coruscates a new vitality on Xiaoxin Pad Pro. ‏

‏ don't keep an eye on Snapdragon 870 for two and a half years, it depends on what kind of chip it is, what price it is used in products, and what chips competitors are using (not to mention the price reduction). ‏

‏, let's directly take a look at the running score of Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7 flat panel: ‏.

‏ Anbunny has a score of 780000 + (despite the fact that it is more than xx% users, the entry configuration is not keen on running points, and it is understandable that Snapdragon 870 is backward), which belongs to the normal performance of Snapdragon 870. from the point of view of running data, it is also UFS 3.1level. ‏

‏ generally speaking, Snapdragon 870s appear on tablets priced at 1599 yuan, so there is no "insufficient" performance-even if you have game needs, that's enough. ‏

In terms of ‏ charging life, Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7 tablet has a built-in 10200mAh battery, which can be said to be the only one in the entire tablet camp. But maybe it's a system optimization problem? In short, ‏‏ did not feel the charm of this over-10,000-capacity battery in the game scene and ‏‏. Speculate the reason, on the one hand, Lenovo small new Pad Pro 12.7 tablet on the performance tuning is very radical, on the other hand, this big screen is indeed a big power consumption. ‏

What ‏ needs to say is that the author also chose "full 144Hz High Brush" in the display settings. If you choose the intelligent refresh rate and choose to watch the scene, the advantage of this large battery is more obvious. ‏

‏, however, compared with the ‏‏ 10200mAh's large battery, this 20W fast charge is a bit stretched. It takes about 2 hours of ‏‏ ‏‏ to fully charge, which is a small pity for Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7 tablet in the hardware part. ‏

In terms of ‏ games, we chose "original God", which is also the highest picture quality + 60 frames, but we chose the simplest initial image + play monster in the game scene. ‏

Combined with ‏, Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7 tablet won the average frame rate of 59.05fps, which performed quite well and even exceeded the author's expectations. ‏

‏ as for power consumption and heating, also exceeded the author's expectations, super-large battery brought more than 13W power release, more "bold", the highest temperature of the fuselage reached nearly 43 °C, all concentrated near the camera. ‏

‏ thus shows that Lenovo Xiaoxin's training of Snapdragon 870 is also quite "bold and unrestrained". ‏

‏ benefits from the large fuselage, when you play "original God" on the horizontal screen, the palm of your hand can not touch the hot area at all, which is also a pleasant surprise. ‏

‏ on the other hand, when you do play games with this big tablet, you will find that the excess weight and size are quite unfriendly to the wrist, basically holding it for two or three minutes, and the wrist will be very sore. ‏

‏ for example, the author in the "original God" 30 points test, basically put the flat plate horizontally on the table, rub the glass to play, like a DJ. ‏

‏, if you see that the big screen of Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7 tablet is greedy and has the idea of "playing games is fun", get rid of your eyes as soon as possible, but your hands are really uncomfortable. ‏

‏ Lenovo naturally takes into account that not everyone has a unicorn arm. Therefore, in the aspect of the system, the "peripheral mode" is added very kindly.

At present, "Game for Peace", "Arena of Valor", "QQ Speed", "Live Football", "original God", "call of Duty Mobile Games" and "League of Legends Mobile Games" support keymice and handle peripherals. ‏

‏ means that you can play games on Lenovo's new Pad Pro through the handle and mapping as if you were playing on the mainframe. ‏

After ‏ finished talking about the peripheral mode, it is necessary to talk to you about the system interaction experience of Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7 tablet. ‏

‏ has always been complained that Xiaoxin's Pad system doesn't work, but in my experience, it seems to be good-there are all the features I should have, and there are even some unexpected features, such as peripheral mode. ‏

Let's move on to the interactive experience of the system under ‏. ‏

‏ IV, system interaction and functional experience ‏‏ Lenovo small new Pad Pro 12.7 tablet is equipped with ZUI 15 system. ‏

‏ ZUI 15 uses a brand new desktop design, including support for widgets, negative one screen, new application libraries on the taskbar, etc., and widgets can automatically adapt when switching between landscape and vertical screens. ‏

‏ ZUI 15 ‏‏ maximum ‏‏ supports 8x6 layout, but currently ‏‏ can only select the 6x4 option for up to 12.7in ‏‏, and ‏‏ does not have an adaptation plan for ‏‏. ‏‏ slightly regrets that ‏‏ ZUI 15 ‏‏ does not yet support ‏‏ large folders. In 2023, it doesn't make sense that large folders are not supported on tablets. This is a small notch. ‏

‏ but then again, the ZUI system is really not a problem on Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7 tablet, especially whether the comprehensive experience is really bad compared with the competitors. ‏

‏, for example, can display up to four applications on the same screen: ‏.

‏ application split-screen ‏‏ in interactive mode, ZUI 15 adds three-point buttons at the top of the application, a bit like fruit's iPad, and click to select full screen, floating window, split screen and minimize. ‏

‏, such as ZUI 15, also supports parallel windows, and when turned on, an application supports dual-window display under horizontal screens. And in the case of adaptation, ZUI 15 is also more comprehensive coverage, some mainstream applications basically support, including CTOnews.com, cloud calendar, the best to buy these App. ‏

‏ part of the application of parallel window ‏‏ also applies floating window function, but also brings a wealth of gesture manipulation and floating window sidebar functions. ‏

‏ takes gestures as an example. Push up the bottom of the application to open the floating window; you can also open the floating window by multitasking, or open the floating window by banner notification, and so on. ‏

‏ split screen, floating window, parallel window and other functions are placed in the setting-"one field of view" ‏‏ ‏‏, and there are detailed tutorials that ‏‏ from the basic large screen interaction point of view, ZUI 15 support and adaptation is no different from the mainstream. If you have to ask me to pick out some faults in the system, the interactive animation may still need to be optimized, sometimes the animation will occasionally "skip frame" phenomenon, some animations are too stiff (such as background multi-task switching back and forth). I don't think it's so silky. ‏

When it comes to ‏ 's smart connectivity, ZUI 15 has also come up with its own tricks-super interconnection and super file capabilities. ‏

In ‏, the super interconnection is hidden in Settings-Advanced functions-Lab functions. ‏

‏ Lab features such as full-screen video do not disturb, AI real-time subtitles, global video beauty, video portrait tracking and other functions, you see, do you have everything you should have? ‏

‏ Lab function ‏‏ Lenovo Super Interconnection is divided into three functions: Lenovo flash, application screen casting, and screen sharing. ‏

‏ refers to ‏‏ for quick file sharing between tablet and PC (‏‏ is not only PC and tablet, but also does not restrict brands, as long as ‏ is a mobile device in the mutual transmission alliance, it can be ‏); ‏‏ app is launched by dragging and dropping Android apps to PC to display ‏‏; and ‏‏ screen sharing uses tablet as an extension screen of PC and connects wirelessly. ‏

However, this is still the ‏ "Beta" ‏‏ version, and the entrance is also hidden deep ‏‏. ‏

The new super file feature in ‏ ZUI 15 is very useful. ‏

‏ this is not "hidden", directly in the form of icons on the desktop. ‏

‏ super file icon, the integration of super files, folders and extended OTG will show ‏‏ super files here a bit like a more advanced, more personal network disk function. In super files, devices under the same Lenovo account can share files across systems and brands. ‏

‏ note that it is cross-brand. Even if you are using a non-Lenovo PC, download a super file App (which supports Android and Win platforms) and log in to the same Lenovo account to transfer files between the tablet and PC. ‏

‏ looks familiar. ‏‏ even supports communication with third-party phones. ‏

‏, such as the author's Xiaomi phone, can also connect with Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7 tablet after downloading the super file App. The pictures, videos, audio and documents of the phone can be viewed / transmitted on the tablet, while the phone can also view / transmit the content of the tablet. ‏

When it comes to ‏, Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7 tablet also supports mirroring and expansion modes. If you have a monitor, this monitor can be used as the second screen for Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7 tablet. ‏

The last part of ‏ is the educational ecology. ‏

‏ Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7 tablet has a built-in "Tianjiao School", which can be opened in the setting. ‏

‏ naturally needs a set of password operation and perfect learning information before opening it. You can also choose home guardian and remote monitoring. ‏

After ‏ is turned on, the system will automatically adapt the corresponding educational content resources according to your school age, from preschool to senior high school. And there will be corresponding learning reports, learning records, as well as wrong problem books, class schedules, daily tasks and other functions. ‏

‏, however, what is very interesting is that after opening the Tianjiao School, Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7 tablet will not enter the complete "learning" mode, but the coexistence of the "Tianjiao School" and the native desktop. ‏

‏ means that after opening Tianjiao School, you can still use other App, including games and so on. ‏

‏, however, Lenovo provides an additional "learning assistant" function in the system, which allows parents to restrict access to the application, time limit, device usage time, and health eye care reminders. ‏

So ‏ seems to give children the greatest "freedom" and can learn and play games, but in fact, the power is still in the hands of parents, and it is up to parents to decide how long to play. ‏

‏ includes browsers. After opening the "Tianjiao School", the browser will also enter the "learning" mode, and some non-learning content needs to be applied to parents. ‏

Browser access restrictions in ‏ Learning Mode does ‏‏ want to quit Learning Assistant? That must first quit the "Tianjiao School", want to quit the "Tianjiao School"?

I'm sorry, apply to the parents! ‏

‏ ZUI 15 also has another feature that I like very much-"background sound", which can be turned on by sliding down the notification bar. ‏

‏ you can choose different white noises, which are turned on globally, even if you lock the screen or open an audio App, the white noise will not be paused unless manually turned off. ‏

‏ concluded that ‏‏ Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7 tablet was followed by the author before its release. When I really got it, my first feeling was that it didn't look like a tablet worth 1599 yuan-even if it cost more than 1599 yuan, I thought it was acceptable. ‏

‏, of course, to put it bluntly, the author's high praise for this product ‏‏ is ‏‏ based on the price of 1599 yuan ‏‏ ‏‏, ‏‏, after all, there are no inappropriate products, only inappropriate prices. ‏

‏ back to the product power, I think Lenovo small new Pad Pro 12.7 tablet positioning and play is very accurate, whether for those who need a large entertainment tablet, or those who need a learning tablet parents or productivity students, Lenovo small new Pad Pro 12.7tablet is very difficult to bypass. ‏

‏ as an entertainment tablet, it has the same level of larger size, good display effect of the large screen, Snapdragon 870 has brought outstanding performance release; as a learning tablet, the same advantages of large screen, keyboard, learning ecology, but also add points to the experience Even if you emphasize productivity, it doesn't seem so perfect, but Lenovo's new Pad Pro 12.7 can do it with all the interconnection features and excellent magnetic keyboard / stylus accessories. ‏

‏ finally, on the purchase advice, if you are just a simple entertainment need, then buy a bare metal. If you want to be productive and learn, then you must and must match the keyboard and stylus. ‏
