Lenovo Unveils a Brighter Future for Hybrid with Premium Tablets with 5G and next-gen Add-ons

Tablets are indispensable for both work and play delivering endless ways to enjoy entertainment and get more done at home and on the go. The world needs a healthy escape now more than ever ergo consumers are spending more time streaming everything from shows and movies to games. According to research, Millennial parents are more likely to provide their kids with their own tablet than their own TVs¹, continuing the pattern of young digital natives learning and engaging through streaming on YouTube™ and other social platforms over cable.

The new normal has also led to an uptick in consumers creating their own digital content, and as any rambling creative who’s ever tried to write lyrics, post to their blog or submit an online review from their tablet’s touchscreen will attest – a physical keyboard and integrated trackpad comes in very handy when typing anything longer than a quick email to friends. Incredibly versatile, the tablets unveiled today can double as a smart display for managing your smart home devices², and one can even serve as a second screen for your PC via wireless connection.

This is all possible with Lenovo™’s new smarter line of powerful, premium P-Series tablets, including the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro that’s revolutionizing personal ‘me-time’ along with the debut of our new wireless connectivity framework software, Project Unity³, as well as our first Android™ tablet with dedicated 5G connectivity⁴, the Lenovo Tab P11 5G. And for the ideal in-ear audio experience for either of these tablets, PC or smartphone, turn to our new Lenovo Smart Wireless Earbuds that pair instantly with up to two devices simultaneously via Bluetooth® to enable great sound plus smart noise cancelling.
