Reviews for the Lenovo Tab P10
The Lenovo Tab P10 is more aesthetically pleasing than most Android tablets. Its glass back looks great, and it doubles as a smart screen when connected to the new Lenovo Smart Dock thanks to its integration with Amazon Alexa. However, the device is powered by a lowly Snapdragon 450 SoC, and the dock is only available to purchase as part of a bundle with the tablet, so it is not all smooth sailing. Read on to find out how this midrange tablet fares against its competitors.

The Lenovo Smart Tab P10 is a functional if not particularly powerful tablet that would be a great first tablet for your teenager. Or just to keep in the kitchen. With Alexa’s Show Mode built-in and speaker dock supplied, the whole package makes for a much more enticing offer than the tablet on its own.

Overall, the Lenovo Smart Tab P10 is a nice option for anyone looking for a tablet and smart display but do not want two separate devices. I really like the dock and the sound either in the dock or taken out is decent and that matches with a great display for the cost.

The Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab is a thin, light, and comfortable-to-use tablet that should be perfect for watching movies on the go or chilling and reading a book.

If you’re looking for a Google Assistant smart screen then this isn’t for you. Check out Lenovo’s Smart Display for that. If you’re looking for an Alexa smart screen that can also double as a portable tablet, well, this is for you. It works well as a smart screen, it works okay as an Android tablet (though it does have a few performance issues), and it looks and feels nice in the hand. This tablet isn’t for everyone, especially if you’re not looking for Alexa skills, but for those who are in that ecosystem, it could work very well.

The Lenovo Smart Tab P10 is a unique two-in-one device that doubles as an Echo Show while docked and an Android tablet when on the go. Unfortunately, the P10's Android experience is far from great. The tablet is suitable for occasional Netflix streaming and web surfing, but if you want the Echo Show experience, buy a smart display from Amazon.

I think that the biggest drawback is the performance, which just isn't good. It's not as noticeable when the device is being used as a smart display, but you'll definitely notice it when using it as a tablet. Still, if you're only using it as a tablet occasionally, then you probably won't mind too much. At $349, whether you should buy this or not depends on what you're looking to do with it. If you don't think that you'll ever take the tablet out of the dock, then there are cheaper alternatives. The same goes for if you don't plan on ever using the voice assistant side of it. The product makes sense though. Your tablet is in a useful location when you need it, and it's a smart display when you're not using it. If that sounds like something that you can get behind, and you prefer Amazon Alexa over Google Assistant, you're good to go.

The Lenovo Smart Tab P10 is one of those quirks in the tablet space. It really positions itself on a higher pedestal by offering Amazon Alexa integration – something you won’t find too often in this segment. Doubling as a versatile smart display and speaker, it’s quite the compelling package when you figure that this Android tablet starts at $300. Sure, it won’t win in the speed department with its processor, nor does it take great photos with its cameras, but it’s the perfect thing for the home since it can quickly be used on-the-go to get stuff done – and subsequently be placed back on the dock to provide us with all the wonders of Alexa.

The Lenovo Smart Tab P10 is a 2-in-1 Android tablet that transforms into a surprisingly capable Echo Show clone when docked into a companion Bluetooth speaker. It offers a great screen, solid audio quality and is a lot more functional than Amazon’s own smart display. All told, the Smart Tab P10 delivers an impressive amount of functionality, especially at this price.

The magic comes in with the speaker dock. Despite the lack of truly punchy bass — something the Amazon Echo Show has in spades — the Dolby tuned speakers on the dock provide quality sound outside of that one small gripe. Could I recommend this over getting an Amazon Echo Show? Sure, I'd recommend this. At $350, you're getting so much more than a stationary smart display. I can only hope Lenovo improves upon an already impressive device.

This is ultimately a fairly budget tablet, with lightweight specs, old software, and a simple feature set, masked in part by slick-but-simple design that leaves the P10 looking and feeling more premium than it really is. If it wasn't for the included dock, this would be fairly unremarkable, so it's really only worth buying if the idea of a tablet that doubles as an Echo Show really speaks to you.

Although its design isn't 100 per cent on point, the idea of the Lenovo Smart Tab P10 is clever: by combining dock and tablet it acts as two products rolled into one. Tablet one minute, Alexa home hub the next, it'll be a logical solution for many – even more so in the future when all of Show Mode's features come into play following launch.

Every user account comes with individualized settings, wallpapers, and social media accounts. Since every member of the family gets their own account on the Tab P10, parents can make sure their kids stay safe. They can secure the content of their kid's access and put time limits on their usage. The Tab P10 also boasts enhanced eye protection and easy-to-use voice search. The Tab P10 rewrites the rules of what is possible in a premium family tablet. The device looks fantastic thanks to a standout dual-glass design, all metal framing, and narrow bezels. Put simply, it is beautiful to look at and a pleasure to hold, even though it is a less expensive model. At the same time, it is pretty light at just 440 g. A user can get it in black and white. They can also treat their eyes to something truly special: The Tab P10’s 10.1" FHD display captures everything from the intensity of an action scene to the beautiful details in family photos. It is an IPS panel with good viewing angles, the contrast is good and colours look vibrant. The screen is pretty bright at 400 nits, thus users should not have much issue with using it outdoors.
The Lenovo Tab P10 ships with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 octa-core processor that consists of eight cores. They can run at up to 1.8 GHz. Additionally, a user can get it with 3 or 4 GB of RAM and a 32 or 64 GB of internal storage. The performance of the Lenovo Tab P10 is good enough for all everyday tasks.

In conclusion, Lenovo has delivered a tablet that is to be shared by multiple members of a family. The device could be even better if it came with more protective features to prevent accidental drops or spills, especially when it is intended for kids. Nonetheless, it is a good device with a lot of great features at an affordable price.
