Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad 2024 debuts with 11-inch screen and 8GB of RAM for under US$130

Lenovo has now formally taken its latest Android tablet from official preview to launch status. The Xiaoxin Pad 2024 packs a 7,040mAh battery into a chassis with a height of just 7.1mm and a mass of 465g, which sustains an FHD/90Hz screen.

It has been announced at a typical price of just 1,099 yuan (~US$151) with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable memory - or as little as 899 yuan (~US$123) from now until October 31, 2023.

The Pad 2024 is joined in its debut by the new Xiaoxin Smart Monitor 25, a new 25-inch IPS monitor with a 100Hz refresh rate, a latency of as little as 4 milliseconds and the same eye-health ratings as the new tablet, priced at just 599 yuan (US$82) at the time of writing.

Those 2 new devices have been presented alongside less traditional examples of Xiaoxin's growing smart-home (or home office) line-up. One of these is a new double-end USB type-A/type-C stick with speeds of up to 400MB/s that doubles as a fidget toy thanks to its novel "decompression disk" form-factor.

The unusual new "stress-relieving" storage accessory has an RRP of 169 yuan (US$23), although it may be ordered in Lenovo's native China for as little as 139 yuan (US$19) for a limited time.

These products, along with the new 100S projector, round out the Xiaoxin brand's latest offerings along with its own new "pet odor-free cat toilet", a high-tech litter tray with an automatic internal air freshener and a bottom-mounted waste-removal tray, touted to make pet ownership smarter and more enjoyable at 699 yuan (US$96).
