The Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 is an Android tablet with an 11.2 inch, 2560 x 1536 pixel OLED display featuring a 120 Hz refresh rate, 128GB of storage and support for up to 8GB of RAM.
One unusual thing about this tablet is that it will be available with either a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor or a MediaTek Kompanio 1300T chip, depending on the version you buy. Launching August 26th in China for about $325 and up, the tablet appears to be a modest upgrade over last year’s Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021 in most respects.
The new model has a slightly smaller display but a higher screen refresh rate. Models with Qualcomm processors come with a little extra RAM and support for faster charging, but the same Snapdragon 870 processor as last year’s model, while the key benefit of the MediaTek-powered model appears to be a lower price tag.
Here’s how the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 stacks up against the previous-gen version:

It’s unclear if or when the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 will be available outside of China, but Lenovo has a track record of debuting some tablets in China before giving them a global launch, so it’s possible we could see a rebranded version of this tablet in other countries in the future.
