Lenovo launches affordable tablet with smart dock

Lenovo has announced the launch of the Smart Tab M10 FHD Plus (2nd Gen) — an affordable mid-range tablet that comes with Amazon’s Alexa AI and a smart dock.

When charging in its dock, the tablet can switch to the hands-free ‘Show Mode’ from Alexa. This display mode is useful for watching media or video calling. It also lets you use Alexa hands-free with voice commands — similar to a smart home hub.

The tablet is an enhanced version of the previous Lenovo Smart Tablet M10, with a larger screen, improved processer, and easier setup for users.

It has a Full HD 10.3-inch display, an octa-core MediaTek Helio P22 mobile processor, and a 5000mAh battery. The device also features front-facing speakers with Dolby Atmos.

You can see a summary of the Smart Tab M10 FHD Plus (2nd Gen)’s main specifications below:

• Display: 10.3-inch FHD (1920 x 1200) IPS display
• Processor: MediaTek Helio P22T Tab (2.3GHz, 1.8GHz)
• Rear camera: 8MP
• Front-facing camera: 5MP
• RAM: 2GB/4GB
• On-board storage: 32GB/64GB/128GB
• Battery: 5000mAh

Meanwhile, the smart dock features Bluetooth connectivity, three far-field microphones, and dual 3W speakers.

The device is expected to be available towards the end of June from select retailers and Lenovo.com. The tablet has a recommended starting price of R4999.

With decent specs and the perk of its smart dock, the Lenovo Smart Tablet M10 (2nd Gen) will likely make a welcome addition to the affordable tablet market.
