Lenovo has unveiled the next iteration of its audio-focused tablet, the Tab Plus Gen 2, doubling down on what made its predecessor stand out: sound. The original Tab Plus arrived two years ago with eight built-in speakers tucked into a 13.58mm bulge on the rear. This time around, the design evolves with a ninth speaker housed inside a prominent circular bump that pushes the tablet’s thickness to 22.7mm at its peak. To make that extra heft worthwhile, the bump now integrates a 360-degree rotating kickstand, allowing the device to stand securely in both portrait and landscape orientations.
The company has not yet confirmed a specific release date or markets for the Tab Plus Gen 2, though it has indicated that more details are forthcoming. This latest model continues Lenovo’s strategy of blurring the line between a standard tablet and a portable Bluetooth speaker, prioritizing media consumption and audio performance over a slim profile.
