Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 Review: The Ugly Truth

The latest tablet is here from Lenovo and Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 review can shed more light on how good the upgrades are this year. If someone asks you which was the most worthy Android tablet last year, then the Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021 must be the only answer in many people’s minds. Even today, except for the Pad Pro 2022, you certainly can buy a Snapdragon, an all-metal body, 90 Hz OLED tablet for only $320. As the title says, we’ve got its next generation, the Pad Pro 2022.

Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 Review

And will it once again be the best Android tablet to buy this year? Let’s find out. Let’s talk about the advantages of its appearance.

The Design

Compared to the Xiaoxin Pro 2021, the design of the 2022 Android tablet PC has changed quite a bit. In some scenarios where you can only use it with one hand, you can grip it more firmly. The first time I saw it, I noticed that it was smaller and easier to control. Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 reviews show another benefit is that it’s much easier to operate in a game. The 2022 model still retains a Micro SD card expansion feature, and the fingerprint recognition error has been changed from the recess to erase one more like a normal power button.

That’s all there is to say about the advantages of the design, and then Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 review discusses the disadvantages. What has been gone is the all-metal unibody from 2021, the 2022’s model back panel, frame R, and macromolecule material. In other words, it is all plastic. This silver back panel is a fingerprint magnet, and with this cheap-looking lens module (rear camera), you can’t imagine this is Lenovo’s flagship tablet in 2022.

So, the experts recommend the vegan leather ones available in many color schemes. Maybe you are thinking that a smaller body with a plastic back panel would make it thinner and lighter. No, it’s only five grams lighter and 1 mm thicker than the 2021 Pad Pro, and the battery is a bit smaller.

So the Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro Pro 2021 is a step backward in design. So where does Lenovo spend the money it saves on appearance? You click on the screen to know the answer. Last year’s, Pad Pro 2021 screen was already exemplary in the same price range, but the new Xiaoxin Pad tablet’s screen is a step up.

It’s still an OLED panel, and the refresh rate has been increased to 120 Hz. All the problems from the previous generation have also been improved, such as the blurring of font edges, which is still there but has improved. Dolby Vision is supported and DC Dimming is available. All in all Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 review shows it is one of the best tablets with the best screen you can buy at the moment.

However, the 2022 model adds a screen plastic protective stand, making it look cheaper. And there’s still no screen film, which is some point users like. I’m not going to talk too much about the camera part. The chance of using the rear camera on the tablet to take pictures is too little, but the front camera is used by many people. After all, they buy tablets for online meetings or classes.

Results

To check the results, we recorded with the front camera for the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 review. To be honest, it’s not much different from other tablets. What made this point for the review is that the gaming part of 2022’s tablet, the Pad Pro 2022 still uses the Snapdragon A 870 processor, which is certainly not a problem for the very well-optimized PUBG.

What about gaming on Pad Pro 2022 tablet?

But for not so well optimized Genshin Impact, it is a disaster, especially in the mirror area. Look at the line graph. Look at the temperature. It’s not pleasant to play. I was also thinking that maybe the game was just too poorly optimized for the Sumeru region. And then I went to Mondstadt and shopped around again and realized that it was the Snapdragon A 870 that really couldn’t support the game’s highest graphics smoothly, and that lower graphics was your only choice.

But Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 review recommends you play Genshin on the Android tablet PC either. Because the game can’t even address the position and size of the buttons, and it’s so difficult to operate on a large screen. Of course, you can connect a mouse and a keyboard to play the game, but sometimes the keys will not work, so the experience is not very good.

Spec Sheet

The Ugly Truth!

The most annoying thing about big screen devices is the app adaptation unsurprisingly. Like basically every tablet we’ve tested, most apps display content in the same way as a large-screen phone. All the ways to use multiple windows are written in one vision setting. Most of them are just like any other tablet, so we won’t show too much. If you use a split screen plus floating windows, you can display seven applications at the same time.

No one would do this on the tablet, but once you connect it to a monitor, it’s usually to have ten windows open at the same time. This PC mode is not much different from the previous generation. Only the operation logic is changed to a PC-like way. The content display is still the same as the tablet mode. The 2022 model still has four JBL speakers compared to the previous generation. Is it progress or regression? I will let you guys make a judgment.

The Battery Performance

It is not the case that it can last for a long time on a single charge with such a large battery. Since the screen has also become larger. So, the power consumption is also bigger. You can check the chart here. The battery life performance is similar to a cell phone, but the good thing is that the Android tablet is at your home most of the time, so it can be charged at any time.
