Lenovo is rumored to be readying itself to produce the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro 2, which will be the successor to the existing budget Lenovo Idea Tab Pro. Developed in a stroll to bring even to better mid-range Android tablet challenge is the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro 2, which is expected to bring 64-bit silicon and possibly even a bigger screen, taking on the likes of the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra.
We could also see a major design and performance improvement of the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro 2. The first-gen Idea Tab Pro hit some of the right buttons at an asking price of $379.99 with features like 3K LCD panel boasting 144Hz refresh rate, Google Gemini support, and a Tab Pen Plus stylus inside the box. Overall, it offers impressive value, particularly for students and even those on a budget, who are looking for something that is both productive and fun to use.

And now here we are already talking about the Lenovo Idea Tab 2 Pro. The successor could replace its MediaTek Dimensity 8300 chip with a more optimized in-house processor, which is speculated to be the SS1101. Lenovo is not on the same level as Apple or Xiaomi when it comes to custom SoC design yet, so the SS1101 could be a game changer, assuming it’s indeed a match for the Dimensity 8400 performance-wise.
If all the rumors are true, the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro 2 will be the first device to offer up this new silicon, which could mean other goodies for Lenovo’s Android productivity and entertainment experience – optimised performance anyone? And while the device initials launch in China as the Yoga Pad Pro, its features should have a fair more global appeal.
Perhaps one of the most intriguing changes is the screen size. Accordingly, the new Lenovo Idea Tab Pro 2 is rumored to have a significantly larger 14.5-inch display to go up against larger flagship tablets such as Xiaomi’s Pad 7 Ultra, or even the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra.
Lenovo insists on selling its tablet range as hybrid productivity tools, what with Google’s AI improvements and Circle to Search. That custom chipset, coupled with a bigger screen and built-in stylus, could make the Idea Tab Pro 2 the new go-to choice for anyone looking for flagship bang for mid-range buck.
Even though the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro 2 stays on China first, it might be setting a new standard for the Android Tablet industry. With its mix of high-end display specs, stylus integration, AI capabilities, and now apparently maybe some OEM-optimized silicon, it’s a tablet to follow for sure.
And with Lenovo taking itself much more seriously in the tablet space, particularly with its in-home silicon solutions such as the SS1101, then the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro 2 could be a game changer in what we can expect of mid-range Android slates into 2025 and beyond.
