Eight JBL speakers and a 2K OLED display in a tablet that weighs 650g is a combination most manufacturers don’t bother to attempt.
That most rare of combinations now comes at an even more affordable price, with the Lenovo Tab Plus reduced from £289.99 to £169, saving you £120.99 off a tablet that earns its keep on display and audio alone.

Lenovo’s 11.5‑inch Tab Plus drops 42%, matching its best‑ever price
At £169, this is a deal for anyone who wants an entertainment device that punches well above its weight without spending iPad money.
The 11.5-inch OLED panel runs at a 2000×1200 resolution with a 16:10 aspect ratio, which gives films and TV shows noticeably more vertical screen space than the widescreen tablets you’d typically find at this price point.
TUV-certified eye care is built in as well, so longer viewing sessions in the evening are less likely to leave you with the kind of eye strain that cheaper displays tend to cause after an hour or two.
Audio is where the Lenovo Tab Plus makes its clearest statement, with eight JBL speakers delivering 26W of stereo output through a Hi-Fi matrix structure that uses four tweeters and four force-balanced woofers to separate highs and lows rather than flattening everything into the same mid-range.

The speaker system is also Dolby Atmos-tuned, and the tablet supports a Bluetooth speaker mode that lets it receive audio directly from your phone, which makes it a reasonable substitute for a portable speaker when you’re not using it as a tablet.
Under the hood, a MediaTek octa-core processor is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage, with a microSD slot available if you want to expand that further without relying on streaming.
The 8600mAh battery supports 45W rapid charging, which gets it back to full power in around 90 minutes, so a short charge over lunch is enough to cover an evening of streaming without anxiety about running low mid-episode.
Android 14 ships out of the box, and the Tab Plus is compatible with Lenovo’s own stylus pen, which is sold separately but worth knowing about if you want the option to sketch or annotate documents down the line.
At £169, this tablet punches well above its weight in audio and display quality, and it represents strong value for anyone who wants a capable entertainment device without spending iPad money.
