The tablet, which also offers different EQ settings for movies and music, can work as an independent Bluetooth speaker, just like the previous model.

The line between tablet and Bluetooth speaker is getting thinner
Lenovo Tab Plus Gen 2 appeals to users who want both a screen and a powerful speaker with a single device, especially in the kitchen, work desk, bedroom or small living room. This product does not compete in the same league with thinner, general-purpose tablets such as the iPad or Galaxy Tab. Lenovo positions this model for people who mostly watch videos, listen to music, open podcasts and use the tablet by leaning it on a surface most of the time. For this reason, the rear protrusion may bother some users, but those who care about audio performance and stand flexibility may find the same design an advantage.

Long story short, Lenovo Tab Plus Gen 2 appears as a different Android tablet that emphasizes sound, stand usage and media experience rather than thinness.
