Please look at video reviews of this. It has a metal kickstand ring and a large rear speaker. I have 2 of these and you will not find better audio on any tablet ever made.
Podcasts, voice, newscasts, TV/Movie dialog, etc... They all sound loud and clear without needing headphones.
You will have to live with the weight. I think it's the only downside. It is heavy but most of the time you are using the kickstand/ring that you can also use to hang this on door knobs and cabinet knobs. Great to use as a handle when moving it around.
You can use this as a bluetooth speaker as well. I.E. it will pair via bluetooth as a bluetooth speaker.
Performance is great as long as you don't play heavy 3D games. It's fast and responsive for non-3D apps/games.
Only caveat is you only get OS updates to Android 18 and 4 years of security updates. Lenovo reserves it's 5-6 year OS updates for its high end tablets. As with most Lenovo tablets the build quality is superb.
It's cheaper, but how is it better. The 12 inch Pro Amazon tablet uses Dimensity 8400 which is one generation ahead than this, and you can get up to 16gb of RAM

This posted a little late as i just got a used Tab S8+ off fleabay. Just for the weight, I'll stick with the Samsung...
The headline "2.5K, 120Hz, 8GB/256GB" sounds flagship-like, but it doesn't tell the whole story. Lenovo uses an LCD rather than AMOLED, a midrange processor, and USB 2.0 rather than Samsung's more capable USB-C connection. It puts more emphasis on speakers and the kickstand.
Its announced starting price was $399.99, so $280 is a substantial discount, but not an implausible one.news.lenovo+2
Also, the Lenovo's Dolby Vision/HDR10 labels do not automatically make its picture better than the Samsung's AMOLED. Panel technology and contrast matter alongside resolution and refresh rate
