Lenovo has made quite a niche for itself in the tablet market. The brand has made some great moves by launching different tablet lineups catering to entry level, mid-range, and premium segments, but there’s one shortcoming that pushes the brand behind Apple andSamsung, and even Xiaomi. Yes, we are talking about Lenovo’s track record for regular software updates. Well, the good news is that Lenovo has acknowledged the issue and published a dedicated page outlining its update roadmap for its tablets, ranging for P-series to Tab Extreme lineups. The roadmap also defines Android 14 update for Lenovo tablets.
The tablet maker shared the complete timeline of updates including details like the last security update, software at launch, upcoming updates, and more. Some of the tablets have already completed their update cycle like theTab P10and Smart Tab P10. You also get details like the end of security update tenure.
In the details below, you will find the term “upgrade plan” and in simpler terms, the “upgrade plan” is like a schedule for updating the software on Lenovo tablets. Every new tablet comes with a certain version of the Android operating system. The upgrade plan tells you when your tablet will get a newer version of Android. For example, if your tablet came with Android 10 out-of-the-box, the upgrade plan might say it will soon get Android 11 or a newer version.
Similarly, the term “Security maintenance ends” refers to the end of the update cycle for the devices. Devices that are marked done in the table below are the ones that have completed their update term and will not be getting any more updates from Lenovo. And the dates with an asterisk means that these are tentative dates and could change depending on the update rollout intensity. One can expect delays.
Please note that the timelinementioned by Lenovois to be taken with a pinch of salt as we tried to track down updates on many of the tablets mentioned in the tablet, but could not find any news or report confirming whether the update was actually rolled out within the said dates or not.
If you have one of these tablets, your experience might be different from what’s claimed by Lenovo. We want to hear from you! Share your experiences in the comments to give everyone a better idea of how these updates are happening in real life. By getting input from the community, we can all understand whether the planned timeline by Lenovo is reliable.
