Lenovo Smart Tab vs. Lenovo Smart Display: What is the difference?

Comparing smart home devices: Lenovo Smart Display and Lenovo Smart Tab

When it comes to personal virtual assistants and home control hubs, Lenovo has you covered. No matter which virtual assistant software you prefer, or whether you want a tabletop device or something more portable, you’ll find what you need in either the Lenovo Smart Display or new Lenovo Smart Tab.

Lenovo Smart Display with the Google Assistant

The Lenovo Smart Display with the Google Assistant broke new ground as the one of the industry’s first smart displays, the new category of screen-equipped smart speakers that you place on a table or countertop to await instructions – whether it’s to show a recipe, make a video call, or turn out the lights.

The Google Assistant virtual assistant that powers the device is already used in millions of smartphones, so most users are already familiar with it. The Lenovo Smart Display’s sleek designs are made to fit in any room of the house, and there are camera and microphone shutters for privacy.

Lenovo Smart Tab with Amazon Alexa

The Lenovo Smart Tab with Amazon Alexa is a conventional Android tablet that converts into a tabletop smart display. To activate it as a smart home hub, simply place it in the included Lenovo Smart Dock, which includes a microphone mute button for times when you won’t want Alexa to be listening.

As a tablet, you can use the Lenovo Smart Tab while on-the-go to check email, run apps, stream movies and whatever else you do with an ultraportable device. Or you can dock it to launch voice-activated Show Mode (with home control functions similar to Amazon Echo Show) while it charges for the next time it’s used as a tablet.

Whether you’re looking for a new home control hub or are just entering the world of smart home controls and gadgets, these new Lenovo devices offer the industry-leading features you need. Plus, you can choose a system with the virtual assistant software you prefer.
