Getting Google’s apps onto an Amazon tablet used to take some effort. The new Alexa Tablets include Google Play from the start, alongside aluminum bodies and an optional anti-glare screen. It’s a welcome change, though Amazon’s move away from Fire also means leaving those bargain-basement starting prices behind.
Acer brought plenty besides computers to IFA 2026. There’s a paper-like monitor that keeps its image when unplugged, three foldable screens for your laptop, and a projector with a remote that doubles as an AI assistant. New tablets and 5G gear round out the haul.
Lenovo gave two very different compact gaming tablets the same Y700 badge. The 8.8-inch Gen 5 brings a sharper LCD, 9,000 mAh battery, and microSD expansion, while the smaller Wuji swaps in OLED, 5G, two high-speed USB-C ports, and a body that is 62 grams lighter.
OPPO’s tablet lineup now stretches from the tiny Pad Mini to the desk-filling Pad 5 Pro. The 13.2-inch flagship pairs a 3.4K 144 Hz display with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 power, a 13,380 mAh battery, and productivity features aimed squarely at laptop territory.
Foldable phones may be stealing the small-tablet spotlight, but OPPO’s Pad Mini makes a strong case for keeping the devices separate. Its compact body houses an 8.8-inch 144 Hz OLED display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 power, an 8,000 mAh battery, and 67 W charging.
The RedMagic Astra 2 takes gaming tablets to the next level with visible liquid cooling, a blazing-fast 185 Hz OLED display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and an 8,300 mAh battery with 80 W fast charging.
Nine speakers are common in premium cars and high-end soundbars. A tablet? That’s exactly what Lenovo has built.

Redmi’s K Pad 2 returns with an 8.8-inch esports display, Dimensity 9500 chip, dual USB-C ports for charge-and-play setups, and a larger 9,100 mAh battery aimed at handheld gaming.
