Lenovo has confirmed that its upcoming Xiaoxin Pro 13 tablet will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, bringing significant performance gains over previous generation models. The company announced last week that the tablet will launch on 2026-03-18 in China alongside the Legion Y700 Gen 5 and Xiaoxin Pro GT13.

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, which debuted in smartphones like the Poco F7 and Nothing Phone (3), delivers a 31 percent improvement in CPU performance over its predecessor and features an Adreno 825 GPU that is 49 percent faster. The chipset achieved 2,158 and 6,989 points in Geekbench 6 single-core and multi-core tests respectively, with an AnTuTu score exceeding 2.1 million points. Built on a 4-nanometer process, the chip uses an 8-core configuration with one Cortex-X4 core running at 3.21 GHz, five Cortex-A720 cores at varying speeds, and two efficiency cores at 2.02 GHz.

The Xiaoxin Pro 13 features a 33.3 cm (13-inch) display with 3,504 x 2,190 pixel resolution and a 144 Hz refresh rate. Lenovo is also offering an official Stylus Pro accessory that supports 8,182 pressure levels with 1 millisecond latency and a 1.4 mm (0.055 inch) fine tip, along with magnetic charging and a built-in eraser mode. While the company chose the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 for this model, the higher-end Xiaoxin Pro GT13 is rumored to feature the more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. Pricing and availability details have not yet been announced for markets outside China.
