0:00Tablets have been a popular choice for
0:02those who want a bigger screen without
0:04carrying around a laptop. Whether it’s
0:06for watching movies, attending online
0:08classes, reading ebooks, browsing social
0:11media, or even getting some light work
0:13done, tablets can be a versatile
0:15companion. Today, we’re taking a look at
0:18the Teclast Pad Plus 2. From just specs
0:20alone, it seems like a decent package
0:23for entertainment and everyday use.
0:24[music] But, how does it actually
0:26perform in real-world use? Let’s find
0:28out.
0:29>> [music]
0:34[music]
0:35>> Starting with the design, the Teclast
0:38Pad 2 keeps things simple and
0:39minimalist. [music] The tablet features
0:41a metal body that feels sturdy in the
0:43hand. Despite having a large 12-in
0:46display, it never feels excessively
0:48heavy during my time with it. In fact, I
0:51was able to hold it with one hand for
0:53extended periods while reading comics,
0:55catching up on novels for my growing TBR
0:58list, or simply browsing through social
1:00media. The back panel also does a good
1:02job of resisting fingerprints, helping
1:04the tablet maintain a cleaner appearance
1:07even after prolonged use. When using the
1:09tablet in landscape orientation, facing
1:11the screen, the buttons are positioned
1:13along the top edge with the speakers on
1:15both sides. There’s also the SIM card
1:17tray along with the microSD card slot
1:19for storage expansion, which is always a
1:22plus on our book. At 7.6 mm thin, the
1:25tablet also feels reasonably sleek for
1:27its size. One thing worth noting is that
1:30there’s no case in the box. Given the
1:32large [music] size of the display, a
1:34protective case would have been
1:35appreciated. The overall build quality
1:37leaves a positive impression. The metal
1:39build helps the tablet feel more premium
1:42than what its price tag might suggest.
1:44Now, onto the main event. The Teclast
1:46[music] Pad Plus 2 features a 12-in full
1:48HD Plus IPS TFT display with a 90 Hz
1:52refresh rate. The large screen is easily
1:54one of the biggest highlight of this
1:55tablet. Whether it’s watching movies,
1:58reading books, or catching up on comics,
2:00the wide display provided a comfortable
2:02viewing experience. The large canvas
2:04means less scrolling when reading and
2:06more screen real estate when consuming
2:08content. The 90 Hz refresh rate also
2:10helps make navigation feel smoother.
2:12Interestingly, it’s enabled by default
2:14and there doesn’t appear to be an option
2:16to switch between refresh rates within
2:18the settings. Brightness is rated at 450
2:21nits. Indoors, it’s perfectly usable,
2:23but don’t expect flagship level
2:25brightness when using it under direct
2:27[music] sunlight. The bezels are
2:29definitely noticeable. However, they
2:31don’t negatively affect the viewing
2:32experience too much. Viewing angles
2:34remain decent, making it easy to share
2:36content with another person without
2:38significant color shifting. Moving over
2:40to audio, the tablet comes equipped with
2:43quad stereo speakers. [music]
2:44Unfortunately, this ended up being one
2:47of the weaker aspects of the device.
2:49While vocals remain clear enough for
2:51movies, YouTube, and casual listening,
2:53the speakers aren’t particularly loud. I
2:56often found myself maxing out the volume
2:58when watching content. But even then,
3:00it’s not loud to my liking. Bass is also
3:03lacking and the overall sound feels
3:05somewhat compressed compared to what
3:07you’d expect from a tablet marketed for
3:09entertainment. The speakers get the job
3:11done, but they don’t fully take
3:13advantage of the large display’s
3:15media-focused nature. As for biometrics,
3:18there’s no fingerprint scanner. Security
3:20options are limited to traditional PIN,
3:22passcode, and pattern. The camera setup
3:25is fairly basic, consisting of an
3:278-megapixel rear camera and a
3:295-megapixel front. And honestly, that’s
3:31perfectly fine. Most people don’t buy
3:33tablets primarily for photography and
3:36the Teclast P Plus 2 performs exactly
3:38how you’d expect in this category.
3:40Photos are usable for documentation
3:42purposes, scanning receipts,
3:44digitalizing paperwork, and taking the
3:47occasional snapshot when needed. The
3:49front [music] camera is also sufficient
3:50for video calls, online meetings, and
3:52virtual classes. Neither camera is
3:54particularly impressive, but neither
3:57feels out of place for this type of
3:58device. They fulfill their intended
4:00purpose and a little [music] more. As
4:02for video, it’s all right and definitely
4:04usable for online meetings and classes.
4:07Nothing out of the ordinary for a
4:08tablet.
4:09>> [music]
4:18[music]
4:24>> Sample rear video of the Tech Life Pad
4:26Plus two using its rear camera.
4:29Here you go.
4:32Here are your colors
4:35and details, if there are details.
4:38Okay. So, this is a sample video of the
4:41Tech Life Pad Plus two using its front
4:43camera. So, here’s the quality.
4:46It’s really bright because
4:49uh the camera’s adjusting.
4:51But, what do you guys think? You like
4:53it? Is it good for video calls? Let us
4:55know in the comments section below.
4:56Powering the tablet is the MediaTek
4:58Helio G80
5:00paired with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of
5:03expandable storage. Here are our
5:05benchmark results.
5:12>> [music]
5:20[music]
5:22>> For everyday tasks, the tablet performs
5:25reasonably well. Browsing socials,
5:27streaming videos, reading ebooks,
5:29checking emails, and navigating through
5:31apps generally feels smooth enough.
5:32However, the limitations of the Helio
5:34G80
5:35become more noticeable when
5:37multitasking. Opening several heavy apps
5:39can result in occasional stutters, and
5:41apps tend to reload quite aggressively
5:43in the background. Gaming performance is
5:45similarly modest. Pokémon Unite is
5:47playable, but experiences occasional lag
5:49spikes. Mortal Kombat Mobile also runs,
5:52but can encounter stutters from time to
5:54time. Honkai Star Rail is technically
5:56playable, though you’ll want to stick to
5:58the lowest graphic settings for a more
6:00manageable experience. And for heavier
6:02titles, things become more
6:06problematic. [music]
6:07Both Wuthering Waves and Neverness to
6:09Everness could be installed, but in my
6:11experience, they crashed [music] every
6:13time I attempted to launch them. The
6:15good news is that the thermals remain
6:17fairly controlled. The tablet never
6:19became excessively hot during gaming
6:21sessions, making it comfortable to hold
6:23even in long sessions. Ultimately, this
6:26isn’t a gaming-focused tablet. It’s much
6:29better suited for media consumption, web
6:31browsing, reading, and other casual
6:33tasks. That’s about it. Software-wise,
6:35the Teclast Pad Plus 2 runs on Android
6:3716. One of the things I appreciated most
6:40is how clean the software experience
6:42feels. The tablet comes with very little
6:44bloatware, with most of the
6:45pre-installed being standard Google
6:48apps. This helps keep the interface
6:49uncluttered and easy to navigate. For
6:51users who want a straightforward Android
6:53experience, that’s [music] definitely
6:55nice to have. However, the software
6:57isn’t without its shortcomings. Oddly
6:59enough, there’s no split-screen support.
7:01There’s also no floating window
7:02functionality and no desktop-style PC
7:05mode. For a device with a large 12-in
7:07display, these drawbacks feel somewhat
7:09underwhelming. Tablets naturally lend
7:11themselves to multitasking, and having
7:14at least split-screen support would have
7:15made the device more useful for
7:17productivity. [music] Combined with the
7:19aggressive app reloading behavior, the
7:21tablet ends up feeling more focused on
7:23content consumption rather than serious
7:26multitasking. Connectivity options here
7:28include LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB
7:31Type-C. [music] Having LTE support is a
7:33welcome addition, especially for users
7:35who frequently travel or need internet
7:38access outside Wi-Fi coverage.
7:40Meanwhile, battery life is one of the
7:42stronger [music] areas of the tablet. In
7:43the PC Mark battery test, the tablet
7:46lasted 10 hours and 14 minutes. In our
7:48video loop test, it lasted 11 hours and
7:5138 minutes of up time. These results
7:53align nicely with the tablet’s intended
7:55purpose as a media consumption device.
7:58It can comfortably stretch across an
7:59entire day without constantly searching
8:02for a charger. Charging, however, is a
8:04different story. The tablet only
8:05supports 18 watts charging. [music] It
8:07definitely feels slow for a device
8:09carrying a 9,000 mA battery. During my
8:12testing, it took nearly 2 hours to reach
8:14a full charge from 19%. It’s not
8:17unbearably slow, but faster charging
8:20would have been appreciated. The Teclast
8:22Pad Plus 2 isn’t trying to be a gaming
8:24powerhouse or a productivity monster,
8:27and that’s perfectly okay. Instead, it
8:29feels like a tablet designed for people
8:31who want a large screen for
8:32entertainment. Whether it’s watching
8:34movies, binge-watching series, reading
8:36comics, catching up on novels, browsing
8:39social media, or attending the
8:40occasional online meeting, the tablet
8:43handles those tasks comfortably. The
8:44sturdy metal build, the large display,
8:47LTE support, [music] clean Android
8:49experience, and respectable battery life
8:51all work in its favor. Not to mention
8:53the expandable storage. At the same
8:55time, there are compromises. The speaker
8:57could be louder, gaming performance is
8:59limited, charging feels slow,
9:02multitasking features are surprisingly
9:03absent, and apps tend to reload more
9:06often than I’d like. At 14,999,
9:09the Teclast Pad Plus 2 makes the most
9:11sense for users looking for an
9:12affordable large screen entertainment
9:14tablet, rather than a device for
9:16demanding games or heavy multitasking.
9:19If your idea of tablet use revolves
9:20around movies, videos, comics, ebooks,
9:23and everyday browsing, then the Teclast
9:25Pad Plus 2 does enough to justify a
9:28place on your short [music] list. So,

9:31Plus 2 so far? Let us know in the
