Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 2025 android 16 update
Latest OS update is ZUI 17.5.10.057 android 16
Before I was in ZUI 17.0.04.184 android 15
The latest update came on March 11, 2026 and I'm already late for the party.
There are a lot of improvements since I updated and here are some off the top of my head:
PROS:
Read/ Writes to my sd card got quicker all of a sudden
Floating windows are more smoother and can be minimized extremely
The reddit app improved for me, I had this problem where scrolling on the sides weren't possible because the posts were all narrow. Now its still narrow but I can scroll on the dead areas now
Toggleable landscape mode options for each app
When you go to home, the floating apps DO NOT DISAPPEAR FINALLY, i had this problem for a long time and now its fixed. Sometimes they still disappear though when I access the settings menu.
Larger grid available for homescreen (old one was too small)
The small game bar option on the side that shows up when you're playing a game is finally gone (good riddance)
Floating app manager gives you an option to set each app to resize freely or proportionally
Minimize and Close is available for each active app on the top
CONS:
The cool charging screensavers are gone 😦
Private space has this problem where if you opt to use a different login i.e. number combination or 4-16 digit, the keyboard won't ever show up so you can't go in
The option to disable physical keyboard combos are gone. i.e. before i could disable Alt+Tab because it was causing problems for me, now that option is gone.
Noticeable lag when doing backspace on the touchscreen keyboard (gboard) when using the search bar in the settings menu
OVERALL, it's a good update, most of the nitpicks i had from android 15 are gone and made me love this tablet even more.
I just wanted to write this down as a log of some sort. Thanks for reading 😁.
