Blackview has unveiled the Zeno 2, a compact tablet running Android 16 with an 8.68-inch display, 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, according to Notebookcheck. The company presents the device as suited to reading and everyday use.
Display and internal hardware
The Zeno 2 uses an 8.68-inch IPS panel with a resolution of 1,340 × 800 pixels. Blackview lists an 85% screen-to-body ratio and a 4.27mm bezel. The screen includes reading mode, dark mode and night light, and holds TÜV SÜD low-blue-light certification.
Under the hood sits a Unisoc Tiger T310 with four cores running at up to 2.0GHz, combined with a PowerVR GE8300 GPU, a chip built to handle many calculations at once for graphics and AI. The tablet ships with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, which a microSD card can extend by up to 2TB.
Software, connectivity and further features
The Zeno 2 runs Android 16 and includes Split Screen 2.0, letting users show two apps side by side. WPS Office comes preinstalled for documents, spreadsheets and presentations. Blackview lists Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 but has not confirmed whether a cellular version will follow.
Other features include an 8MP rear camera, a 5MP front camera, dual speakers, a USB-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack and face recognition for unlocking. A 5,000mAh battery powers the device, and its IP54 rating guards against dust and water splashes.
Comparison with a Xiaomi tablet
According to the report, a Xiaomi tablet relies on a MediaTek Helio G85 processor where the Zeno 2 uses the Unisoc chip.
