Set up and streaming impressions

Getting started with Xbox Remote Play on the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro was straightforward. After syncing the tablet with my Xbox Series S and pairing a controller, via USB, I was quickly inside my library, ready to test out some titles.

The 12.6-inch AMOLED display immediately stood out. Colors popped, blacks looked much deeper, and everything felt far richer than I initially expected from a tablet doubling as a gaming monitor.

Performance: Smooth, stable, with low latency

The screenshot below tells the story… Initially a test image from Disney Dreamlight Valley, which made me even more intrigued to test out other games. Here are the stats:

• Resolution: 1920 × 1080
• FPS: 60
• Ping: 17ms
• Bitrate: 11.0 Mbps
• Jitter: 1ms
• Packet Loss: 0%

This combination means gaming feels as smooth as playing directly on the console. The 60 FPS makes a huge difference in responsiveness, while the low ping ensures input delay is minimal. No noticeable stuttering, no dropped frames, and zero packet loss — it’s about as good as streaming gets.

Game-by-game testing

Assassin’s Creed Shadows

One of the more demanding titles, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, ran beautifully. The streaming handled the open-world environments without artifacting, and the AMOLED panel delivered sharp contrast during stealth missions at night.

Roblox

Roblox is far less demanding; however, it showcased how well the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro handles lighter graphics loads. Movement was fluid, and each input was instantaneous, and my experience mirrored native console play.

Fortnite

Fast-paced and competitive, Fortnite is often the real test for input lag. Here, the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro impressed: aiming felt responsive, and the building mechanics worked seamlessly, even though I prefer Zero Build, and I never felt disadvantaged by streaming.

Minecraft

Minecraft’s blocky environments looked crisp on the AMOLED display. The tablet handled quick movements and multiplayer sessions without a sweat… proving its reliability for casual gaming.

Graphics and display quality

The 12.6-inch AMOLED display at 2K resolution (2560 × 1600 natively) makes a huge difference in how games look. While Remote Play streams at 1080p, the upscale is sharp and vibrant. HDR content particularly shines, adding depth to games much like Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Internet stability and streaming strength

Remote Play lives and dies by internet stability, and in this test, the numbers were excellent. With 17 ms ping and zero packet loss, the stream maintained a consistent bitrate of 11 Mbps, proving that a strong network makes all the difference.
