TechLife Pad Plus 12: Top Features That Make It a Must-Have Tablet
On-the-go workers and remote hustlers would agree: there are days when you just feel like working in a nice cafe without the hassle of bringing your laptop with you. It's a good thing that there are good tech alternatives to laptops that allow you to have a productive day just the same. What's even better is that some decent options don't come with a hefty price. Enter: TechLife Pad Plus 12".
Considered as a neophyte in the tablet market, TechLife launched its debut tablet offering just last year when it revealed the TechLife Pad, priced at P8,999. Roughly a year after and with a few more new releases in between, the brand brought to the competition its most upgraded tablet yet – the TechLife Pad Plus 12".
Among its strong suits, as its name suggests, is its 12-inch massive screen. Just an inch away from the normal 13-inch sizes of laptops, the TechLife Pad Plus 12" offers a generous digital canvas for work and play.

For an affordable tablet, its display department boasts must-haves, including a WUXGA+ IPS screen with a 2K resolution (2000 x 1200).
Its 85% screen-to-body ratio means that while there are noticeable bezels, the display itself is enough for multitasking and immersive viewing. With a 180Hz touch sampling rate, the TechLife Pad Plus 12" quickly responds to touches and swipes.
Even at an affordable price point, the TechLife Pad Plus 12" presents itself with a premium look. Clad in a zinc alloy body with a metal finish, it joins the ranks of devices worth flaunting around for its sleek design.
Its internals are also capable enough for it to be a decent laptop alternative. It has a MediaTek Helio G91 octa-core processor, a mid-range chipset specifically designed to deliver efficient performance and gaming capabilities for budget tablets and smartphones.

Combined with other technicalities such as a 16GB RAM and 256GB storage expandable up to 1TB, the TechLife Pad Plus 12" can seamlessly handle day-to-day tasks including web browsing, using productivity applications for work, sending emails, video editing, casual gaming, and binge-watching.
TechLife's proprietary Pad UI on top of Android 15 works seamlessly with Google Gemini AI functions, making artificial intelligence even more accessible for tech consumers. We'll talk more about the tablet's AI features in our full review.
Even video calls are impressive on the TechLife Pad Plus 12". Its 8-megapixel front camera provides just the right visuals for online meetings. Using tablets for photography is unconventional for some, but for those who don't mind using a large slate to take images, the 13-megapixel rear camera on the TechLife Pad Plus 12" takes social media-ready photos.
Battery capacity is another key benefit that the TechLife Pad Plus 12" offers with 8,000mAh. This is an obvious upgrade from the brand's previous tablets, with TechLife Pad Neo powered by a 6,000mAh unit and the TechLife Pad with 7,000mAh.
The TechLife Pad Plus 12" also comes with an 18W fast-charging support via USB-C, a feature usually common to higher-end devices. It can also be used as a powerbank for other electronics as it has a 5W reverse charging feature.
Available in Storm Grey, Sky Blue, and Moonlight Silver, the TechLife Pad Plus 12" retails for P9,999, with a special introductory price of P7,699. Get to know more about this device in our full review.
