FAQ:

Why so many versions of TB132FU and why so much confusion about the Android system, updates, etc?​

There are currently 3 systems available for the tablet known as TB132FU and is really important to find which one you have.

Fake Global version - Modified Android 12

Official International version - Official Android 12 or latest by Lenovo international

Chinese version - Zui 14 based on Android 12 or latest by Lenovo China

But why so many versions then? The Chinese model is apparently cheaper than the international version, so Chinese sellers are selling online the Chinese model with a modified android version to look like the international version.

How to identify which version of TB132FU I have? By the seller:​

If you purchased your tablet online from china like on Aliexpress or from a seller that sells items from china, you most likely have the “Fake” Global version.

If you purchased your tablet on Lenovos’s website or a certified local or national seller in your country, you most likely have the International version. This version usually costs more.

If you purchased from china or anywhere else, but your tablet has a Chinese interface, you have the Chinese version running ZUI 14 or latest.

How to identify which version of TB132FU I have? By the system version:​

To make sure which one you have you can also do the following:

On your tablet go to SETTINGS > ABOUT DEVICE > and find your system version.

If it starts with TB132FU_S3 you have the Chinese version running an unofficial android version. The number S3 confirms it’s a modified OS. You will never get any updates.

If it says TB132FU_S0 you have the official international version. This is the official version, so you already have the best compatible system for your tablet. You will get official updates.

If you open the settings and see on the About device menu the system version ZUI, well you have the chinese official device and system.

Can I convert my Chinese TB132FU into the international version?​

The answer currently is no. Why? To keep it short: There is a code inside your tablet saying “This is the Chinese tablet” and because of this code you can't install the international android system. Maybe in the future, someone from the community will be able to find that code and change it so the tablet thinks it is the international version.

Can I convert my Official Lenovo-bought TB132FU to the Chinese version to use ZUI?​

Same as the answer above. We need to find the code and how to modify it first.

Can I use Lenovo’s Rescue and Smart Assistant software to convert my Chinese TB132FU into the international version?​

No. You will brick your device if you try to update your system using this tool.
