Do I need a keyboard and stylus for a large-screen tablet?

If there’s one final flourish that makes the P11 Pro worth considering, it’s the battery life. Put through our standard video-rundown test, with flight mode on and the screen set to a brightness of 170cd/m², it lasted for a total of 17hrs 28mins. In context, that’s a whole five hours longer than the iPad Air. If all-day use is important to you, the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro is an excellent choice for an even better price.

Screen quality Whether it's Full HD, 4K, or even sub-HD, our tests gauge how clear the screen is, how well it handles bright sunlight, and if it stands up to being viewed at an angle. Samsung's Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is by and large (pun intended) the tablet with the biggest display on our list.
