ProCase Keyboard Case for Lenovo Tab P11 11-inch Full HD Tablet 2020, Folio Keyboard Case Cover with Magnetically Detachable Wireless Keyboard –Black

Product Information

In all, the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro feels more than worth its price tag - while simultaneously being tough enough to take a few bashes and keep on going. Lenovo Tab P11 Pro: display While the front-facing camera is arguably more important for tablet owners, the Tab P11 Plus does only an acceptable job here. On video calls, the picture looks blown out even in good light, while in lower light, the camera produces a very flat image with noticeable noise. A Long Wait for Android 12 The MediaTek Helio G90T used in the Tab 11 Plus is an SoC manufactured in a 12 nm process. The Helio G90 series from the Taiwanese manufacturer is intended to appeal to gamers in particular and consists of an octa-CPU core array. Two high-performance Cortex-A76 cores contrast a Cortex-A55 cluster that is used for power-saving tasks. A Mali-G76 MP4 serves as the graphics unit.

Lenovo Tab P11 Plus review: Budget Android tablet with stylus

Try as we could, across multiple days of use, it proved nigh-on impossible to kill. With mixed light to medium use we were able to coax around 10 hours of screen-on time from the device, which is impressive. The included 6GB of RAM is enough to keep a few apps in memory without an issue, and the 128GB of storage should last most users at least a few years. As with any decision when it comes to tablets, deciding between the Lenovo Tab P11 Plus vs. Lenovo Tab P11 Pro all comes down to how you plan to use it. If you're looking for a good tablet that the whole family can use, you'll want one of the best Android tablets for kids. So, it might be worth it to wait for the Lenovo Tab P11 Plus, particularly if it sells for around the same price as the P11 Pro. The dedicated Google Kids Space adds tons of value in that your little one can get their own curated experience while you can still use the tablet with a separate login and access your own selection of apps. If you tend to watch a lot of movies and TV shows on a tablet, you might appreciate the Entertainment Space, too. There’s also the matter of app availability. If your work is primarily done through the G Suite you’ll be fine, but Android is still not widely compatible with a host of essential apps in various industries. For writing on the go or for drawing work with the pleasant Lenovo pen, this will work in a pinch, but it works far better as a media player than a workhorse.

Surprisingly Good Performance

Though the interface is mostly stable, apps are the problem. Most commonly, these are not optimized for the tablet form factor. These apps ‘expect’ to open on a smartphone, and the program window is sized accordingly, with no way to go full screen. More often than not these apps will also refuse to work in a landscape orientation, which is an inconvenience when using the keyboard especially.

Verdict on the Lenovo Tab P11 Plus

The Lenovo Tab P11 Plus is powered by a MediaTek Helio G90T processor and will run most apps that you throw at it. For my daily use, which included watching videos curated by Android's Entertainment Space, looking up recipes, web browsing, and solving the day's Wordle, the Tab P11 Plus handled it all like a champ. It was only when I began playing graphics-intensive games such as Asphalt 9 and Iron Blade that the tablet started to show signs of weakness. Running the TechRadar battery test (a full resolution video on Wi-Fi at max brightness for 90 minutes), the device dropped from 100% to 91%, which is a strong showing overall. A nice addition too is the inclusion of a relatively fast charger in the box. Charging an 8,600mAh battery is a considerable undertaking, so this kind of charger is almost compulsory. Both shortcomings affect everyday operation and impair user experience significantly. Nevertheless, we believe that there's good reason to hope that both problems will be solved with future updates. After all, a 1200p display running at 60 Hz shouldn't push the MediaTek Helio G90T to its performance limits in simple applications. The Lenovo Tab P11 Pro is clearly intended for two very specific use cases. One is as a replacement TV, to be a sofa buddy during long winter evenings. Its shape, its aspect ratio and more conform to this - though not every aspect does.

Lenovo Tab P11 Plus review | ZDNET

Lenovo, please polish your software a bit more; this will turn the Tab P11 Plus into a very good tablet for budget-conscious users. The mid-range tablet has a nice feel, and at less than 500 grams, it's comfortable to hold considering it's an 11-inch device. The case is only 7.5 millimeters thin, and it houses the plastic buttons as well as the slot for the memory and SIM card, which is flush with the bezel. In general, it should be praised that the Tab P11 Plus is in no way inferior to its partly much more expensive competition when it comes to the workmanship and stability of the chassis. The obvious question when manufacturers offer these bundles of tablet, keyboard and magnetic stand is whether or not they can adequately replace a laptop, and – bar a few frustrations – the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro succeeds. Android automatically detects if a keyboard is attached and slips into Productivity mode, which is remarkably similar to Chrome OS. Your open apps appear as icons in the taskbar, and switching between them is as simple as a prod on the screen.The P11 Pro comes with an older Android 10 operating system while the P11 Plus comes loaded with Android 11 so you'll get the latest and greatest features out of the box. The P11 Pro also comes with Bluetooth 5.0 versus the latest Bluetooth 5.1, which you'll find in the new P11 Plus. This could potentially result in a better connectivity experience, depending on how and where you use the tablet and if you plan to connect Bluetooth devices. The base model is available with Wi-Fi only, while a more expensive model is available with LTE via an included SIM tray. Memory and RAM configurations are standard, there are no options with either more storage or RAM. Lenovo Tab P11 Pro: design The question has been asked again and again: who takes photos on a tablet? Clearly there is an audience, otherwise rear cameras on tablets would have gone the way of the dinosaurs. With a single-core score of 527 and a multi-core score of 1,614 on Geekbench 5, performance is very roughly analogous to the flagship Snapdragon 845 from 2018.
