Last August, Lenovo announced the Tab P11 Pro, a Snapdragon 730G-powered tablet with a 2K OLED display and JBL speakers. The tablet was later announced in China as the Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro alongside a standard version, the Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad. Now, Lenovo has brought the latter to global markets as the Lenovo Tab P11.
With respect to design, the Lenovo Tab P11 and Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad are identical. So you get a tablet with an aluminum-alloy chassis with moderate bezels and the option to choose from Slate Gray or Platinum Gray.
The Lenovo Tab P11 has an 11-inch 2K display (2000 x 1200) IPS LCD display with an Eye Care mode certified by TÜV Rheinland. Powering it is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 662 processor with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage. There is also a 4GB RAM + 64GB version that is not available in China.

On the back of the tablet is a 13MP camera while an 8MP camera is in front for video calls and the occasional selfies you may want to take with a tablet of this size. Lenovo has added a Smart Privacy feature that blurs your background during video calls (should come in handy for apps that don’t have a background blur feature baked in).
While a laptop of this size is excellent for watching movies and shows (certified to stream Netflix in HD), Lenovo wants you to also be able to use it for some serious work too. So there is an optional slim keyboard that has a trackpad that attaches nicely to the tablet for typing that document or blog post and its magnetic cover has a kickstand that helps complete the transformation into a 2-in-1. You can also pick up the Lenovo Precision Pen 2 stylus that has 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity. The stylus has a battery life of up to 200 hours and charges via USB-C.
The tablet has Wi-Fi 6, LTE, Bluetooth 5.1, an audio jack, Dolby Atmos quad speakers, and a USB-C port. It packs a 7700mAh battery with support for 20W fast charging. It ships with Android 10 which is not surprising, but we hope it gets upgraded to Android 11. It comes pre-loaded with Microsoft Office apps. And if you want to hand it over to your kid, there is Google’s Kids Space available on it.
Other accessories available for the Lenovo Tab P11 include the Lenovo Smart Charging Station 2 which is practically a dock that allows for hands-free moving watching while charging (or you can just get a case with a kickstand). There is also a folio case with a modern fabric design.
Lenovo says the tablet will start at $229.99 and can already be purchased now but the Lenovo US store says it is coming soon. The prices for the accessories were not revealed.
