Lenovo became one of the most important tablet manufacturers after releasing several high-end models. This year, the company came up with a new value for money tablet with very interesting specifications and an affordable price: the Lenovo Tab P11 Gen 2: it is a very good upgrade of the original Tab P11 and it adds a few nice specifications great for today’s users. It is time for us to compare it to one of the best tablets in terms of quality price ratio released this year: the Redmi Pad. Another device with great performance, well-balanced specifications, and an amazing price tag. If you want to discover all of the differences between these two Android tablets, go ahead with the comparison between the main specifications of the Redmi Pad and the Lenovo Tab P11 Gen 2.

Xiaomi Redmi Pad vs Lenovo Tab P11 Gen 2

Design

Before the design, the most important aesthetic thing of a tablet is the dimension: the Lenovo Tab P11 Gen 2 is bigger and better for productivity thanks to its wider display, while the Redmi Pad is more compact and better to use everywhere, even on a train and other means of transport. If you are ok with big dimensions, we recommend the Lenovo tablet because it has a more beautiful design. As you have probably seen in the picture, it has a higher screen to body ratio, with narrower bezels around the display. Further, its camera module is smaller and less invasive. The Redmi Pad is not an ugly tablet, tough, and it is built with an aluminum frame improving the build quality and the resistance of the device. Further, it is not only more compact but also thinner and lighter than its rival.

Display

If you need the best viewing quality, then you should choose the Redmi Pad. It has an IPS LCD display able to show up to one billion colors with a diagonal of 10.61 inches, a Full HD Plus resolution of 1200 x 2000 pixels, a 90 Hz refresh rate, and a typical brightness of 400 nits. It is not an OLED panel, so it does not provide stunning colors and deep blacks like the high-end phones, but it is still a great display in terms of color reproduction, and it also offers a smoother experience thanks to the high refresh rate. The Lenovo Tab P11 Gen 2 has a wider 11.5-inch display and its bigger dimensions are very important for productivity. It even supports the stylus for handwriting and drawing, unlike its opponent. However, it is inferior in terms of image quality. It has a Full HD Plus resolution of 1200 x 2000 pixels, a standard 60 Hz refresh rate, and a typical brightness of 400 nits. These tablets are equipped with four stereo speakers and they provide a 3.5 mm audio jack.

Specs & Software

If we exclude the most affordable configurations and we consider the most expensive ones, these two tablets have exactly the same hardware department. They are fueled by the MediaTek Helio G99 mobile platform: a midrange chipset built with a 6 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture. The chipset is composed of two Cortex A76 cores running at a max frequency of 2.2 GHz, six Cortex A55 cores running at 2 GHz, and a Mali G57 MC2. Alongside the SoC, there are up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of native storage, you can furtherly expand with a micro SD slot. There is an important difference in the software department: unlike the Redmi Pad, the Lenovo Tab P11 runs Android 12L, a special version of the green robot optimized for tablets. The Redmi runs Android 12 customized by MIUI 13 like Xiaomi phones released in 2022.

Camera

The Lenovo Tab P11 Gen 2 provides a better camera on the rear side, with a 13 MP resolution and an f/2.4 focal aperture. The sensor is paired with a LED flash and is able to record 1080p videos. The Redmi Pad has an inferior 8 MP rear camera and both tablets come with an 8 MP front camera.

Battery

Despite having smaller dimensions, the Redmi Pad is equipped with a bigger battery. Thanks to the bigger capacity and the presence of a smaller display, it lasts more on a single charge.

Price

The starting price of the Redmi Pad roughly translates into $250 or €250, while you need about €350 or $350 for the Lenovo Tab P11 Gen 2. Which one would you pick?

This year Lenovo released a lot of premium tablets: in the Android world, it is the company that came up with the highest number of new devices in the tablet niche. Earlier this month, the Chinese giant released the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro 5G and the Lenovo Tab P11 5G: two models with 5G support and high-end specifications born to please power users and those who can not afford an iPad. This is an internal comparison that will highlight the differences between the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro 5G and the Lenovo Tab P11 5G.

Lenovo Tab P12 Pro 5G vs Lenovo Tab P11 5G

Design

The Lenovo Tab P12 Pro 5G is a premium tablet built with solid materials: it is made of aluminum and it comes with very narrow bezels around the display. It is a device meant for productivity and gaming, so for those who want to use it as a PC as well. That is the reason why you can attach a physical keyboard to it. The tablet even comes with stylus support for handwriting and drawing. It is very thin: the thickness is just 5.6 mm and it makes the Lenovo P12 Pro 5G one of the thinnest tablets out there. The Lenovo Tab P11 5G is thicker, but it has a more compact body because it comes with a smaller display. It is built with cheaper materials, but it supports a stylus and a physical keyboard as well. The borders around the display are thicker as well, but the tablet still offers a high screen to body ratio.

Display

The display of the Lenovo P12 Pro 5G is way better if compared to the panel of the Lenovo P11 5G. It is an AMOLED panel with a wider 12.6-inch diagonal, a Quad HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, and Dolby Vision support. Besides being superior to the Lenovo P11 5G, this is one of the most advanced displays in the tablet market, even better than the Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 series. If you want a display at the same level, you must go either for an iPad or for one of the most expensive Samsung Galaxy Tabs. For authentication, the Lenovo P12 Pro 5G relies on a side-mounted fingerprint reader or a TOF sensor for 3D facial recognition, while Lenovo P11 5G has just the TOF 3D sensor.

Specs & Software

In terms of the hardware department, Lenovo P12 Pro 5G is a flagship tablet, while the Lenovo P11 5G is a mid-ranger. The P12 Pro has a Snapdragon 870 mobile platform, up to 8 GB of RAM, and up to 256 GB of internal storage. You get the very same memory configurations with the Lenovo P11 5G, but the processor is the Snapdragon 750G. Both chipsets support 5G connectivity, but the former is much more powerful. The tablets run Android 11 out of the box.

Camera

Lenovo Tab P12 Pro 5G and P11 5G are equipped with a 13 MP main camera. The Tab P12 Pro 5G adds a 5 MP secondary ultrawide sensor, while the P11 5G does not have it. On the front side, both the tablets pack an 8 MP main camera and an 8 MP TOF 3D sensor for 3D facial recognition. The camera performances are not different, given that the ultrawide camera is the only difference between the two tablets.

Battery

Thanks to its bigger dimensions, the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro 5G is able to house a bigger battery with a capacity of 10,020 mAh. It even supports a faster charging technology with a power of 45W. The P11 5G has just 7700 mAh and 20W fast charging. So you get both longer battery life and faster charging speeds.

Price

The Lenovo Tab P12 Pro 5G will be available in the U.S. from October starting from $610, while in Europe it will cost €899. The Lenovo Tab P11 5G is heading to the European markets with a starting price of €499. While the tablets are pretty similar when it comes to the cameras, there are deep differences in the other aspects such as displays, hardware, and battery. Naturally, the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro 5G is a way better device. But there is also an important price difference between the two models. Which one would you pick?

Lenovo Tab P11 Specifications and Features

The Lenovo Tab P11 is a rebranded Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad. Hence, it has the exact same set of specs.

The tablet flaunts an 11-inch IPS LCD TDDI (Touch and Display Driver Integration) panel with a resolution of 2000 x 1200 pixels (2K), 400 nits peak brightness, and anti-fingerprint coating. This TÜV Rheinland-certified (low blue light emission) screen also supports stylus input.

Further, the device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 SoC coupled with 4GB LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB UFS 2.1 storage. As for software, it runs Android 10 and features Google Kids Space.

On the connectivity front, the product comes with a single SIM card slot for 4G connectivity, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.1, USB Type-C port, and a 4-point pogo pin for an optional keyboard accessory. It also has a MicroSD card slot (up to 1TB) and essential sensors like an accelerometer, ambient light sensor, compass, gyroscope, vibrator, and a ToF (Time-of-Flight) sensor for face unlock.

The post Lenovo Tab P11 launched in India six months after its initial announcement appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

The post The Lenovo Tab P11 arrives months after the pro version appeared first on Gizmochina.

Lenovo plans to launch the Tab P11 Pro in China as the Xiaoxin Pad Pro. The manufacturer has also confirmed there will be a standard version called the Xiaoxin Pad. We believe this standard version will be the same tablet that will launch as the Lenovo Tab P11 in other markets.

Yesterday, Lenovo China published the spec sheet for the Xiaoxin Pad Pro and Xiaoxin Pad. Since we already know that of the Pro model since it is just a rebadged Tab P11 Pro, the specs of the standard Xiaoxin Pad are what we will focus on since they should be the same specs for the Lenovo Tab P11.

The Xiaoxin Pad will come with an 11.0-inch TDDI LCD display with a 2000 x 1200 resolution and 400 nits of brightness. It has uniform bezels on all sides but they are not as thin as those of the Pro model.

Under the hood is a Snapdragon 662 processor and it is paired with 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.1 expandable storage. The tablet also has an 8MP selfie camera and a TOF camera for face unlock while a single 13MP camera sits on the back.

The Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad has four 1W speakers but they are not JBL speakers like those of the pro model. However, they have Dolby Atmos. It doesn’t have a fingerprint scanner too which the Xiaoxin Pad Pro has buried in its power button. The Xiaoxin Pad has an IP52 rating and support for a pressure-sensitive stylus with 4096 pressure points and a keyboard dock. There is a 7700mAh battery powering it and it supports 20W charging via a USB-C port.

Lenovo will unveil the Xioxin tablets in China on October 20, but a date for the Lenovo Tab P11 is still unknown. We hope it arrives before the Pro model goes on sale next month.

The post Published Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad specs tell us what to expect for the Tab P11 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Lenovo is one of the few companies that sell Android tablets. In late August, the company announced its high-end tablet for the year 2020 called Tab P11 Pro alongside entry-level Tab M10 HD Gen 2 and Lenovo Smart Clock Essential. Now, over a month later, the vanilla Tab P11 gets listed on Google Play Console and Google Supported Devices list.

Lenovo Android tablets are usually cheaper than the Samsung models. However, they also feature inferior specifications at times. Unfortunately, this seems to be the case with the upcoming Tab P11 as well, at least in terms of chipset.

Because according to its Google Play Console listing (via @stufflistings), it will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 unlike Galaxy Tab A7, which comes with Snapdragon 662. Whereas, on the plus side, the Lenovo tablet is listed with 4GB RAM, opposed to 3GB RAM in the Samsung model.

The listing also reveals it to sport an unknown sized display with a resolution of 1200 x 2000 pixels. Also, It is said to run Android 10 out of the box. Further, Google Supported Devices list confirms its model number to be TB-J606F (via @techpreacher8).

Sadly, that’s all the information available about the forthcoming Lenovo Tab P11 at the moment. Anyway, we expect this tablet to launch soon in the coming days.
