Lenovo Unveils Updated Tab P11, P11 Pro Tablets to Compete With iPad
Lenovo on Thursday introduced a pair of midrange Android tablets that it hopes will steal market share from Apple's popular iPad. The second-generation Tab P11 and Tab P11 Pro closely resemble last year's models, but include several updates that should appeal to anyone looking to upgrade from an Amazon Fire or any other cheap tablet.
The new Tab P11 and P11 Pro share only the most basic design elements and specs. They're both standard slates with 11-inch screens that include new blue light filters to help reduce eye strain. Cameras adorn the front and rear of the tablets, though Lenovo hasn't spelled out their resolutions or features. Perhaps most significantly, both models run the Lenovo Freestyle software; this allows you to link the devices with Windows-based Lenovo PCs to create a portable second-screen experience.
The heartier P11 Pro tablet features an 11.2-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2,560 by 1,536 pixels. It supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+ and covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. You also get four JBL-tuned Dolby Atmos speakers, which should make this tablet excellent for entertainment. With up to a 120Hz refresh rate and a 360Hz touch response rate, the P11 Pro should provide a smooth visual experience that's ideal for mobile gaming, too. Brightness reaches a peak of 600 nits.
A MediaTek Kompanio 1300T processor powers the device. You choose between 4GB, 6GB, or 8GB of RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of storage. There's no microSD card slot, however, unlike last year's model. Lenovo says the 8,000mAh battery should provide up to 14 hours of battery life. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 6 are included for wireless connectivity, while the USB-C 3.0 port supports an alternate DisplayPort output mode.
