Excellent price on this tablet from Lenovo packed with features and a lot cheaper than the previous deal. It's the successor to the XiaoXin Pad (Tab P11 in Australia) and has a heap of improvements that makes it so much better. As per the title this has Widevine L1 DRM so Netflix/Prime will be in FHD.

Techtablets did an indepth review with the only downsides being no 3.5mm audio jack and slow face unlocking. ETA Prime's review shows the gaming capabilities.

Furthermore it packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G that's typically on par with a Snapdragon 845 making it a good mid-range CPU perfect for gaming. It supports PC mode (similar to Samsung Dex) with USB-C video out and can be used with a keyboard/touchpad case.

Other features include Android 11 support with Google Play, 11.5" 2.5K OLED display with 500nits & 100% sRGB, 6GB RAM, 128GB storage (expandable), 8400mAh battery (supports quick charge) and JBL speakers.

      You can import a Samsung Galaxy Tab P205 or a Tab 8.4 2020 from overseas for under $300. Their SoCs are midrange at best and they have good FHD IPS displays.

      • SeekerNZ on 14/11/2021 - 19:11

        Hi Wizko, where would you recommend importing a P205 from nowadays please?

        • wizko on 15/11/2021 - 19:56

          The hard truth is there aren't any good 8" tablets, but the P205 is arguably the best one that does exist.

          I used to have one 2 years back and it was a great little machine, but sold it as I realised I'm not really a tablet person.

          If you need an 8" tablet, P205 is very much the way to go IMO, it supports the S Pen as well. Also supports SIM card with data and calling so can use as a secondary phone if needed.

          Hope that helps :)

    Food for thought,

    Nokia T20 is coming soon.
    Lenovo Duet OLED is also coming soon.

    • Clear on 08/10/2021 - 21:31

      Nokia T20 has the Unisoc Tiger T610 CPU and that's a lower clocked version of the T618, so the Alldocube/Teclast tablets will beat that one easily.

      Lenovo Duet is a 13.3" Chromebook so I'd consider that to be a whole different ballgame.

      • Mobe1969 on 12/10/2021 - 14:35

        Yeah I'm a bit disappointed with the specs on the Nokia as I love the brand now thanks to them using Android One. I wish they'd put more ram in it also. I mean it'd have been a lot better if they'd used same cpu and ram as their X20, although still nowhere near as good as the lenovo.

      • Wystri Warrick on 08/10/2021 - 21:44

        Haha by far! Can't wait for it to arrive.

        I later thought that the Alldocube probably wouldn't work for me as it's stuck on Android 9. My uni text books are on the Cengage and Vital Source Bookshelf apps, and so they probably don't have apps for Android 9.

          Oh man that's bringing it back to my days at Uni where there were like no apps for any of our text books. I used to rock the classic Nexus 7 2012 and it fit perfectly into my pocket. Had a little keyboard case from GeekBuying and it was excellent.

          • Wystri Warrick on 08/10/2021 - 21:56

              @Wystri Warrick: The NVIDIA Tegra 3 CPU in it was seriously impressive. Back then all the phones had the dual-core Snapdragon S4 CPUs, while others had a Texas Instruments OMAP CPU. TI is certainly a brand you don't see in phones anymore.

              Chinese phones back then were booming with dozens of brands. So many are gone now. They were good times.

    I also recommend the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021 version with snapdragon 870 chip. I've had mine for a couple months now. It absolutely flies. SD 870 is the way, & Android 11 out of the gate. It's the first time I've not been disappointed with an Android tablet. Bought it off Giztop for about AU$712 total/delivered. Now costs AU$689.47 from there, or $659.42 from AliExpress.

    The only negative i can think of, is that, despite being able to download Google Play store, some apps it won't let you install. It will say something like "app not supported on this particular device". I have nearly all my usual apps installed, though.

    Other than that, love watching media on it. The screen is nice, & the quad speakers/audio are excellent. PC mode was a lot of fun to play around with. I bought a usb c to hdmi dongle & was able to connect it to tv with mouse/keyboard & external drives to it. I could scrub through videos on it at speed, i was very impressed.

      Admittedly I based that off the previous deal. It would seem that the 730G single core performance is closer to an 845 but not multicore. Also nothing that the 730G is an overclocked version of the 730 in the V30.

            On paper, it might look these mid range CPUs have caught up but they are still no match for the high-end processors.

            Battery life is better on the mid range processor however.

        Some people like iOS and the way it works.

        Personally I dislike iOS. Cannot even do simple connect to PC / drag and drop music/movies over. Or can't load in custom APKs. It's too walled off for my liking.

    Worth waiting for the 2021 pro version to drop down in price?
    - tempted as its $800~ all up including keyboard

      If you're not in dire need of a tablet it might be worth waiting. I'm hoping the next AliExpress sitewide sale (Singles Day/Black Friday in November) there will be some good coupons to drop it much lower.

        Good point on the upcoming events, thanks for reminding me!

        I started watching a few reviews on this and the recent Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro as soon as I was tempted to buy this haha

    I've been using one of these for a while and it's amazing for media and gaming, but I would stay away if you are planning on getting one as a reader.

    It uses a pentile OLED screen which means that text always looks blurry. It's not a deal breaker for casual use but it's obvious enough that if you were to look at it all the time it would bug you.

      Do you know if the non-pro is pentile also? It has a slightly lower res screen.

        Non Pro would be the Tab P11 and that's not OLED so there's no pentile display.

    I wish there was something ipad mini 6 size with decent speca.

      Everyone seems to have abandoned that size market. Huawei used to make killer 8.4" tablets with 1600p screens up until they got Trump'd. Samsung A8 would be the best non ios tab out right now
