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.

    How are these (or android tablets in general) compared to iPad for this use case:

    • locking / unlocking tablet frequently and swapping apps frequently?

    I walk around all day and lock/unlock my tablet and switch between apps frequently. Tried this on Surface Go 2 ME and the lag was unbearable (esp. pressing the button and unlocking the tablet)

    My iPad mini 6 on the other hand is instaneous in both areas.

    Hi, I’m not trying to start any debates between IOS and Android users but is there anyone out there who can break out the pros and cons between the iPad 9th Gen and this for me? I’m not too sure about how the specs of the iPad compare to this. Mainly looking at pairing with a Apple Pencil / Lenovo Pen for studying purposes. Thanks in advance!

    • belongsinforums on 10/10/2021 - 17:05

      Ipads are really fast and have excellent battery on sleep mode but they use iOS which is very restrictive compared to android. If you want a laptop replacement, then android is better.

    Tempting… But what do we think about long term support of these? I've had so many Lenovo tablets where they haven't even provided a single major Android update (Tab3 7", Tab4 Plus, M10, Smart Tab). And I've had to leave behind some really neat Android tablet hardware because they were abandoned not long after getting one major upgrade (Dell Venue 10 7000 anyone?).

    Granted all of those were relatively cheap at ~$200, but now this one at $450 is spitting range to an iPad - a technically inferior one, but Apple have a proven track record of supporting their devices for several years. I'm going to be really disappointed when a powerhouse like this becomes abandonware…

      Yeah agreed, especially with the lack of 3rd party custom rom support.

    • Mobe1969 on 11/10/2021 - 10:17

      Yeah, I am just not a real fan of ios. It'd be hard to go back to.

      Nokia has a new one out, although only a 10.5, they are android one and awesome for updates. I wish they did a 12" one. I'm just really wanting a decent 11.5 or larger lean android. So not a heavy samsung android.
      I do have 10" Lenovo yoga tab and it is fine, did get an android 10 upgrade., but old and a bit underpowered. I'm a bit annoyed the only ones they sell locally are the 4gb ram models.

  • loopy18 on 09/10/2021 - 12:30

    Can someone recommend me a tablet please?

    I would like to use it for:

    reading / web browsing
    comfortably running tradingview app (to follow the stock market etc…)
    has half-decent battery life.
    and it would last me a good 2 years.

    Would this be a good option for outdoor usage in summer? I'm wanting to do some Netflix watching and gaming (via ps remote play / Xbox game pass) but doing so outdoors - the 500 nits screen is a huge drawcard for me for this reason. Is there something else though around the same pricetag that would achieve this or better? I have considered a laptop/Chromebook etc but most screens seems quite dim & not suitable for outdoor usage.

    Any ideas how much this will be when Lenovo Australia stock it? I think it might be as low at $599. If that's the case then combining it with the usual 15% cashback will get you it with an Australian warranty for $510.

    • Clear on 09/10/2021 - 15:31

      I don't think there will be an AU release. I'd expect the more high end 2021 version to be released if they were going to.

    So it would see Lenovo have released a new tablet called the Tab P11 Plus that might make it to Australia as it's available in the US right now.

    Specs aren't as good as this XiaoXin Pad Pro and they've opted for a MediaTek G90T CPU instead of a Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU so that could be a real downside for others.

    Interesting enough there is a XiaoXin Pad Plus and that's a bump up from the Pad Pro in this deal as it offers a Snapdragon 750G. I didn't share it because it's a China only model with no Global ROM available, no Google Play and no Widevine L1. It would seem the one linked above is intended to be the global release instead.

    Package arrived today, 1week, pretty fast. Very light and we'll built, a little heavy when using with cover.
    Was trying to connect to external monitor through usbc port with taskbar app. Still unable to adjust the monitor resolution. Hoping to replace my laptop for everyday usage.

  • mutnyi2001 on 29/10/2021 - 11:48

    Received it a couple of days ago. A few issues.

    Android 10 should be upgradable to Android 11 on this model (as per google videos). It is not, it is still Android 10.

    Next, the support. Apparently, you can't get a support from Lenovo Australia as serial numbers belong to Lenovo China. On Lenovo China website, no English is available, but also serial numbers and models are not shown up.

    Also, trying to know for sure if Precision Pen 2 will be working on this tablet. Again, English manuals indicate that it should, but it is a Chinese model.

    Anyone knows how to resolve these issues?

    Feeling a little bit regretful to get this deal. Was lured by the reviews of the tablet and a remark that it is from Lenovo online shop. Well, another lesson learnt.

    • Clear on 29/10/2021 - 12:33

      So if you go to Settings and try to do an OTA update there's nothing available?

      You're not going to get support from Lenovo Australia as this is the Chinese model (XiaoXin), sold by AliExpress (China) and Lenovo don't have an official store on AliExpress. These are risks you take when you buy from China.

      • mutnyi2001 on 29/10/2021 - 12:36

        Yes, Clear. If your post didn't say "OS Android 10 (Android 11 via OTA)" I doubt I would pull the trigger.

          I always try to post accurate information and the Lenovo update matrix for the P11 Pro has said updates started rolling out Late September. So I'm doing what everyone should do before purchasing electronics… and Googling to see what I can find for you.

    You should be able to upgrade to Android 11 using the OTA update.
    Is that your only issue? Your other comments are just comments.

    • mutnyi2001 on 29/10/2021 - 12:32

      There is no upgrade option to Android 11 via OTA.

      I believe if you bought 2 of those tablets yourself your comments would become the issues too.

      • Rockgod70 on 29/10/2021 - 12:36

        Did you not read back in the previous comments where I said I did buy 2?
        There is an update to Android 11 using OTA, I also said there was an issue with the keyboard but it seems to be fixed now with the latest update.

          Not sure 100%. Though, I did check the order carefully before placing it. If it was 'global' or 'chinese' I would choose 'global'

          Do you mind telling me the steps you've updated to Android 11? I may miss something. There are no updates available in the system updates.

            • mutnyi2001 on 29/10/2021 - 22:24

              @Rockgod70: Also, for curiosity, have you been able to find a support website for your tablets?

              When I contacted Lenovo Australia with my serial numbers they said they are not supporting them as they are under China Lenovo.

              China Lenovo doesn't recognise these tablets by serial numbers either.

              I've brought the question about the support to Lenovo Shop on Aliexpress (the seller). They've started the chat, claiming that the tablets are 'global version', but when I gave them my serial numbers to provide the link for the support, they keep quiet.

              Question: are these tablets legitimate ones? If so, where to find the technical support for them?

              • Rockgod70 on 29/10/2021 - 22:43

                @mutnyi2001: When i had problems with my first tablet (which ended up being the incompatibility with the ROM, so i t was the same thing with the second tablet) Aliexpress were more than helpful and gave me a full refund, i then ordered the replacement.
                Maybe OzB isn't the place for tech support, try the forum in the link I sent as it appears many users on there have the same devices.

  • daku on 01/11/2021 - 18:31
