This previously popular tablet is on sale again and cheaper than last time. It's the successor to the original Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad (Tab 11). Both the 4GB/64GB and 6GB/128GB variants are on sale with the latter being a better performer.

Edit: Store coupon has expired. Updated with new price.

Featuring Android 12, 10.6" 2000x1200 IPS 400nits display, 6GB RAM, 128GB storage (supports MicroSD), mid-range Qualcomm 680 CPU with Adreno 610 GPU, 7700mAh battery with 20W PD charging, 4 speakers with Dolby Atmos, 3.5mm audio jack, 8MP front + rear camera, WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.1 and USB-C.

The seller has opted to flash global firmware on this tablet instead of the stock ZUI (Lenovo China's Android fork), so there's a chance Netflix might not be in HD. I don't own the tablet so I can't test. Either way it's a good price for some good hardware that's more powerful than the predecessor.

    I think I paid any 240 a few weeks ago. Have the tablet. Good quality. Nice screen and speakers.

          Do you get anything about the bootloader being unlocked when you turn it on?

              @tripdubz: Locking the bootloader should be enough but I haven't really researched this tablet specifically. There's a batchscript here that has done it for other Lenovo tablets but I don't know if that'll work for this one. I'd have to look around in the Lenovo P11 forum on XDA.

              • tripdubz on 26/11/2022 - 21:49

      You have both codes added?

      AU$ based on current Mastercard rate, GST inclusive

      I used the actual USD to AUD exchange rate. Setting AliExpress to AUD or letting PayPal do the conversion will be inflated. Having a currency conversion free card added in PayPal, then paying with that in USD will get you close to the current rate.

    I've been looking at this for a while. I kind of understand the issue with netflix and the whitelisting and what not. But I don't use netflix, so I'm ok on that front. Quick question though: will I have any issues streaming 1080p from LAN plex server, or my jellyfin server on the net? As in, the cause of the netflix issue —> will that affect my plex/jellyfin usage?

    I got my tablet few days ago, arrived in around 12 days. I found its a bit sluggish on the UI like ipad 4th gen that has been updated to iOS 16.

    • Clear on 24/11/2022 - 20:37

      Probably because the global ROM belongs to a different tablet. With ZUI I'm sure it would be fine.

      • [Deactivated] on 24/11/2022 - 20:40

        is there a way to 'restore' the ZUI?

        • grumblerain on 06/12/2022 - 06:33

          I'd like to second this. would be great to have a link to instructions/video on how to put the ZUI ROM back into this tablet.

          • linoc66 on 12/12/2022 - 10:00

            @grumblerain: You guys have any luck with rom?

              @linoc66: nope
              I asked here and also tried asking seller. seller's responses so far:
              Me: Quick question: how can i install the ZUI rom rather than the global ROM? I've heard the ZUI rom is quicker and more responsive on this tablet. Thanks.

              Seller: Hello, the whole series of tablet computers have been upgraded to the international Android system. You cannot install the Chinese firmware. Chinese firmware does not support Google applications. We recommend that you continue to use the international Android system.

              Me: i don't need google applications. i will be using it offline for media watching. is it possible to get the default ZUI firmware?

              Seller: The ZUI firmware is too large to be sent to your email address.

              Me: is it not available for download on the internet somewhere? perhaps you can host it on a google drive, or dropbox, or any other host of other options

              Seller has yet to reply to that.

              • [Deactivated] on 12/12/2022 - 16:03

                @grumblerain: Seller replied to me about your last question, they said do not flash chinese firmware as it might brick the tablet and they won't be able to offer support.

                • grumblerain on 12/12/2022 - 17:03

                  @[Deactivated]: tbh, at $200aud, i'm willing to potentially brick the tablet. they always say that as a legal disclaimer type of thing, but i've never had a device brick on me. and i've been at it for decades lol. maybe i've gotten lucky, but w/e, it's just $200. I'm going to be using this device a lot, and i'm just going to get annoyed every single time i swipe because it really is noticeable sluggish/laggy.

      On my 2021 version, disabling the Entertainment swipe left on the home screen made a huge difference to the responsiveness. (To disable it's a toggle switch in home screen settings )

      • BigBirdy on 25/11/2022 - 09:04

        Thanks, I'll give this a try

      • grumblerain on 12/12/2022 - 15:56

        fwiw, I did do this and it didn't really make any noticeable difference on my tablet. my tablet continues to be a bit sluggish in responsiveness. having said that, it plays videos perfectly, so no issues on that front. Just UI is sluggish/laggy.

        • [Deactivated] on 12/12/2022 - 16:02

          try doing factory reset, pressing power and volume down or up button for some seconds.

          after reset I feel its quite fast, especially after turning off the Entertainment swipe.

      • BigBirdy on 15/12/2022 - 09:23

        I find my tablet (tb-j606f) generally good, but sometimes leaves me waiting. Two common issues for me are 1. keyboard response … unless I type very slowly, and I'm not a fast typer, I end up with crap (far worse than a few typos), and 2. in portrait mode … I regularly get an accidental touch (seems to be triggered by my clothing?) on the bottom of the screen, maybe from the narrow bezel and overly sensitive screen.

    • grumblerain on 12/12/2022 - 15:59

      P.S. I ordered on 24th nov, arrived 5th december, so around ~11 days too. extremely fast for aliexpress! I thought I'd be in it for the long haul, but was very pleasantly surprised.

    After hours of research… I decided to go with this tablet.
    Came to OZB to see if there were any AliE promo codes, & find this post.

    I went with the full kit = includes Bluetooth Keyboard (which is also a case), Mouse, Screen Protector, Stylus.
    Total = $266.61 (AU $289.99 - $51.03 using BFS22 (for some reason it wouldn't accept BFS30), $27.65 tax (I don't have other card)

        thanks mate, will see how it goes.

  • PatchyFog on 28/11/2022 - 20:30

    Thanks. Was looking to get a tab for video messenger and playing Roblox and Minecraft (and similar).
    Finally pulled the pin on this, missed out on the discount and paid $258 (Inc tax). It's a present for my 10 year old but looks unlikely it'll be here for Christmas. I mistakenly held off hoping that there would be some good BF/CM sales locally, unfortunately there wasn't.

    Either way, hopefully this does the job better than her Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) that seems to be struggling with Roblox etc.

  • mudguppy1 on 29/11/2022 - 08:29

    Got one from the last sale very sluggish on all apps and games , widevine is borked low res on all videos and it boots with a splash screen warning about unlocked boot loader and insecure data. AVOID. Seller is arrogant and no help.

    • Griffindinho on 29/11/2022 - 11:58

      Glad I went with the M10 Plus 3rd gen, even if the chipset is a bit weaker. It still does some gaming well on medium settings playing at 30FPS (FIFA Mobile).

    • PatchyFog on 29/11/2022 - 12:34

      It's that due to the "global" rom that's been flashed by the seller or the actual tab? Do you think flashing original firmware would help relieve the "sluggish" issue?
      I can deal with the low res videos as I doubt my daughter would care too much. As for the boot warning, the only time it be booted would be if the battery gets drained to empty or it needs a restart for some reason.

    • Clear on 29/11/2022 - 13:39

      This may help with the lag. Certainly seems a ROM from another tablet is causing issues instead of stock. I won't post again.

    i just received mine in the mail, box is dented, plastic has been cut opened plus the sticker on the box?
    also get that boot screen warning.
    is it safe to put sensitive data on it ?

    • linoc66 on 09/12/2022 - 13:18

      Interesting - My thoughts would be - Possibly dented via postage. If you mean plastic (& sticker) covering the box for postage, also prob via postage, prob got caught on something. Postage/courier workers can be pretty rough, especially this time of year, items pass through a lot of hands>conveyor-belts>vehicles, before it reaches us.
      As for boot screen - I've not received mine yet, but just reading the few posts above yours, gives some suggestions what to investigate.
      I'd prob also be running some anti-virus/malware scans.

      • tempa on 09/12/2022 - 15:20
        +2

        The cut plastic and stickers im referring to is from the retail packaging not the delivery packaging.
        E.G when you buy a phone, its shrinked wrapped and has a sticker between the top and bottom of the phone boxed to tell you its been opened or not.

        • linoc66 on 09/12/2022 - 23:06

          Thanks for the heads-up, I'll make sure to video my parcel opening, & boot-up, just'n.

          Received mine yesterday as well. Based on the description on AliExpress, they open it to unlock the bootloader and install the global ROM.

          I have since installed the CN rom. It feels a lot smoother to use. With a little of effort you can install google play store and sideload the apps you need.

              Pretty straightforward using the above instructions.

                There was a problem communicating with Google servers

                I have uninstalled and reinstalled the play store as well as making sure that google play services was enabled (disabled by default). I also have unticked the remove permissions and free up space button which seemed to be automatically ticked for all google based items.

Use clear and simple language, and avoid using contractions (can't, didn't, etc) which confuse non-native speakers.
