The tablet market is mostly dominated by Apple's iPad. How does Lenovo's refresh of the Tab P11 Pro hold up?
Lenovo Tab P11 Pro Gen 2 MSRP $400.00 Score Details “The Tab P11 Pro Gen 2 is a good update, but it's another tablet that is still held back by Android software that is not optimized.” Pros Cons Lenovo is a brand that is best known for powerful desktop and laptop computers, but it also makes some nice tablets for on-the-go productivity and entertainment. Though it seems that the tablet market is largely dominated by Apple’s iPad, the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro Gen 2 is a strong contender.
What’s interesting, at least for me, is the location of the front-facing camera. Like its predecessor, the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro Gen 2 is landscape-oriented, so the front-facing camera is actually on the longer, horizontal side. This is like the new 10th-generation iPad, which moved the front camera to landscape orientation instead of at the top in portrait orientation. Considering that people will mostly use a tablet in landscape mode for video calls, this only makes sense.
During my time with the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro Gen 2, I’ve mostly used it for consuming media, as I did not receive the optional keyboard case with my unit. Reading is fantastic on the high-resolution screen, and movies and shows were sharp and full of smaller details thanks to Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support.
Again though, I mainly just use the stylus to navigate and do quick little scribbles — nothing too serious or intense. However, the Precision Pen 3 has some other functionality, including screenshots, a laser pointer, magnifying glass, and a camera scanner. Enabling these functions can be quickly done by pressing the button on the pen in select apps.
There is a version of Android 12 that is optimized for larger devices, Android 12L. Lenovo has said that the Tab P11 Pro will be its first tablet to get the Android 12L update, but it won’t be until next year. So right now, the Tab P11 Pro Gen 2 is still using standard Android 12. When no face is detected, it will provide haptic feedback to let you know. This applies to both direct unlock and slide-to-unlock settings. The feedback when no face is detected right away is more annoying than anything. I wish it operated like iOS, where you can “wake” the screen, but not unlock it right away. Maybe it’s just an Android 12 thing, but it just feels overly sensitive for Face Unlock.
Lenovo Tab P11 Pro Gen 2 battery life Lenovo packed an 8,000mAh battery into the Tab P11 Pro Gen 2 and claims that the tablet can last around 14 hours on a single charge. Since I was unable to use it as a work machine, I’ve been testing it primarily as an entertainment device. The Lenovo Precision Pen 3, which is the optional stylus that works with the Tab P11 Pro, costs $70 separately. The Lenovo Keyboard Pack, which adds a protective back cover with a kickstand and keyboard for the tablet, costs $100. Both of these accessories can also be found on Lenovo’s site.
