OS

The Lenovo P11 Pro runs on Android 10 and works without any lags or stutters. Apps run smooth and modern games run without any issues. However, Android apps aren’t really optimized for tablet use and causes most apps to stretch to fit the window.

The tablet can be used in two different modes — a normal tablet mode and a productivity mode which automatically turns on when you connect the device to the optional keyboard accessory.

Performance

The Lenovo P11 Pro comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G chipset, Adreno 618 GPU and comes in configurations of 4 or 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage, further expandable up to 1TB via microSD.

While the hardware is not as powerful the latest Samsung and Apple tablets, the chipset is powerful enough for most productivity tasks as well as for gaming and entertainment.

Camera

The Lenovo Tab P11 Pro uses a dual-camera setup on both sides. The rear camera system consists of a 13-megapixel main camera with autofocus and an LED flash. There is also a 5MP ultrawide with fixed focus and a 120° field of view. The selfie camera system consists of two 8MP cameras, one for photos and one for face recognition.

Both cameras offer decent quality in well lit conditions, but in darker environments there is a loss in clarity. In terms of video, Both the front and rear cameras can record at a maximum of 1080p at 30 frames per second is of acceptable quality.

Speakers & Battery

The Lenovo P11 Pro offers quad JBL speakers with Dolby Atmos certification. The speakers are located on either side of the devices which can dampen the sound somewhat when holding it in portrait mode. The sound quality is clear and well-balanced even on maximum volume.

The P11 Pro has a battery capacity of 8,600 mAh and Lenovo promises a battery time of up to 15 hours video playback/normal productivity use and up to 8 hours web browsing. In our test we found it to last 9-10 hours of real-life use between a mix of web browsing, gaming and video playback

The Tab P11 Pro comes with a 20-watt USB-C power adapter with support for fast charging. During our test it took about 2.44 hours to recharge it from 0% to 100%. In addition to Quick Charge 3.0, the Tab P11 Pro also supports reverse charging.

Verdict

The Lenovo Tab P11 Pro is one the first premium tablets from Lenovo and it offers some strong specifications for a first-gen version especially the 2K OLED screen and the quad JBL speaker system. However, if you are looking for the most powerful tablet this may not be the ideal choice.

With that said, even with the Snapdragon 730G, the Tab P11 Pro is a great tablet for entertainment and multimedia consumption. We would recommend going with the 6GB RAM variant. And for further storage, there is support for external storage via microSD up to 256 GB.
