Lenovo Tab P11 with Pen Unboxing & Hands On By My Next Tablet

Hey Andrew here for mynexttabler. com today was an unboxing video of the Lenovo tab, p11 that was announced just a couple of weeks ago at CES, so it's available now in many countries and yeah. Let's get started all right. Let's start the unboxing of the Lenovo tab p11. That was just announced a couple of weeks ago during CES it's available in many countries now starting at 230 us dollars and if you're living inside Europe, you will have to pay around 250 euros. You can get an optional pen which I have, and you can also get an optional keyboard cover, which I do not have yet, but I hope I will have it for my final review.

Well, let's start the unboxing and inside the box we get the tablet first, it makes a pretty good first impression it looks quite nice, but I can already feel it's not as high and feeling as the Nova tab app 11 pro, but it's not a pro. So it's fine. Then we get a SD eject tool or a sim eject tool. If you get the LTE version and then there's the quick start guide, quite a big one, and then we get the USB cable, it's USB to USA, just a standard one and then there's a charger. Of course.

Now, let's get to that pen, you have to buy that one separately. At least I had to maybe in your country you can get a bundle or something, and inside this box we first get a replacement tip which is nice to have, so you can replace the tip. Then we get a quick start guide again and then there's a kind of sleeve or kind of case that you can attach or glue to another case or something I'm not sure how Lenovo has what wants us to do that, I'm I will have to figure it out later. Then there is the pen itself, of course, and this one seems to be built out of aluminum. Mostly has a couple of buttons and yeah feels like a nice pen before we continue check out the description.

They have got a link to a newsletter that I'm starting all about tablets. I will inform you about once a month about tablet news, the tablets I'm reviewing and my general thoughts about the tablet market. Now, as usual, since I shot the first parts of this video, a couple of hours or about half a day have passed already. I already played a bit with this tablet, run some benchmarks watch a bit of Netflix a bit of YouTube and stop the web a bit so that I can tell you a little more about the Lenovo tab, p11 here, and we're starting with the design. It has an 11-inch screen.

It's an LCD. We will look at that one later in more detail above the screen, we're getting an 8 megapixel front-facing camera and that one has facial recognition built in on the software side. Of course, let me quickly demonstrate it. It works okay, it's not as precise and certainly not as secure as apple's face ID or as Microsoft's windows, hello, because we are only getting one front-facing camera and there's no infrared sensor or something like that. So it's not super secure.

Just keep that in mind. We don't get any physical buttons, but relatively slim black screen bezels around the screen, then on the bottom. Here we are getting a connector for the optional keyboard cover on this side. We have an USB 2.0 port, so you can connect lots of accessories, but not an external monitor, then we're getting two speakers on this side and two other speakers on this side and the sound quality of that speaker is pretty good of those speakers are pretty good. I already watched about YouTube and a bit of Netflix, and it sounds really nice for this price range.

When we're getting a power button, there's no fingerprint scanner built in, and here we have volume rockers and then there's the SD card slot, and if you get the IDE version, I'm sure that's where you can put the sim card as well. You might have noticed that there's no headphone jack because well there is none we're getting a 13 megapixel camera on the back together with a LED flash. The body is mostly made out of metal and a little plastic. Actually the thing that goes from the main body here to the screen. There's a little thing: that's not as nice as on the Lenovo tab, p11 pro that one is made out of plastic too, and yeah a little metal a little plastic.

It feels fine, of course, at 230. This is not a super high-end tablet, so that's to be expected, but for price. I really think that it feels well-made now, let's get to the 11-inch screen and with 11 inches, it's bigger than every 10-inch tablet, of course, but it's also a little smaller than the tab, p11 pro, which has an 11.5-inch screen. This is an LCD IPS panel with very nice viewing angles. Colors look fine contrast, looks fine.

The brightness is fine too. It's certainly not the brightest tablet out there, but it's certainly okay. It seems okay to me. I also like that we're getting a resolution of 2000 by pixels, because on 11 inches I think the pixel density is certainly good enough text and icons, and so on, look sharp. In fact, this looks a little sharper than the tab.

P11 pro well texts look a little sharper because the p11 pro has a pen tile, OLED screen, which make text look a little kind of fuzzier. So I will talk more about it in my final review of the pro version. So I really like the screen resolution here now, of course, if you're having an OLED screen like on the pro colors and so on, look way more saturated than on here, but they look fine um. So I think it's a certainly decent screen, not a huge highlight, but certainly a nice screen for this price range on here. You can watch Netflix in full HD resolution.

Now that sounds like it should be totally normal, but it's not. In the past. Many Lenovo tablets were not capable of displaying Netflix in HD resolution. Now they can do it, which is nice, because this actually makes it quite a nice Netflix tablet since we're getting an 11-inch screen and four good speakers. If you want you can buy the Lenovo precision pen 2 to use with this p11 tablet.

That is an active pen which is pressure sensitive. That means you can draw a thicker line by pressing the pen down a little harder. You can replace the tips. There are two buttons on the side, but as far as I could find out so far, they are not that useful. You can use them as shortcuts to get to the home screen, and you can take out some smart bar with it and yeah.

I have to look into the settings more. Maybe there's something I'm missing the precision pen 2 feels quite high end because it's made out of aluminum while the Samsung s pen is usually made out of plastic, so this one feels a little higher end, but you have to always charge it. It seems like there is an USB port, hidden underneath some rubber here and yeah. That's how you charge the pen using USB c. You can use the pen for handwriting or drawings, and I did write and draw with it a little already, and it certainly is fine.

It works way better than those capacitive pens that you can get for cheaper tablets, so yeah. It's certainly way more precise than that. However, I noticed that it does not seem as precise as the Samsung s pen on Samsung tablets or the Apple Pencil on apple tablets, but I will have to look into that in more detail for my final review. Now it does support pawn rejection. It is kind of, but when I wrote a little, I did notice some stripes on the fake paper here.

So maybe the primary rejection does not work as great or maybe Lenovo has to optimize it. On the software side, a bit inside the Lenovo tab, p11 runs a Qualcomm snapdragon 662 processors, which is the same chipset we get with the Samsung Galaxy tab a7, you can get versions with four or six gigabytes of ram. I've got the four gigabyte version, and you can get 64 gigabytes or 128 gigabytes of internal storage. I've got the version with 64 gigabytes and out of those 20 gigabytes are already used by this system. There's an optional LTE version as well.

My geek bench 5 benchmark comparison is very interesting because the results are pretty much identical with the Samsung Galaxy tab, a7, which usually is quite a bit cheaper. However, you can also see that the graphics performance of the Samsung Galaxy tab- s6 lite, is quite a bit better and those tablets are very interesting because, while the s6 light is a bit pricier there, the s-pen is included, and if you include the pen here with the Lenovo tab p11, the price is actually very similar. I played Call of Duty already, and it performs fine now the graphics. Don't look amazing, of course, and you've seen that with the benchmark already, you will be able to play most games on here, fine, but only with medium to low settings, usually at least if it's a more demanding game, you won't be able to play it with the highest settings since the graphics performance of that snapdragon.662 is just not that amazing, but sure you will be able to play almost every game, but sometimes you will have to play it with the lowest settings. Let's get to the software on the Lenovo tab, p11 runs android 10.

Let's quickly confirm that in the settings we go to about tablet, and here it's android version, 10. Now of course, android 11 also would be nicer, but there's no tablet with android 11. Yet so it's not that big of a deal. I always like that. Lenovo does not customize the interface.

That heavily is pretty much vanilla, android, but some apps are pre-installed that are not from Google, for instance, there's Amazon, music bamboo paper, which is a drawing or handwriting app. Then we get Netflix and Microsoft Office and also squid, which is another notes, app, that's pre-installed as well, and then, of course, all the Google stuff, and that includes the Google kit space, which is an interesting kids' mode that you can use. If you want to give the tablet to your children now there are some software customizations. That Lenovo did include, and one of them is this. Smart assistant bar thing here, which you can use to take screenshots and then record the screen, and so on.

Very interesting is also the productivity mode which you can turn on. If you want to use the tablet either with your official keyboard cover or with another external keyboard or with the mouse, this is not a crazy customized desktop mode like Samsung DEX, for instance, or the Huawei desktop mode, but it's just the lighter one, and it makes android a little easier to navigate with a keyboard and with a real mouse. The typical android buttons get pushed to the side, and then you can see a taskbar with currently opened apps all right now. I have to start my proper review. This is not a review.

It's just an unboxing video and my first impressions, but my first impressions are pretty good. I like the screen so far. The build quality is fine, not as good as of pro, but certainly fine, and I like that, we're getting almost vanilla, android 10. The pen seems to be fine, not amazing, but fine. I have to compare it in more detail to the s-pen from Samsung, certainly and yeah.

The performance is okay, not amazing. Again, it's okay, but for the price it seems to be certainly an interesting tablet and an interesting alternative to Samsung's offerings. Now, if you have any questions, please feel free to write them down below in the comments, and I will certainly read all of them. I always read all the comments. I might not answer every comment, but I really read every comment and I will try to include some points in my final review.

All right, that's been on my unboxing of the Lenovo tab.
