Right! Trying to cover as many of them as I can this next year!

I’m grateful too. Tbh I just don’t *need* a flagship tablet. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad we have amazing tablets. But. I’m not going to spend 4x what I need to watch some movies etc.

Glad you're enjoying it! It's a good all around device

when you see hdr content it's has problem? i found on reddit this tab got problem about hdr

Thanks so much man. You have no idea what it means! It's fun to play with the $1,000 gadgets. But I try to always think about how far tech has come even in the $200 range. 120hz for $200 is pretty insane for a tablet. Happy to see the envelope being pushed and it's good to keep looking at devices like these

I agree with you 💯.

Thanks so much! Means a lot

For sure. It's great for that

go to settings, system, system update. it might be market dependent, i'm from east europe @@swift101ninja

Thanks for checking it out

Thanks so much. It SOMETIMES felt slower, it's very subjective. Either way I'll say it's VERY close. I should have given that caveat.

Hope you enjoy it

Is "Ready For" better than Dex? I might find that hard to believe. Lenovo and Motorola seems to be the same company now. A month or two ago I buy my first Moto smartphone, the stylus 2023 5G. Based on my experience, the software isn't that great even with decent hardware spec. I even compared it to a older but similar spec Redmi 10c and I had a better experience with Redmi. I suffered lag with Moto as well as freezes. I was unable to dual task as it would aggressive close programs if I tried to run two things at a time.

I just can't do no more OS updates like the Tab S7 provides. I think the S8 is a real sweet spot on the market for really good tablets at a good price

Well they are selling at that price to get rid of the stock. It's all about what you can reasonably afford. If you can afford it the Tab S8 is great and worth getting for sure. This is for those who need to keep their budget lower. I'm happy to see how they can push the limits of lower end tablets to make them good!

@AndroidDigest That's me, for sure. Heck, s8 renewed on amazon is $478. Hell, I might as well add the extra $21 and get it new before stock runs out.. Thanks.

@joana1684 / @Isu13632 Hola, qué tal el rendimiento de la batería?

@@100xcientoapple is not bad, but not too good

Great to hear. Merry Christmas

@@AndroidDigest thank you! Merry Christmas 🎄

I wish I could, I don't have much time to test that too be honest, and some devices come and go, and that device is long gone, so don't have it here to test, sorry!

I don't have the tablet on me to test that. But I do remember it being at least 2k. From my experience. I just can't verify 100%. But I will tell you it doesn't really matter honestly. If your screen is limited in your resolution anyway, your screen is basically a 1080p display, streaming. 4K video is still only going to show up 1080p on a 1080p display. It might be slightly upscaled in a way. But a 1080p tv can only show 1080p. Same for a tablet. So not really too drawn back even if it can't show slightly upscaled video. But I think it can. Just can't remember if it's 2k or 4k

​@@AndroidDigestcan you test this please? This is pretty important information

1440p Max res. for p11 gen 2

That's a very difficult question to answer. I haven't used the GoPro app so it would be tough to say. And every video editing program is very different. For example, luma fusion is a fairly new app, with a lot of features, but it also requires a little more power. I tried to edit 4K video on that app, with an external SSD, on a Galaxy Tab S9FE Plus. That device is a little more powerful than this tablet. I had mixed results. Remember, it's hard to edit 4K footage even on powerful devices. It probably would have did fine on 1080p. But your device is a little bit less powerful, using a different app, and using an SD card. Assuming you're using a fairly recent card, I'm guessing it would do fine with like 1080p footage. If you doing a quick edit with 4K maybe you could get away with it. You can connect an external SSD but a lot of programs won't recognize it or won't be able to edit from it. LumaFusion is one of the few that will. And you can use some type of USBC hub to connect an SSD. So the real answer is, I'm not sure. It depends on the app and the capabilities of the app, the speed of the SD card, and how good your footage is. As far as quality, also, how long your edits are going to be. If it's just a one or two minute video, you could get away with a lot of things. If you're doing a ton of video editing, I would recommend getting something more powerful though. Hopefully this helps in some way. Maybe someone will come along one day who uses it like that and comments. Otherwise, you may just have to buy device and test it out for yourself. Luckily, a place like Best Buy and some other places even like lenovo's website, they offer refunds without a restocking fee for tablets

I don't, sorry!

I agree! Does well for the basics

True but using a 60Hz tablet is downright disgusting if you are used to 120Hz+ on PC and phone. So good thing 120Hz screens came to the lower end tablet spectrum.

Thanks so much. I don't have the device with me but I can almost guarantee it has it. It's pretty much a built-in thing on Android. Sometimes they call it different things but I haven't really seen a device that doesn't have it

Yes and no, mostly no. Most apps may require Android 7.0 and up or 8.0 and up, but you can run a device for years and years and still be behind on updates. Plus google does increase security in some ways through some play store updates.

@@AndroidDigest Thanks for your feedback. My old tablet had 3Gb RAM and found out by chance it did not show Geekbench 6. Wasn't shure it was Android 12 or the hardware. In my case it was the hardware.

Glad you're enjoying it

No video out unfortunately.

Are there any decent budget android tablets that do allow it that you know of? Around this price range?@@AndroidDigest

It works with the Lenovo Precision Pen 2 (2023). It should work with scrolling and things like that.

If it's just a little more yes. Like $50 more or less. Yes. $100 more. It's a toss up. I would compare the price to the 4GB M10 though and not the 3GB of RAM model

​@AndroidDigest so, the m10 gen 3 4gb ram 64gb storage cost 225.99 this one is 327.70 4gb 128gb storage both after tax and price is on cad. If I do buy the m10 I'm gonna have to upgrade the storage since 64 is iffy, compared to 128 storage of the p11

Lenovo is much more cost effective than Apple (used to be a fan). Tablets & laptops. iPads are boring and very expensive…

@@swift101ninjaget xiaomi pad se

So sorry, I had this in for review for awhile but don't have it at this point, or I'd let you know, hopefully someone else can help you out here.

Google docs. I use google drive to organize files, and I make folders to organize things, and I can add a google doc to it, and type it up, it's all free.

Just be careful with your expectations. Especially if you have a good MacBook. Remember, this is sort of a budget tablet. The Pixel tablet is actually a lot faster. And I would argue it's a better tablet overall even if the refresh rate isn't as good. This is still a really solid tablet. But if I was wanting to get a lot of work done, and replace something like a nice MacBook, I would probably get something like the S9FE Plus from Samsung, or You could go with last year's S8 Plus, or, one final option obviously if you have a lot more money, is the S9 Plus. All of those devices are big enough to be really good for productivity. They have decent keyboard options on the market. And they are all faster than this tablet. This is a great budget tablet. But if I was replacing my macbook I'd be a little more careful.

I'd recommend the S9 FE. It comes with the stylus, and Samsung software is a little more reliable in the long run. If you check out my reviews on that, it should help. And if you find it on sale (pretty sure it is now). You can always buy one open box. On the product page there's a way to see open box items and normally you can find it in mint condition for an extra $50 to $100 off. That's if price is a concern. You can check out my review on my channel of the S9 FE or S9 FE Plus. If you decide to buy feel free to use my links. It helps me out

@@AndroidDigest thank you so much, decided to go for the Samsung tab S9 FE. Its cheaper when you subscribe as a Samsung member and comes with a free keyboard folio case 🤩👌🏻 Thanks again for your advice

For sure. Thanks for sharing your thoughts

Cap cut on Android is really best for things like tiktok. If you're just editing 1080p footage I would say it should be enough. But there's only one video track, luma fusion has a little more features

That's complicated. Looking at any screen for hours may not be ideal. This is plenty good enough for reading but your eyes could get sore looking at a screen. There are settings to make it easier on the eyes though

Yeah I haven't really had Wi-Fi issues, so sorry to hear about that. But Lenovo is known to be slow with updates or not update much at all. You can Google Lenovo update matrix and they should have a link with all the planned updates there

Thanks for sharing your experience. Stinks about the gps though

Enjoy it

Honestly, if you're okay with Samsung I would look towards something like the tab S9 Fe or S9 Fe Plus. That would allow you to get something smaller but something a little bit better than this. The S8 Ultra is a really really good tablet and I don't want you to have a huge huge downgrade there

I believe so. I don't have the tablet with me anymore since the review, so I can't guarantee that but I do believe it does

I hear that

I need to! So many videos to make though, to be honest I don't think I'll get to it. But stay tuned, just covered the A9_+ and I'll be covering more tablets too

I wanna know this too!

It's a good option. It's not a groundbreaking best deal ever, but it is a good deal overall.

@@AndroidDigest…Thank you for the feedback.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Well oled is on the p11 pro gen 2. I just made a video on that too . Hope I didn't say oled in this video. It's IPS LCD. The P11 Pro Gen 2 is oled. (Pro version). Still. Even with LCD, the 120hz is really good for the money

4GB

I can see why you would be disappointed from your perspective. I think the truth is most people don't use Android tablets or even iPads to make music. There are some use cases, some apps that you can use. But especially serious people in the music industry, they probably use Macs or windows devices to get things done. But even those professionals will occasionally use tablets to get some things done. And I'm sure it's pretty frustrating not to know what you can do with that. Most reviewers don't do music for a living though and they wouldn't have as much experience with that. Just like sometimes I get doctors in my comments asking if they could use this for med school. I don't know what they do in med school. Hopefully you could find some people with similar ideas and hobbies with some experience. Maybe on a Reddit board or something. I bet you could share about all this and someone would respond

Canva should work fine on it honestly. I wouldn't see an issue with it. I didn't personally use Canva but it's not super resource intensive.

@@AndroidDigest thanks I probably will use it mostly when I am in the road. Thanks, the video really helped

I would consider it neutral. That tablet was very unique because it came with an amoled display for $400. And a decent processor. It's probably the same speed as this. But it has a better screen. Obviously time has passed and your battery is probably worn. I also had big wifi issues on every s5e I used. So there's reasons to upgrade. I think the S9 FE, even if it's not an amoled display, it's probably a modest upgrade for you and it comes with an s pen too. The P11 Pro Gen 2 is also a better version of this in some ways and it has an AMOLED display. Just bad software updates. So yeah. I'd go for a Tab S8, an S9 FE, or a Lenovo P11Pro Gen 2. I'd lean towards an S8 or S9 FE. Or an S9 obviously if you've got the money. OnePlus Pad is very good too

@@AndroidDigest thanks for the quick reply! Also have you had a chance to look at that new lenovo budget tablet the M11 I think it's called?

That's great, hope you enjoy it

Did it come with the keyboard?

I type a lot in Google docs

For sure!

From what I know pad 6 has video out on USB port, 144 htz compared to 120 on the p11 and no video out. Don't know how many os updates with the xiaomi. I'm still on Android 12l Xiaomi on 13. Productivity mode on my p11 is the poor mans Samsung Dex. Don't know where you are but on US Amazon Xiaomi pad 5 is $377 and p11 gen 2 is $238, but $199 on Lenovo's own website.

​@@derrickgoodman8434 Hmm for me it's 300 dollars for the 6 gb 128 gb rob version. I'm just seeing if its worth it to skip but seems not, the xaomi performance should be leagues ahead even with a old but flagship snapdragon 870.

Yeah the xiaomi will be better for people outside the US. The processor is much faster. Everything else is a lot closer but that processor is a big deal

If you get a version that works with a sim, maybe. Depending on your carrier. That's a hard question to answer though to be honest.

yeah, if they connect through a usb-c adapter.

Sorry, not something I've been able to test. But hopefully someone else can help

It is upgradeable to Android 13

I used to live in a small town near the Canada border, north of Buffalo. That place holds a special place in my heart even though I only lived there a couple of years.

That's a tough thing. OnePlus Pad, Pixel Tablet, and Tab S9 FE are all in the running. And you can almost get a Tab S9 for that price (you can probably used) if you look at sales. The Pixel Tablet has a worse refresh rate, but comes with a speaker dock that charges it. And it doubles as a cool picture frame for your family if you use it that way like I do. The OnePlus Pad probably has the best specs for the money (in the US), the Tab S9 FE has Samsung DeX, and you can typically find it cheaper than the other options, slightly less power, but it's a great all around device. I don't think you can go wrong honestly with any of those.

From my experience, and I can't remember 100%, but when you have the gestures turned on, you can normally hold your finger on the gesture button and the taskbar will go away. I can't say it will go away with the nova launcher. But that's typical behavior with Android. I don't remember testing it in my time with it and I used it for some weeks. Just didn't mess with it. But try it out if you get time. (if it doesn't work on nova try on the normal launcher)

Hey, how's it now? Is it laggy?

Wow. $84 is insane

That's a great question, I would assume so given their emphasis on the ready for mode on their phones.

p11 pro 2nd gen has type-c 3.0 output , here is 2.0 which doesnt support that feature.

Unfortunately it's usb 2.0. some type of mhl cable may manipulate things but can't use a monitor normally through a usb c hub

It should run just fine from my experience, but didn't get a chance to test it .

We went with this tablet for my son. It does run Roblox well but I don't think it runs it as well as my daughter's IPad 9th gen. But I honestly think that's just a Roblox problem.

Not easily tried in the US. We have less options here

You'd need to find an LTE version, but generally speaking tablets don't have the proper microphones, normally they only work on speaker, so not sure why you'd want to use it as a phone. But maybe certain carriers that work through apps might work. But you'd have to find an LTE version somewhere, and not sure where you can find that, different countries have different versions too. I just reviewed the wifi version in the US

I can't say for sure. But I will say that the only "requirement" it says on the website is Android 5.0. That's CRAZY old, so honestly I think it will work just fine.

@@AndroidDigest Thank you so much 😁

For sure. They are normally slow or just bad

That's fair. There's a reason for that. Your average channel just sees a tablet, they see a $300 retail price and they say "it's good, buy it" or they say "it's bad, don't buy it". But that advice is honestly terrible, fickle, and it fades away. In two weeks that same tablet will go on sale for $200. The truth is, every single tablet is worth buying for some person out there. You can find some simple channels out there, but those same channels will review a $300 tablet and say it's "crap" because it's not half as good as their $900 device. Then someone who buys a $100 tablet from Walmart, who thinks the whole tablet is amazing, they will leave confused. I try my best to thread the needle and give nuance. When I make a video, I compare the device to other devices at the same price range. I share the benefits and the cons and I let people make their own decisions. In this case, this tablet has a good display for the money, performance is average for the money, software updates aren't great, but it has a really great keyboard for productivity, and a great refresh rate which is unheard of at this price. Is it worth it? It depends on what you value. Maybe that's the frustrating part, I don't give people the answer. Some people want a great display and a great refresh rate, some want great performance. I give the pros and the cons so they can listen and decide what they want. So I try my best to compare to devices at the price range, talk about different parts of the device, and I really talk about "who should consider buying this". But if you value other things, I give you other devices to look at. Again, sorry if I'm missing something, but I'm trying to do something most reviewers don't. Instead of giving a simple answer, instead of giving a simple "buy it" with no nuance, instead of giving advice that lasts 2 weeks (don't buy it for retail price) I'm giving advice with nuance (buy it when it's on sale for $200) or "buy it if you are coming from a lower end device and you are okay with lower end performance". That's the needle I'm trying to thread. If you have any suggestions, I'm open. But you need to hear this out. If I say the display is great, part of my audience compares it to the S9 Ultra and thinks it's supposed to be that good. If I say it's great for some people, they think it's better than their crap tablet. It's a hard thread to needle and I'm doing the best I can.
