Buy smart, don't just buy expensive. Most of the stuff those have you're never going to use, and many times, you're very well off with something 2-3 times cheaper. This should be taught in economics classes in schools. This was taught by american parents but sadly, people just go with brand names more than decades ago.
Lenovo is far behind in terms of software support. An Android tablet should receive (security) updates for at least 5 years in my opinion. This is the reason why I bought a Lenovo Chromebook duet tablet a couple years ago. It has 7 years of software support, and updates are supplied by Google.
This tablet literally proves that you can do productivity and as well as entertainment with a great display...at an Amazing price....(looking at you Samsung 👀) props to lenovo!!!
I just got the previous model from AliExpress couple of days ago, I was deliberating whether to get the 2021 or 2022, but the 2021 looked better for me because of metal build and slightly better SoC, absolutely fantastic machine replacing my ipad air 4th gen
Either way you can't go wrong. It's a shame we lost the metal frame but gained 120hz and a better sharper-looking screen. By the way the frame still feels fine.
I agree with metal build, it looks better and will definitely feel better. But you could have gotten the 8GB variant with same SOC. Either way you can't go wrong though
330$ with this OLED Display is really good and i think the cheapest you can get a decent sized oled tablet. and the multi tasking implementation is really pretty smart, never seen that before "HD Browser" with the internet explorer style logo LOL edit: did i miss it or was there no mention of Widevine ? I guess its not certified?
Oh maybe my editing cut it I thought it was mentioned in there Widevine level 1 Amazon prime video is FHD but Netflix doesn’t accept it yet and only SD for now.
So glad that Lenovo has created a superb Android tablet with and OLED to compete with Samsung's Galaxy Tab S Series which have become too pricey in the last few years. Ordered the P11 Tab Pro from Lenovo U.S.
Finally! A new tablet that ticks (nearly) all the boxes (oled, GPS, good CPU, battery). Great work as always Chris. I've just checked the Lenovo UK store and this is listed as the tab P11 pro (2nd Gen) (£349) I had to buy it ;)
happy to see that finally there is a new best value / money tablet after an almost 2 years reign of the xiaomi mi pad 5. the pad 5 is still better in few areas (such as build quality, battery, maybe even camera for those who care about it), but the pros of this tablet pass the cons by quite a bit. Nice!
Nice review! Please make review of the really cheap Blackview TAB 13 . (android 12, MediaTek G85, 6GB/128GB, dual speakers, 7280mAh battery) . It is hard to find great reviewers like you to tell us if this is a good buy. Thank you.
I know this is a really old review, but I bought the 2023 model, which has a different screen and SoC, but this was very insightful still to see ZUI and the quality of Lenovo tablets. Thanks Chris!

I bought the 2021 model a month ago based on your recommendation and am really happy with it. It is really on another level to any of the other cheaper tablets that I have owned. The 2022 model luckily for me isn't much of an upgrade, else I would be kicking myself. Mine has the 870 which is probably a better processor out of the 2. Although I see Giztop have a 2022 version with it in, in the options.
Hi... Just get european model (P11 Pro Gen 2), 8/256Go...yes, it's more expensive (549-50€), but it stays great considering the features (especially the OLED screen you haven't even on far more expensive tabs). I must add, it's currently the only tab that supports AV1 hardware decoding in Europe. It's futureproof for legal streaming! iPad or 8 gen 1 based devices have to do software decoding (high CPU and power consumption). European model has only 20W charger...charge lasts more than 2 hours
@@redpanda2657 yes I think, it only has Chinese and English, comes in Chinese by default. But I managed to delete all the Chinese apps. It gets updates just fine though.
Hi, I just ordered the SD 870 version off aliexpress with china ROM. Did the OTA update to Android 13 automatically or did you use a VPN to connect to a china IP address?
@@jdog8953 it was automatic just yesterday, i've been up to date with all the updates since I bought it (from aliexpress also). I thought that this version didn't have fingerprint scanner but actually it does! that's a pleasant surprise.
I got my Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 from China with SD870 SoC and 8+128G for US$360 which works really good. The screen is brilliant and it's very smooth. The speakers are great. When watching 4K viedeos on UA-cam, the pictures are stunning. I am very happy with it.
@@celestialbeingonepiece3861 They are quit similar. If you want a bigger display, then choose Mipad. If you want an oled display but a bit smaller and lighter device and SD card slot is important to you, then choose Xiaoxin Pad Pro. Both are a good choice.
Chris, sorry to bother you again.. If you was buying a tablet now, would you buy this or the Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro? I'm leaning towards this because of the amoled screen. Thanks..
Love your honest reviews. Its really a great help. I've been considering this tablet for quite some time. I just want to ask if what would be better, the default china firmware or have ir converted into global? Considering I live outside China. Thanks for noticing.
Compared to the Xioaxin Pad Pro 2021, would this one have the best display? But, on the other hand, the old model has the best Soc with SD870. So would the best choice be the cheapest model we can find?

You should review the new Oukitel RT2 tablet launching next week. from the specs and price it might be a hit! 20,000mah battery would make it practically last more than a day
Amazon prime it does and Dolby Vision I’ve seen come up. But Netflix it’s not acknowledging the widevine lv1 cert it has for some reason it might take a while.
Missing full HD for Netflix is a deal breaker for me, shame. But gotta admit oled 120hz display at this price it's an awesome deal, will keep an about updates about Netflix working in full capacity
Great review as always Chris! I saw that it comes with snapdragon 870 and 8gb of ram! Which version do you think is the best? I suspect the one with the snapdragon but I worry about throttling! What do you think about it?

Hi Chris. Is the HDR working on UA-cam? Also do you have the HDR logo when you check the video on Amazon? Same for Netflix? I remember on your video for the 2020 model it was available. Thank you !!!
I have got it on my Lenovo P11 Plus though. UA-cam in HDR. Lenovo does not fall under the devices that support HDR Netflix, only WideVine L1. You can see the supported devices on their support-list. I havent checked the HDR licenses for streaming apps suchs as Prime or Disney+ but i believe HBO Max app supports HDR10.
Thanks for the Review! A comparison to other pads at the Benchmark part would be great. Ordered it two days ago. I hope there is a posssibilty to flash the P11 pro Rom soon.
After watching your review.....I bought one. I was considering the Xiaomi Pad 5..... but saw a side by side video comparison and the OLED just destroys anything with an LCD screen.
Thank you for your great review. Gizmochina review they mentioned ( the 2022 model adds a screen plastic protective stand, making it look cheaper ) what do they mean ?
Hey, great review! I have a question. Is it possible that they downgraded the screen? Current Pad Pro 12.7 on Giztop says it has 12.7" 2.9K LCD screen, not and OLED or AMOLED
Purchased this, however, there doesn't seem to be a global rom or clear guide to root. XDA forum is lacking clear data on this device. Hope more information is released soon.
The last years have been a joy going with Lenovo's Yoga tablet series. First was the Yoga Tab 3 Pro with that built-in projector! Started to feel a little oudated and upgraded to the Yoga Smart Tab 10. The most recent upgrade was to the Yoga Tab 13, an epic device! I can't rave enough about the Yoga-range's built-in versatile kickstand and incredible audio!
please, does anyone know this new 2022 version low light bleeding screen solved? previous version 2021 screen look very horrible when in dark mode and low light mode
So, who are the Duet 3 & 5 marketed to? Also, I have a Xiaomi Mi8 Lite, no 3.5mm jack and the dongle supplied NEVER works! Have purchased replacement dongles which also don't work.
Thank for the review mate ! I wonder the Playstore is avaiable in this tablet (xiaoxin pad pro 2022). And which kind of ROM this you run on the device , the China or Global one ?
Here in my region (USA) the processor will be the Snapdragon 870, which basically runs neck in neck with the entry-level iPad's A13. Could be an interesting alternative for someone that wants an Android tablet with the option for a keyboard and stylus.
It's different to the last-gen model which also had more of a jagged look to the pixel arrangement. I'm not seeing black patchy banding or green at low brightness this screen seems perfect. It has Dolby Vision and works in Amazon Prime and HDR10+ it's a flagship level screen in my eyes 100%
comparing to the screen between xiaomi mi pad 5 pro and Lenovo xiaoxin pro screen, which is better?..... is there a big difference? will I face any problem with LCD screen?
This line of Tablets from Lenovo is truly great for the money. They pretty much tick all the boxes, apart from that headphone jack though! The Oled screen is an awesome selling point here! 👌 Definitely the mid range Tablet to get Chris👍👍✌
Doesn't seem to be readily available atm. Is available from your link for $340 or so including delivery to Europe. They don't calculate tax -- this would probably be another 70+ euros including processing charge. Is this tablet still a bargain at around 400 euros ?
The link Chris provided is Giztop shop. They claim if you select Express delivery there won't be additional charges (customs import fee and VAT). What you pay on the checkout is all of the cost.
I've got a Lenovo tablet. Not that model but really cheap and i cannot fault it. Using it right now! I have an aftermarket cover and keyboard. I don't use the keyboard all that much but it is does turn the setup into a laptop. So quick to get going, great screen. Add on a good battery life and it is a small amount of money well spent. Great company which supply UK local government.

@@Techtablets It is another desktop mode then, I get it. I wonder what is the point of Lenovo workning on two separate desktop modes for two separate brands that they own. Ready For is pretty good.

Would you say it is worth it? What would be the cons of the sd870 model besides the price? 3. Does the plastic body squick? Thanks!!
if u notice, the video author didnt reply. i think its not possible and he didnt outrightly advertise it. if u notice he just show a 4k video instead of netflix. This is a failure to be honest haha. OLED display but cant even play netflix in full HD
Super tempted to get this but software support is a huge deal for me. Does Lenovo typically support these tablets long term? Update - Just saw an article saying it'll receive 3 years of major OS and security updates. Can you confirm this TechTablets?
@TechTablets Hi dude you missed out on the 8GB RAM 😔 however you can still get it from Etoren. Also will you please review the Huawei MatePad 11 Pro? with 12GB RAM and it has Snapdragon 888 so yes Im guessing it will be pretty powerful
Hi I've been looking at some of the Chinese tablets and not sure what to buy. I'd prefer an amoled display (which basically only leaves me with 1 option) but if I let that slide there's about 6 other very good tablets at a similar price range so I'm not sure if I should consider one of those
@@Techtablets i have the option to get the snapdragon version with 8gb for 399$ while the MT1300T 6gb for 299$. is the snapdragon version worth the extra cost?

Started to feel a little oudated and upgraded to the Yoga Smart Tab 10.
The most recent upgrade was to the Yoga Tab 13, an epic device! I can't rave enough about the Yoga-range's built-in versatile kickstand and incredible audio!
The Yoga tab series is great with the built in stand!
I still remember your Alldocube X tablet review. I followed your recommendation and now am using it to watch your review now.
Thanks, it was a great tablet back then.
@@Techtablets can it run PUBG at EXTREME (60fps) frame rate ?
Yes on the smooth option it has extreme 60 FPS
@@Techtablets i'm definitely buying one , thanks a lot.
Hi! What about the non pro version? The xiaoxin pad 2022. Is it worth the buy? Thanks!
please, does anyone know this new 2022 version low light bleeding screen solved? previous version 2021 screen look very horrible when in dark mode and low light mode
I wanted to know that, he never mention about that 🤔
thank god i saw ur comment before i order it
Hello Chris! Can you review also the official pen(precision pen 3) for this tablet(lenovo pad pro 2022)
So, who are the Duet 3 & 5 marketed to? Also, I have a Xiaomi Mi8 Lite, no 3.5mm jack and the dongle supplied NEVER works! Have purchased replacement dongles which also don't work.
Thank for the review mate ! I wonder the Playstore is avaiable in this tablet (xiaoxin pad pro 2022). And which kind of ROM this you run on the device , the China or Global one ?
Hey!
Giztop is an non eu seller,and therefore one should have to pay the custom fees if you import from them (in Europe) How much did you have to pay?
What would you choose, this or Xiaomi pad 5/ 5 pro?
Thank for the review. I've got the previous version and I'm very happy with it, so will recommend this one to others.
Great tablets for the price
Thanks chris for this review. Is it possible to change firmware from Chinese to global?
With a plastic back cover, will this affect heat dissipation and cause thermal throttling?
Does this have problem such as sharpness & image retention like it's previous version??
I ordered the same tablet from giztop but it is full chinese software... how did you get english and Google Services and Google play store?
Damn so you can't even read anything in the settings? That's tough
Here in my region (USA) the processor will be the Snapdragon 870, which basically runs neck in neck with the entry-level iPad's A13. Could be an interesting alternative for someone that wants an Android tablet with the option for a keyboard and stylus.
It's possible to buy it in the EU too, but the Snapdragon version costs $100 more. At least you get 68W fast charging, instead of 30W, for those $100.
And 2GB more RAM. I don't think its worth it unless you multitask like crazy.
The only reason to get it over this one
Is Emulation
@@Techtablets In 3 or 4 years of app updates you're gonna wish you went with the extra ram I think. 😉
@@lmartins2797 mediatek has av1 decode. so it is more futureproof for high quality video.
The Lenovo tab 11 pro Gen 2 is the one to get, it's a variation of this one with a metal body.
isn't the one reviewed in this video the gen 2 version?
@@megumi_0yes 😂
Hi,
Does it still have the OLED screen quality issue as in , extreme dark condition you see the screen true weakness ?
It's different to the last-gen model which also had more of a jagged look to the pixel arrangement. I'm not seeing black patchy banding or green at low brightness this screen seems perfect. It has Dolby Vision and works in Amazon Prime and HDR10+ it's a flagship level screen in my eyes 100%
comparing to the screen between xiaomi mi pad 5 pro and Lenovo xiaoxin pro screen, which is better?..... is there a big difference? will I face any problem with LCD screen?
I prefer this screen, Pad Pro.
Well done, Chris. Good one, at last!
Yes finally a good one worth our time 🤩
This line of Tablets from Lenovo is truly great for the money. They pretty much tick all the boxes, apart from that headphone jack though! The Oled screen is an awesome selling point here! 👌
Definitely the mid range Tablet to get Chris👍👍✌
Do you have it? Is the screen good for Prime and Netflix? I just want to best screen for the money in a tablet
Been waiting for this
I wonder how much better the version with 8gb of ram and the SD870 is?
Doesn't seem to be readily available atm. Is available from your link for $340 or so including delivery to Europe. They don't calculate tax -- this would probably be another 70+ euros including processing charge.
Is this tablet still a bargain at around 400 euros ?
Also found it on Ali express but it's more expensive again (and doesn't include tax either)
The link Chris provided is Giztop shop. They claim if you select Express delivery there won't be additional charges (customs import fee and VAT). What you pay on the checkout is all of the cost.
Please share link of the keyboard original, stylush pan original, and case original from this product, i want to buy now, thank you
video output support better than S6 lite! thank you for the review!
Thanks for watching
Great review. Does it have screen mirroring to tv?
I've got a Lenovo tablet. Not that model but really cheap and i cannot fault it. Using it right now! I have an aftermarket cover and keyboard. I don't use the keyboard all that much but it is does turn the setup into a laptop. So quick to get going, great screen. Add on a good battery life and it is a small amount of money well spent. Great company which supply UK local government.
Hi chris can i ask this compared to the xiaomi pad 5 which is the better tablet? Because where i live this 2 are about the same price
Hola, tengo la versión global rom, pero no se actualiza, hay un problema con OTG, y no me proyecta la funcion HDMI, la compré en AliExpress, alguna sugerencia?
Bought exactly the same model from china. China ROM, and waiting for it to be delivered!
Nice enjoy, fantastic tablet for the price of it.
Netflix is good on it ? No issue with drm?
Is this the same series as the Lenovo P11 series? Just for china?
which would you suggest for me to buy?
the 2021 version with sd 870
or this one?
Man. looking forward to these tablets from Lenovo. What more can it offer on the next release?
Not a lot more maybe if they brought back the 3.5mm Jack ? That would be good
Great to se more quality tablets coming in. Xiaomi pad 5 pro 12.4 any soon on the test?
Hopefully.
WIth video out, what kind of desktop mode does it offer? Since Lenovo owns Motorola, is it their Ready For?
It’s clone display or desktop windows apps a big like Dex Windows style
@@Techtablets It is another desktop mode then, I get it. I wonder what is the point of Lenovo workning on two separate desktop modes for two separate brands that they own. Ready For is pretty good.
1. Can it be used as an external monitor for the laptop like the 12.7 inch model?
2. I see that for extra $50 I can get the variant with sd870, 8gb, fingerprint sensor and 68w charger. Would you say it is worth it? What would be the cons of the sd870 model besides the price?
3. Does the plastic body squick?
Thanks!!
Great review! I'm curious if it supports HD Netflix viewing? I have ordered (order is processing at this stage) this tablet because of this video...
if u notice, the video author didnt reply. i think its not possible and he didnt outrightly advertise it. if u notice he just show a 4k video instead of netflix. This is a failure to be honest haha. OLED display but cant even play netflix in full HD
shame if it cant play Netflix in its full potential :(
@@UnknownUnknown-qt6ft u havent got your set yet?
Use kodi
@@juanlaza3360 able to elaborate? U mean use Kodi to stream instead of Netflix?
Hello, Recently picked one of these up, and so far, I'm loving it. I was wondering if you have any recommendations for a case
Not really no but plenty on AliExpress.
@Techtablets okay cool, I'll give that a look 👍
Super tempted to get this but software support is a huge deal for me. Does Lenovo typically support these tablets long term?
Update - Just saw an article saying it'll receive 3 years of major OS and security updates. Can you confirm this TechTablets?
Fixes and updates they are good. But the last 2021 model is just about to finally get Android 12 it's they do it but damn slow at it.
I have the 12.6 Lenovo pad pro. their software support SUCKS. Mine is a top model and it's still on Android 11.
Very good question
Is there a finger print scanner on this model?
@TechTablets Hi dude you missed out on the 8GB RAM 😔 however you can still get it from Etoren.
Also will you please review the Huawei MatePad 11 Pro? with 12GB RAM and it has Snapdragon 888 so yes Im guessing it will be pretty powerful
My Matepad 11 Pro SD 888 review is here: ua-cam.com/video/OplFDDLUeLM/v-deo.html
How does the screen compare to the 2021 model? That OLED showed some strange blurry edges when displaying certain colour combinations...
The oled is not as good as Samsung be warned. I'm only looking because I'm sick of Samsung taking customers for granted.. 🇬🇧
that's a great tablet , can you confirm if runs PUBG at EXTREME (60fps) frame rate ?
Are there any risks on buying the China ROM? It's the one available in our country. Thanks for answering :)
Is the screen use pantel matrix?
Hi
I've been looking at some of the Chinese tablets and not sure what to buy. I'd prefer an amoled display (which basically only leaves me with 1 option) but if I let that slide there's about 6 other very good tablets at a similar price range so I'm not sure if I should consider one of those
Can i use it as a tv box ? The quality having picture to tv is the same or i loose something? And what about 4g 5g cellular?
Hello sir, is this oled screen same as last pad pro 2021 or better as 12.6 xiaoxin pad screen?
how big of a performance boost do u get with the sd870 compared to MT1300T?
Not at lot it's similar in speed.
@@Techtablets i have the option to get the snapdragon version with 8gb for 399$ while the MT1300T 6gb for 299$. is the snapdragon version worth the extra cost?
hello sir! how about the future software updates? how long will it last?
Which one will you choose if they are same price? pro2021(snap870) vs pro2022(1300t version) vs xiaomi pad5(snap860)
