Thanks for the detailed review. I’ve also noticed that in Netflix video, there is always brightness adjustment or flickering. Only noticed it in Netflix.
Now before I was watching your previous video of XiaoXin with the 730 and when I looked for it on Aliexpress, a renewed version appeared and I had several doubts, by chance now a few hours later I come to UA-cam and boom you uploaded a video on the subject. What synchronicity! I'm going to take this as a signal from the universe hahaha
Too bad android apps are still shitty on the tablet side. Hopefully with Windows 11 supporting Android apps more developers will work on making better Android apps.
Thanks so much, you are the first person to finally let me know about the refresh rate of the display! Google was too busy telling me the gen 2 has 120hz to let me know what this one, the gen one was.
@Weenie Hut Jr's this isn't a problem at all. It happens everywhere even with cars. When the original OEM can't sell their products outside of China, or in a specific country, then they make a deal with another OEM who can sell it there.
This tablet would have been a great buy for me if as follows: - Lenovo really cares about software updates (at least upgradable to Android 12/13) - Bump that RAM spec to at least 8GB - Can connect to external monitor or TV via USB type C to HDMI cable
Lenovo's android update history is extremely poor and for some tablets, released with Android 9, they didn't even provide a single update. I'll be looking for last year's Galaxy Tab S6 or exchange offer in Tab S7+
Can confirm type c to monitor working, I have the tablet For the ram issue, disable auto clear background app for better multitasking experience The only downside is ZUI13 is still not a matured system
Looks really good. I hope you get a P11 Plus because that looks like a great tablet too. snapdragon 750g which is currently on sale in china for $300. I'm still tempted to go for the iplay 40 for a family member if the xiaomi mipad 5 doesnt come out soon enough
Hello, Im planning to buy the 2020 version because I think I do not need the extra power of the 2021 version, based on your experience, how's the 2020 version when it comes to power? Is it sufficient ?
@@xyndryx4995 It's pretty good. I haven't tried gaming on the tablet but I believe it would be sufficient because anything else I 've tried it handles with ease.
@@Zero11s absolutely no reason to average consumer consider that .. for now big 👍 Lenovo trying to promote android tablets, and with the specs and PRICE, they are made interesting device for those who prefer android OS.
I would be more comfortable with an lcd if you need it on for so long, burn in is a REAL issue with amoled and im tored of people pretending its not. The only reason the always on thing started with amoleds was because of the small battery consumption, the screen will fall appart faster than lcd
@@caquita402 I have been using Mi 8 that has AMOLED for almost 3 years now and I have still not having the said burn issue. I love that phone and replaced the battery which should last me for another 2 years of use. Maybe the issue varies with each phone though.
Yeah dont try using any OLED display for long lasting images. I got screen burn in on my oneplus 7 pro from the status bar and a huge block from my occasional reading.
Actually I use android Yoga Book and want nothing else. It's just fast enough still, and the keyboard/screen is great. It's less flimsy than this and lighter also at
Finally the tablet gods have lined the universe and enabled the *tablet king* to review this beast of an android tablet. My favorite feature is the PC Mode, which I think is a must for all tablets. It just makes working on a tablet that much more efficient. I'll be waiting for another miracle at which Chris will review the pad plus next! 😂😂
Finally pulled the trigger to get this tablet. I already have a tab s7 but with the price of this I figure might as well pick it up. Excited to use this device. Getting it Wednesday.
@@sdqsdq6274 I know, but some manufacturers like to say that they can't fit a headphone jack and make a thin phone/tablet at the same time, when that's something they could definitely accomplish (and have accomplished) if they actually cared.
Hi Chris, I just got this tablet. What pen do you have? EDIT: Nevermind, I see later in the review, I've watched this one like 4 times now. I thought it was the Precision Pen 2, but I'm not sure if the European one is the same as the Chinese one.
Well done Chris, great review!! Looks like the Lenovo's Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021 is a winner!! The price to performance is hard to beat, the only issue seems to be lack of OS updates...Keep up the great work & stay safe.
@DS that would be great & a huge surprise/bonus...but with Lenovo's track record I'd be happy if they updated the OS to Android 12. Even so this looks like a solid tablet & I'm more than likely getting one. 🍻
This is an awesome Tablet for the price Chris! 👍👍 With the 870,those Jbl speakers, and that thin body, gaiming on this will be a Joy. Except for the minor cons, which are no deal breakers. This one is truly the full package. Very nice 👏👏
I've got a 1TB SD card in mine! I was surprised how much I liked the keyboard, it's think but solid, definitely better than the Samsung keyboard. This tablet has replaced my windows laptop. The way I worked & needs changed. Battery life on I've change is really good. The back cover is great, the magnet is really really strong so there's no slipping.

Thx for your insight & glad to hear you're enjoying the table. When you have a chance can you confirm it take 2 hrs to charge as per what Chris said... Gizmochina's review of the tablet said it take 3 hrs to a full charge. Thx.🍻

Great video, considering Chris was making this video on the fly. Chris has done a great job to review the tablet's limited support with streaming services and its great gaming performance. I clicked the link at the descriptions, Giztop is showing the Pad Pro 2021 at $495. However, the last time I checked Sammy Tab S7 (11 inch) was selling at $530 at Amazon. (If memory serves me well...) Knowing the S870 chip is more or less a rebadge of S865, I find the grey market import lacks any appeal to those who have access to Galaxy Tab S7 at a reasonable price. The lost of DEX mode feature alone makes it hard to justify the tiny price difference. And the tricky Netflix/Amazon/Disney+ support situation simply puts me off too. Thank you Chris for the speedy coverage, you answered my puzzles in mind for the last few days when I was researching this tablet.
Agree. The software support alone from Samsung has a plus points. At the end of the day, it's really up to the consumer if they're going to shell out that money or stick with the lower priced tablet but next to none existing software updates.
S7+ is £675 in the UK for the 128gb version and I've just got a p11 pro 2021 version for £275 so in the UK anyway for new the p11 is well worth the compromise
When reviewing a stylus, can you test it by slowly drawing a straight diagonal line? You can use a ruler (Brad Colbow does this) and also drawing a circle slowly. This is usually how I judge if a stylus is good for work or not. So far only Wacom EMR stylus and Apple Pencil can pass this test ;)
Great, detailed, and honest review as always Chris! Hopefully the global version will have no issues with streaming services like Amazon and Netflix. No 3.5mm jack though-guess I'm going to stick with my Galaxy Tab S6 Lite for another couple years.
@@WednesdayRaven Thanks a lot for the update. Shame on Lenovo for not adding L1 support to the global ROM :( Well this means I'm going to stick with my Galaxy Tab S6 Lite for at least a couple years more.
No GPS?? HUH??? Plus that OLED display doesn't help much if Netflix and other video apps are only in SD with no HDR. This was looking like a winner but those software issues are deal-breakers.
Haissst! I’ve been in love with your reviews especially in Lenovo Tab P11 Pro! Damn you have very detailed review, your points are well rounded and not biased! I’ve been wanting this tablet to use for my online class but because I can’t afford it I’ll just downloaded and keep watching your review about this hehe I hope I could also have one! Or you could just give that to me 😅😍👊👊💯kidding (praying for a Good Samaritan ) Nice review I’m a fan!
Finallyyy 😁 very happy with the review and decided to pickup one for myself. Just one question, does hdr works with the netflix app? Using mainly for media consumption and on the box it says dolby vsion and atmos support. Please check and reply back thank you
@@Techtablets thanks for the reply, yeah i hope it will come updated with the upcoming global rom. It will be quite weird if the last model supported it and not here.
of course. Its SD870 chipset. Its performance is as good as the best android chipset currently. Dont get Samsung SD865+ as its quite bad for genshin impact.
Thank you for the actual machine review. It was very helpful. I don't like IOS so I was wondering what to do with the next device of the M6 turbo I'm using now, but I bought the Xiao Xin Pad Pro 2021 Chinese version. I was relieved because it seemed to move more smoothly than I expected. I'm looking forward to it.
Any other shops to buy from? Did you pay taxes for it ? And a little side question, is it better to buy this or the older version? i will probably use it for travelling and online streaming, such as netflix and amazon but I've read some comments about the HDR support which wont be available, do you thing it will be available in the future with some software update?
Any issues with warranties buying from China? Lenovo support it? This is like $300-400 on sale on Bangood I think Also, USB-C adapters/USB hub work to allow regular USB keyboard/mouse/headphones? I don't want to get hammered on accessories. I'm also curious if GeForce Now, Xcloud, Stadia work on this?
hello fine sir. great detailed full review as usual. thanks so much for that. just concern about the pen, is it magnetic can attched to the tab? or can be stored inside the cover? also i missed the info, what other stylus is compatible with the tab?
Im planning to buy a tablet and was torn between lenovo pad pro 2021 or mi pad 5. I choose pad pro in the end. I prefer that 11.5inch OLED display, than a 120Hz refresh rate 😂
I was looking for something to read eBooks and play genshin, since my zFold3 struggles with these two functions. Both covered in this review fantastically!
Now I know the JBL speakers are great when the audio output from the speakers of my 3-year-old laptop feels like a full stereo sound system. Lolz.... Btw, great review.
Thanks for the review. Are you able to comment on their patch update situation? Does it get a monthly patch like Samsung? Just wondering if you know how long b4 they'll stop updating it? Thanks
Great review as always. Regarding Amazon Prime Video quality, Widevine L1 doesn't imply that it will support 1080P or HDR. Manufacturers need to work with Amazon to enlist the Device and I highly doubt that the Chinese version will ever have that. Some of the highest end LG Phones have the same issue, despite having QHD resolution, HDR and Widevine L1 Support, Amazon Prime streams with HD quality. BTW, does it support HDR in Netflix?
Yes it must be an approved whitelisted device for FHD. No Netflix while FHD support is there HDR is currently not supported by Netflix I hooe this changes soon.
I'm also waiting for the miPad 5. From the leaks, this one seems better but I'm doubting with the software updates. MIUI is buggy but at least, I am assured that miPad 5 will receive software updates in the future unlike this one.
Hi sir. Can you check DRM Info again on your lenovo Xioxin Pad 2021 ? Last 2 days, Neflix quality drop down to SD and when I check DRM Info it said Security Level L3 and Its widevine in Netflix showa L3.Why it happen suddently ?
This is because you're tablet is on a global Rom, you'll need to flash back to the Chinese Rom if you want L1 and OTA updates. Check XDA forums for instructions on how to flash it back.
@@Techtablets I get it. But at the beginning you say it is new one P11 pro better than old one P11 Pro. But I've investigated you are right. They both P11 PRO but one with 2021 postfix.
Hey Chris great review and detailed as usual. I have ordered mine from giztop a week ago and should be arriving soon. Was wondering if the keyboard case for the p11 pro 2021 is the same one as the p11 pro 2020. In that case might get it from the Lenovo UK store later on if I need it.
Should be the same. because last year version is exactly the same dimension and weight as this new one. amazed how everything the same on the outside but so many upgrade in the inside.
Hi, bought this few weeks ago, like you mentioned in the video the tablet does support widevine L1 but since yesterday I realised the widevine changed to L3. I did updated the tablet to latest zui version. May I know do you have this issue? Thanks.
To confirm. Netflix is in FHD but no HDR. Amazon Prime Video SD! Amazon seems to run a whitelist for approved devices...

It’s prominent when you adjust the brightness in the Netflix app. You will notice it when it is Low brightness.

Nice review I’m a fan!
Thanks for watching!
Finallyyy 😁 very happy with the review and decided to pickup one for myself. Just one question, does hdr works with the netflix app? Using mainly for media consumption and on the box it says dolby vsion and atmos support. Please check and reply back thank you
@@Techtablets thanks for the reply, yeah i hope it will come updated with the upcoming global rom. It will be quite weird if the last model supported it and not here.
I like the Lenovo Tab P11 Plus better because it is more affordable and comes with a mediatek helio processor. Really good for school work...
Wow the tablet looks really nice. 👍🏾 Great review.
Ginshin Impact run at 60fps high setting?
of course. Its SD870 chipset. Its performance is as good as the best android chipset currently. Dont get Samsung SD865+ as its quite bad for genshin impact.
The snapdragon 870 is like a snapdragon 865+ in performance maybe a little better so yes it can do 60fps
@@filip1997andersson geshin impact plays poorly in samsung tab s7. Alot of frame drop
Does the pen uses battery, or was it battery-free? This could be a perfect companion device for personal and work use for me
Built-in battery that need to be charged
@@1243heng I see. Thanks for the note
Thank you for the actual machine review. It was very helpful. I don't like IOS so I was wondering what to do with the next device of the M6 turbo I'm using now, but I bought the Xiao Xin Pad Pro 2021 Chinese version. I was relieved because it seemed to move more smoothly than I expected. I'm looking forward to it.
Glad it was helpful! It's very smooth and quick this one.
Price ?
Any other shops to buy from? Did you pay taxes for it ?
And a little side question, is it better to buy this or the older version? i will probably use it for travelling and online streaming, such as netflix and amazon but I've read some comments about the HDR support which wont be available, do you thing it will be available in the future with some software update?
Great video, Chris! Thank you. How do you compare between this tablet and Mi Pad 5 Pro? Planning to get a tablet for my mom 😊
personally would deffo get the mi pad 5 pro, both hardware and software wise is just better
Thank you for the consistent content !
Love your honest review ❤️
Hello TechTablets. Thanks for this video. I have a question. Does this tablet have the DC Dimmung?
Any issues with warranties buying from China? Lenovo support it?
This is like $300-400 on sale on Bangood I think
Also, USB-C adapters/USB hub work to allow regular USB keyboard/mouse/headphones?
I don't want to get hammered on accessories.
I'm also curious if GeForce Now, Xcloud, Stadia work on this?
Hey Chris, Thanks for the video
if I am getting this and samsung galaxy tab s7 at same price. Which one should I choose and why? any insights?
such informative overall review 😊 Thanks.
Wow, really liked the audio :)
in terms of graphics quality, which has more sharper look, xiaomi pad 5 or lenovo p11 pro 2021?
are you gonna review the xiaoxin 14 pro ryzen 5800h?
hello fine sir. great detailed full review as usual. thanks so much for that.
just concern about the pen, is it magnetic can attched to the tab? or can be stored inside the cover?
also i missed the info, what other stylus is compatible with the tab?
Im planning to buy a tablet and was torn between lenovo pad pro 2021 or mi pad 5. I choose pad pro in the end. I prefer that 11.5inch OLED display, than a 120Hz refresh rate 😂
It’s a 90hz screen
@@mikeyg9833 talking about the pad 5
Was waiting for the review. Thank you 😊. Please do a update video after few days and updates
I was looking for something to read eBooks and play genshin, since my zFold3 struggles with these two functions. Both covered in this review fantastically!
Glad I could help out.
Now I know the JBL speakers are great when the audio output from the speakers of my 3-year-old laptop feels like a full stereo sound system. Lolz.... Btw, great review.
Is it better to get the Global ROM or Original ROM for use in North America?
how will this compare to mi pad 5 pro? should i buy this instead?
Great review as always. I hope you can get your hands on with the regular P11 non pro.
Which is much better the Xiaomi mi pad 5 pro lte or this Lenovo p11 pro 2022?
I can't tell if the display fluidity is better on the Mipad 5 pro or if this is passable. I really like the high refresh look generally.
Hello, Chris . Between Xiaomi Pad 5 & this tab, which one has better speaker sound ? Thanks.
I think this model does.
@@Techtablets Thank you so much for the reply.
Thanks for the review. Are you able to comment on their patch update situation? Does it get a monthly patch like Samsung? Just wondering if you know how long b4 they'll stop updating it? Thanks
Great review as always. Regarding Amazon Prime Video quality, Widevine L1 doesn't imply that it will support 1080P or HDR. Manufacturers need to work with Amazon to enlist the Device and I highly doubt that the Chinese version will ever have that. Some of the highest end LG Phones have the same issue, despite having QHD resolution, HDR and Widevine L1 Support, Amazon Prime streams with HD quality. BTW, does it support HDR in Netflix?
Yes it must be an approved whitelisted device for FHD. No Netflix while FHD support is there HDR is currently not supported by Netflix I hooe this changes soon.
Latest update 12.5.157, cause Widevine drop to L3. Hope this can be fixed soon.
@@gavinloh9072 is there a fix to that? I just bought mine and it came with widevine l3. :(
YOU ARE THE EXPERT CHRIS,thank you,i trust you...
ZUI 14 installed in my Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021.
I am satisfied with that version, everything feels lighter
Good to hear thanks for the feedback.
グローバルファーム版が日本でも発売されることを期待しています。
分かりやすい説明ありがとうございます。
@TechTablets, where did you get the music and what is it titled specifically @11:55? I enjoy that type of music.
which in your opinion better alldocube iplay 40 or this?
I prefer this tablet more. Great review sir
Thankz for the review.
Now, what is left is the price of mipad 5.
Not sure when is it gonna release...
But, so far, p11 pro seems great
Yep mi pad 5 and pro can't wait 👍
I'm also waiting for the miPad 5. From the leaks, this one seems better but I'm doubting with the software updates. MIUI is buggy but at least, I am assured that miPad 5 will receive software updates in the future unlike this one.
@@nilskiemle9556 xiaomi product always get updates
Is the 2021 version worth the extra over the 2020 one?
Hi sir. Can you check DRM Info again on your lenovo Xioxin Pad 2021 ? Last 2 days, Neflix quality drop down to SD and when I check DRM Info it said Security Level L3 and Its widevine in Netflix showa L3.Why it happen suddently ?
Hi please reply me
This is because you're tablet is on a global Rom, you'll need to flash back to the Chinese Rom if you want L1 and OTA updates. Check XDA forums for instructions on how to flash it back.
Hi, do you know how to change the timezone on the Chinese rom? I go into settings => general settings and try to change my time but no way to do it.
good morning, but is it a reliable shop to buy? many reviews are negative
Xiaomi pad 5 vs the lenovo p11 pro 2021 model? For normal daily use Netflix, UA-cam and so. No hardcore gaming :) which should i go for?
Have you encountered problems buying it from giztop?
Do you get frequent updates with this tablet? And will this get Memory Extension like the Mi Pad 5 has?
You confuse me. At 0:12 you say Lenovo P11 pro and then you say that new one is Lenovo P11 pro. What is the difference?
This is the Lenovo XiaoXin Pad Pro aka Lenovo P11 Pro. Same thing.
@@Techtablets I get it. But at the beginning you say it is new one P11 pro better than old one P11 Pro. But I've investigated you are right. They both P11 PRO but one with 2021 postfix.
Xiao xin pad vs ipad air which one is better for you
Hi chris, the kickstand where do you find it? it looks great.
Hi from Malaysia, Chris. Ty for this review. Have u heard of Labrick x90 5G 2021?
Hello. Will you be reviewing mi pad 5? Thank you.
Hey Chris great review and detailed as usual. I have ordered mine from giztop a week ago and should be arriving soon. Was wondering if the keyboard case for the p11 pro 2021 is the same one as the p11 pro 2020. In that case might get it from the Lenovo UK store later on if I need it.
Should be the same. because last year version is exactly the same dimension and weight as this new one. amazed how everything the same on the outside but so many upgrade in the inside.
@@MrMuhdyazid1143 Yeah that's what I was thinking but was curious to know if there is any difference on the keyboard itself.
Hi, bought this few weeks ago, like you mentioned in the video the tablet does support widevine L1 but since yesterday I realised the widevine changed to L3. I did updated the tablet to latest zui version. May I know do you have this issue? Thanks.
Same with the mi pad 5 pro sucks. But a fix is coming
Is this the global or the china rom version?
