PHYSICAL and DISPLAY:
From the outside, the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro is no doubt a premium device. Its high-resolution 11.5-inch 2560 x 1600 2K OLED screen gives stunning visuals with punchy colors, an ideal display for an enjoyable binge-watching experience. However, unlike other screens of tablets, for example, an iPad, the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro's screen is not that visible when used under direct sunlight.

For the ports, the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro has the standard volume rockers, a power button that doubles as a fingerprint scanner, user-firing speakers, a SIM card tray with a MicroSD slot, and microphone pins. It lacks an earphone jack, but it has a USB 3.2 Gen Type-C port used for charging and listening to music via wired earphones.

| Dual Rear Cameras |
The back part of the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro has a nice anodized finish in a two-toned color -- the smaller left part is a lighter gray with a matte texture while the bigger right part has a black hue with a glossy touch. An oblong camera module sits on the left upper part of the rear cover of the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro, while down below is the familiar-looking Lenovo branding.

This tablet has a nice feel in the hands and is highly portable with its light and slim build. The bezels on its screen are thin and provide a good screen ratio that makes the display even bigger.
The Lenovo Tab P11 Pro's bottom part also has POGO pins that attach a portable keyboard to the tablet, making it a mini version of the Lenovo Yoga laptop. The keyboard provides a tactile and seamless typing experience, while the trackpad is smooth and responsive. It lacks backlighting, though, so you better have an extra light source when using the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro with its keyboard in a dark room.
Apart from the detachable keyboard, the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro works with Lenovo's Precision Pen 2 included in its package. The pen glides smoothly on the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro's display and is sensitive enough to record strokes for writing and sketching.
We've mentioned earlier that the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro is a device for binge-watching and what supports this claim further is how good this device's stereo is, which are consists of quad JBL speakers with Dolby Atmos. So if you're the kind of user who likes watching videos with loudspeakers, you'd appreciate the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro.
Top Five Features of the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro; Available For Php36,995
SOFTWARE and PERFORMANCE:
Inside this sleek device lies a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G processor coupled with 6GB of uMCP memory and 128GB of onboard storage. Overall, using the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro in daily tasks for productivity and entertainment feels like walking in the park. However, similar to other hybrid tablets that run on Android OS, there's somehow a "limiting" feel that comes with the device, especially when it's used just how you would utilize a laptop.
One of the factors behind this is how some apps that work perfectly in laptops aren't present in Android tablets like the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro. Most of Google's apps, though commonly used for work like Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and others, didn't give us any hiccups when used on the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro. The Lenovo Tab P11 Pro would have been the perfect go-to tablet if only it had a Chrome OS rather than an Android.
Here are the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro's benchmark results to give you more background about its performance.
- Antutu - 281,523
- Geekbench Single-Core - 566
- Geekbench Multi-Core - 1,634
- Geekbench Compute - 1,159
BATTERY:
The Lenovo Tab P11 Pro, for lack of a better term, may have been average when it comes to its performance, but its battery department somehow makes up for this.
Its 8,600 mAh juice with 20W fast charging offers a durable battery life that can last around 11 hours with moderate use. This is an impressive feat, especially since the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro has a big OLED screen.
Recharging the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro only made us wait for two hours and 47 minutes, thanks to its fast charger that comes in its package.
CAMERA:
Tablets like the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro aren't exactly for shooting, but the cameras of this device performed decently. Its two rear cameras consisting of a 13-megapixel autofocus sensor and a 5-megapixel fixed-focus shooter delivered acceptable photos, especially when used under well-lit environments. The lack of popping colors on the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro pictures is apparent, but this can be easily fixed with a photo editing app. The cameras of this device also have an ultra-wide-angle shooting mode.

| Selfie |
For selfies, there's an 8-megapixel front camera and an IR camera that functions when the face unlock feature of the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro is being used. But, of course, selfies are okay as well, and you can count on the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro's front camera during Zoom calls.
