This previously popular tablet is back on sale for a record low price and while the 2023 version is out already this version is arguably better due to the OLED 120Hz display, GPS and price. The other highlights include Widevine L1 DRM for Netflix HD, USB 3.2 with Video Out and the MediaTek Kompanio 1300T is a flagship CPU that performs on par with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 CPU.

If you're interested you can get it cheaper from this listing for US$225.28 (~A$350.51) if you choose "Color: Original Sealed". Be quick as there's only 5pcs left! Sold out.

Other features include Android 12 / ZUI (Android 13 / ZUI 14 via OTA), 11.2" 2560x1536 OLED display with 600nits brightness, HDR10+ & Dolby Vision, 128GB UFS 3.1 Storage (microSD support), 8200mAh battery with 30W fast charging, 4 JBL Speakers with Dolby Atmos, 13MP rear camera, 8MP front camera, WiFi ac, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS and POGO pins for charging/keyboard.

For reviews Techtablets has praised this tablet with the downside being no headphone jack.

Please note: You'll want to order this tablet with the Original Sealed Chinese ROM due to there being no official Global ROM. Any seller that advertises a "Global ROM" has stitched together a ROM from another tablet resulting in an unlocked bootloader (risk of preinstalled malware), bad performance, no OTA updates, no Widevine L1 DRM and no fast charging. The CN ROM does not suffer from any of these issues.

      You download and install Google Play from the Lenovo app market. It just can't ship with it installed in China so that's why.

        I had to do something similar with my current Xiaomi tablet several years ago, to get the Google Play store. I can't recall the exact process.

        'Little Rice' Xiaomi doesn't seem to be cool anymore. There haven't been any popular Xaiomi tablet/phone posts lately on Ozbargain.

      Better/brighter OLED display, significantly more powerful CPU and bigger battery to name a few. That one is considered to be the Xiaoxin Pad Plus in China so it sits between the Xiaoxin Pad and the Xiaoxin Pad Pro (this).

        +1

        I own one of these tablets from a previous deal (about $90 more and no regrets) and got the impression that only the precision pen 3 will work based on reviews. E.g. many of the 1 star reviews in that link are from people with this tablet / P11 pro gen 2 who state it doesn't work for them.

        Any deals on the precision pen 3?

      • Ngotorious on 19/09/2023 - 10:46

        Unfortunately, that pen is not compatible. Reddit/reviews/manual seems to say only the Precision Pen 3 is compatible with this tablet. Here's an example of the pen - https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/accessories-and-software/tabl…

      Doesn't come with the Google Playstore preinstalled. You need to download it from the LenovoAppMarket.

      Once the language is set to English the CN ROM is pretty similar to the Global version according to posts by owners on previous deals.

    Updates are few and far between and unless you are an advanced android used (side load, customization etc) then you are potentially going to be dissapointed.

    Also, if you have a problem it costs about $200 to send back to China. I know as I had a screen problem with mine.

            @Schrodinger: No worries. I was searching through their AliExpress listings to see if there were any duplicate listings with cheaper prices (which is common on AliExpress) and stumbled upon the 8G ver with Snapdragon chip.
            Still on the fence whether I truly want one of these things or not…
            I do sometimes need the portable power to play some gacha games I mean graphical intensive applications on the go, but those occasions are far and few.

              @peteranh3105: I was a bit bummed when I found out that that there's a snapdragon variant with super fast charging and more ram and then I saw your post :)

              I was also on the fence. I haven't had a tablet for the last 8 years after the previous ones broke.
              I have an older Surface Pro (too heavy and bad battery now) and a Kindle Scribe. So I wasn't sure if I need any more devices around this screen size. I like my wife's Galaxy Fold but wish it was slightly bigger. Tha Galaxy Tab S8/S9 Ultra seems nice but I don't feel like spending that much to try out if I'd like this or not.

              I don't have big hopes for this in terms of performance.. I'm thinking of using this for YouTube videos and game streaming from my PC and Laptop. Maybe retro games locally too paired with a PS5 controller. I was also considering the Steam Deck but the LCD display is a deal breaker for me since pretty much all the devices I use day to day - mobile, laptop, TV have OLED screens and I'm quite used to them.

    • shoppingpenguin on 19/09/2023 - 19:38

      I've been wanting a tablet for a while, so I saw this post today and became super interested. I was debating between the 6GB/8GB ram version too, but decided to cop the extra cost for 8GB RAM to just future-proof it for another couple of years with android updates. Seeing as how all my tech devices are using 8GB RAM right now, I also thought it would be safer to stick with that.

      Also because I needed to grab a few more things, and decided on the 8GB, I tried to qualify for the $40usd aliexpress discount offer (min.$300 us spend, with code 930).

      In my research I also found some other subtle differences with both models notably, the 8GB version also comes with 68W supercharging (vs. 30W) and fingerprint unlock on on/off button. So that may sway your decision to one over the other.

        • peteranh3105 on 20/09/2023 - 17:12

    Also want to confirm because if it doesn’t come with any accessories, imma shop for some.

    • Clear on 20/09/2023 - 21:14

      Under the price you select your bundle. The default cheapest one is the tablet itself, then there's another bundle for more with the case and film. The keyboard/pen bundles are OOS.
