Lenovo Tab P11 Pro Gen 2 hands-on review

Introduction

The Tab P11 Pro Gen 2 is the sequel to Lenovo’s 2020 flagship tablet. The Gen 2 is a bit of a mixed bag, as it improves on a few features over the previous model, but also leaves several others on the cutting board.

For starters, Gen 2 has a newer and faster MediaTek Kompanio 1300T chipset that replaces the older Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G, a 120Hz display, and you can now configure memory up to 8GB RAM and 256GB of storage. On the other hand, the new model has a plastic construction instead of aluminum, lacks the ultra-wide camera on the back and the fingerprint sensor, has a smaller 400 mAh battery and a also a bit smaller screen with a slightly lower resolution.
