In a world built on mobility and accessibility, tablets have become a worthy alternative to laptops, especially when they come with the specs to support it.
One of the best options in this category is the Tab M11 – an 11-inch Android tablet with a balanced specification sheet, thoughtful design, and a screen that makes up for what’s missing. The first thing you notice when holding it is its size. The aluminum body is relatively thin (around 7.2 mm) and very light (465 grams). It feels nice in the hand and solidly built, including the frame. In the box, you’ll also find the Lenovo Tab Pen and a Folio cover.
The 11-inch IPS screen is one of the model’s highlights. It features a Full HD+ display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and a 90Hz refresh rate. What does that mean? Smoother scrolling, a more pleasant gaming experience, and quicker animation response. The brightness is quite reasonable – while it’s not ideal for direct sunlight, it works perfectly well for indoor or office use. The colors are accurate, the sharpness is high, and the viewing angles are very good. There’s no OLED or advanced HDR here, but for the price – it’s an impressive display that serves everyday needs very well.
Under the hood, you’ll find the MediaTek G88 processor, a chip designed for mid-range devices. It combines two powerful Cortex-A75 cores with six energy-efficient Cortex-A55 cores, along with a Mali-G52 GPU.
With 4GB of RAM (and an optional 6GB version), performance is good – as long as your demands aren’t too high. The tablet handles apps and light games with ease. For heavier tasks like video editing or demanding games, it struggles a bit – but that’s expected at this price point.
One of the standout advantages of this tablet is its battery: A 7040mAh capacity that provides 13–15 hours of usage – depending on how you use it. Charging is via USB-C at a 15W standard. It’s not super fast – a full charge takes about two and a half hours – but the battery holds up well even on busy days.
The tablet includes two basic cameras – a rear camera and a selfie camera, both at 8 megapixels. They’re fine for Zoom, video calls, and casual photos – but not much more. In low light, image quality drops, so don’t expect performance on par with a mid-range smartphone.
In addition, the Tab M11 is equipped with four Dolby Atmos-compatible speakers, delivering a much richer and more immersive sound experience than expected. The audio is clean, powerful, and impressive – whether you're watching movies or listening to music. The tablet also includes a 3.5mm headphone jack, a welcome addition in a world where headphone ports are disappearing.
The Tab M11 comes with Android 13, mostly clean and free from bloatware. Lenovo promises two version updates (up to Android 15) and security updates until 2028 – quite impressive for a budget tablet.
Stylus support (Lenovo Tab Pen Plus) adds extra value – for drawing, freehand writing, and even taking notes. The pen is sold separately, but adds a professional touch for creative users or students. Naturally, the tablet includes USB ports, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity. It’s an ideal device for families, students, and anyone looking for a solid tablet without paying a premium price.
