At a beginning value of $179.99, the Lenovo Tab M11 undercuts the likes of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Google’s first-gen Pixel Pill whereas primarily going toe-to-toe with the Galaxy Tab A9 Plus.
Incapable of holding its personal towards the greatest Apple iPads on the market when it comes to uncooked efficiency, the Tab M11 ought to nonetheless be capable of ship a good stage of energy (for the sub-$200 class) due to an octa-core MediaTek G88 processor. That is paired with 4GB RAM, which is… not precisely preferrred for heavy multitaskers, however the Dolby Atmos-enhanced quad speaker system and 90Hz FHD+ LCD display promise to maintain you entertained on the go in nice audio and video high quality.
