Lenovo Yoga Tab 11 Review In India 2021

Lenovo yoga tab 11 reviews in India 2021

While the Android smartphone market is booming, the same can't be said for tablets. The tablet market is still dominated by a few manufacturers, significantly limiting your options. Lenovo has released the Yoga Tab 11, which is marketed as a family entertainment tablet. It boasts a 2K display, a built-in kickstand, and quad JBL speakers. On paper, all of these features look to be advantageous, but how does it feel to use this tablet in real life? To see if the new Lenovo Yoga Tab 11 is worth your money, I put it to the test.

Price and variations of the Lenovo Yoga Tab 11

The Lenovo Yoga Tab 11 comes with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage in a single configuration. It's also only available in Storm Gray, which is the only color option. This product's MRP is Rs. 40,000, however, it's presently on sale in India for Rs. 29,999.

Design of the Lenovo Yoga Tab 11

The Lenovo Yoga Tab series has a unique appearance, and this new model, like many of its predecessors, looks like an open book flipped over from the side. The cylindrical portion is near the bottom of the tablet when held in landscape mode, and it can help with grip in either hand when held in portrait mode. Two speakers are housed in this mesh-patterned cylindrical component. At the back, there's also an integrated kickstand. This is particularly beneficial given that many other tablets require an aftermarket gadget or case to stand upright. The kickstand can be adjusted to a variety of angles, making it easy to use the Yoga Tab 11 on a table.

The power and volume buttons are on the right side, along with a USB Type-C connection. The power button now has a textured finish, making it easier to differentiate from the volume buttons. This tablet also has a Nano-SIM slot for cellular connectivity. There are two more speakers (one on each side), for a total of four speakers. Two microphones are located near the 8-megapixel selfie camera on the top of the device. The tablet's uniform bezels surrounding the enormous 11-inch display aren't unduly large, but they're large enough to allow you to handle it without touching the screen.

The top half of the Yoga Tab 11's back is made of fabric, while the bottom half is made of plastic. The single 8-megapixel camera is also housed in the fabric layer. When you pick up this tablet, you will find that it weighs roughly 650 grams.

Specifications and software of the Lenovo Yoga Tab 11

A large 11-inch display with a resolution of 2000x1200 pixels has been included by Lenovo. It's an IPS TDDI panel with 400-nit brightness and Dolby Vision compatibility. The MediaTek Helio G90T processor and 4GB of RAM power the Yoga Tab 11. It also has 128GB of internal storage that can be increased with a microSD card. Lenovo does offer an 8GB RAM with 256GB storage option outside of India, but it isn't available in India.

There's also 4G LTE connectivity, as well as Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi support. The Yoga Tab 11 comes with a 7,500mAh battery and a 20W charger from Lenovo.

On the Yoga Tab 11, Lenovo has just made a few changes to Android 11. It was running the dated July Android security patch at the time of this review. A few Google and Microsoft programs, as well as Netflix, are preinstalled. Google's new Entertainment Space and Kids' Space apps are also supported on this tablet.

You can access Entertainment Space by swiping right from the main screen, which contains three tabs labeled Watch, Games, and Read. The Watch area aggregates material from all compatible apps, allowing you to focus on what you want to watch without having to go through each one individually. Netflix is not available, however, Youtube and Amazon Prime are. You'll find shortcuts to preinstalled games on the Games tab, as well as recommendations for more games from the Play Store. The Read tab has Google Play Books content recommendations.

Lenovo's default gesture navigation is activated, but you may disable it and use the normal three-button navigation instead. When the tablet recognizes a face, it activates the display.

Performance and battery life of the Lenovo Yoga Tab 11

Lenovo's user interface is simple and easy to navigate. While using the Yoga Tab 11, I did not detect any latency. App load times were reasonable, and I was able to multitask between a few apps without difficulty, albeit a few reloaded when I opened them, indicating that they hadn't been kept in memory in the background. Face recognition is supported by the Lenovo Yoga Tab 11's selfie camera. I had to punch in the code to open the tablet pretty frequently because it barely worked.

The display had good viewing angles in my perspective, and the brightness was more than adequate inside. Users can adjust the panel's color output and color temperature. The Dolby Audio quad-speaker system delivered adequate bass and was loud enough to fill a small room.

The stainless kickstand may not appear to be attractive at first glance, but it provides a great deal of convenience when watching videos. This tablet might be propped up in various positions on a table or even a bed. The Yoga Tab 11 is a good choice for those seeking a tablet primarily for entertainment.

To check how the Lenovo Yoga Tab 11 performed, I ran a few benchmarks on it. AnTuTu gave it 290,180 points, and Geekbench 5's single-core and multi-core tests gave it 470 and 1,608 points, respectively. The Yoga Tab 11 received a score of 3,297 in the 3DMark graphics benchmark.

On the tablet, I loaded Battlegrounds Mobile India to check how it handled gameplay. I was able to play the game with HD graphics and a high frame rate without experiencing any lag or stuttering. However, playing on this large tablet is not the most pleasant experience. I detected a 6% decline in battery level after 23 minutes, which was okay.

The primary camera of the Yoga Tab 11 is 8 megapixels, and the selfie camera is also 8 megapixels. I wasn't anticipating a feature-rich camera app, so the fact that it was simple with only a few shooting options was not surprising. What I liked about the selfie camera was that it had a very broad field of view. This was particularly beneficial for making video calls. The rear camera of the Tab 11 takes only acceptable photos.

The Yoga Tab 11's battery life was excellent, lasting 3-4 days on a single charge. Every day, I spent three hours watching YouTube videos, reading Reddit, and playing casual games. I discovered that idle power drain is really minimal, allowing the tablet to survive a long time on a single charge. The Yoga Tab can be charged 11 to 25% in half an hour and 50% in an hour with the included 20W charger. It took a little more than two hours to fully charge the battery.

Verdict of the Lenovo Yoga Tab 11

The Yoga Tab 11 was released in India shortly after the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro 42,999, and it targets a distinct market niche. With a beautiful display, strong speakers, and a large battery, the Yoga Tab 11 gets the fundamentals right. While the built-in kickstand may appear to be a gimmick, it is actually incredibly helpful.

The Lenovo Yoga Tab 11 is an excellent choice for individuals seeking a tablet for entertainment. In fact, it's powerful enough to handle some light gaming. At around the same price, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 27,999 could be a good alternative, and it also comes with a stylus. If you're part of the Apple ecosystem, the Apple iPad is a good option (9th Gen).
