In terms of performance, this should be a step above the cheapo Walmart(Onn)/Amazon-branded tablets and a step below the base iPad or the Samsung S10 Lite series. My unc has one and it's fine for watching conspiracies videos on YouTube and browsing the web. Watching a picture-in-picture video while simultaneously rambling on the facebooks is also fine.
Closest competitor to this like another comment alluded to is the Samsung A11+. The A11+ has a better CPU and longer software support while the Lenovo has slightly more RAM and a better display. If someone has a budget of sub $200 and just wants to do media consumption than this Lenovo Idea Tab should be fine.
Community Reviews
The Lenovo Idea Tab is a budget 11 inch Android tablet that stands out for its 2.5K screen, included pen, and solid media use. It handles streaming, web browsing, reading, YouTube, and light gaming well, with Balatro, Roblox, Minecraft, GTA San Andreas, and even some retro emulation getting positive real world use. The headphone jack, USB C fast charging, and 8GB RAM make it feel more capable than cheap entry tablets. The main drawback is the MediaTek 6300, which keeps it from feeling fast for heavier multitasking or demanding apps, and the 480 gram weight may matter if you want something very light. A practical pick for everyday entertainment and casual use.

My favorite size is 9" but my wife and kid like larger tablets.
So what size do you want... exactly.
My favorite size is 9" but my wife and kid like larger tablets.
For ebook reading and mobile touchscreen gaming, around 7-8".
Mind, I use iPads for the most part. My Android tablet is mainly just for emulation.
While there are plenty of better tablets, the price/performance on the iPlay60 was really good.
But right now... I am so excited about the 12.7" Lenovo for that price... that I think I will buy one. My wife's current tablet is cracked... HP 11" Chromebook Tablet... about 3 years old.
The biggest issue is that there's power leakage somewhere. If I am not using the tablet, it will go dead within a few days.
I have a 10" Amazon Fire that I got off Woot for $35. It can last over a week just sitting there. It is actually not bad for surfing and solitaire.

For example, my A7 is current running open source OS (checked the xda web site).
I wanted to buy Lenovo Idea Tab plus or Tab Pro. However, they are currently at Android 14 or 15. The upgrade path is up to Android 16. Maybe Android 17 at most. I consider this is not acceptable.
Some people mentioned about the tariff effects on Chinese tablets. Maybe it is true. Early this year, I ordered a 12" tablet from Amazon. I tried to cancel the order because I found different choices in ebay. But they already shipped. The seller offered me 20% or 30% discount during shipment. It turned out the tablet is very good. As I checked again in Amazon, the whole listing was gone. The seller left Amazon completely. They are gone forever.

1. Samsung has been fighting with google for the last decade... this is probably the reason for the new OS that will be coming out..."Aluminium OS". The fight is always about the users security and control of the OS.
2. Many updates don't ever get to the Samsung product because Samsung does not push them out
3. Hundreds/thousands of additional vulnerabilities due to One Ui, something you need to consider.
4. Many (most) updates get delayed until they push them out, it could be delayed like a year and during that time your tablet is vunerable (happened in 2025 with google play system update... was delayed FOR A YEAR)
5. APPLCOUD this is the new app that spies and you and has access to install software based on your web habits. And you can not disable this app. And some rando company paid Samsung MILLIONS to install this.. it is not even controlled by Samsung!!!
6. The bloatware, Samsung is KING and again, this comes with one UI bloatware, Bixly bloatware, hundreds of apps - all bloatware. This bloatware slows you down.
Also, I don't know of any tablet that you can change out the battery... but they all can be done, I recommend using a professional service, one that has all the tools. But really, by the time your battery is no good, I bet you that it was time to buy a new tablet years earlier.
Also, I would not buy a tablet with 6GB of RAM. You are asking for issues in the near future.
About the Chinese tariffs, it use to be no tariffs if the item cost below $800 and was shipped to you directly from China and China subsidized the delivery cost. This is almost over, you can still find decent CHEAP tablets but they are not as cheap as they use to be. The only cheap Chinese tablet that I can recommend is the Poco M1 tablet but AT THESE PRICES (THIS LENOVO DEAL)... it is a no brainier, you are getting a faster tablet for less money.
And I would NOT buy this tablet and I would get the more expensive one $235ish (from Lenovo)... the better screen, the better CPU, IMHO is worth it. I am now looking for a foam case for this tablet.
