Keep in mind. Gen 2 with 800nit, Snapdragon gen 4, etc. is releasing this month in NA. Likely why the drop in price

Don't expect the price to be less than $500 for the new model... maybe will be more then $600.

This could be the best tablet deal around based on specs.

The page says:

"LENOVO TAB PEN PLUS INCLUDED"

In my scrolling through the page I saw at least one other text (not selection and quotable as above) that said "included" as well. One was in a panel that changes with the little dots, and another is at the very bottom on the page.

When you put it in your cart it specifically shows as an included spec:
"Pen:Lenovo Tab Pen Plus"

I've had 2 Sammy tabs and liked them both. Both still work. Not sure about this one. I like an excellent screen and expandable storage.
And what two models did you have?

The truth... it doesn't compare in terms of speed.

Apple is the world leader for efficient strong CPU.

But this tablet is snappy.

I own this and the new Onn 13.2" tablet. When I bought the Lenovo, it definitely came with the pen and I was able to pick up the keyboard cover on Ebay brand new for $25.00. The Onn Tablet comes with a folio case and pen.

To answer a question posed earlier, the Onn will get at least 1 major Android update (it ships on Android 16) and 3 years of security updates.
The Lenovo is a more powerful tablet, but for typical everyday use, the Onn is snappier, likely because there is essentially no bloat at all. Uninstall the Walmart app and turn off the instant web games, and this is about as clean an Android tablet as one can buy. It's also significantly lighter than the Lenovo, while having a larger (and brighter) display, and comes with twice the storage. Because of its weight and excellent display, lately I've been pairing it with a Zenbook 14 for a ridiculously portable dual monitor setup.

I find myself using the Onn so much, I'm going to sell my Lenovo Idea Tab Pro and Keyboard cover pack.

This will be a relatively fast tablet. And should do all video viewing amazingly, it even has Dolby Vision.... displays pair the HDR and dynamic color capabilities of Dolby Vision with quad JBL speakers tuned by Dolby Atmos... all this to have a nice video experience.

About web browsing... yes it should be snappy BUT if you really want to improve your speed you should use Firefox and download and activate the addon... "Ublock Origin". Basically, after you install Firefox, google search "Firefox Ublock Origin" and install it. This will prevent Gigs and Gigs of internet data to never hit your CPU and this should be your biggest improvements regarding internet speed. If a specific website does not work due to the addon, then just use Chrome.

According to GSMArena, the price is expected around 550 EUR, which comes out to about $650 USD.

Not sure how accurate that pricing will be, but it should be taken into account... will the Gen 2 be approximately 3 times the tablet over the Gen 1?

At $230, I might actually bite this time. Been wanting to get a bigger tablet over my A9+ for Steam Link.

Almost everything you said I must question.

First of all, you call the Onn snappier after you delete the little amount of Walmart bloatware. I eliminated the small amount (I am sure it is more) bloatware that came with the Lenovo. But the Onn CAN NOT BE SNAPPIER in real life. Even if you have some bloatware left on the Lenovo... it is still SNAPPER, FASTER then the Onn it also has a much better GPU then the Onn.

Now you are saying that a 13.2" 2:3 aspect ratio is MUCH lighter then the 12.7" 16:10 aspect ratio. So the Onn is a MUCH bigger tablet and you claim it is MUCH lighter... AND I CALL OUT THIS BULLSHIT. Do you want me to post the actual weight of both tablets... you are right about one thing, one tablet is MUCH lighter then the other... do you want to guess which one is lighter... I will give you a hint, it is the SMALLER TABLET IS LIGHTER!!!


The Onn 13.2" weights 693 grams (2.12lbs) and the Lenovo Tab Pro 12.7" weighs 620g (1.37lbs).

So the Onn does have a larger brighter display (100 nits brighter) but even though it is larger display it's resolution is smaller. The Onn is 2.5K resolution and the Lenovo is 3k resolution... so the Lenovo screen is more sharper image. Now lets talk about refresh rate... the Lenovo Tab Pro has a higher refresh rate so the screen will be smoother. I am not convinced that the Onn screen is better.

OK... so the Onn has double the hard drive space which to me is a BIG DEAL. But I can make 128GB work. If you would get the Lenovo Tab Pro with 256GB hard drive then the hard drive technology goes from USF 3.1 to USF 4.0. Onn is USF 3.1.

And the best part of the Onn is that it can act as a second monitor... but you need to need it. Not many people looking for a tablet/monitor combo.

I feel the Lenovo Tab Pro is the MUCH better tablet. And yes... the only concern.. the biggest concern is the lack of security updates. I would manually make sure every 4 -6 months that google system is up to date and so is your browser and use Ublock Origin addon... that means your browswer will be firefox and ublock origin.. I would do this for every android tablet that I own.

tablets are too uselessly big these days, Ive spent the last 3 years now using 11+" tablets and when they get this big they start building them thinner & using lower grade aluminum alloys, as a result they start becoming way too easy to bend and break. I wish decent specced tablets would go back to 8-10". W/ the exception of gaming tablets with flagship specs that cost an arm and a leg (ironically smaller but more expensive than the larger counterparts) theres not a ton of mid spec devices in the small tablet space.

This tablet uses the MT8300 which is about equal to a Snap Dragon 8 gen 2. Also... the hard drive technology will go from USF 3.1 to USF 4.1 (you get this only if you are able to buy the 256GB version of the Idea Tab Pro).

So how much faster will the new model be... we need to ask notebookcheck to compare the two CPU and then add 2% due to the hard drive technology increase. So the increase in speed is 39% PLUS 2% = 41% FASTER... That would be HUGE for a low level tablet but for a highly functioning tablet, you would be hard pressed to notice unless you are playing some heavy games.

MediaTek Helio G100 and Helio G99 are virtually the same processor with identical speed and gaming performance. Your tablet is a G100.

I am sorry, your tablet can not even be discussed in the same breath as the Idea Tab Pro. Your tablet is a LOW LEVEL... or should I say.. the lowest level tablet that you can buy today. Maybe there is a worse fire tablet or a worse Onn tablet but really, the TCL NXTPAPER 11 Plus is a low end tablet.

I will say the one stand out feature is your screen... but the Lenovo screen is not too far off. My favorite part of your screen is the anti-reflection coating. But it is just 100nits brighter lower refresh rate and lower resolution. Almost a wash.

Regarding reading books...
Lenovo Idea Tab Pro features a dedicated Immersive Reading Mode specifically designed to make reading e-books and PDFs more comfortable on its LCD screen. This mode can transform the display to mimic the look of an e-reader.

HARDDRIVE: The Lenovo uses UFS 3.1 and the TCL uses UFS 2.2. Basically everything will run faster due to the difference in hard drive speeds.

RAM: LPDDR5X supports data rates up to 8,533 Mbps. In contrast, LPDDR4X reaches a maximum of 4,266 Mbps. Yes TCL uses DDR4X and the Lenovo Tab Pro uses DDR5X.

If I would have to classify the Lenovo Tab Pro I would say it is a HIGH END MID RANGE tablet. And TCL would be classified as "the lowest level tablet" that is for sale today.

I ordered this earlier in the week, supposed to have it today. I think there's really no other android tablet at this price with this level of performance and features. It's going to be my around the house tablet for the kids and wife to use and maybe I'll try some gaming on it.

Also, the Yoga Tab Plus is on sale for $475, it comes with the pen, kickstand and keyboard cover. I got it about a year ago for I think $495? It's been extremely solid, really quick performance, I use it at work with a wireless keyboard and mouse and a dual monitor setup and it handles it all really well. I retired my 2 in 1 laptop as this is easier to grab and through around my neck with a shoulder strap. So for anyone debating between paying potentially $650 for the next gen Idea Tab Pro, maybe consider the Yoga Tab Plus, it's running a snapdragon 8 gen 3 processor, still really powerful and relevant.
