The market of Android tablets may not be so competitive anymore and Apple seems to have the segment under its belt. However, there are several companies in the Android side of the coin launching competitive products for this particular niche of users. Lenovo is among the companies that are not interested in giving up the segment. The Chinese firm has just unveiled the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro and Lenovo Tab M10 HD for Kids.

The new slate packs a gorgeous 11.5-inch OLED panel with 2560 x 1600 pixels of resolution, HDR10, and Dolby Vision support. The tablet draws power from the excellent Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G platform and is available in variants with 4GB / 6GB of RAM. Storage-wise, there’s only a 128GB option. If that amount isn’t enough for you, you can expand it with a microSD card.
The tablet comes four JBL speakers with 2.5cc chambers optimized by Dolby Atmos. If features an ultra-slim chassis with an aluminum-alloy unibody design and a dual-tone finish. The bezels are quite small with just 6.99 on all four sides and the device is 7.7mm thick.

If you prefer a conventional sensor for authentication, be glad to know that the Power button doubles as a fingerprint scanner.
In Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, the new tablet will set your customers back by €700. However, it’s much more affordable in the United States at a $500 pricing.
