Lenovo ThinkTab X11 Impresses With 10,200mAh Swappable Battery as 2-Year Android Support Undercuts Value

2 articles · Updated · mynexttablet.com · Jun 8

Summary

  • 9 hours 22 minutes of video playback, IP68 protection and a hot-swappable 10,200mAh battery stood out in MyNextTablet’s two-week test of Lenovo’s rugged 11-inch ThinkTab X11.
  • 800-nit brightness, a 90Hz LCD, reliable fingerprint unlock and a strong bundled stylus helped the tablet handle work, note-taking and outdoor use, with optional 5G, NFC and microSD expansion adding utility.
  • Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 performance was smooth for everyday tasks and many games at 60fps on lower settings, but benchmark results lagged rivals badly, leaving price-to-performance as a weak point.
  • 2 Android upgrades and 4 years of security updates were the biggest drawback, especially against Samsung’s Galaxy Tab Active 5 Pro, which the review said is nearly the same device with longer support.
  • If Lenovo prices the X11 well below Samsung’s alternative, the review said its removable battery, rugged case and solid stylus still make it a credible niche choice for field work.
