If that 5G model is looking too expensive, the Lenovo Tab P11 5G will give you the next-gen connectivity at a price of € 500 without VAT. Alas, this one isn’t coming to North America either, but will be available in the EMEA region from October. This is a slightly smaller tablet with an 11” IPS LCD with 2,000 x 1,200 px resolution and 60Hz refresh rate, making it similar to the vanilla P11. Dolby Vision is still supported (though HDR10+ is not) and the peak brightness is 400 nits.
However, this one is powered by a Snapdragon 750G chipset (replacing the 662), which will offer higher performance plus 5G connectivity (on the sub-6 GHz bands). The chipset is paired with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB storage (for comparison, the vanilla model started at 4/64 GB). This tablet can still do some work. It supports the keyboard add-on and a stylus (the older Precision Pen 2), plus its USB-C port features DisplayPort functionality so that you can hook up an external monitor.
It can have some fun too with four JBL speakers with Dolby Atmos. The 7,700 mAh battery can last up to 12 hours of video streaming and supports 20W fast charging (the same as on the P11). This more affordable tablet loses the all-metal build, but it is a tad lighter at 520g. Also, it comes in three colors instead of just one.
