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.
