As official Technology partner for the FIFA world cup, Lenovo has produced a few devices to complement their placement on one of the worlds largest sporting events. The Lenovo 11″ Idea Tab WiFi – FIFA Edition is one of those options, and Lenovo has sent it over for us to check out.
Priced at $498 and available through Officeworks, the Lenovo 11″ Idea Tab WiFi 128GB with Pen & Folio FIFA Edition includes a lot for the price.
Including a 2.5k resolution 11” IPS touch display offering great viewing angles, and powered by an octa-core Mediatek processor with expandable on-board storage, it’s got a lot going for it.
The included FIFA edition folio adds a touch of flair, and utility, providing protection and a convenient stand, as well as adding storage for the included stylus.
I’ve been using the Lenovo 11″ Idea Tab WiFi – FIFA Edition for a couple of weeks now, and here’s how it went.
At just a shade under 7mm thin and weighing in at just under 500 grams, the Lenovo 11” Idea Tab Wifi feels slim and light in the hand.
The tablet only comes in the Luna Grey Colourway on the rear with only a small camera island in the top right. It’s a good colour option – though other markets do get a Polar blue option.
It may be a little ‘bland’ but I like bland – especially if it’s just on a tablet I’m using on the couch. If you DO want something a little more colourful – the included folio is the way to go.
Made from a plastic material, the folio adds a little more heft and thickness to the overall size, but it does offer a nice amount of protection with a soft touch material on the inner-side of the front cover sitting flush on the display, while the outside has a slightly padded feel to it. The FIFA branding is fairly simple, and along with the free sheet of stickers, it’s about the only thing denoting the tablet as a ‘FIFA edition’.
Inside, there’s a moulded plastic liner to mount the tablet, keeping it in place with a place to stow the included stylus below the display for easy access. The stylus supports up to 4,096 levels of pressure, and is powered by a AAAA battery which from previous experience will last a long time – at least depending on how often you use it.
The front cover has a seam to easily flip it under to prop up the tablet when you’re working – or watching a movie.
The case does cover the three-point POGO pins on the bottom side of the tablet, which would be for connecting to peripherals like a keyboard, as well as charging – though a USB-C port on the end allows for that.
The case does leave room to access the power button on the left with moulded buttons that press the volume rocker on the top (in landscape). The case does however cover the microSD card slot on the top rail, where you can expand the 128GB of internal storage.
The 11” display works well. The 2.5K resolution display looks great for movies, and the quad-speaker sound system sounds good and includes Dolby Atmos tuning giving you spatial audio.
It’s plenty bright enough at 500nits peak brightness, though does look a little dim in broad daylight. The glossy display does show reflections, but nothing a little repositioning can’t fix.
The display includes a 5MP front-facing selfie cam in the display which will handle all your face unlock needs if you have that selected, as well as an 8MP fixed-focus camera on the rear.
The camera works, and while it’s not flagship level camera levels, it’s good enough for working on a tablet.
Under the hood, the Mediatek Dimensity 6300 platform paired with 8GB of RAM makes for a perfectly fine system.
The unit uses UFS 2.2 storage with DDR4 RAM, and so it’s not the fastest performance you can get from current gen hardware – but it’s good enough.
It loads most apps and games without any hiccups or stuttering – though if you throw some Bleach or Genshin Impact it will take a fair while to load. Once loaded though, the octa-core processor works well with very few interruptions.
As usual, we ran it through GeekBench and 3DMark and here’s how it went:
The tablet includes a large 7040mAh Lithium Ion battery, with a 20W USB-C charger included in the box.
Lenovo says you’ll get 12 hours of YouTube/video streaming or up to 14 hours of web browsing. The real-time use is pretty spot on, with a mixed-use getting close to 10 hours of decent use through a day.
The folio automatically shuts the tablet off once the cover is closed, and so you get excellent standby time meaning you can just pick it up and go whenever you need.
On the charging front, the 20W charger gets you from flat to full in around 130 minutes, with a 30 minute charge netting you 30% battery. It’s not the fastest charger, but it works.
The tablet comes out of the box with Android 16 running the March 2026 security update. There’s an Over-The-Air update available out of the box which brings the tablet up to June 2026.
Lenovo’s Software Update page says that the Idea Tab (TB336FU) will receive updates until July 2029, with an Android 17 update planned down the track.
| Tablet Model | Model Name | Android OS at Time of Launch | Future Upgrade Plan | Upgrade Plan Available | OS Release Date | Security Maintenance ends |
| Lenovo Idea Tab | TB336FU | Android 15 | Android 16, Android 17 | Android 16 | 2025 Q4 | 2029/7/1 |
The software build on the Idea Tab is relatively vanilla with the usual array of Google apps – including Kids Space and Entertainment Space for tablets.
There is some bloatware in the form of pre-installed games as well as apps installed on the tablet.
You also get utilities for the stylus including Nebo and Squid, as well as MyScript Calculator which appears to be for equations.
The Lenovo Vantage software is also installed, though it’s a slightly different one to what you see on their Windows laptops. You can still use the app for getting diagnostics, as well as get feedback, contact Lenovo and check for updates.
The Lenovo 11″ Idea Tab WiFi – FIFA Edition is a good tablet, though at 8 it’s leaning into the more premium range than other options we’ve seen from Lenovo.
It performs well though, with that 11” display looking good in most conditions and minimal interruption when launching apps and games or watching movies. It also includes a stylus and a folio case, making it a little better value.
The case offers a load of protection and utility, though it will date it if you’re not a massive FIFA fan – at least once the World Cup ends.
If you’re in the market, and a mad keen football fan, this is a pretty neat, limited edition item to nab. You can head over to the Officeworks website to check it out.
