Acer has expanded its tablet lineup in India with two new 5G models aimed at users who want larger screens for entertainment, browsing and productivity. The Iconia Tab 11 5G starts at ₹23,990, while the Iconia Tab 12 5G starts at ₹26,990.

The Iconia Tab 11 5G will be available through Flipkart and Acer’s online store. Buyers can purchase the Iconia Tab 12 5G through Flipkart, Amazon, Acer exclusive stores and the Acer online store.

The ₹3,000 price difference separates the two models. The larger Tab 12 5G offers a bigger, higher-resolution display and a 10,000mAh battery, while the Tab 11 5G provides a more compact screen.

Acer Iconia Tab 11 5G vs Tab 12 5G: Display

The display is the most noticeable difference between the two tablets. The Acer Iconia Tab 11 5G features a 10.95-inch IPS panel with a resolution of 1,920 × 1,200 pixels. It supports a 90Hz refresh rate and offers peak brightness of up to 450 nits.

The Iconia Tab 12 5G gets a larger 12.2-inch IPS display with a resolution of 2,400 × 1,600 pixels. It also supports a 90Hz refresh rate, although its listed peak brightness is lower at 400 nits.

The larger screen and higher resolution could make the Tab 12 5G more suitable for reading documents, viewing presentations and watching videos. Meanwhile, the Tab 11 5G’s smaller display may be easier to manage during everyday use.

Both tablets offer a 90Hz refresh rate, which should make scrolling and compatible animations appear smoother than on standard 60Hz displays.

MediaTek processor, RAM and storage

Both tablets use the MediaTek MT8755 octa-core processor. The chipset includes two Arm Cortex-A76 cores clocked at up to 2.4GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores running at up to 2GHz.

Acer offers both models with 8GB of RAM. Buyers can choose between 128GB and 256GB of onboard storage, with expandable storage also supported.

This shared hardware means the two tablets have broadly similar processing specifications on paper. Their display sizes, camera configurations and battery capacities provide clearer points of difference.

Acer has not provided benchmark results in the supplied launch information. Real-world performance will therefore depend on software optimisation and how the tablets handle everyday apps and multitasking.

Keyboard and stylus support, cameras

Acer says both tablets support a keyboard flip cover and stylus. The keyboard accessory also provides docking support, giving users an additional way to work with the devices.

These accessories could help with typing, note-taking and document editing. However, the supplied information does not confirm whether the keyboard and stylus come bundled with either tablet or require separate purchases.

For video calls, both models feature an 8-megapixel front camera. Their rear camera setups differ.

The Iconia Tab 11 5G has a 13-megapixel rear camera. The Iconia Tab 12 5G features a 16-megapixel primary camera alongside a 2-megapixel macro camera.

Both tablets also include fingerprint recognition for biometric security.

Battery, connectivity and other features

The Acer Iconia Tab 12 5G packs a 10,000mAh battery. Acer has not provided the battery capacity of the Iconia Tab 11 5G in the supplied launch details, so a direct capacity comparison is not possible.

Both models support 5G, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.2 and USB Type-C connectivity. Their shared connectivity options allow users to access mobile networks, connect wireless accessories and charge the devices through USB Type-C.

The Iconia Tab 11 5G measures 261.74 × 177.68 × 7.95mm. Dimensions and weight for the Iconia Tab 12 5G were not specified in the supplied information.

Which Acer Iconia tablet should you consider?

The Acer Iconia Tab 11 5G starts at ₹23,990 and offers a 10.95-inch 90Hz display, 8GB RAM and expandable storage. It could suit buyers who want a relatively compact tablet for browsing, streaming and everyday tasks.

The Iconia Tab 12 5G costs ₹26,990 and offers a larger, sharper 12.2-inch display. Its 10,000mAh battery and additional rear macro camera also distinguish it from the smaller model.

Both tablets share the same processor, RAM options and core connectivity features. Therefore, the choice largely comes down to screen size, resolution and battery capacity.

The optional keyboard and stylus support adds flexibility, although buyers should confirm accessory pricing before deciding which model offers better value.
