The tablets are available starting May 7 across Acer-exclusive stores, the Acer online store, Amazon, and Flipkart. In this story, we’ll take a closer look at the Acer Iconia iM11-22M5G, its price, specifications, and key features.

Acer Iconia iM11-22M5G
Price: Starting at Rs 25,499
The Iconia iM11-22M5G is for users who want a large-screen Android tablet that can handle both work and entertainment at a mid-range price point. The 11.45-inch 2.2K IPS display at 1440×2200 resolution and 450 nits of brightness should deliver sharp, vivid visuals for streaming, reading, and creative tasks, even in brighter environments. The touch panel is designed for precise stylus input, so notetaking and sketching should feel more natural and accurate compared to standard capacitive panels.
Performance comes from the MediaTek MT8791 processor paired with 8GB RAM, which should handle everyday multitasking, video calls, and content consumption smoothly. The chip includes a dedicated APU rated at 2.6 TOPS for on-device AI tasks, which could help with features like smart autocorrect, scene recognition in the camera, and faster app responses over time. The 128GB internal storage is expandable up to 1TB via microSD, so running out of space for photos, videos, or downloaded content should not be a concern for most users.
The 5G support, combined with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, means the tablet will stay connected reliably whether you are on a mobile network or a home router. You also get a power button fingerprint sensor, which isn’t very common in tablets at this price and is a good feature to improve ease of use.
For content creators and remote workers, there’s also an optional active stylus with 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity. On paper, it claims to deliver a writing and drawing experience closer to pen on paper. The keyboard cover comes with POGO pin attachments and transforms the tablet into a compact workstation, which makes it a practical laptop alternative for light productivity tasks like document editing, emails, and presentations.
Finally, there’s a 7400mAh battery with PD fast charging up to 18W charging support, which should keep the tablet running through a full day with minimal downtime.
The competition
At Rs 25,499, the Acer Iconia iM11 5G competes most directly with the Redmi Pad 2 Pro and the OnePlus Pad Go 2, both of which sit in a very similar price range. The Redmi Pad 2 Pro starts at Rs 24,999 for the Wi-Fi variant and Rs 27,999 for 5G, and it comes with a larger 12.1-inch 2.5K 120Hz display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip, and a massive 12,000mAh battery, making it a good pick for users who put screen size and battery stamina above all else.
The OnePlus Pad Go 2 starts at Rs 26,999 and also goes with a bigger 12.1-inch display, leaning into a more premium look and feel for buyers who want a more immersive media experience.
The Iconia takes a different approach. It trades the larger screen for a more compact 11.45-inch 2.2K panel but pairs it with 5G, Wi-Fi 6, stylus support, and an optional keyboard cover, which should make it more appealing to students and professionals who want a tablet that doubles as a productivity device. If connectivity and versatility matter more than screen size, the Iconia should be a worthy consideration in this price range.
If you are buying a tablet for the first time or upgrading from an older Android tablet without 5G or stylus support, the Iconia iM11 5G offers a good step up at a reasonable price. However, if you are already using a relatively recent mid-range tablet with a large display and are happy with it, the upgrade may not significant enough to justify the switch right away.
