Last but definitely not the least on Lenovo’s announcement
at IFA this week are the company’s new Yoga 3 tablets. These devices were
designed primarily for multi-media consumption, hence the large screens and
built-in projectors.
First one up, we have the high-end Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Pro 10
with its 10.1-inch display featuring a 2560 x 1600-pixel resolution, 299ppi and
16:10 aspect ratio. The device also sports a built-in 70-inch projector that
can transform any wall or ceiling into a screen.
The tablet is powered by an Intel Atom Z8500 chip with a
2.2GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable storage. It is
also packing a 10200mAh battery that can last up to 49 days on standby, four
front-facing JBL speakers with Dolby and a 13MP+5MP camera combo.
Those looking for more affordable models can go for the Yoga
Tab 10 or Tab 8.
With the exception of the screen size, both models pack
identical specs. These include a Snapdragon 210 chipset with a 1.3GHz quad-core
processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of expandable storage and a 6200mAh battery.
Both models have a screen resolution of 1280 x 800, a
rotating 8MP camera as well as the usual plethora of connectivity features
found in tablets in the market today. Moreover, both models will run on Android
5.1 Lollipop and will feature LTE and 3G connectivity.
The Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 8.0 will hit the store shelves come next
month for $169, while the Yoga Tab 3 10 and Yoga Tab 3 Pro will be available by
November for $199 and $499 respectively.
