#10.1 INCH TABLET UPDATE#

An update that might have involved changes but leaves 4.4.2 untouched was made available in the test period.

#10.1 INCH TABLET ANDROID#

Only the medium-sized bezel is made in black.ДЄ version of Android 4.4.2 KitKat that Lenovo has modified is preloaded in state of delivery. Overall, the design convinced us with a clear line management, plain elegance, and high-quality looking, matte-silver shimmering surfaces. The resulting loose fit and the occasional produced cracking noises make a somewhat unstable impression, which is likely due to an imperfect bonding. Unfortunately, the back is not always flush with the innards everywhere. The casing can be twisted easily without much effort, but it does not produce any noises. We did not discover any manufacturing flaws, such as irregular gaps. By the way, the on/off button is also found on one of its sides. Lenovo has optimally resolved the handling with the securely locking stand the cylinder only has to be turned. The stand is opened to almost 180 degrees, and the existing notch is used for that. We at least find the idea of hanging the tablet on, for example, a nail witty ( Hang Mode). The angle is even smaller when the stand is folded back ( Tilt Mode), and inputting via the virtual keyboard is supported ideally. The Yoga can then either be set up so that the screen is almost perpendicular and makes it suitable for utilization as a picture frame or for watching movies. The stand locks at approximately 90 degrees when it is opened ( Stand Mode). This state results in the Hold ModeВ and the device can then be held at the bulge. A recess is found in the back that closes quite flush with the folded stand so that the surface is even for holding. The stand itself is obviously made of aluminum, but the other casing parts are mostly plastic. The stickers point in direction of the conspicuous cylinder with the stand hinge, which Lenovo states is to provide more room for the battery and more volume for the exterior, front-facing speakers underneath it. The pricesВ of our Yoga and LG's G Pad range at about a low 300 Euros (~$371), while prices of 500 Euros (~$619) or more were demanded for the others at their time of release. For comparison, the 9.7-inch iPad Air (2013)В weighs 464 grams. TheВ followingВ order emerges in terms of weight: Lenovo: 619 grams Asus: 584 grams LG: 512 grams Samsung: 469 grams Sony: 425 grams. However, it only has a resolution ofВ 1280x800 pixels and a rather weak combination of a Snapdragon 400 APQ8026В and Adreno 305 GPU. The LG G Pad 10.1 V700В also participates in this race. Asus provides the Transformer Pad TF701TВ that, like the Galaxy Tab, has a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels but is powered by an Nvidia Tegra 4. The especially slim Sony Xperia Z2 tabletВ has the same resolution as the Yoga Tablet 2 andВ isВ shipped with the Snapdragon 801 APQ8074ABВ including Adreno 330В graphics.

The first device is the higher-resolution Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1В that sports a Samsung Exynos 5420 OctaВ and ARM Mali-T628 MP6В GPU. The review sample naturally has to live up to these assertions.ДЄn identical format and recent test in our lab was our primary criteria for selecting the comparison devices. Lenovo places special focus on the sound system by Wolfson Master HiFi and Dolby surround sound, a long battery life, and the primary camera's quality in its presentation. Our review sample was shipped with Android 4.4.2 KitKat, which Lenovo has modified. Our silver Wi-Fi only model is based on Intel's Atom Z3745В quad-core with integrated Bay Trail Graphics, features 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of flash storage, and an IPS screen with 1920x1200 pixels. An overview of the 8 and 10-inch devices with this feature can be found on the corresponding Lenovo website. The manufacturer dubs the four modes for operating the device Stand, Tilt, Hold, and Hang, and it summarizes the construction with the term Multi-Mode Design. Tablets with a built-in stand for erecting or hanging up the device have been a unique feature of Lenovo's Yoga tablet line to-date. For the original German review, see here.
