Design Yoga

The Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 is easily recognizable by a new design (a common feature of the Yoga family). These devices contortionists have surprised the market with its proposals, far removed from the traditional equipment. And this tablet is no exception. Everything revolves around its cylindrical end when the battery is housed. This projection not only prolongs the autonomy to impressive figures. It is also the center of the proposed Lenovo.

On the one hand, serves as the basis beside a folding tab that allows us to place the tablet in portrait. An interesting position for watching videos or movies . Also, once you put the tablet on this surface the screen is slightly inclined, more comfortable a position to navigate the computer. Finally, the company also wanted to highlight a usage mode which is somewhat surprising. And we can rotate the model and use the tab to hang a cabinet or table. True, it is not (a priori) the most useful way of the world, but becomes a proof of the versatility of this design.

Otherwise, this is a very elegant model that has an aura of “premium” team that looks more like a model 450 or 500 euros. The Chinese company has achieved a durable design in silver aluminum touch screen on the back. But beyond its appearance, what has surprised us most is the balance that this tablets to take it in your hands when you consider the presence of the cylindrical battery. A success of the Chinese company. The thickness of this model is 7.7 mm in its thinnest area and about 3 centimeters in the thickest part. And weighs approximately 600 grams which favors its grip and handling .

Display and Multimedia

As for the panel, it is a 10.1-inch IPS panel with full HD resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. This figure allows us to enjoy an excellent level of detail for games or movies in high quality. Both the response and the brightness level they have seemed to live up to what is expected in a top team, as well as the treatment of color. Undoubtedly, this is a very oriented multimedia use, with good graphics performance equipment. Another detail that must be emphasized is the placement of the speakers in the front, right side of the tablet. This placement allows creating a surround sound effect and quite remarkable power. Yes, it seemed to us that the audio quality a small step below the screen goes.

Despite being a tablet format with a larger screen, Lenovo wanted to keep a decent set of cameras for times when you do not have the smartphone handy (especially the rear camera). Indeed, this camera has a resolution of 8 megapixels and autofocus. Without being no wonder, it seems a good target to get by at certain times. Yes, at first it’s easy to put your finger in front of the sensor that is placed in one of the lower ends of the team. Moreover, the front camera of 1.6 megapixels provides sufficient performance even in low light. A very useful to carry out selfies or videoconferencing tool .

Memory and Power

The Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 bet on an Intel Atom processor quad-core with a power of 1.86 GHz, coupled with a RAM of 2 GB. This set serves to smoothly run the vast majority of applications and games from Android, and allows many processes have open without affecting the performance. In the field of internal memory, 16 GB commitment . In this space we must subtract the capacity used by the operating system and preinstalled apps, leaving us with just over 10 GB to store our data. This capacity can be expanded through a Micro SD card. The location of the groove is quite curious since it is located behind the tab tablet, hidden in plain sight. In this place the SIM card slot is also found (although our model only has WiFi connection).

Lenovo applications and interface

The Yoga Tablet 2 uses the operating system Android 4.4.2 KitKat. Of course the Asian company has included its own layer of software, so much the appearance of icons and some menus remind us to colorful and beautiful to Android 5.0 Lollipop appearance. A new feature that has included Lenovo is a touch button on the bottom left of the screen that opens a panel icons with shortcuts to our favorite apps. Among the applications themselves signature CLONEit we would stress, a tool used to transfer data from an old device to the new. We also have an app designed for us to discover all the design possibilities of Yoga. The last point I want to bring here is that when we sail or unload files can see the connection speed in the upper right part of the notifications, next to the battery or the status of the WiFi. A practical way to control data consumption or connection quality .

Connections and autonomy

In the field of connections, this tablet uses WiFi to connect to the network but there is also an advanced configuration support 4G high-speed networks. We also have Bluetooth to sync compatible equipment (such as a wireless speaker), a slot for Micro SD card and GPS to assist in navigation. But above all, the great attraction of Yoga Tablet 2 is its impressive range that reaches up to 18 hours. In our normal use of the tablet we could move smoothly twelve hours, a very high figure for ease of use in travel and travel. Of course, keep patience when loading the tablet, as it can be without problems several hours to recover all the energy.
