Lenovo reveals a bunch of Qualcomm and MediaTek powered slates
Lenovo has revealed no fewer than five tablets today. Let's dive right into the announcements.
It will be sold as the Yoga Pad Pro in China and has been designed for media consumption and productivity. The slate sports a 13-inch 2K display that Lenovo claims is more efficient and less reflective than other LCDs. It features 400 nits of brightness,100 percent sRGB color gamut, and Dolby Vision HDR.
The tablet offers quad JBL speakers and Dolby Atmos and there's also a bottom audio chamber for 450Hz bass performance for an impactful audio effect. The company says the device has the capability to stream for up to 12 hours. For video calls, it has an 8MP front camera.
Thanks to the slate's stainless steel kickstand, you will be able to position it the way you want. That includes hanging it from your door hook. The Yoga Tab 13 is also compatible with the Lenovo Precision Pen 2.2 (pictured in the header), but you will have to buy it separately.
The device comes in the color Shadow Black and is covered in luxurious Alcantara material. The price starts at $679.99 and if there are no hiccups, it should hit the shelves next month.
Next, we have the Tab P11 Plus, which is powered by the same MediaTek chip. The chip is paired with 6GB of RAM and the device is equipped with an 11-inch display with a resolution of 2000 x 1200. It boasts quad-speaker stereo sound with Dolby Atmos.
