Two weeks ago, we have carefully looked at the new 8-inch Lenovo Yoga tablet 8 , a tablet that is both big pluses as big negatives had. However, Lenovo also brings a larger version to the Netherlands. In this review we look at the 10.1-inch Lenovo Yoga tablet 10 . This model has almost the same specifications and the same design, but is equipped with a slightly larger screen.
Tablet Lenovo Yoga 10 – Specifications
As mentioned there in terms of specifications apart from the size of the display is hardly any difference between the Lenovo Yoga Yoga Tablet Tablet 8 and 10 to discover. Both tablets feature an IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1,280 by 800 pixels, a MediaTek MT8125 quad-core processor with a clock speed of 1.2GHz, 1GB of RAM and a storage memory of 16GB which can be via a microSD card. Expanded
the 10.1-inch model features a 5 megapixel camera for photos and videos, a webcam on the front, Bluetooth 4.0, a microUSB port with the ability to charge a smartphone, a headphone jack and stereo speakers Dolby Audio playback. The battery of the 10.1-inch version with 9.000mAh be a lot bigger, which makes sense given the larger display. In addition, the 10.1-inch model can moreover be equipped with a Bluetooth keyboard, which unfortunately we have not tested it. An overview of all specifications and features can be found on the product page of the Lenovo Yoga tablet 10 .
Tablet Lenovo Yoga 10 – Video
Normally we make every tablet an extensive video review for this model, but I refer you to our video of the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 . The tablets come in so many similarities, even in terms of performance and use, that you can get. The most from this video The intention was actually to address two tablets in a review, but unfortunately that did not work as you can see.
Tablet Lenovo Yoga 10 – Hardware and design
The design is one of the unique features of the Lenovo Yoga tablet 10. Like its smaller brother, the tablet has a strange shape with a ‘thick’ cylinder on one of the long sides. This cylinder has several functions. So here are the key components, including the main battery and the standard fold-in process. This again has the advantage that the center of gravity is located closer to the palm of the hand when held in the hand of the tablet.
Whether you like it’s a matter of taste, but the design of the Yoga Tablet 10 is well thought out and user offers various opportunities and advantages. First, holding in a hand of the tablet (in portrait mode, hold mode called Lenovo) comfortable because the center of gravity closer to your palm., As mentioned earlier, The cylinder that is in your hand is like holding a ‘folded’ magazine and you can comfortably long with the tablet work in hand. It should be mentioned here that the Yoga Tablet 10 a 10.1-inch model and is a lot heavier than its smaller brother. This is to hold in landscape mode yet more comfortable, because the center of gravity is closer to your palm again and tilted slightly sloping sides of the cylinder fit comfortably in your hand.
design offers benefits not only to hold the tablet, such as whether the bank or while walking through the house. In the back of the tablet, partly in the cylinder, is because a flip-out stand included. This is from the blows by turning. To the curvature Unfolding is slightly stiffer than the smaller 8-inch model, which in itself is not illogical. The default is because, when folded, is necessary to maintain. Larger display up more resistance Yet is unfolding the standard fairly simple, although you are not need to get.

The standard offers two positions in which the tablet can be. put (in landscape mode) Firstly, the tablet can be put almost upright, which is ideal for watching a movie or make a video call. In this position, the operation of the screen is less ideal because you are too hard to press tablet press back or fall to late. A simple tap or swipe motion, however, is easy to do, without having to adjust. Standard This position (Standby mode) is really meant for consuming media.
Be the tablet also virtually flat on the table or a desk, in the so-called Tilt mode. You can expand this standard allowing the tablet in a corner which is ideal for typing texts, or surfing the web or watching a video soon. Do you want a little less steep angle than you can collapse the default, only the cylinder then creates a slight angle. I myself especially these positions often, while I was at work at a desk and looking down on the tablet.
As mentioned, the main difference between Yoga and Yoga Tablet 10 Tablet 8 the size of the screen. This also implies that the dimensions are larger, 261 x 180 x (3.0 to 8.1) mm, and that the tablet is 605 grams heavier. It should be appreciated that the 8-inch version of the most appropriate variant is for those who seek it to a mobile device and often the tablet in a hand may wish to use. The 10.1-inch version is especially ideal for those seeking the Stand and Tilt mode is often used, and the larger display provides a better experience for playing games or watching movies. Incidentally, the build quality of the tablet 10 Yoga, like its smaller brother, fine. Lenovo has chosen materials of good quality, and the whole is nicely finished.
Display
Both tablets feature an IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1,280 by 800 pixels, and since we were not particularly positive about the display of the 8-inch version, you would say that the display of the 10.1-inch version is even less . You do have the same resolution on a larger screen area and thus less pixels per inch. While this is true, and you can see this, look closely at the display did not mention. Really worse Both screens suffer from the sometimes blurred view of texts or images, and leave much to be desired in terms of blacks and grays on, but the color is reasonable, with natural colors and a dynamic picture. Although 1,280 by 800 pixels for a 10.1-inch tablet now anyway ‘outdated’ can be called is perfectly usable for the average consumer, provided you have no expectations.
is little to complain about. Also, the viewing angles of the display The tablet gives from most angles a fine picture again. The brightness is not particularly high, but for indoor use them you will be unaffected. However much you go out and you have to deal with sunlight then it quickly becomes more difficult to work comfortably. All in all, so again a little special display that however works fine in normal use.
Connectivity
Lenovo Yoga tablet 10 has almost everything that you would expect. an Android tablet There is a microUSB port that the tablet can be charged and can be used with a PC, and this port can be used for example, to charge a smartphone. Linked There is also a microSD card reader processes behind the fold-out stand, and although it is not optimal to reach the awkward angle, this one allows you to expand the memory. 16GB of Wireless communication takes place via WiFi or Bluetooth, and in addition there is a GPS location finder.
Cameras
Yoga Tablet 10 features a 1.6 megapixel camera on the front and a 5 megapixel camera on the back. The quality of these cameras is purely looking to offer what other tablets, on average. The camera on the front, in order to perform and the camera at the back lets you create videos that stabbing attack. Decent video call some light So you sometimes have to deal with frame drops and quick movements spotty appears. For a simple picture, it is more than adequate and you get dynamic colors and plenty of detail.
the 10.1-inch model is that it is remarkable that the camera is placed at the front. Lenovo has included chosen to place the side you’ve just above the screen when you hold the tablet in portrait mode. These cameras on the short side Making video calls is much more comfortable in the Standby mode, but the camera is left of the display. This ensures that you do not seem to look in the camera. The rear camera is incorporated in the cylinder and which uses the standard positions so is not really usable. You have to turn around and pick up the tablet first before you can get started with this.
Audio Quality
It is perhaps monotonous, but also in terms of audio quality are both Yoga Tablets match. Both models feature stereo speakers that are far enough apart to create a stereo effect provide sufficient volume to fill a small room, and point to the user what the audio quality is
