Lenovo unveils 18-hour Yoga

Lenovo has announced the Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ in South Africa. The Android device offers up to 18 hours of battery life and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.

“Customers from all age groups have told us they love the Yoga tablet design with the different modes, and the 18 hours battery life,” said Graham Braum, Lenovo Africa General Manager. “Now we’ve created the new YOGA Tablet 10 HD+ to give consumers the a multimode tablet experience, packing it with premium technologies from a great screen to faster processor to user-centric software.

New features advance model for multimode tablet

While the Yoga tablet 10 broke the mould on the tablet design, the Yoga tablet 10 HD+ refines this model for multimode tablets with new features. First, consumers will notice how bright and vibrant the tablet’s 10.1″ display is. With Full HD 1920×1200 resolution, movies and photos look crystal clear and more like real life. Thanks to the new Smart Display, the tablet automatically adjusts the images and text on the screen to the ambient light, making it gentler on users’ eyes in all its modes.

Built for accessing multimedia on the go, apps and files load quickly thanks to its new Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor with quad core CPU and large storage. Running Android 4.3, the tablet features rich Dolby audio, 10 point multitouch, a micro USB port supporting on-the-go technology and an optional keyboard. For capturing mobile memories in even sharper pictures, the Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ comes equipped with a new high definition 8MP rear camera.

Three modes in one tablet

The Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ retains the key design and technologies users liked about the original Yoga, starting with its 18 hours of battery life. The tablet’s signature three modes – Hold, Tilt and Stand – continue to give users a better way to use the tablet in nearly any situation. The tablet’s unique cylindrical battery allows them to hold it for reading or browsing the Internet, or they can place it in Tilt Mode for a better viewing angle on a desk. They can also deploy the kickstand that extends from the tablet’s battery cylinder to position it in Stand Mode.

Do more with DOit apps

Lenovo’s three DOit apps make sharing, synching and protecting data on the Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ simple. With SHAREit, users can instantly share pictures, videos, music files, documents, contacts and even apps with up to five devices without an Internet connection. It wirelessly transfers information or even the app itself between devices at speeds faster than Bluetooth. SECUREit optimizes and protects users’ mobile data with its menu of data-protection tools. With a single touch, it protects against viruses, spam and malware, and if the tablet is lost or stolen, anti-theft protection locks it down.

SYNCit serves as a personal backup assist by backing up contacts, text messages and call logs in the cloud. Users can reload the content to their tablet or another Android device. SNAPit Camera gives users unprecedented flexibility for shooting in specific modes (such as panorama or burst mode) for wide-angle shots, low-light situations and more. It also offers special filters and effects. Users can then edit photos from the app.

The Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ is available now for R4 599.
