DavidDec 15, 2014REVIEWS, TABLETS 1

Lenovo – is one of those companies that are not afraid to experiment with their products and their form factors and others. One such product – the hero of this review, the tablet Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 HD+

Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ is in the middle price segment. At the time of writing, the average price is 450 USD. This is not a budget solution, as Lenovo A7600, but to Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 does not hold.

The company is positioning this tablet as a portable multimedia center with a long running time, a powerful processor, high-quality screen and surrounds stereo sound. Try to understand whether this is really the case?

Packaging equipment – Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 HD+

Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ comes in a sturdy box black. Interestingly, the manufacturer has paid attention to how all located inside – except for the tablet in the box are two neatly arranged boxes, one of which is the documentation, and the second – charger with an output current of 2 A.

Design and Ergonomics – Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 HD+

The appearance of the tablet is not quite a classic. At Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ in the lower part has a cylindrical bulge, which is capacious battery. Due to this, most of the thin plate (8 mm).

On the back is a slot for a microSD card and if you have the 3G version of the tablet, SIM-card. There is also a folding stand that allows you to set the tablet in landscape orientation. And due to the fact that the center of mass of the cylindrical thickening is at the bottom, the tablet is very confident standing on a flat surface.

If you cannot put the pad, it can be kept as a book. The diameter of the bottom of the tablet is about 2 cm, making it comfortable to hold. You can also put a flat plate, with an emphasis on the leg. In this mode, convenient typing.

Stand and the cylindrical portion of the tablet metal, everything else is made of matte plastic. The right decision in the right places using a sturdy material, in all other easier and more practical.

On the right side are the volume control buttons, a 3.5 mm headphone and microphone.

On the left – microUSB connector and a power button with indicator notifications

On the front of the sides of the tablet are two stereo speakers.

The front camera is located on the left side of the device. Basic is behind on the bottom of the unit, and I did not like this arrangement: When using the tablet in landscape mode and that’s enough for the bottom side of the apparatus fingers close the camera itself. So to take a picture, it is necessary to intercept the plate for the other part, is not convenient.

Build quality is excellent, no squeaks and backlash. In order to open the leg must make a small force. That is correct, without it she would probably rattled in a closed and tightly held in the open position. With enhanced touch the screen the picture is not “floating”.

The tablet is available in silver and champagne color. I have to review version champagne color, it looks very cool.

Display and Image Quality – Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 HD+

Maximum brightness is sufficient for use under the sun, the minimum – to work in a dark room. Automatic brightness control works correctly, but the delay before changing the brightness could be lower.

What is natural for IPS-matrix screen has wide viewing angles. At large angles, the picture is slightly out in the cold tone.

Screen quickly collects fingerprints, but they also erased very easily.

Camera – Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 HD+

In the tablet is set 8 megapixel camera with autofocus. Image quality will not hit its artistic significance, but it will be enough for everyday photos (of course, if you do every day photos 10-inch tablet).

In the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ set popular among manufacturers and Snapdragon 400 graphics accelerator Adreno 305. The RAM is 2GB. In the tablet have 16GB of memory and possibly a constant expansion of its volume with cards microSD.

View the video (with memory and YouTube), photo viewing, and other multimedia features and surfing the web tablet performs smoothly, without stuttering.

Heavy games like Asphalt 8 and Dead Trigger 2, operate with considerable lags, the number of frames per second is clearly not exceed twenty. Still, such a process with screen resolution is not the most recent iron plate hard. However, casual toys go without problems.
