Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab Review

Lenovo is launching two brand new tablets: the Yoga Smart Tab and Smart Tab M8. The Smart Tab M8 looks like a traditional tablet, but the Yoga Smart Tab comes with an intriguing feature. The Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab comes with the Google Assistant builds on the revolutionary Yoga Tab’s multimode kickstand design. It packs thin and elegant, sleek design like its predecessor.

Design

The Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab comes featuring a striking body design. This 10-inch tablet has a round grip build into its body. Although the tablet might  look similar to Yoga Tab 3, it is quite spectacular with the ability to be hung on a wall, which intrigues me to say the least.

This sturdy metal body device flaunts Lenovo’s signature pop-out kickstand, which allows the tablet to stand upright by itself or at an angle for typing. The back of the tablet sports a lovely matte gray finish, while the hinge sports a cylinder shape so you can stand it up. It also spots curvy edges which allows for a comfortable grip.

The kickstand also house the two separate stereo speakers that sit on the left and right sides. The powerful speaker array rocks a dual JBL hi-fi speakers with Dolby Atmos support. This speaker delivers more compelling audio than most tablets.

At 1.28 pounds and 9.5 x 6.5 x 0.3~0.9 inches, the Yoga Smart Tab is obviously a lot bigger than the Smart Tab M8, which comes in at 0.67 pounds and 7.8 x 4.8 x 0.3 inches.

As far as ports go, the Yoga Smart Tab has one USB Type-C port, a microSD card slot, a headphone jack and a SIM card slot, while the Smart Tab M8 has a microUSB port, a headphone jack and a SIM card slot.
