hi I'm Sarah metropolis Cena and this is a first look at the Lenovo yoga tablets there are two models one with an 8 inch screen and one with a 10 inch display but the internal specs are identical the yoga is super thin and has a unique design with a thick rounded edge that props it up when you lie it flat it's remarkably comfortable to hold the tablet by that's fine and it feels sturdy and well built that rounded spine also houses an aluminum kickstand it's awkward to open you have to grab the top edge of the tablet grip the rounded edge and rotate the kickstand away once the kickstand is open you can adjust the viewing angle behind it is a micro SD card slot for extra storage on one end of the spine there's an oversized power button that's easy to press buttress s enough that you don't accidentally hit it above the power button there's a micro USB charging port on the other end there's a headphone jack above that there's a volume rocker on the front there are two dolby digital plus ds1 front-facing speakers which sound loud and natural there's a 5-megapixel back camera that takes so-so pictures and a 1.6 megapixel front facing camera for video chatting the most disappointing feature of the yoga is its screen both the 8 inch and 10 inch models have 1280 x 1080 resolution displays which is low compared to today's top tablets that resolution looks decent on the 8 inch model but the screen on the 10 incher looks dull and fuzzy the tablets make up for their poor screen resolution with impressive battery life there's a 6000 milli ampere hour battery for the eight incher and a 9000 milli ampere hour for the 10 incher which is on par with batteries you find in laptops that should give you nearly all day battery life and in my testing both tablets only went down by about five percent after being left alone for roughly 36 hours the yoga is running Android jelly bean 4tube it has a completely custom design from lenovo there's no app drawer so all your apps live on your home screens there's also a media shortcut menu called smart bar which gives you quick access to books movies music and apps it also includes different modes for the tablet depending on if you're holding it or using the kickstand which changed the video audio settings and alter the screen for best viewing experience inside there's a quad-core 1.2 gigahertz mediatek cpu that powers both tablets the performance doesn't blow me away but it's not bad either the yoga tablet 8 will cost you two hundred fifty dollars and the 10 inch model will cost you 300 both have 16 gigabytes of storage those prices are competitive but the mediocre screens definitely reduce the value of what you get for the cost once again I'm Sarah mitrik with Cena and this has been a first look at the Lenovo yoga tablets 8 and 10
