Not even six month after the launch of the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10, Lenovo has renewed the device, responding to two significant objections users had: low screen resolution and poor performance.
The new version, the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 HD+, comes with a 10.1-inch, IPS screen at a resolution of 1920 x 1200, compared to the 1280 x 800 resolution of the previous model. It also has Qualcomm’s 1.6 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor (MSM8228 for 3G, i.e. APQ8028 for the Wi-Fi model), instead of a 1.2GHz quad-core Mediatek MT8125 chip.
However, the differences between the current Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ and its predecessor do not stop here. The new model comes with 2GB of RAM instead of 1GB, has an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera instead of a 5-megapixel one, and it runs Android OS 4.3 instead of 4.2 — which is still Jelly Bean, but this version can be upgraded to version 4.4 (KitKat).
The kickstand that was a signature feature of the original has also been slightly altered to improve it.
All these changes didn’t come without a cost: the price has gone from $300 to $350.
