Shattering Tablet Expectations & Introducing Company’s First Phablet 

Since tablets are primarily consumption devices, Lenovo created the YOGA Tablet series for enhanced video watching and to give consumers a meaningful reason to upgrade from their old tablets. The YOGA Tablet series did not stand still – it laid claim to several “firsts,” with its multimode design and built-in projector. The YOGA TAB 3 Pro does it again – this time as the first 10-inch tablet with an onboard 70’ projector that rotates 180°. The YOGA TAB 3 Pro delivers an experience like no other tablet – one that’s different by design. It is the first-ever tablet equipped with Dolby Atmos, a powerful JBL sound bar to reproduce high-octane sound, 18 hours of battery life and a 10.1-inch QHD screen. Fused from real metal, aluminum and leather, the YOGA TAB 3 Pro exudes premium craftsmanship. Accompanying the YOGA TAB 3 Pro are the 8- and 10-inch YOGA TAB 3, featuring a 180° rotatable camera, up to 20 hours of battery life, LTE support and easy photo capture with hand gestures. 

Today, many consumers aren’t using their phone to make calls like they used to – instead, they’re browsing the Internet, checking social networks, listening to music and playing games. This trend blurs the distinction between phones and tablets and gives rise to Lenovo’s response to Phablets with the Lenovo PHAB Plus. PHAB Plus combines the best of both smartphones and tablets into one device, offering a solution between expensive smartphones and underwhelming small tablets. The 6.8-inch phablet fits the “sweet spot” with its best-in-class entertainment including a FHD screen and Dolby Atmos sound along with the all-day battery life, dual SIM and 4G LTE connectivity of a smartphone. Optimized for single-hand use, PHAB Plus users can choose among five simple ways with shortcuts to perform typical tasks more easily.
