It’s powerful enough to handle complex 3D games too. The result is a tablet that can blitz through everyday tasks such as browsing the web, composing emails and watching movies. This leaves the Tab S (13,500) in the dust, though the 2 Pro (16,674) and Air 2 (21,797) again come out on top. It’s a similar story in the graphics department, with the Yoga hitting an impressive 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited count of 15,739. The Yoga Tablet 2 Pro (2,517) and Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (2,669) are slightly speedier, but the iPad Air 2 (4,509) stands well ahead of the pack. This combination helps the Yoga score 2,383 in the Geekbench 3 multi-core speed test, placing it just behind some of the most expensive tablets available. It runs on a quad-core Intel Atom Z3745 processor clocked at 1.86GHz, along with 2GB of RAM.
The Yoga is powerful, but not quite a match for some of the other top tablets on the market. They provide comprehensive levels of support, and are great for first-time tablet owners. We imagine Evernote and Skype could work brilliantly in this manner, but they’re sadly not available as options.Įlsewhere, there’s assistance in the form of the User Guide app and Yoga Tablet 2 app, which help you get to grips with Android and the tablet itself, respectively. You can only open Chrome, the native email app, gallery, file browser, video player and calculator in this view. This is because only a very limited number of apps are actually multi-window compatible. You can resize these and move them around at your will, but the function isn’t as useful as we hoped it would be. The other is the multi-window menu, which lets you use up to three different applications on one screen, just as you would on a PC. One of these is a list of widgets you can choose to add to one of your home screens, offering up different styles of batteries and calendars, as well as graphics from third-party apps, such as Twitter and Evernote. What makes it more puzzling is that an additional two menus launch from this part of the display. It’s a pointless tweak that only succeeds in slowing you down. The Yoga unfortunately only delivers the former, forcing you to swipe up from the bottom of the screen to tinker with settings. When you swipe down from the notifications bar on an Android device, you’re usually presented with your app notifications and a small list of quick settings including Wi-Fi, brightness and the screenshot key. Something we definitely don’t like is the fact that quick settings are split between two separate menus. It’s a good setup if you’re organised, since you can instantly access your go-to apps, though it takes some getting used to if you’re more familiar with vanilla Android. The most glaring change is that Lenovo has done away with the app drawer, with all programs instead appearing on your various home screens, much like Huawei’s Emotion UI. In comparison to Samsung’s TouchWiz, it’s quite a subtle skin, but it still has a big effect on the user experience. It’s not a pure version of Android, and is overlaid with Lenovo’s own user interface.
Performance, Battery Life & Verdict ReviewĪndroid 5.0 Lollipop isn’t exactly brand-spanking-new anymore, but the Yoga Tablet 2 runs an even older version of the software – Android 4.4 KitKat.
