Lenovo’s 10.1-inch Yoga Tablet (second-generation) received a boost in specs and features where it counts, but the second-generation Yoga Tablet 2 also throws in an 8.0-inch model, which comes with much of the same specs as the 10.1-inch model. Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 8.0 runs on a 1.33GHz quad-core processor with 2GB of RAM.
Much of the same
Lenovo realizes that some consumers prefer an 8-inch tablet as the sweet size factor (not everyone wants to lug around a 10-inch display), so the company made its 8-inch Yoga Tablet 2 8.0 easy to remember: it has most of the same specs and features as the 10.1-inch Yoga Tablet 2: same Full HD resolution (1920 x 1200p) and LCD screen, memory storage (16GB) and the 64GB memory microSD card slot, same 1.33Ghz, quad-core Intel Atom processor and 2GB of DDR3 random access memory (RAM), cameras (1.6MP front and 8MP back), and same Android 4.4.2 (KitKat).
Not all the same
The two devices are not entirely the same: first, the Lenovo Yoga Tablet is understandably lighter, shedding about 200 g, which will definitely make handling very easy. The battery is smaller at 6400 mAh, but still manages to deliver the same 18 hours maximum use time.
Finally, Lenovo decided to add some additional software to its offerings in the second-generation Yoga tablets. Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 8.0 users, like Yoga Tablet 2 10.1 users, will find the addition of Amazon, Evernote, Smart Switch, and UC browser in its software as opposed to the basic Kingsoft Office, Norton Mobile Security, Skype, Lenovo Launcher, ES File Launcher, Accuweather, and Route 66 Navigation and Maps software Lenovo offered with the first-generation Yoga tablets.
