Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus Release Date, Price and Specs – CNET

Lenovo’s Yoga 3 Plus for 2016 comes in at a much lower price than last year’s model. There’s a good reason why.

Lenovo’s 10.1-inch Yoga Tab 3 Plus is all about entertainment. Just like its predecessor, this year’s model is designed to enhance the TV and video-viewing experience. But unlike the Yoga Tab 3 Pro, announced at last year’s IFA, the Tab 3 Plus doesn’t have the projector that Lenovo promised would be great for watching movies and TV at home.

That’s not necessarily good. The unique projector feature made the Tab 3 Pro one of the best tablets for watching video, especially with friends. But at a starting price of $500 and AU$699 (UK pricing converted to £335), that took it out of the budget running. This projector-less model starts at $300, which converts to £230 and AU$400.

But at least Lenovo keeps the built-in kickstand, which was incredibly useful for standing up the tablet. You can even let it hang from a hook in your kitchen or bedroom.

• 10.1-inch 2K display (2,560×1,600 pixels)
• 4 front-facing JBL speakers
• 13-megapixel camera, 5-megapixel front-facing
• 1.8GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor
• 9,300mAh battery with a rated 18 hours of life
• 32GB storage, 3GB RAM
• Splash-proof body (IP52)
• 4 configurations: Hang, tilt, stand, no stand

The tablet goes on sale October 2016.
