New Ingredients for a Better Multimode Tablet Experience

New leading features of the Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ start with the tablet’s 10.1-inch 20/20 Vision display that makes graphics seemingly pop off the screen framed in an attractive silver body.

For capturing mobile memories in even sharper pictures, the Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ comes equipped with a new high definition 8MP rear camera, ideal for snapping photos of friends, family and life’s precious moments.

A Flavor for Every Taste

The new A Series range starts with the TAB A7, an affordable on-the-go reading companion with a 7-inch, wide-view HD display for sharper text and web pages, while the larger screen TAB A8 is the mobile “home entertainment” center that produces bright HD images, with front-facing, Dolby® Audio speakers that bring music, videos and games to life.

Do More with DOit Apps

Lenovo’s three DOit apps make sharing, synching and protecting data on the Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ simple.

With SHAREit, users can instantly share pictures, videos, music files, documents, contacts and even apps with up to five devices without an Internet connection.

It wirelessly transfers information or even the app itself between devices at up to 40x faster than Bluetooth®. SECUREit optimizes and protects users’ mobile data with its menu of data-protection tools.

With a single touch, it protects against viruses, spam and malware, and if the tablet becomes lost or stolen, anti-theft protection locks it down.

SECUREit acts as a privacy guard to protect against unwarranted access to users’ private information and also makes the tablet operate faster by taking actions such as closing redundant background apps.

SYNCit serves as a personal backup assist by backing up contacts, text messages and call logs in the cloud.

Users can reload the content to their tablet or another Android device.

SNAPit Camera gives users unprecedented flexibility for shooting in specific modes (such as panorama or burst mode) for wide-angle shots, low-light situations and more.

It also offers special filters and effects. Users can then edit photos right inside the app: They can remove unwanted objects and even create fun, animated GIF files.
