Lenovo introduced the Phab Plus and Yoga Tab 3 Pro in Moscow

On December 9, Lenovo began selling a new tablet with a Yoga Tab 3 Pro projector and a 6.8-inch Phab Plus phablet in the company's recently opened Russian online store. Read more about the innovations presented this year at IFA 2015 , and now appearing in Russia - under the cut.

Lenovo YOGA Tab 3 Pro Tablet

December 9, 2015 Lenovo began selling Yoga Tab 3 Pro - a tablet with a diagonal of 10.1 inches and a resolution of 2560x1600, four JBL speakers with support for the last word in Dolby music - Atmos technology, and a projector designed for images up to 70 inches in diameter. Moisture protection - according to the IP21 standard. You can use Wolfson Master Hi-Fi technology to set up your speakers.

The Smart Window 2.0 utility allows you to work simultaneously with three applications on one screen. The manufacturer promises the operation of the device without recharging up to 18 hours. There is LTE support in the device, as well as last year's model with a projector - Tablet 2 Pro.

The older model of 2014 Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 ProThey did so with the expectation that 80% of tablet owners use them at home, and 52% watch streaming television and video. Therefore, the size of its screen (for the older model with a projector) is 13.3 inches, the weight is about a kilogram, and the cameras are 8 MP and the front one is 1.3 MP. The new gadget is designed to be used as a mobile device - the weight was reduced from 950 to 665 grams in the 10-inch model, the display size - 10 or 8 inches. The amount of internal memory remained the same - 32 gigabytes, but there was support for memory cards up to 128 gigabytes against 64 GB in last year's version. The cameras have improved: the main one is now 13 megapixels with autofocus, the front - 5 megapixels with fixed focus.

Improvements affected the projector, but not only the diagonal of the image - the new gadget allows you to deploy the film at 70 inches against last year's 50 - and also the location. I have a Lenovo Yoga Table 2 Pro, and I know that watching movies projected from the end of the device is not so convenient. In the new version, the projector can be rotated 180 degrees with the stand. Below is the location of the projectors in the old and new models.

In terms of design, there are few changes. On the right side of the cylindrical base is the power button for the projector, on the left side there is a power button for the device. The hole for hanging the device on a hook in the kitchen or on a nail in the country remained in the same place.

There is a gadget of 19990 rubles for a 10-inch model and 16990 for an 8-inch . Unlike last year’s lineup, when only the older version had a projector with a 13.3-inch screen, now all devices are equipped with projectors.

Phablet Lenovo Phab Plus

The Yoga tablet has shrunk in size, while the Phab line, on the contrary, has expanded relative to all Lenovo smartphones. The display diagonal of the older Lenovo Phab Plus model is 6.8 inches, which makes the device closer to tablets. The pixel density is 326 per inch, resolution - 1920 x 1080 pixels. The smartphone received standard 32 GB of main memory and 2 GB of RAM, the space can be increased using Micro SD to 64 GB.

From the new - the smartphone, like the tablet, received Dolby Atmos sound. Specially for Geektimes, the work of this system was told by the Director General and engineer for film technologies Dolby in Russia .

The phablet is designed to work with it mainly as with a tablet, and more often with two hands. It has a micro-screen function, designed to work with one hand, but I have not tested it yet - I will describe in more detail how convenient it is when the gadget appears with me.

The battery of the device is 3500 mAh, the manufacturer promises a phone up to 24 hours of talk time. The gadget is available at a price of 19990 . His younger brother, Lenovo Phab with a 6.98-inch display and a 4250 mAh battery, costs half the price - 9990 rubles.
