Of all the tablets announced today by Lenovo, the YOGA Pad Pro is the most expensive of them all, and that price is justified as this 13-inch Android tablet has a feature not available on most other tablets.

YOGA Pad Pro Design

The YOGA Pad Pro is a premium high-end tablet inside and out. Lenovo has largely kept the familiar YOGA Pad design we have come to know but has spiced it up a bit. The body is made from aluminum and a portion of the back is covered in Alcantara with the YOGA name etched on it. There is a 180° steel bracket that doubles as a kickstand and even allows you to hang the tablet on a wall.

YOGA Pad Pro Specs

The YOGA Pad Pro has a 13-inch 2K LTPS LCD display with a 16:10 aspect ratio, a 100% sRGB color gamut, Dolby Vision, and HDR 10. It has thin side bezels but the chin and forehead are thicker.

Just like the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021, this tablet is powered by the Snapdragon 870 processor and has 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of non-expandable UFS 3.0 storage. There is no camera on the back but the front is home to an 8MP fixed focus RGB camera with a TOF sensor for face unlock.

The YOGA Pad Pro has four JBL speakers ( 2x 2.5W and 2 x 2W), Dolby Atmos, and three microphones. It packs a 10200mAh battery that will provide up to 12.7 hours of video playback. The tablet also runs Android 11 with ZUI 12.5 on top. It supports dual-band Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi 6, and has Bluetooth 5.2 and USB-C 3.1.

A unique feature of the Lenovo YOGA Pad Pro is that it has support for HDMI input via a Micro HDMI port. This allows you to use it as a second display for your computer or as a display for a device that supports HDMI out such as the Nintendo Switch.

There is no keyboard cover for the YOGA Pad Pro but you can purchase a capacitive stylus for it.

YOGA Pad Pro Price and Availability

The YOGA Pad Pro has a price tag of ¥3299 (~$515). It comes in black and will go on sale on May 31.
