A New Way to Do More 

The new YOGA Tablet 2 models focus on technology that adapts to users, making computing intuitive 

and fun. Still thin and light in all sizes, the tablets provide a new level of flexibility starting with the new 

Hang mode. Users can still enjoy the three original modes – Hold, Tilt and Stand – and now discover a 

fourth mode -  Hang - that lets them hang their device to display content. Responding to customer 

feedback, Lenovo also improved the kickstand in Stand mode for more stability when pressing the 10-

point multitouch screen.  

In addition to the tablet’s responsive design, its performance specs got an upgrade. An Intel® Atom™ 

processor supports the enhanced sound and camera features consisting of dual front speakers with 

cinematic Dolby® Audio and Wolfson® Master HiFi™ for clear sound with an 8 MP rear camera. The 

tablets also sport a number of useful features for connectivity with dual band WiFi and a micro USB with 

OTG connection that lets users charge their phone (requires separate cable). Additionally, users can 

enjoy extra long battery life for staying mobile longer in any of its four modes.  

Designed for Choice 

The YOGA Tablet 2 comes in three screen sizes and two operating systems so users can choose the 

model that’s right for them. For those who like the familiarity and productivity of Windows, Lenovo offers 

the YOGA Tablet 2 with Windows in Ebony-colored 8-in and 10-in models. They come with Microsoft 

Office 365 preloaded (1-year subscription) and with optional 4G on the 10-in model

  Built for entertainment buffs with built-in tablet-projector  

  13-in media tablet with exhilarating JBL sound including a subwoofer  

  Offers incredible up to 15 hours of battery life now with a fourth mode - Hang 

LONDON – October 9, 2014: Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) today announced a new way to read, 

watch, connect and create with the new YOGA Tablet 2 Pro. Developed with Ashton Kutcher, who joined 

Lenovo as a product engineer a year ago, the new YOGA Tablet 2 Pro redefines the tablet experience.  

Not only does it surprise and delight users with a number of world’s first technologies, it delivers 

innovation that ties together hardware and software innovation in a new way.  

Designed to focus on a premium media experience, the YOGA Tablet 2 Pro has as its star feature a built-

in Pico projector. The projector lets users turn inside walls into an instant TV or movie screen

. Lenovo 

paired this premium technology for great video with unbelievable sound by giving the tablet a JBL sound 

system with a subwoofer. These exceptional features along with a host of other technologies make the 

YOGA Tablet 2 Pro like no other tablet. 

Tablets Go Big Screen for Massive Multi-Media  

As more and more people are using tablets to consume the ever growing volume of digital media – 

photos, videos and games - users are demanding bigger screens. A Lenovo research study found 88 

percent of people are devouring large amounts of digital content on tablets at home, and more than half 

of them watch TV several times a week on their tablet

2

. That insight plus focus group feedback led to the 

creation of the larger 13-in screen YOGA Tablet 2 Pro media tablet. Designed from the ground up 

specifically for digitally-hungry consumers, it features a QHD 2560x1440 screen for life-like images.  

A New Way to Watch and Hear with World’s First Technologies  

Whether presenting in a meeting to colleagues or lying at home watching a movie, the YOGA Tablet 2 

Pro makes it easy to view and share content with its Pico projector. Users can project a 16:9 high 

resolution image onto any surface for an instant 50-in theater experience. With automatic image 

adjustment and up to three hours playback time, users can get through a double feature before having to 

plug in the tablet. The tablet’s enhanced audio system also provides a captivating 8 total watts of sound, 

quadrupling the speaker power of an average tablet. Its dual, large-chamber speakers are front-facing for 

dynamic audio, and a subwoofer on the back rounds it out with deep bass notes while Dolby® Audio and 

Wolfson® Master HiFi™ ensure a multi-channel listening experience, just like the movies.  

More Modes, Performance and Software for Multilayered Lifestyles 

The YOGA Tablet 2 Pro makes users’ lives easier in other ways too with a fourth mode – Hang. Now 

users can interact with the tablet in a new way by hanging it anywhere they want. They can also continue 

to enjoy the other three original modes: Hold for better angles for reading, Tilt for easily browsing online 

and Stand for close up content from digital libraries. While loaded with lots of useful features that adapt to 

user’s lifestyles, the Platinum-colored tablet remains thin and light at just 3.7mm thin and 950 grams.  

The new YOGA Tablet 2 Pro also runs on the latest 4th generation Intel® Atom™ processor, helping 

power smooth multimedia playback and rendering, great for multitaskers. Also, for picture-perfect 

snapshots, it has an extremely high resolution 8 MP rear camera and plenty of storage equipped with 

32GB and up to 64 GB via Micro SD. And with up to 15 hours of battery life and optional 4G

, users can 

stay mobile nearly around the clock. To keep up with their busy lifestyles, users need software to keep 

them organized, especially with the myriad of contacts contained in their different email and social media 

accounts. With Brewster on the tablet, users now have an app to manage contacts for them. Brewster 

files contacts from various apps into one address book that merges, de-duplicates, and even adds 

images to contacts and also shares verified contact information to a user’s contacts.
