Customer Review

Reviewed here is the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 with 10.1 inches and LTE function.

The tablet itself has a downright ingenious operating concept, of which do more than any other device. Yet I find myself here forced Lenovo to punish, because the execution is unacceptable to me that I will return the unit. Already at delivery, the most recent update was uploaded. I have after my test everything again reset to factory settings to see if that eliminates the software problems - it did not unfortunately.

For the better:

- An ingenious and for themselves operating concept. The built-in stand makes annoying accessories superfluous.
- Bright display with excellent viewing angle
- Very good LTE reception (2 bar at a ride while my HTC One M7 had no power)
- Fairly Good battery, even if he does not begin to approach comes at 18h. I can about 9h Clash of Clans run at a time
- Sound is great. Better I have not heard of any tablet

Neutral:
- Lenovo SmartSwitch is pointless. This function automatically adjusts the color temperature and saturation depending on which mode you are in, but in some cases up to five second delay. Annoying! If, anyway on manually.

- The device has 2GB Ram, which is already being used in the initial state without installed apps 1GB. Whether that's good or bad, everyone should decide for themselves - perhaps the information will help someone further.

For negatives:

- Mediocre processing. Unfortunately, I can not agree with my Vorrezensenten. Yes, the stand is great as from Aluminum. The rest of the case is made of thin plastic and are after. The bezel of the display has visible flaws after only one day. If the device as well as the base processed the iPad could wrap up warm.

- To remove the SIM card is Gefrickel high ten. As there is no meaningful mechanism, and in the guidance it gives no indication how it hinbekommt clever. Tip from me - with a fingernail underneath (so that the card is easily raised, then the card push in the spring so they can throw again without the high levers my card was at least not voluntarily get out..

- The performance is unacceptable in my eyes. Even my iPad first generation in 2010 (!) Had better performance. Clash of Clans jerky, jerky Asphalt 8 more. Even the Lenovo Launcher jerky! This is the first impression of the device has to a user - and Lenovo messed up. With Nova Launcher is no longer quite so bad. But especially the TaskSwitch Ting extremely jerky and although the previews are rendered with very pixelated resolution. Embarrassing! From Bloatware I now see from time - which can be uninstalled after all, mostly.

- There is a kind of automatic brightness control that can not be disabled and brightness adjusts depending on the screen contents. That's just unbelievable annoying! This happens both look at the movies, where I think it's not as extreme, and while chatting. You have to imagine so that alone hold the button on the screen keyboard, the - for example, a place like an a writing - the entire screen is controlled dark, and although no delay - because the screen content by the small pop yes was dark.

- The display resharpens, thereby making everything blurred. That was the crucial point, to let fall the device for me. Some do not like that bother, but for me it is an absolute no-go to buy a 1080p Tablet that delivers an image as inflated 720p. Even "sharp" 720p would be dearer to me than this fuzzy "1080p". By the way, the bootloader, this effect does not occur - but in the recovery already. This means it is a software history can probably be resolved by root - but I did not test.

Conclusion:
For me, a tablet is a window to the world. Actually a glorified screen with a few additional functions. The Lenovo is precisely the most important aspect for me, the display, dirty, you should not expect in 2015. Especially since the tablet is at least priced indeed settled rather in the middle segment. By comparison, I have now the MEDION LIFETAB S10345 concerned about what is ironically made by Lenovo. It costs 200, is much more efficient, much closer to the floor Android, much more workable and has many more connections. For me it is the clearly better and cheaper at the same tablet and the great operating concept from the Yoga Tablet 2 is not worth it to me to forego basics like display and performance.

Review:
Five stars - one star deduction for display, performance, processing - two stars remain.
