Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus 10 leaks with high-res screen and hefty battery

At IFA 2016 next week, Lenovo is expected to unveil a new tablet line-up, including a refreshed Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 slate with a 10-inch 2560x1600 screen, running Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Judging from the initial report by German website WinFuture.de, the Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus 10 will be a bit of a mixed bag in terms of specs. The new slate will feature a high-res 10-inch screen with an aspect ratio of 16:10 and a resolution of 2560x1600, but reportedly won't impress with powerful hardware under the hood. The leak suggests a modest mid-range chip will power the Yoga Tab 3 Plus 10, namely the Snapdragon 650 clocked at 1.8 GHz, backed up by a generous 9,300 mAh battery which is promised to deliver around 18 hours of usage. Given the high-res screen and unimpressive silicon, the tablet will likely not perform well in scenarios where raw power is demanded, but it should be OK as a media device.

Weighing in at around 683 grams, The Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus 10 will sport a mostly metal body with what looks like a plated leather back. The tablet will have 32 GB of internal memory on board, expandable via an MicroSD card slot, as well as a 13 MP rear-facing camera and a USB Type-C port. Other features include the now standard for the series JBL speakers and flexible hinge system, but no projector, apparently.

The tablet is expected to go on sale for $390 for the base Wi-Fi only model, and $450 for the LTE model.
