Lenovo's US Android tablet portfolio is richer than ever before, but before pulling the trigger on the new Yoga Tab, you should consider a few key details.

Unveiled with not a lot of fanfare in Berlin earlier this month alongside a mid-range Idea Tab Plus and a bunch of other slightly more exciting products, the high-end (ish) Lenovo Yoga Tab is already up for grabs in the US exclusively through its manufacturer's official regional website. The $549.99 price point seems just right... if you ignore one very important detail.

That's a solid but not quite mind-blowing spec sheet

11.1-inch LTPS touchscreen with 3200 x 2000 pixel resolution, 800 nits of peak brightness, and 144Hz refresh rate technology;
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor;
Pre-loaded Android 15 software;
Three guaranteed OS updates (through Android 18);
12GB RAM;
256GB internal storage;
8,860mAh silicon-carbon li-ion battery;
68W charging support (45W adapter included in the box);
13MP primary rear-facing camera;
2MP secondary macro sensor;
13MP single front-facing camera;
Quad speaker system with two tweeters, two woofers, and Dolby Atmos audio technology;
USB-C port;
Wi-Fi 7;
Bluetooth 5.4;
255.52 x 165.84 x 6.2mm dimensions;
458 grams weight;
Luna Grey color;
2-in-1 Keyboard Pack and Lenovo Tab Pen Pro included.

In case you're wondering what could have made these objectively great specifications even greater in my eyes, the answer is pretty simple: a state-of-the-art Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. And perhaps a little extra cell capacity given that the Yoga Tab uses that fancy new silicon-carbon material meant to improve battery life compared to the traditional lithium-ion tech.

The display resolution, refresh rate, charging speeds, RAM count, storage space, and the cameras are all about as good as they could have possibly been at a recommended US price of 550 bucks, and if you don't agree with me, you probably didn't notice that the 11.1-inch slate comes bundled with a rapid charger, productivity-enhancing keyboard, and creativity-encouraging stylus at no additional cost.

Are you buying Lenovo's latest Android tablet?

I'm definitely thinking about it I'm buying it right now I'll wait for a discount I don't think so

Now that's what I call a strong value proposition, although believe it or not, I think it might get even stronger soon.

The Yoga Tab Plus is better... and only slightly costlier right now

Yes, you can get quite a bit of extra screen real estate, four more gigs of memory, a significantly more powerful sound system, and the same awesome accessories included in a $599.99 price.

256GB Storage, 16GB RAM, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Processor, 12.7-Inch LTPS Display with 2944 x 1840 Pixel Resolution and 144Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Android 15, 10,200mAh Battery, 45W Charging, 6-Speaker Harman Kardon Sound System with Dolby Atmos Support, 13MP Rear-Facing Camera, 13MP Front-Facing Camera, Seashell Color, Lenovo Tab Pen Pro and Keyboard Stand Included

Technically, of course, the 12.7-inch Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus is typically a lot more expensive, at $769.99, but if that Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered giant can be sold at a cool $170 discount less than a year after its US commercial debut, I believe it's safe to assume that the non-Plus Yoga Tab will also be heavily marked down soon.

While the 11.1-inch Lenovo Yoga Tab doesn't necessarily need a price cut to fend off the $800 and up Samsung Galaxy Tab S11, the OnePlus Pad 3 with a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor inside and a gorgeous 13.2-inch screen in tow only costs $650 at the time of this writing with a nice little pen of its own included (no keyboard, though).

So should you buy the Lenovo Yoga Tab?

Probably not... at the moment. But if it does drop to $450 or even $500 in, say, the next couple of weeks or so, the hot new slate could deliver something very few other Android tablets can offer today. That is, a (virtually) premium experience at a mid-range price point.

Make no mistake, the Yoga Tab looks decidedly premium at first glance, with a unibody metal construction and a razor-thin 6.2mm profile... that goes up to a little over 8mm at its thickest point (namely, around the camera bump).

That's still not a bad number (especially for the sub-$500 price bracket), and I feel like most bargain hunters would be a lot happier with this bad boy than something like the 10.9-inch Galaxy Tab S10 FE mid-ranger, which normally costs, you guessed it, $500 in an entry-level 128GB storage variant.

Naturally, you don't have to agree with me on that, but if you've owned as many affordable Lenovo tablets as I have (which is three or four in the last decade or so), you probably know that these products tend to be super-reliable, almost surprisingly convenient, and reasonably speedy.
