What customers like about Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 8 Android 4 4 Cellular (2GB + 32GB)

  • Unique built-in kickstand supporting multiple modes (Stand, Tilt, Hold, and Hang)
  • Excellent battery life, with some testers reporting over 9 to 13 hours of continuous use
  • Sharp and bright 1920 x 1200 IPS display that outperforms many budget competitors
  • Powerful, front-facing stereo speakers with Dolby audio optimization
  • Comfortable ergonomic grip due to the cylindrical battery bulge
  • Expandable storage via microSD card slot tucked behind the kickstand

What customers don't like about Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 8 Android 4 4 Cellular (2GB + 32GB)

  • Highly modified Android skin (Lenovo UI) that lacks an app drawer and can be confusing
  • Underpowered Intel Atom processor for intensive gaming and heavy multitasking
  • Awkward rear camera placement on the cylindrical hinge makes it easy to block with fingers
  • Heavier than most 8-inch tablets due to the metal kickstand and large battery
  • Limited multi-window functionality that only supports a small number of specific apps
  • Slow screen orientation switching and occasional UI lag

Verdict

The Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 8-inch Android (Cellular) is a versatile 4G-enabled device running Android 4.4 KitKat, powered by an Intel Atom Z3745 quad-core processor (up to 1.86GHz) paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Its standout feature is the unique cylindrical battery hinge that supports four modes—Hold, Tilt, Stand, and Hang—while housing a massive 6400mAh battery that delivers exceptional endurance for media consumption. The tablet features a sharp 8-inch IPS display with a 1920 x 1200 resolution and loud front-facing Dolby Audio speakers, making it an excellent portable cinema. Main pros include its ergonomic built-in kickstand, superior battery life, and high-quality audio output. However, it faces some drawbacks, such as a heavily modified Lenovo UI that lacks an app drawer, occasional software lag during heavy multitasking, and an awkwardly positioned 8MP rear camera located on the cylindrical spine.
