Verdict

The Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 3G is an 8-inch Android 4.2 tablet featuring a unique cylindrical spine that houses a large 6,000mAh battery and a built-in aluminium kickstand for multiple viewing modes. It is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core MediaTek processor with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD up to 64GB, and features a 1280 x 800 IPS display. Main pros include its exceptional battery life of up to 18 hours, ergonomic grip, and integrated stand that facilitates hands-free use. However, it suffers from a relatively low-resolution screen compared to its peers, modest processing performance that can lag under heavy use, and a heavily modified user interface that some users find cluttered.
