Lenovo’s Yoga Tab Plus is a large Android tablet that packs a fair amount into a single package. It includes the tablet, keyboard, and pen—all for a price that’s often around $700, sometimes less if there’s a sale. You can find it direct at Lenovo or at Best Buy (compensated affiliate links). Shop around and you may get a good price when it goes on sale.
You can see it in operation in my latest video review.
The tablet comes equipped with a nice 12.7-inch LTPS display. It’s not OLED, but the 3K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate made it look sharp and feel very responsive. It supports Dolby Vision HDR with a peak brightness reaching up to 900 nits. The display was quite visible outdoors even under direct sunlight. Colors are accurate too, with full DCI-P3 coverage.
Performance is solid thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM. It’s responsive for everyday use, can run Android games well, and even handles emulation up to the PlayStation 2 era reasonably smoothly. There’s 256GB of internal storage, though there’s no SD card slot, which might be a limitation for some. You can expand storage via USB-C, but there’s not much in the way of ports otherwise—just a USB-C and a power button that doubles as a fingerprint reader.
The included keyboard, while not backlit, feels solid—similar to Lenovo’s laptop keyboards with good spacing and travel. It attaches magnetically and folds around the back when not in use. One weak point is the kickstand, which doesn’t sit flush when folded up and feels a bit awkward. Still, the keyboard gives the tablet a laptop-like experience, especially when used with Lenovo’s optional “PC Mode” that lets apps float in windows rather than running full screen.
The included pen introduces something a little different. It offers subtle haptic feedback and a paper-like writing sound that made the experience feel more natural. It also supports pressure sensitivity and charges magnetically on the top of the tablet. The build quality of both the pen and the tablet feels premium, with a metal body and sturdy design.
For media consumption, the tablet supports Widevine L1 DRM, so Netflix and Disney+ stream at the full resolution of the display. Audio is decent with a quad-speaker setup that includes what Lenovo says are subwoofers. There’s not much deep bass, but the sound is balanced and immersive enough, especially in landscape orientation.
The camera system is pretty good especially for conference calls. The front-facing 13MP sensor supports 4K at 30fps and looks better than many laptop webcams I’ve looked at. Around back, there’s a second 13MP camera and a 2MP macro camera. Rear video also records in 4K, but there’s no stabilization, so handheld video can get shaky.
Battery life held up well in testing. Lighter tasks like web browsing and media playback stretched past 11 hours, while more demanding apps will naturally pull that number down. The tablet ships with Android 15 and will get security updates through 2029—less than what Chromebooks or PCs usually get.
There’s also a local AI feature onboard called AI Now. It works completely on device and will analyze attached documents to answer questions. It’s not perfect, but it worked reasonably well in my tests, and it’s entirely self-contained on the device. For more accurate or nuanced answers, you’ll still want to turn to cloud-based tools like ChatGPT or Google Gemini.
All told, the Yoga Tab Plus offers a lot for the price—especially with the pen and keyboard included. It’s not a top-tier device, but for those looking for a larger Android tablet that can handle a bit of everything without breaking the bank, this might be worth a look—particularly if you catch it on sale and don’t mind waiting for the right deal to come along.
