Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 gets its first $200 price cut with Snapdragon 8 Elite and 4K display
Lenovo’s high-end Android tablet just became a lot more tempting. The Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 has received its first major discount in the US, dropping from its original $999.99 price to $799.99. That $200 reduction makes the premium 13-inch tablet a stronger option for anyone looking for a powerful Android device for entertainment, productivity, gaming, or creative work.
The Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 was introduced as one of the company’s flagship tablets, and its hardware makes that clear. At the center of the device is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, giving it the performance expected from a top-tier Android tablet. It is paired with 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256 GB of fast UFS 4.1 storage, which should help with smooth multitasking, app loading, gaming, and content creation.
One of the biggest selling points is the display. While it is not an OLED panel, the 13-inch screen offers a sharp 4K resolution and a fast 144 Hz refresh rate. That combination makes it especially appealing for streaming, browsing, gaming, and drawing. The panel can reach up to 1,100 nits of HDR brightness and supports Dolby Vision, along with up to 100% DCI-P3 color coverage for rich and accurate colors.
Lenovo is also adding extra value by including accessories in the package. The discounted bundle comes with the Tab Pen Pro 2 stylus and a detachable folio keyboard. The keyboard features backlit keys and a metal body, making the tablet more practical for typing, productivity, and light laptop-style use. For students, remote workers, or digital artists, that bundled setup could make the Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 more attractive than tablets that require accessories to be purchased separately.
Battery life is another key highlight. The tablet packs a large 12,700 mAh battery, which is bigger than what many competing premium tablets offer. The larger battery does make the device slightly thicker than some rivals, including the iPad Pro, OnePlus Pad 3, and Galaxy Tab S11, but users who prioritize endurance may find the trade-off worthwhile.
For audio, Lenovo has equipped the Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 with six Harman Kardon speakers, positioning it as a strong media consumption device. Whether used for movies, music, video calls, or games, the speaker setup should help deliver a more immersive experience. Camera hardware includes an 8 MP front-facing camera, along with 13 MP and 2 MP rear cameras.
On the software side, the tablet runs Android 17 out of the box. Lenovo says the Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 is planned to receive major Android OS upgrades through Android 24, plus security updates through 2033. That long update window could be a major advantage for buyers who want a tablet that stays useful and secure for years.
At $799.99, the Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 becomes a more competitive premium Android tablet. With a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, a 4K 144 Hz display, included stylus, bundled keyboard, long software support, and a large battery, it is clearly aimed at users who want more than a basic tablet. For those looking for a powerful Android alternative to an iPad or Galaxy Tab, this first discount makes Lenovo’s flagship tablet much harder to ignore.
