Lenovo has unveiled a new 10-inch tablet, called the IdeaTab S2 , which is vying for the title of the thinnest and
lightest tablet in the market, at just 8.64 mm thick, and a weight of 590 grams. Lenovo will apparently be rebranding
all its consumer tablets (such as the IdeaPad A2 , and IdeaPad K2 ) as IdeaTab, and the IdeaPad moniker will now
only refer to the company’ s range of consumer laptops. The announcement for the IdeaTab S2 came without
pricing information, but should start shipping by the second quarter of the year. More details are expected at CES.
Based on Android 4.0 ICS, the Lenovo IdeaTab S2 , a.k .a IdeaTab S2 -10 will sport a 1.5GHz dual-core Scorpion
CPU on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8x60 chipset, 1GB of RAM, SSD storage up to 64GB, 5MP autofocus camera,
Wi-Fi and 3G (with voice-call ) support, and up to 9 hours of battery life. As for the resolution of the HD display,
IdeaTab S2 has a 10-inch 1280x800 LED-backlit IPS display. Interestingly, an HDMI-out port is also onboard. Some
reports say the IdeaTab S2 will feature a 1.7 GHz dual-core CPU, not a 1.5GHz one.
As can be seen in the below image, the Lenovo IdeaTab S2 will come with a keyboard dock, like the Asus
Transformer. The dock is expected to be priced at $200, and comes with a battery onboard for augmented
battery life, as well as two USB ports, and a SD card reader.
Also part of the announcement, was the Lenovo K91 Smart TV , of which you can find more coverage here .
Lenovo also re-announced the LePhone S2 smartphone, one that was previously announced for China. The
device is also expected to ship globally, sometime this year. It is based on Android 2.3 Gingerbread, powered by a
1.4GHz single-core processor, has an 8MP camera, and has what Lenovo calls Kernel-level security, for a deeply
secure host environment.
