Lenovo, on Sunday announced three new consumer tablets: A Series Android tablets - the Lenovo TAB 2 A8 and A10-70 Android tablets and a Windows tablet the ideapad MIIX 300 at the Mobile World Congress.
 
The A Series proves affordable tablets can go big for entertainment capabilities with their high speed LTE connectivity and Dolby Atmos technology. Meanwhile, the 8 inch ideapad MIIX 300 offers Windows users pocket-sized productivity.
 
“Our new tablets prove that affordability and innovation can be synonymous. In particular, bringing LTE speed and Dolby Atmos cinema sound is expected in premium devices, but we have challenged the norm and delivered these consumer-desired features to our entry A Series in order to elevate the mobile connected experience,” said Jeff Meredith, vice president and general manager, Tablets, Mobile Business Group, Lenovo.
 
“The best entertainment experiences put you in the heart of the action, and that’s what Dolby Atmos is designed for. The combination of Dolby Atmos sound and the superior digital performance of the TAB 2 are a winning combination, and we are excited to collaborate with Lenovo to provide an outstanding experience that deepens consumer engagement with entertainment on the go,” said John Couling, senior vice president, E-Media Business Group, Dolby Laboratories.
 
Lenovo TAB 2 A10-70 features a 10.1 inch FHD screen, and the tablet comes equipped with the Dolby Atmos, making it the first 10 inch Android tablet to include this moving cinematic sound technology. The device is just 8.9 mm thin and weights 509 gm.
 
Running Android 4.4 KitKat with a MediaTek quad core processor, the tablet now ups the performance of its predecessor with lightning-fast LTE connectivity, dual band Wi-Fi and an 8 megapixel rear camera. It comes in two enticing color choices: Pearl White or Midnight Blue. And with pricing starting at less than $200 USD, Lenovo is reshaping the relationship between price and value.

The device lasts through an entire eight-hour work day without plugging in and features a dual-SIM card slot for voice and LTE for data. And like the TAB 2 A10-70, this tablet also packages affordability with LTE high speed wireless technology, a feature typically unexpected in an entry level tablet.

TAB 2 A8 features Dolby Atmos, a moving audio experience over headphones where sound seems to come from all directions, including overhead, putting users inside the action.
