There are two new tablets launching during Innovation World at IFA, both set to be available this month. Yoga Tab Gen 2 is an 11.1-inch Android tablet with a 4K display, MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset, Android 17 out of the box, and an 11,000 mAh battery. It has up to 12GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage –with microSD support – and measures just 8.56mm thick.
