High-spec Android tablet, but the concern is size

By the way, it's easy to notice the unique function of HDMI input, but when viewed purely as an Android tablet, the Yoga Tab 13 is a pretty high-spec model.

The OS is the latest Android 11 at the moment among the officially released. The processor is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 870, which has a high-end chip with the second highest performance after the 888 series. With 8GB of memory, it is one of the largest Android devices including smartphones.

Therefore, both games that make heavy use of 3D graphics and rhythm games that require severe reaction speeds have high resolution, but you can't feel the sluggishness of drawing, and the operation is comfortable. The immersive feeling is enhanced by the large screen of 13 inches. The sound quality of the stereo speakers at the bottom of the main unit is clear, and you can enjoy a high sense of presence when using it for movies, games, or as a mobile monitor.

"Genshin", which makes heavy use of 3D graphics, can play smooth rhythm games without sluggishness (although it is judged to be a high load) even if the image quality is "highest".However, it may be difficult to operate because the screen is large. "Uma Musume Pretty Derby" is not fully compatible with tablets, but you can play crisply.

It can be said that the large screen that enhances visibility is an advantage even when browsing work materials instead of games. To be honest, even if it is convenient as a mobile monitor, when viewed as an Android tablet alone, the size of this display seems to be over-engineered.

The vertical and horizontal size is about 293.4 x 204.0 mm, which is almost A4 just, and the weight is about 830 g, and the first one is the size and weight that is not suitable for working with one hand. It will be basic to use it upright using a stand, or to hang it by hooking it on a hook. Because the stand is compact, it's difficult to put it on your lap, and of course it's heavy to use while lying down, so it's tough. Due to its unique shape, it is difficult to place it vertically, and it is also difficult to use a general-purpose tablet holder.

The lower part of the main body functions as a grip when held vertically by hand, but it is difficult to hold it for a long time.

When browsing photos, the higher the resolution, the better. However, in the case of video, most of them, including distribution, are currently in full HD (1,920 x 1,080 dots) image quality, and it does not make much sense if the display has a higher resolution. The reason why it feels over-engineered is that there are few Android apps that can take advantage of the 13-inch size and high resolution.

Large screen and high resolution that make you happy when viewing photos.But there aren't many benefits of high resolution so far when playing videos or using other Android apps.

The storage is 128GB. It's enough for normal usage, but it may not have an SD card slot, so it may be a little unpleasant for those who want to download a lot of videos and apps. I would like to consider a method such as releasing as much data as possible to an external storage connected to a USB port.
