Lenovo IdeaPad S2109 hits the FCC, 9.7-inch 4:3 ...

Posted on by

Sick of all those 16:10 Android tablets? Prefer something more in line with the iPad’s 4:3 aspect ratio? If an FCC filing is to believed, Lenovo may be bringing a 9.7-inch 4:3 tablet, dubbed the IdeaPad S2109, to shelves near you soon. There aren’t any details on exactly where Lenovo are planning to release this tablet, but specs have been tipped.

Engadget have been told by a tipster that the 9.7-inch screen will be an IPS display, although there’s no word on the resolution. other specs include a TI OMAP chip, four SRS speakers, all running on Ice Cream Sandwich. The FCC diagram also indicates the presence of a microSD card slot, and power requirements are said to be quite lofty – the tablet requires a 2.5A input at 2V, which mean the included power adaptor would be rated for 12.5W, higher than the average of 10W for other tablets.

The tipster also informed Engadget that this mysterious tablet is due to be released sometime this month, although it’s not exactly clear where. The FCC filing lists a wide variety of countries, including the US, so it’s possible that this is a worldwide affair rather than a local offering.

The IdeaPad S2109 looks to be another offering from Lenovo in their new IdeaPad S2 range. they announced the IdeaPad S2 10 earlier this year, running a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, as well as featuring a removable keyboard dock, similar to the Asus Transformer Prime. they claimed 20 hours of battery life, as well as a feather-light 1.1 pound weight. Details since then have been sparse.

Lenovo Unveils Quad-Core IdeaTab K2 Multimedia ...

IDG News Service — Lenovo on Sunday announced the 10-inch IdeaTab K2 gaming and multimedia tablet, which has a quad-core ARM processor and a premium IPS display similar to the one found on Apple’s iPad.

The tablet has Nvidia’s quad-core Tegra 3 processor and Google’s Android 4.0 OS, said Nick Reynolds, director at Lenovo. The tablet also packs some new technologies such as DDR3 memory and SRS surround sound, making it one of Lenovo’s fastest and feature-rich tablets to watch video or play high-definition games, Reynolds said.

The price was not immediately available, and it will initially be launched in China “soon”, Reynolds said. he declined to comment on international availability, but the device will be shown at this week’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

“Lenovo continually assesses the international market dynamics and consumer needs and we may consider launching outside of China later in 2012,” Reynolds said.

Tablets with strong brand recognition like Apple’s iPad 2 and Samsung’s Galaxy Tab come with dual-core processors, and the IdeaTab K2 will be one of the few with a quad-core processor. The combined processing power of four cores should allow the K2 to run multimedia and applications faster than its dual-core counterparts.

“It’s a high-performance, premium device,” Reynolds said.

The tablet’s closest competitor will be Asus’ Eee Pad Transformer Prime, which shipped in November and was the first tablet available with a quad-core processor. The Asus tablet was dubbed the fastest tablet on the market and received positive reviews, partly due to long battery life.

K2 will display images at a 1200 by 800 pixel resolution, and will have cameras on the front and back. Other features include an HDMI port to connect the tablet to high-definition TVs and a full-size USB port. The tablet will come with 1GB or 2GB of DDR3 memory, and up to 64GB of storage. in the future, the tablet will also have 3G and 4G LTE mobile broadband capabilities.

Lenovo also announced new IdeaTab S2 models with screen sizes of between 5 inches to 10 inches, but most will initially be released only in China.

The standout model is the 10-inch IdeaTab S2-10 tablet, which the company said is among the thinnest and lightest available in the category. The tablet runs on Android 4.0, and will be the only IdeaTab S2 tablet available outside China.

The S2-10 is 8.69 mm thick and weighs 580 grams. The tablet has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8960 dual-core 1.7GHZ CPU and Android 4.0. The display shows images at a 1280 by 800-pixel resolution, and the tablet has a front camera and a 5-megapixel rear camera. a keyboard docking option is available for a laptop feel, and a second attachable battery provides up to 20 hours of battery life. The tablet has two USB ports and storage of up to 64GB.
