tablet market Q4 2019

You've probably noticed a stream of news coming in hot these days, as financial results for Apple, Samsung, Huawei and more companies have been released. We now also know the tablet market situation, as IDC figures are in and it doesn't look hot, as the entire market decreased by 0.6 percent in Q4 2019.

Q3 was actually better, with a slight bump up, but now, given the holiday season, it's going downhill again. The tablet market is down by 0.6 percent year-over-year, and 43.5 million slate units have been shipped over the October–December timeframe, according to the new IDC survey. Apple continues to be a pioneer, just as the iPad turned 10. Around 15.9 million units were sold by Cupertino in Q4 2019. Samsung was second at 7 million, while Huawei was third at 4 million.



Amazon is close to the fourth, at 3.3 million, and has actually dropped the most, down 29 percent from the previous year. Lenovo is fifth, with 2.5 million units. We also have estimates for the whole of the 2019 calendar year, which was not very successful for the category again. For the entire 2019 calendar year, the industry decreased by 1.5 per cent and global shipments totalled 144.1 million units. Apple shipped the most tablets, doubling Samsung's second-place effort by 21.7 million by 49.9 million more than that.

Huawei had 14.1 million slates and 14 million Amazons. It was a rather modest year for tablets, only the Galaxy Tab S5e, Tab S6 and MatePad Pro were among the only cheap iPads released and the Android market, but the latter came too late to be felt in sales. This year's 5G slates are starting to pop more and Samsung already has one out. That niche as a whole could give the market a rise.

Today in India, Lenovo is launching a new laptop, the Lenovo M10 FHD REL screen, which comes with midrange specifications. Some highlights, such as the charger, which is generous enough, are worth mentioning. Let's see what the 10.1 incher is to offer.

Lenovo M10 FHD REL packs a 10.1-inch full HD IPS LCD screen instead of beefy bezels. We consider a 5 MP selfie camera on the front, plus dual speakers on the front. There's an 8 MP shooter on the back, while the Snapdragon 450 cpu, 3 GB of RAM, and 32 GB of storage, plus microSD, are located inside. Android 9.0 Pie and a 7000 mAh battery chargeable via microUSB are available here. There's also a dual WiFi band, audio jack, and FM radio tuner.

The device is available in either WiFi or WiFi + 4G versions. We also have support for Bluetooth 4.2, Dolby Atmos, and from what I can see the OS is pretty close to storing Ios, giving or taking a few icons. The drug is already on sale in India at a price of $196. No idea if we're going to see a debut on the international stage. Those who purchase the tablet from Flipkart will also receive a 5 per cent instant credit card discount from Axis Bank Buzz.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold

Hey guys! We have a news for CES 2020: Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold is a foldable laptop. If I remember correctly Lenovo revealed a foldable laptop with a full screen display at Computex last year. Now they're back at CES 2020 with additional device details including price tag and start date. Let's face the ThinkPad X1 Fold from Lenovo.

So, we're dealing with a laptop with a flexible screen, an OLED 4:3 panel that folds down the centre. Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold packs a 13.3 inch LG pOLED touchscreen with 4:3 aspect ratio and 2048x 1536 pixel resolution. It has active pen support and the device is very lightweight when folded, and easier to transport than even most tablets. It also only weighs 999 grams, which is quite impressive for a 13.3 inch laptop.

The machine can be flipped at 90 degrees, so it is easy to use the bottom half as the virtual keyboard, and the top side as the main screen. The ThinkPad X1 Fold also comes with a lightweight phyiscale Bluetooth keyboard that can support the virtual keyboard. You are also having the device's leather cover, which includes a stand. Lenovo claims the product has been in development for 4 years, and it has undergone a variety of changes in design.

In the end the system of multi-link torque prevailed. Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold is made of carbon fiber and metal alloys with a light weight. Specs include 8 GB of RAM and an Intel Core mystery processor with "Intel Hybrid Technology," which will also bring graphics from Intel Gen11. The price tag is $2500, and with Windows 10, the system will launch in mid 2020. There will be a later version of Windows 10X, too. Inside, there is 1 TB of SSD storage, a 5 MP HD RGB + IR camera, and a Dolby Audio speaker.

At CES 2020 in Las Vegas, Lenovo showed off the world's first 5 G laptop, with the Lenovo Yoga 5 G becoming the first PC to connect to 5 G networks.

We first saw back at Computex 2019 an early version of the Lenovo Yoga 5 G, where it was branded as Project Limitless before its official name was released, and now we have a glimpse of the final product.

This is an ultra-portable2-in-1 device, like other Yoga laptops, with a screen that can be folded backwards to turn it into a tablet.

The Lenovo Yoga 5 G is the first laptop to run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx platform, which includes built-in 5 G connection support, enabling the Yoga 5 G to connect via a service provider and super-fast mobile internet access.

This will allow you to easily download large files, with download speeds of around 4Gb / s, according to Lenovo. If this is handled, it could be a real change in the game.

24-hour battery life The Lenovo Yoga 5 G provides 5 G connectivity, but it can also support the battery life of up to 24 hours. Qualcomm Adreno 680 graphics and Dolby Atmos driven user-facing stereo speakers mean that the Yoga 5 G should also be a good entertainment system.

The 14-inch full HD IPS screen provides 400 nits of brightness, so it should provide vibrant image quality, weighing just 2.86lbs (1.3 kg), so it's going to be nice and portable.

We look forward to an attempt soon to give the Lenovo Yoga 5 G–keep an eye out for our hands on review. From our point of view, previous Snapdragon-powered laptops were missed opportunities as they were dropped by poor performance. We hope the pattern will be bucked by the Lenovo Yoga5G.

In the first quarter of 2020, the Lenovo Yoga 5 G will go on sale starting at $1,499 (around £ 1,200, AU$2,100) and will be branded as the Lenovo Flex 5 G in North America.
