The True Camera Phone Built for Every Perspective: The OPPO Find X10 Series Arrives in the Philippines

Tweet

OPPO introduces its next-generation flagship smartphones, led by the industry’s first Triple 200MP Camera System on the Find X10 Pro Max, Hasselblad imaging innovations, and true-to-life photography across every focal length.

Every photograph tells a story, but capturing it as it truly happened takes more than a powerful camera. From the finest details of a portrait to the changing light of a landscape, great photography is about preserving the colors, textures, and atmosphere that make every moment worth remembering.

OPPO brings this philosophy to life in its latest generation of flagship smartphones with the official Philippine launch of the OPPO Find X10 Series, featuring the OPPO Find X10 and OPPO Find X10 Pro Max. Delivering on the promise of “The True Camera Phone,” the series combines imaging technology co-developed with Hasselblad, the next-generation LUMO True Image Engine, and advanced camera systems to capture images with remarkable clarity and consistency across focal lengths.

Leading the lineup is the OPPO Find X10 Pro Max, debuting the industry-first Triple 200MP Camera System. Exclusive to the Pro Max, this breakthrough brings 200MP resolution to the main, ultra-wide, and telephoto cameras, capturing stunning detail from sweeping landscapes to distant subjects. The OPPO Find X10 joins the lineup with a powerful Dual 200MP Camera System, giving users more freedom to capture everyday moments with striking clarity.

Together, the two devices mark a new chapter in OPPO's pursuit of authentic imaging, where advanced technology works to preserve the beauty of a scene rather than change how it naturally appears.

Three 200MP Cameras, No Weak Focal Length.

Smartphone photography has traditionally placed its strongest imaging capabilities on the main camera, often requiring users to compromise on clarity when switching to ultra-wide or telephoto perspectives. The OPPO Find X10 Series challenges this limitation by delivering exceptional imaging capabilities across different focal lengths, allowing users to approach every subject with greater creative freedom.

At the forefront is the OPPO Find X10 Pro Max's industry-first Hasselblad Triple 200MP Camera System, featuring three high-resolution cameras, each designed to excel in a different photographic perspective. Its 200MP Ultra HDR Main Camera captures exceptional detail through a large 1/1.3-inch sensor, making it ideal for portraits, everyday photography, and scenes with challenging lighting conditions.

For expansive landscapes, architecture, and group compositions, the 200MP Ultra-Sensing Ultra-Wide Camera offers a 124-degree field of view, capturing more of the scene while retaining remarkable detail. Its autofocus also enables close-up macro photography, revealing intricate textures that might otherwise go unnoticed. Completing the system is the 200MP Ultra-Sensing Telephoto Camera, designed to bring distant subjects closer without sacrificing image quality. From expressive portraits to architectural details and live performances, it offers greater flexibility to compose photographs from different distances.

The OPPO Find X10 brings this same commitment to versatile imaging through its Dual 200MP Camera System, combining a 200MP Ultra-Clear Main Camera and a 200MP Ultra-Sensing Telephoto Camera with a 50MP Ultra-Wide Camera.

Beyond resolution, both devices give users the flexibility to crop and reframe high-resolution images while retaining fine detail. This allows a single photograph to reveal multiple compositions, giving photographers more creative possibilities even after the shutter has been pressed

True-to-Life Photography, Powered by LUMO True Image Engine

While high resolution captures more detail, a truly exceptional photograph must also preserve the character of the moment. The OPPO Find X10 Series introduces the LUMO True Image Engine, OPPO's next-generation computational imaging technology designed to reproduce authentic colors, natural lighting, and realistic textures.

Developed to address the excessive processing often associated with smartphone photography, the LUMO True Image Engine brings together three essential elements of image quality: true-to-life color, tone, and texture.

Its next-generation True Color Camera uses 24-channel multispectral capture and delivers 5.5 times the dynamic range of its predecessor, allowing the device to interpret colors more accurately across different lighting conditions. This helps preserve natural skin tones, subtle color variations, and the original character of a scene.

The technology also delivers more natural contrast by maintaining the balance between highlights and shadows. Instead of excessively brightening darker areas or flattening dramatic lighting, it preserves the atmosphere that gives a photograph depth and emotion.

For added realism, the LUMO True Image Engine takes a more restrained approach to sharpening and noise reduction, helping maintain authentic textures in everything from skin and hair to fabrics, architecture, and natural landscapes.

On the OPPO Find X10 Pro Max, this imaging experience is further strengthened by DeepPix technology, integrated into its custom 200MP ISOCELL HPC main camera sensor co-developed by OPPO and Samsung. Supporting up to 17 stops of dynamic range, DeepPix helps retain detail in scenes where bright highlights and deep shadows appear together.

This becomes particularly valuable when photographing sunsets, backlit portraits, and other challenging environments where preserving the original lighting makes all the difference.

The result is a camera experience that prioritizes photographs that look natural, detailed, and faithful to the moment as it was seen.

Professional Imaging Expertise Through Hasselblad

At the heart of the OPPO Find X10 Series is OPPO's continued collaboration with legendary camera manufacturer Hasselblad, bringing professional imaging expertise into a smartphone designed for everyday use. The partnership goes beyond camera branding, influencing how the Find X10 Series approaches color reproduction, tonal balance, and photographic expression.

Through Hasselblad's color science and the natural image processing of Hasselblad Master Mode, the devices aim to produce images with the depth, authenticity, and visual character associated with professional photography. This philosophy is reflected throughout the camera experience, allowing photographers and everyday users to capture their subjects with more confidence while maintaining greater control over the final image.

For creators who want to push their photography further, both models also support dedicated OPPO Hasselblad Teleconverter accessories, extending their optical reach for subjects that cannot easily be approached. When paired with the accessory, the OPPO Find X10 Pro Max supports true 10x optical zoom, while the OPPO Find X10 delivers 11x optical zoom. This provides additional opportunities to photograph concerts, wildlife, and distant subjects with greater detail.

A Flagship Experience Built Around Creativity

Beyond photography, the OPPO Find X10 Series delivers the performance, display quality, and durability expected from a premium flagship smartphone. Both models support 4K video recording at up to 120fps and 8K recording at 30fps, giving content creators more flexibility to capture cinematic scenes, detailed footage, and memorable everyday moments.

The OPPO Find X10 Pro Max features a spacious 6.78-inch flat display, while the OPPO Find X10 offers a more compact 6.59-inch flat display. Both support adaptive refresh rates of up to 144Hz and the BT.2020 wide color gamut, creating a vivid and immersive experience for reviewing photographs, watching videos, and enjoying everyday content.

An 8,000mAh silicon-carbon battery on both models supports extended use, allowing users to spend more time creating, exploring, and capturing moments throughout the day.

The devices also boast IP66, IP68, and IP69 dust and water resistance ratings, alongside SGS Five-Star Drop Resistance Certification, providing additional confidence for photography and everyday use in different environments.

With refined designs, professional-grade displays, and powerful imaging capabilities, the OPPO Find X10 Series brings together the essentials of a complete flagship experience without losing sight of what makes it distinctive: its camera.

InLife launches new global fund that combines technology and income investing

Tweet

InLife has launched its Global Equity Premium Income Fund (GEPI), a new variable unit-linked (VUL) fund that has the potential to provide monthly income payouts through an actively managed portfolio with exposure to the Nasdaq-100 and a covered call options strategy.

What sets the target fund apart is that it is designed to provide monthly income by selling call options to generate option premiums, as the fund name suggests. In periods of elevated market volatility, call options become more valuable, and the income received by the fund improves.

GEPI invests through a feeder fund into J.P. Morgan’s Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPQ). The target fund provides exposure to companies similar to those represented in the Nasdaq-100 Index, which tracks 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq stock market, including Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta, among others.

"Filipino investors are increasingly seeking global growth opportunities, particularly in innovation and technology, but often hesitate due to market volatility. With GEPI, we are bridging this gap by combining exposure to world-leading tech innovators with an active covered call strategy. This allows our policyholders to avoid the common trap of exiting their investments during heightened market volatility, helping them navigate different market environments with greater confidence,” said InLife Chief Product and Innovation Officer Jose Eduardo O. Ang.

GEPI is intended for investors seeking a smoother Nasdaq-100 investing experience while achieving regular monthly income payouts. It may also complement existing income investor portfolios by providing higher yields.

The fund will be available for new applications and eligible existing InLife VUL policies for fund switches and top-ups, including Wealth Assure Plus and Solid Fund Builder, subject to applicable eligibility requirements.

Through GEPI, InLife expands its range of investment-linked fund options, giving policyholders another way to participate in global markets while pursuing their financial goals.

Interested policyholders may consult their InLife financial advisors or visit https://www.inlife.com.ph/global-equity-premium-income-fund to know more about GEPI.

Find X10 Series Strengthening OPPO's Competitive Edges in the Premium Smartphone Market

2026 marks 18 years of OPPO's global expansion, with the ColorOS user base now exceeding 770 million across more than 90 countries and regions. Throughout this journey, OPPO has remained committed to delivering high-quality products and services that create meaningful value for users.

Today, the company is sharpening its strategic focus on the premium segment, building differentiated competitiveness through imaging while delivering elevated user experiences to drive its next stage of global growth, and bring new vitality to the market.

The premium consumers have delivered a resounding response to OPPO's flagship products this year. According to the latest Omdia report, OPPO Find Series shipments grew more than 500% year-on-year in 1H 2026, accompanied by a significant increase in OPPO's shipment share in the USD $600+ price segment. Over the past two years, the share of premium smartphones within OPPO's overall smartphone shipments has doubled year on year, underscoring the growing importance of the premium segment to OPPO's business.

Looking ahead, OPPO will continue to strengthen its premium offering and drive further growth in the segment.

Building Around the New Generation's Needs in Imaging, AI and Well-being

To deliver a differentiated premium experience, OPPO will concentrate its investment in three key dimensions that matter the most for the new generation: imaging, AI, and well-being.

Driven by its true-to-life imaging experiences, OPPO aims to empower the new generation to hold onto what they have seen, felt, and lived. With the self-developed OPPO LUMO True Image Engine, the Find X10 Series is designed to provide true-to-life detail, color, and tone in every life moment captured. The Find X10 Pro Max takes this further with a Triple 200MP Camera System, providing greater flexibility for zooming, cropping, and reframing, turning the feeling behind the shot into personalized expression.

OPPO's personalized proactive AI and professional well-being monitoring innovations empower the new generation to find their own rhythm in an increasingly demanding world. In AI, the Find X10 Series helps users accomplish complex tasks by understanding their intent, with user authorization and privacy safeguards in place. In well-being, OPPO combines professional sensors and algorithm innovation across physical activity, sleep, and emotional wellness to help users maintain a healthy balance of life.

Inspiring Young Creators to "Make Your Moment"

Beyond product design, OPPO brings its "Make Your Moment" brand slogan to life through global initiatives, making creative expression more accessible to creators worldwide.

In April, OPPO and Discovery launched the Filmmaker Accelerator as the centerpiece of their third-year collaboration. The program provides tailored mentorship across the entire creative journey, supporting creators from 6 countries in filming the cultural stories in their hearts through the advanced video capabilities of the Find X10 Series.

Filmmakers captured cultural moments using the Find X10 Series

The OPPO Global Photography Awards 2026 continues to empower the new generation of creators to express themselves on a global stage. Since its launch, the competition has received millions of entries from nearly 90 countries and regions, capturing vibrant moments of love, celebration, and creativity through the unique lenses of users worldwide.

Moving forward, OPPO will continue to advance its global presence in the premium segment, and to innovate in imaging, AI, and well-being, empowering the new generation with seamless creative expression and a self-paced lifestyle.

Before We Sail: Five Ways 2GO Prepares for Passenger Safety

Tweet

Ahead of the holiday travel season, 2GO Travel highlights the preparations behind every voyage, reinforcing its commitment as a reliable travel partner for safe and comfortable journeys. At 2GO Travel, every voyage begins with a continuous commitment to safety.

From training crew members and inspecting safety equipment to assessing vessel readiness and securing the necessary clearances, a series of measures takes place behind the scenes before every ship departs.

Through Before We Sail, 2GO Travel highlights five key practices that help support safe and dependable journeys for travelers across its passenger network.

1. Building readiness through regular crew drills

Safety begins with a well-prepared crew. Regular drills give 2GO personnel opportunities to practice emergency response procedures, strengthen coordination, and reinforce their individual responsibilities onboard.

These exercises help foster a culture where safety is a shared responsibility, and readiness remains a priority every day.

2. Inspecting safety facilities and equipment

Alongside crew preparedness, 2GO routinely inspects safety facilities and equipment onboard its vessels to help ensure their condition and operational readiness.

These inspections support emergency preparedness and help identify any items requiring attention before a vessel sets sail.

3. Conducting vessel checks before every journey

Preparations continue even after a ship completes its voyage. Following arrival and ahead of departure, technical teams carry out routine deck, engine, and bearing inspections to assess the vessel's condition and readiness for its next trip.

These assessments help keep vessels operating safely and efficiently for passengers and crew alike.

4. Screening baggage and cargo brought onboard

Passenger safety also extends to everything carried aboard the vessel.

As part of standard operating procedures, baggage and cargo undergo screening before loading to help manage potential risks and contribute to a secure onboard environment.

5. Securing the required departure clearances

Before leaving port, 2GO works closely with the Philippine Coast Guard to complete the required inspections and obtain the necessary departure clearances.

A vessel departs only after receiving the required approval, providing an additional layer of oversight before every sailing.

A Shared Commitment to Safe Travel

These five practices form part of 2GO Travel's ongoing commitment to passenger safety. With 2GO Travel's strict measures in place, the company works to ensure every voyage begins with safety at the forefront, giving passengers greater confidence every time they sail.

Passengers also play an important role in maintaining a safe onboard environment. Travelers are encouraged to pay attention to safety briefings, familiarize themselves with emergency exits and life jacket locations, and approach crew members for assistance.

As families prepare to reunite and travel home this holiday season, 2GO Travel continues the work behind every journey, preparing its people, maintaining its vessels, and carrying out the measures that help passengers sail with confidence.

vivo V80 teases fun AI-powered camera features

Tweet

Smartphone photography is about to get more playful as vivo teases the creative camera features of its upcoming vivo V80, led by Creative Sticker Collage - an AI-powered tool that transforms everyday Live Photos into imaginative, moving compositions.

Set to launch in the Philippines on October 30, the new smartphone will introduce more ways for users to experiment with their photos, explore different styles, and bring their ideas to life straight from the camera.

With Creative Sticker Collage, users can turn their favorite people, pets, and moments into stickers, then combine them with other Live Photos to create scenes limited only by their imagination. A friend can appear riding a paper plane, a beloved pet can become larger than life, or an ordinary snapshot can become a playful creation worth sharing.

The fun does not stop there. The vivo V80 will also bring more AI-powered camera features designed to make creative photography easier and more accessible.

The AI Creative Camera lets users transform the lighting and atmosphere of their photos with a single tap. Styles such as Sunlight, Glow, and Top Lighting offer different ways to enhance a shot, helping users achieve studio-inspired effects without spending time adjusting multiple settings or editing images afterward.

For those who love a touch of nostalgia, CCD Flash Portrait brings a retro-inspired aesthetic to portraits. Combining flash fill-light with CCD-inspired processing, the feature aims to keep faces clear and skin tones natural while adding vintage colors and striking contrast. At night, it helps subjects stand out against a deeper background, creating portraits that capture both the person and the atmosphere of the moment.

These creative tools complement the vivo V80's imaging system, which combines vivo's imaging technology with ZEISS optics to deliver detailed portraits and videos across different scenarios. The smartphone features a 50-megapixel ZEISS OIS Main Camera with optical image stabilization, a 50-megapixel ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera, an ultra-wide-angle camera, and a group selfie camera, giving users more flexibility to capture everything from close-up portraits to group shots and wider scenes.

With its combination of ZEISS-powered imaging, playful photo effects, and AI-assisted creativity, the vivo V80 teases a camera experience that goes beyond simply taking pictures — giving users more ways to experiment, express their personalities, and turn everyday moments into something memorable.

This is only a glimpse of what's in store. The vivo V80 is set to launch on October 30 at 6 pm, with the event livestreamed on the vivo Philippines Facebook page.

Tune in to discover the smartphone's creative camera capabilities and see what else vivo has prepared for its newest portrait-focused device. Viewers can visit the page and click “Going” on the livestream event so they won't miss the reveal.

Maynilad makes handwashing a community effort

Tweet

Maynilad's handwashing stations for schools in Muntinlupa and Navotas show how access to the right hygiene facilities helps keep children healthy

DepEd-Navotas officials welcome the donation of modular handwashing stations and IEC materials by Maynilad.

At Daanghari Elementary School in Navotas City, hundreds of students line up for a handful of faucets. By the time the line reaches the back, the soap is already gone.

A teacher watched too many students face this problem and lamented how many of the kids sit down to eat or finish school activities with unwashed hands.

“Lima na ang handwashing areas sa campus, kung tutuusin. Pero pag nagkasabay-sabay pag PE or gardening or experiment, ‘yung iba di na nakakapaghugas,“ Grade 6 Math teacher Elmer Espritu said. "Nakakabahala rin dahil puwedeng mag-cause ng pagkalat ng sakit 'yon sa kanila. Apektado ang attendance at performance sa klase."

Handwashing with soap is one of the most effective ways to reduce disease transmission. According to several clinical studies, handwashing lessens the risk of illness by 30% and reduces diarrheal morbidity by 20%.

During the week of Global Handwashing Day, Maynilad Water Services Inc. eased the shortage of taps in schools as the company installed modular handwashing stations in ten campuses: six schools in Navotas, Daanghari among them, and four schools in Muntinlupa.

Maynilad taught learners at Daanghari Elementary School the right way to wash hands.

It All Starts with Water

On paper, most schools have basic handwashing facilities. According to the latest report by the Department of Education, 92.4% of public elementary schools in the country have access to handwashing facilities on campus. The figure is 89% for public junior high schools, while public senior high schools have 85.3%. Overall, that leaves roughly one in nine public junior high schools and one in seven public senior high schools without them.

“Mahal pa naman magkasakit, at marami sa mga estudyante namin ay galing sa low-income families,” Grade 4 MAPE teacher Felizardo C. Clemente said. “Siyempre, kung nakakapaghugas ng kamay, nakakaiwas sa sakit. Kung walang sakit, iwas gastos sa gamot at doktor.”

Maynilad’s Rosmon Tuazon, Head of Corporate Marketing, says the stations are meant to close that gap and give schools the facilities they need.

“We recognize that not all schools have sufficient handwashing areas,” Tuazon said. “Having these facilities encourages more students to develop a habit, and it makes it accessible for all to do it more often.”

Combining hygiene and environment education

Maynilad also took the lesson beyond the faucet through its WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) and environmental education initiatives. It told the students of Sucat Senior High School in Muntinlupa City why reliable water is crucial to the success of a hygiene campaign. It told Daanghari Elementary School students why water conservation matters. The company also shared how the management of wastewater completes the picture of a healthy and vibrant community. The goal is simple: nobody gets sick, and this starts at home and is carried to key public spaces like schools.

Maynilad’s Marie Antonette H. De Ocampo, VP and Head of Corporate Affairs and Communications, says the lesson is as much about forming the right habits and water conservation as it is about water resources and supply networks.

“A healthy community starts with what children learn early,” De Ocampo says. “When they know where water comes from and where it goes, they take care of both.”

\Maynilad partnered with stakeholders such as the Muntinlupa City Lake Management Office to share about water conservation and water resource protection with high schoolers as part of its GHD education drive.

Maynilad employs creative teaching strategies to teach water, sanitation, hygiene, and environmental responsibility.

The many hands that keep it going

“We always go back to the basics of a hygiene campaign: provide the right tools, encourage the right habit,” Rosmon Tuazon said. “Students and teachers use handwashing stations. Administrators maintain the facilities. Advocates like Maynilad help fill gaps such as the need to sustain awareness. Each of these players makes it possible for the school to turn handwashing into a habit.”

The habit also leaves the campus. Children who practice it at school carry it back home, teach their siblings, and remind their parents to wash up before meals.

“We aim to turn WASH into a community effort,” Marie Antonette H. De Ocampo said. “We want households to learn not to take each drop for granted. We need customers to report leaks. We need people to protect rivers and other bodies of water. Water, sanitation, hygiene, education, and the environment may sound like separate agendas. In our WASH education drives, they all meet at the faucet.”

Back in the line, the students wash more often now. A teacher watches, and this time, he sees students scrub between their fingers, without needing to be reminded.

SBFI helps school leaders turn communities into partner

Tweet

School principals receive their training certificates after completing the five-day in-person training. Also pictured in the front row are DepEd NEAP Director Dr. Joseph Dela Cruz (third from left), SBFI Executive Director Louie De Real (fourth from left), SBFI Trustee Melissa Aquino (fifth from left), and ACED Officer-in-Charge Amelia P. Dycoco (sixth from left).

Schools cannot do it alone. Many of the factors that shape a child's success lie beyond the classroom. Parents, local leaders, businesses, faith groups, volunteers, and alumni all have a role to play. When communities move from simply supporting schools to becoming active partners, children are more likely to thrive.

This was the focus of the Year 3 Principals Training of Mentoring Future Leaders for Nation-Building, an educator development program of Security Bank Foundation, Inc. (SBFI) and the Ateneo Center for Educational Development (ACED).

The training held in Iloilo brought together 22 public school principals from across the country to explore how schools can build stronger partnerships with the communities they serve.

Through stakeholder mapping, case studies, workshops, and peer learning sessions, participants

examined how trust, shared purpose, and collaboration can strengthen support systems for learners and help schools address challenges beyond academics.

For Melissa Aquino, Trustee and Corporate Secretary of SBFI, effective community engagement begins with a shift in mindset. "The community is not just an ATM or a source of support. It is a partner. The child belongs not only to the school, but to all of us."

The program encouraged principals to look beyond fundraising and volunteerism and instead build long-term relationships that enable communities to contribute meaningfully to student success.

Guided by Dr. Joseph Dela Cruz, Director IV of the National Educators Academy of the Philippines (NEAP), participants developed Community Engagement Plans tailored to the needs of their schools.

Among them was Rona May Esperanzate Cruz of Ricardo Viola Adriano Elementary School, who plans to mobilize SK officials, alumni, parents, religious groups, and private partners as reading volunteers and mentors through the KABSAT Learning Teams initiative.

Meanwhile, Dr. Hanena Epino of Datu Andiam National High School aims to reduce absenteeism by building a support network of school personnel, peer mentors, barangays, and local government partners.

While their priorities differ, the message was the same: schools are strongest when communities work alongside them.

Through Mentoring Future Leaders for Nation-Building, SBFI and ACED are helping school leaders move beyond managing schools to mobilizing communities, recognizing that lasting change happens when an entire community takes part in a child's future.

• The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9n (15”, 11), a premium creator laptop powered by NVIDIA RTX Spark, designed for creators and developers running demanding AI development, content creation, and software development workloads locally. It also brings advanced RTX gaming capabilities to the Yoga portfolio.

·         The Lenovo Yoga 9n 2-in-1 (16”, 11), a versatile convertible that combines NVIDIA RTX Spark with a 360-degree design and dual-surface pen input for creators who need high performance and the flexibility to work independently or collaborate.

·         The Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 and Lenovo Yoga Tab Gen 2, which support natural interaction across pen, voice, vision, and touch for ideation, creation, productivity, and collaboration.

·         Lenovo Smart Canvas Concept, a new conceptual cross-device experience designed to help users capture ideas and continue their work across compatible Lenovo devices.

• Lenovo Qira, Lenovo’s built-in personal ambient intelligence, brings a single, context-aware AI experience across supported Yoga PCs and tablets. It helps creators capture inspiration, retain relevant context, and pick up where they left off as ideas move between devices and through each stage of the creative process.

Together, these products and experiences extend the Yoga portfolio across ideation, production, and collaboration—from portable systems built for advanced local workloads to pen-first tablets and connected software experiences.

“Creative work increasingly spans multiple applications, devices, and ways of interacting,” said Jun Ouyang, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Consumer Segment, Lenovo Intelligent Devices Group. “With the latest Yoga portfolio, we’re bringing together high-performance local computing, flexible form factors, and more personal cross-device experiences. This gives creators and developers specialized tools for different stages of their work while reducing friction as projects move between devices and applications.”

“Great ideas don’t always happen at a desk, and they don’t always begin with a keyboard,” said Johnson Jia, Senior Vice President, Global Innovation Center, Lenovo Intelligent Devices Group. “The latest Yoga tablets allow users to capture and develop ideas through pen, voice, vision, and touch. Together with Lenovo Qira and Lenovo Smart Canvas Concept, they make it easier to continue creating across devices as the work evolves.”

Natural Creation Across Pen, Voice, Vision, and Touch—The New Lenovo Yoga Tablets

Ideas can begin in different ways: as a sketch, a handwritten note, a spoken thought, or an image captured in the moment. The Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 and Lenovo Yoga Tab Gen 2 are designed to support these different forms of interactive experiences, combining pen-first interaction, premium displays, and Lenovo Qira in portable devices built for creation, productivity, collaboration, and entertainment.

The built-in native AI experiences⁴ across both tablets—Lenovo AI Vision, Lenovo Qira, Smart AI Input, AI Creation Tools, AI Note, and Live Transcript—help users capture, develop, and refine ideas through pen, voice, vision, and touch. Rather than the user adapting to the technology, interactions happen naturally through gesture, gaze, voice, pen, and touch while AI quietly works in the background to help ideas flow from inspiration to creation.

The new additions to the Yoga Tablet Series complement these experiences with intuitive gesture controls including Click to Draw, Squeeze to Select, and Flip to Erase, together with 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity, tilt detection, and palm rejection for precise writing and sketching. Combined with Lenovo’s 4K PureSight Pro display technology⁵, the pen and display provide a detailed, responsive Canvas for illustration, annotation, note-taking, and other creative work across both tablets.

Both tablets launch with Android 17¹² and include seven OS upgrades¹² through Android 24, as well as up to seven years of security updates through 2033¹², helping them remain current and secure for longer.

While both tablets share the same multimodal native AI experiences and pen-first foundation, the two are designed for different creative priorities.
