Lenovo Yoga Book release date, specs news: 12.2-inch version spotted on Amazon for $299.99

Lenovo impressed a lot of consumers when it released the Yoga Book last year. The two-in-one tablet featured an innovative Halo keyboard that gave the device notebook capabilities. Now, reports suggest that Lenovo is expanding the lineup with the addition of a larger model.

A listing for a 12.2-inch Lenovo Yoga Book with the model number YB-Q501F-GG was recently spotted on Amazon. It is currently priced at $299.99.

Lenovo has not officially announced the device but its existence is notable because of the larger screen and the much affordable price tag. It seems that while consumers will get more screen real estate with the 12.2-inch version, there are some trade-offs as the two-in-one device has lower technical specifications.

According to the listing, the 12.2-inch version of the Yoga Book has a 1,200 x 800-pixel display resolution, is powered by a quad-core 2.4 GHz Intel processor and comes with 2 GB of random-access memory (RAM). It also comes preinstalled with the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow operating system (OS). Just like the other model, the Yoga Book is thin and light at just 0.43 inches and 2.2 pounds. The device comes in the color Gunmetal Grey and has a USB Type-C port.

To recall, the original version of the Yoga Book featured a 10.1-inch Full HD display with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels. It is powered by the Intel Atom x5-Z8550 processor with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of built-in storage. The device had two variants: one with the Android Marshmallow OS and the other with Windows 10.

Unfortunately, prospective customers won't be able to purchase the 12.2-inch Yoga Book immediately as the listing says it is temporarily out of stock.

According to Android Police, it's possible that the technical details found in the Amazon listing are simply a placeholder and that the actual specs will be revealed once the device is officially introduced.

Reports suggest that Lenovo could make the 12.2-inch Yoga Book official at the Mobile World Congress, to be held in Barcelona this February.
