It has been almost three years since Barnes & Noble launched a Nook tablet, and there has been much speculation that the company has been discontinuing its tablets since then. Now, Barnes & Noble intends to prove that it has not completely given up on the category by launching a new 10-inch Nook tablet that it designed in collaboration with Lenovo. The Android device is powered by an octacore processor and has a 10.1-inch HD IPS screen that has apparently been certified to be kind to the eyes, diminishing blue light.
It also has 32 GB of storage with the option to expand with a microSD card and can last up to 10 hours of web browsing on a single charge. In addition, it has front and rear cameras, as well as dual Dolby Atmos audio speakers. As expected, he has access to the Nook app for e-books, newspapers and magazines, Google Play and Google Assistant. It also has Google FM radio and Kids Space, a new mode for Android tablets that provides children with access to age-appropriate books.
Tony Chen, Lenovo’s VP, said in a statement:
“As part of our mission to enable smarter technology for everyone, Lenovo has been innovating on a wide range of Android tablets over the past decade based on different user needs and budgets. We are excited to turn the page with Barnes & Noble on narrow and lightweight design of the new connected NOOK tablet that offers ebook lovers the best of both worlds – a complete Lenovo Android tablet, loved by fans, with everything you know and want about NOOK in your heart. “
Like the Nook tablet launched in 2018, the new model will cost $ 130. It will be available in early April in physical and online stores on the Barnes & Noble website.
