PHP threats, Binance hacks, attacks on municipalities, companies and public institutions: the security situation on the Internet is becoming increasingly difficult to manage.
Above all, device manufacturers should therefore strive to provide updates for their smartphones and tablets for a long time – after all, customers depend on them to keep their devices safe even after several years.
Lenovo has been behind in this regard for a long time. But now the manufacturer seems to have realized that, especially for a premium tablet like the Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 (currently available for US$799 on lenovo.com), long update periods are not optional, but something that many customers absolutely need.
Security is a must, even for Lenovo
The EU has also already taken action, requiring manufacturers to provide updates for their devices for at least five years after the end of sales. However, some have not yet complied and apparently prefer to wait and see if anyone will take action. Lenovo initially interpreted the directive somewhat pedantically as meaning that only updates had to be available, but they absolutely did not have to be fully updated.
Now the manufacturer seems to have finally seen reason, as the new Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 comes with a very good promise of seven years of updates from launch, meaning it should receive patches until early 2033. It is also set to receive new Android versions up to version 24, bringing new features to your premium tablet.
The Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 is finally very good
This is good news for anyone looking for a new premium tablet beyond dominant competitors Apple and Samsung, as it means the Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 can be used safely for many years.
With plenty of power and a long-lasting battery, this should be possible without any problems.

I initially wrote about gaming laptops when I joined Notebookcheck in 2009. I later took on the creation of the Notebookinfo comparison portal and worked with social media concepts for large companies such as BMW and Adidas, while I also returned to work for Notebookcheck in 2012. Today I focus on smartphones, tablets and future technologies. Since 2018, I have been the editor-in-chief for mobile device reviews, alongside my colleague Daniel Schmidt.
