For its latest Nook device, Barnes & Noble partnered with Lenovo to create an Android tablet. Lenovo’s Nook 10-inch features Google Kids Space in particular.
Hardware-wise, it’s a fairly standard Android version – unspecified – tablet with a 10.1-inch HD IPS screen with ‘TÜV Rheinland-certified eye protection to help reduce harmful blue light’ and an 85% screen- to-body ratio that offers (in standing orientation) thin sides, but a thicker top / bottom.
There are cameras at the front and rear with a ‘full metallic color’ weighing 0.9 kilograms, as well as ‘dual sound speakers powered by Dolby Atmos.’ Inside, it’s powered by an octa – core 2.3 GHz processor with 32 GB of storage and expansion of the microSD card slot. The battery is rated for up to 10 hours on a single charge.
As for the software, the Nook app is pre-installed for books, magazines and newspapers. There’s also Kids Space, Google’s end-to-end family experience for Android tablets with a personal launcher. Its addition by Lenovo is especially sensible in light of who is likely to buy this tablet.
The Nook 10-inch HD tablet manufactured by Lenovo will start at $ 129.99 and will be available at Barnes & Noble in early April. The bookseller previously had a partnership with Samsung on tablets before hitting on its own. The last tablet was released in 2018, while also still selling e-readers.
