World’s First 5G PC coming exclusively on EE

Lenovo Yoga 5G will be an EE exclusive

Lenovo unveiled the Lenovo Yoga 5G, the world’s first 5G PC, back in January of this year. This 5G PC will be available later this year exclusively on a range of EE pay monthly price plans.

Supporting both millimeter wave full-band and sub-6GHz 5G networks, this ground-breaking device is capable of satisfying your need for speed with ultra-fast connectivity, reduced latency, and wider bandwidth.

To make the Yoga 5G laptop possible, Lenovo engineers and designers had to overcome a number of practical challenges in housing this new technology in a thin, light and convertible 2-in-1 form factor. This involved shrinking the 5G antennas to fit into a slim chassis while enabling and maintaining 5G coverage regardless of how a user flips and folds the device into its laptop or tablet mode.

The Lenovo team ultimately achieved this by innovating and patenting a new 5G antenna system—what became the industry’s smallest 5G module, a design that allowed for 5G coverage in both laptop or tablet modes.

Johnson Jia, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Consumer Business Segment in Lenovo’s Intelligent Devices Group said:

“Lenovo introduced the world’s first 5G laptop to equip the mobile generation with smarter technology for always-on connectivity and computing. The hardware is just the first step,”

“With our strategic partnerships with 5G network carriers such as EE, consumers will now be able to access easier, faster and more secure connectivity seamlessly. As 5G computing holds the power to transform user experiences, we believe it can ultimately disrupt the PC industry for the better.”

Enrico Salvatori SVP & Pres, Qualcomm Europe/MEA said:

“This collaboration with Lenovo and EE will deliver transformative PC user experiences for consumers thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx 5G compute platform’s performance and power efficiency, combined with the high speed, low-latency connectivity made possible by 5G from EE”

First previewed at COMPUTEX as Project Limitless, this ultra-portable 2-in-1 laptop is the first-ever PC powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx 5G Compute Platform, bringing you high-speed 5G network connectivity that’s up to 10 times faster than 4G through a 5G service provider when on the move and reliable WiFi access at home.

Need to edit video footage in real-time on set and then upload the finished film? Or how about faster screen refreshes for smoother mobile gaming? Or downloading a movie before a trip? It’s all possible with lightning-fast download speeds of around 4Gb/s3 supported by nine built-in antennas for a stronger signal.

At 2.86lbs (1.3kg), the Yoga 5G is effortlessly portable. Mobile multi-taskers and digital natives will enjoy the mobility of a smartphone without a WiFi connection or a hotspot as they fly through tasks thanks to the familiarity of their PC’s productivity features.

Once you log in with a hands-free infrared (IR) camera or integrated fingerprint reader, you’re good to go for up to 24 hours (a full day!) of battery life.

The 14-inch Full HD IPS touch display offers 400 nits brightness with narrow bezels on all sides, enabling expansive views of all your favorite streaming shows which you’ll enjoy in stunning clarity from anywhere.

Powerful Qualcomm Adreno 680 graphics and user-facing stereo speakers powered by Dolby Atmos complete your entertainment experience. Offering twice the performance of the previous generation compute platform, the Snapdragon 8cx 5G Compute Platform lets you create, edit and multitask on the Yoga 5G at a fraction of the power consumption.

Paired with a digital pen and Windows 10, the Yoga 5G is designed to supercharge your productivity. Additionally, the Yoga 5G’s software-enabled intelligent temperature control feature adjusts performance depending on your activities, keeping your laptop cool and eliminating the need for a noisy fan.

Marc Allera, CEO, BT Consumer division said:

“Our customers already enjoy the UK’s best mobile experience, and as leaders in 5G, those with the Lenovo Yoga 5G on EE will be able to make the most from our super-fast, high capacity network. As Lenovo’s exclusive partner in the UK, we will help customers get to grips with what this innovative PC has to offer on the go, whether that’s for work, online gaming, or watching the latest HD movies”.
