To make it very easy to compare the Lenovo Miix2 with the Toshiba Encore, we have included in this article an image to make it easier for our readers, thanks to the comparison system made by PhoneArena. We have highlighted with green the specs that are the “winning” ones. The image doesn’t contain all the details, so we’re discussing about the rest in the bullet-ed list from below.
Lenovo Miix2 vs Toshiba Encore
We can see that the Lenovo Miix is thinner and lighter than the Toshiba Encore, measuring 0.31 inches and weighing 11.2 ounces (0.317 kg) compared to 0.43 inches and 1.1 pounds (0.5 kg). So, it is lighter by 189 grams and thinner by 0.12 inches. Another important advantage for the Lenovo Miix 2 is the price, as it currently retails for $299, which is thirty dollars less than Toshiba Encore’s price of $329.
Toshiba isn’t winning in the camera field, as it did with the Asus T100, as both tablets sport a high-resolution from 8MP camera with a 2MP HD webcam for video calls and chats. Besides these big differences mentioned above, the tablets are basically the same. So, as it stands now, it’s obvious that Lenovo‘s Miix2 is the winner here.
