EE says Lenovo’s new Yoga 5G convertible laptop will be launched exclusively on its mobile network in the UK.

The Lenovo Yoga 5G (known in some markets as the Lenovo Flex 5G) is described by its manufacturer as the world’s first 5G PC. It has a 14-inch touch display and runs Windows 10. A battery life of up to 24 hours is promised, thanks to Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8cx 5G Compute Platform.

5G connectivity is currently available from EE in 80 towns and cities across the UK.

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.”

Marc Allera, CEO of BT’s Consumer division - the parent company of EE - 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”.

The Lenovo Yoga 5G laptop will be available later this year on EE pay monthly price plans. These prices haven't been confirmed; SIM-free pricing in North America is expected to be from $1,499 (around £1,200).

No prizes for guessing which two mobile tech stories grabbed most of the headlines last week. Tuesday morning saw Nokia’s much-rumoured tablet and phablet launches, with a Windows RT device and two 6-inch smartphones joining the company’s product portfolio.

Anton Faulconbridge writes:

It’s the latest tech update that everyone is talking about; for good or for bad, iOS7 is here and it’s something that all mobile app developers need to take into consideration. So, how have these changes to Apple’s system had an impact on third party apps?

ExclusiveIt’s not your fault, so why wait for your mobile phone?

David Heled writes:

The dependency on mobile phones is at an all-time high. Used for everything from the weekly grocery shop to monitoring heart rate, it’s no underestimation to say that we would be lost without our mobile phones. So when it takes days for your phone to be repaired, it has a considerable impact on your normal daily life.

ExclusiveHow ring-back tones could transform the way we use our mobile phones

Mark Bridge writes:

Ring-back tones offer consumers yet another way to customise their mobile phone service. Yet despite this – and the revenue opportunities they provide – many mobile network operators don’t offer them.

Recently I spoke to Florent Stroppa, General Manager Europe for value-added service specialist OnMobile, to find out why the UK doesn’t really seem to be bothered about ring-back tones… and whether the next-generation of ring-back services will change this.

Talk about a difference. In preliminary results last week, HTC announced its first-ever quarterly loss while Samsung revealed record quarterly profits.

Curiously, many of the week’s other news stories also had a companion headline to provide a contrast.
