    But do any of you think that the Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab would be a good tablet for Sonos?
    Well, it depends on your definition of 'good'. It's a 10.1” FHD Android tablet running Oreo. The Sonos controller should just work.

      I think from the various comments above we've established ANY relatively new Android tablet would be good for Sonos. The interface is the same on all of them. It is then a question of your personal preference on screen size and other things you will be using it for, that will determine what to get. The Sonos app will work the same way on all of them.

      If it is to be used as a Sonos controller ONLY then there are ways to make it boot into Sonos exclusively. Can't find the thread at the moment.

        Not entirely. In landscape, with the queue displayed, some will stack the playback controls under the artwork whereas others overlay the controls onto the lower half of the art. It depends on size, resolution and aspect ratio. But this is to nit-pick. On a 10.1" tablet it'll be fine.

        Pinning the app is usually the easiest method.

          I have just bought the Lenovo yoga smart tab 10,1 tablet, and i like it so far.

          But i see when i use the Sonos app in landscape mode it's so small everything, a lot of unused place on the screen?
          See picture below:



          But in portrait mode it fill the entire screen.
          See picture below:



          Are there some solution to this?
          I am using Sonos version 10.4.1
          Is the beta version better?

          Thanks for all help!
