Gamers on the go may soon have a new option to consider. Lenovo has confirmed via their Weibo account that a refreshed version of the popular Legion Y700 gaming tablet is about to be unveiled.
The company hasn’t shared many details though—only a vague “coming soon” message. However, a recent Geekbench 5 listing, shared by reliable tech leaker Digital Chat Station, sheds some light on the potential hardware.
The listing reveals a Lenovo device, believed to be the Y700, equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC and 12GB of RAM. The device scored 2,209 points in single-core and 6,509 in multi-core tests. The new SoC should offer a major performance boost compared to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip on the previous model.
While the Geekbench listing offers a glimpse into the Y700’s processing power, details regarding other crucial aspects like display, storage options, and battery capacity are still shrouded in mystery.
The international launch strategy also remains unclear, though following the pattern set by its predecessor, a global release following the initial Chinese launch is a safe bet.
Considering the year is nearing its end, a launch window in the coming weeks or months for the Legion Y700 appears likely. This would position Lenovo strategically to capture the holiday shopping season, particularly appealing to mobile gamers seeking a powerful and portable device.
We will keep you updated on the tablet if anything new emerges, till then let’s go through the specs of its predecessor.
