Following weeks of speculation, Lenovo has officially confirmed the launch date and some key specifications for its next-generation gaming tablet, the Legion Y700 (2024).
The tablet is launching on September 29 in China — this Sunday. It retains the familiar 8.8-inch LCD display with a 2560 x 1600 resolution, translating to a sharp 343 pixels per inch (PPI) experience.
The display boasts features like 500 nits peak brightness, full-zone DC dimming for smooth visuals, DCI-P3 color space, Rhine hardware low blue light certification for reduced eye strain during extended gaming sessions, and, most importantly, a speedy 165Hz refresh rate.
At the heart of the Legion Y700 will be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. Lenovo also confirmed that the new tablet will sport a sleek matte black finish and, more importantly, a large 10,004 mm-square vapor chamber (VC) cooling system.
The company claims this cooling solution is “bigger than a mobile phone screen.” With such a cooling setup, the tablet should offer a stable performance under intensive usage like gaming.
Apart from this, the company confirmed the tablet will feature the same camera setup as the 2023 counterpart. So we’re likely looking at a 13MP dual rear camera with an LED flash on the back and an 8MP front camera for selfies.
One of the highlights of last year’s Legion Y700 was its dual USB Type-C ports. Two ports let you charge the tablet and use headphones simultaneously and also enables bypass charging.
For those unaware, bypass charging allows a device to be powered directly by an external power source without using the battery.
This is especially useful during high-performance activities, like gaming, as it helps maintain optimal performance while preserving the battery’s lifespan and preventing overheating.
Last but not least, the tablet might also retain the same 6550mAh battery as last year’s model.
With the launch date just around the corner, we won’t have to wait long to discover the full suite of features offered by the new Lenovo Legion Y700.
