In February 2022, Lenovo debuted the Legion Y700 tablet in the Chinese market. The device is yet to make its way out of the Chinese market; however, it was recently spotted on the brand’s Indian website.

Now, the support page for the Lenovo Legion Y700 laptop has popped up on multiple Lenovo country sites, hinting at an imminent global launch. The device has so far appeared on regional sites including (but not limited to) Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, Colombia, Germany, Hong Kong, Korea, Peru, Slovakia, Singapore, and Spain. Just like the Indian site before, all of these websites are showing an incomplete product page.

Interestingly, these incomplete support pages have not appeared on Lenovo’s US, UK, and Australian sites. It is hard to say when the Legion Y700 tablets will debut globally. However, CES 2023, which will commence on January 5th might provide us with more answers. For now, let’s take a look at what makes this 8-inch tablet special.

Lenovo Legion Y700 specs

The Legion Y700 is an 8.8-inch tablet with an LCD screen that has a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, a refresh rate of 120 Hz, and a sampling rate of touch of 240 Hz. Additionally, 100% of the DCI P3 color gamut is supported. The tablet has superb build quality and a minimalistic appearance.

A Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 CPU is housed inside, along with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. A large 6,550mAh battery pack that enables 45W fast charging powers the device. Onboard, there is a specialized cooling system with an 8500mm2 vapor chamber. The Legion Y700 has a front-facing 8-megapixel selfie camera and a back-facing 13-megapixel camera with an LED light.

The tablet also has a separate switch for the resource monitoring window when in gaming mode, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a volume rocker, and a power button.

In February 2022, Lenovo debuted the Legion Y700 8-inch tablet in the Chinese market. The device is claimed by many to be the best Android tablet made this year, which was also our conclusion back when we reviewed it.

Although it is exclusively available in the Chinese market, where it lacks Google Play Services, there is hope that the tablet might make its global debut soon. Lenovo India has a page on its official website titled “Legion Y700 Series”. This page is categorized under “consumer notebook” and “Lenovo Legion”. The site is currently incomplete and the only thing currently visible is the product name and the partial background graphic. This could be an indication that Lenovo plans to launch the tablet in India, and in other markets as well.

Spec-wise, the Legion Y700 is an 8.8-inch tablet with an LCD display offering a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, 120Hz refresh rate, and 240Hz touch sampling rate. It also has support for 100% DCI P3 color gamut. The tablet features a minimalistic design with a premium build quality.

Under the hood, there is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chipset paired with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. It is powered by a large 6,550mAh battery pack that supports 45W fast charging. A dedicated cooling system is present onboard with an 8500mm² vapor chamber. The Legion Y700 includes an 8-megapixel selfie camera on the front and a 13-megapixel camera with an LED flash on the back.

Other than that, the tablet is fitted with a 3.5mm headphone jack, a volume rocker, a power button, and a dedicated switch for the resource monitoring window in gaming mode. The tablet made its debut with a starting price of 2,199 Yuan (US$348), So we can expect it to cost somewhere around ₹30,000 in India.

LENOVO LEGION Y700 Gaming tablet

It’s been a while since we reviewed a high-performance Android tablet. Actually, we were pretty surprised by last year’s flagship tablets, all thanks to their refreshed software, upgraded performance powered by snapdragon 870 chip, and a decent display. The one that impressed me most was the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro, also called the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021, with a competitive price but still featuring a 90Hz OLED display.

It’s actually happy to see that the brand didn’t stop there and recently released the Legion Y700 gaming tablet. Before I start with this review, let me just say this — It’s the best device with complete tablet features for mobile gaming.

Display

The gaming-oriented Legion lineup is popular in the gaming market. The Y700 is the series’ first tablet that focuses on the gaming experience. At first glance, the Y700 is as compact as an Android tablet. And it’s probably the first Android tablet coming with an 8.8-inch display, which is very close to the latest iPad Mini. However, even with the more compact body, the Y700 doesn’t really downgrade the display configurations.

It’s a 2K-level LCD panel featuring a 120Hz refresh rate and supports Dolby Vision and HDR contents with a maximum brightness of 500nits. Thanks to the 8.8-inch body size, the Y700’s display accuracy is much closer to a mobile phone. In actual use, it offers a decent visual experience, especially in reading or web viewing.

For the color mode, either you can apply the vibrant mode to cover wide P3 Gamut, or just choose the Standard mode for sRGB gamut with better color accuracy. Although the display supports Dolby Vision and HDR content, as an LCD panel, unfortunately, it only features a 1000:1 color contrast. So if you are thinking about having a tablet for watching a lot of videos, I still recommend you to go for the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021. The OLED display is still better at presenting deeper and more natural contrast.

Design

But don’t make the decision yet, because we haven’t even talked about what the Y700 tablet is really good at. As you can see, the 8.8-inch size makes the tablet look like a big smartphone. So you can hold it firmly with a single hand, which offers a big difference in user experience from those bigger tablets.

1 of 4

And compared to those 10 or 11-inch models, it’s so portable that you won’t always think about carrying a large backpack for it. And more importantly, the Y700 weighs only 375g, which allows you to grip it for a long time without feeling tired.

Well, the Y700 doesn’t use a one-piece-metal design for its body. Instead, the Y700’s back cover is replaced with a matte-finish glass panel. It still looks good, but also brings a concern: how are the tablet’s cooling efficiency and performance strategies? We will show you the answer in the gaming test part.

Apart from the decent display, the Y700 tablet also comes with dual JBL speakers and brings a pretty impressive stereo sound, especially when playing Dolby Atmos audio. In FPS games like PUBG Mobile requiring strong stereo sounds, it’s even good enough to play the game without using earphones.

Software & Hardware for gaming

To improve the gaming experience on the Y700, Legion borrows the gaming-related software from their gaming phones, and obviously, the software has got optimized well for the tablet. For example, now we can have the Legion Realm app to access all the gaming settings. And during gaming, you can pull down the game assistant from the top of the display and check the phone’s running state and the customized shortcuts.

And you can switch the performance mode from balanced mode to power-saving or performance mode depending on your needs.

But over the hardware, the Y700 doesn’t carry most of the Legion phones’ features, neither the shoulder buttons nor the built-in cooling fans. But the Y700 still gets the upgraded cooling solution and dual X-axis linear vibration motors. The strong haptic feedback does feel good when typing, but unfortunately, there are limited applications for the powerful motors so far. Although the Legion developed a feature called Semi-real vibration for an immersive gaming experience, we only saw three games in the supported list.

And there’s still good news left for the Y700 — it comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack and MicroSD card expansion. It surprisingly supports up to 1TB expanded storage. The full-featured USB Type-C port not only supports up to 45W fast charge but also supports seamless projection as a video-out port.

The Legion Y700 tablet is powered by the widely acclaimed Snapdragon 870 chipset. In addition to the 8+128GB model in my hand, there’s another higher configuration variant of 12+256GB storage.

Performance: durability & stability

About its performance, we are mainly concerned about its durability and stability of high-performance outputs. As you can see, in the three benchmarks, the peak performance we accessed is pretty close to what we have on other Snapdragon 870 models. Then we brought it to the Wildlife extreme stress test in 3DMark. The Y700 achieved 99.4% stability during the 20-round test. And the surface temperature remained under 43℃, which makes us look forward to its gaming stability even more.

1 of 3

In PUBG Mobile, it’s extremely smooth. The performance result is also at the best level that you can have in the game. After playing for a couple of hours, I can say that the Y700 tablet is the best device for gaming. It achieved a balance between the bigger display and the acceptable holding for me. I would be happy to have the Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021 to watch movies or videos, but to hold it for long-time gaming, it’s just difficult to tolerate the discomfort caused by the weight and size.

In another game Genshin Impact, the Y700 tablet also achieved one of the best results among all the Android models. It’s able to run stably at around 58 to 60fps with minor fluctuation, and the frame rate remained at 59.1 fps. During the 30-min test, no performance throttle occurred on the Y700 tablet and the surface temperature was still kept under 43.8℃. And note that Genshin Impact is one of the heaviest games on the Android platform, which means that the Y700 is very likely to handle most games well at this point, and can continuously run at high performance without serious heating issues.

Even so, we’re still not satisfied. We haven’t yet been exposed to its performance ceiling. So we started another test which is to run the game Nimian Legends under 2K resolution. In this test, the Snapdragon 870 has done the best it could, and eventually, the framerate remained at around 36fps. What surprised us is that its performance wasn’t affected by the temperature control throughout the test. There’s no obvious performance throttling either, although the surface temperature went up to 47℃ at one point.

Battery & charging

In terms of battery and charging, the Y700 is equipped with a 6550mAh battery that supports up to 45W fast charging, and it’s compatible with PD3.0 as well as QC4.0. And I have to show you the included 50W charger. It offers dual charging ports. The Type-C port could offer up to 50W charging efficiency, while the second one offers up to 20W, which makes it compatible with different devices. We all know that manufacturers are rarely this generous.

Coming back to the charging test. The tablet was charged to 40% in 15 minutes and 80% in 30 minutes, taking around 57 minutes to be fully charged. It’s still pretty fast for a tablet.

In addition, the Y700 also supports battery protection mode, where it would supply power directly to the tablet and no longer to the battery, which has the advantage of protecting the battery and reducing the overall heat of the tablet as well.

Verdict

Overall, the Legion Y700 is an excellent gaming tablet that offers a bigger display than a smartphone while having a much better-sustained performance output with a great cooling effect. More importantly, it offers a perfect size for mobile gaming.

In addition, the tablet also brings most software features that we’ve seen on other Lenovo tablets, such as split-screen mode, floating window, and even the PC mode. About these tablet features, you can check out our review video about the Xiaoxin Pad series.

So that’s all I want to say about the Y700 tablet. And the conclusion is still the same. It’s the best device for mobile gaming at this point.

If you play a lot of games on your phone but were never really satisfied, the Y700 could be the best alternative. With such competitive pricing, it won’t let you down.

Lenovo is gearing up to launch the Legion Y700 gaming tablet along with its upcoming gaming smartphone dubbed the Legion Y90. The company executives have teased the tablet extensively on social media sites. And now, we get our first official teaser for the device indicating an imminent launch.

According to an ITHome report, the new teaser poster reveals the battery capacity of the Legion Y700 Android gaming tablet to be 6550mAh which will come with 45W fast charging support. The large battery will enable gamers to run mainstream games for up to 6 hours continuously.

The teaser also mentions that the tablet will come with an 8.8-inch display which we have previously learned to have a 2560x1600p resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 240Hz touch sampling rate, and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut. The tablet has been revealed to feature a Snapdragon 870 SoC and will come with dual stereo speakers and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

It has a special ‘Ultra-Wide Viewing Mode’ for gamers who want more content on their screens while playing MOBA games. The feature works by changing the aspect ratio from the default 16:10 or 16:9 to 21:10 with the help of black bars at the top and the bottom. Users will also have an option to shift the content to the bottom of the display by leaving a huge black at the top.

Lenovo hasn’t announced the release date of the Legion Y700 tablet yet however, the official teaser suggests that we will soon hear more from the company regarding the release, so stay tuned.

Apart from the Legion Y90 gaming smartphone, Lenovo will be also releasing the Legion Y700 gaming tablet. Although the company hasn’t announced the launch date for these products, it has been teasing their features for a very long time. The latest teaser for the tablet reveals a unique screen mode for games and chipset.

Lenovo product manager Lin Lin published a blog post on Weibo on January 5. His article confirms that the upcoming Lenovo Legion Y700 gaming tablet will arrive with an ‘Ultra-Wide Viewing Mode’.

In his post, the executive says that most tablets either come with a 16:10 or a 16:9 aspect ratio display and so does the Legion Y700. Because of this, games cannot display much content on the screen.

To fix this, the Lenovo gaming tablet will ship with a feature called Ultra-Wide Viewing Mode. As the name suggests, by enabling this mode, users will get more screen content in select MOBA games like Honor of Kings and League of Legends.

The tablet does this by changing the aspect ratio to 21:10  with the help of black bars at the top and the bottom. Users will also have an option to shift the content to the bottom of the display by leaving a huge black at the top.

At the same time, the exec also disclosed that the tablet will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chipset in a reply to a comment.

According to previous reports, the Lenovo Legion Y700 gaming tablet will be slightly larger than the Apple iPad mini 6th Generation. It will have dual stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and an 8.8-inch display with a resolution of 2560 × 1600 pixels, 120Hz refresh rate, 240Hz touch sampling rate, and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut.

We expect to learn more about the forthcoming Lenovo Legion tablet and smartphone in the coming days ahead of their official launch.

The images reveal that the 8.8-inch Lenovo Legion Y700 tablet is almost equal to the Apple iPad mini 2021 when it comes to height (landscape) and is a a lot wider that the mini offering by Apple. The device is also noticeably thicker when compared to the iPad mini. Additionally, the images reveal that the device has two speaker grills, one located on the bottom while other on top. The USB-C port is present on the bottom of the device while the 3.5mm audio jack in the center at the top.

Many people have questioned this design choice by Lenovo as the positioning of the 3.5mm headphone jack might be a hinderance when plugged in while gaming.

The device was previously remored to be powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset but new rumors have hinted at the device housing a Snapdragon 888 SoC while the SD 8 Gen 1 can come with a higher tier (rumored) Legion Y900 Gaming Tablet. As of yet, there is no word from Lenovo on an official launch date of the Legion Y700 Gaming Tablet so stay tuned for more updates.
