The Legion Y700 Infinite is teased for a China launch in August 2026, and it builds on the already solid Y700 Gen 5 by adding some meaningful upgrades that could make it a lot more versatile for gamers and power users on the move.

According to Weibo tipster Digital Char Station, the big upgrades include an 8-inch OLED display with a centered punch-hole selfie camera. That’s a nice step up from the standard IPS LCD on the regular Y700 Gen 5.

Even more exciting is the addition of 5G cellular connectivity, a first for the Legion Y700 series. It’ll support dual-SIM standby (physical SIM + eSIM), the fast N79 5G band, and a smart multi-antenna setup for reliable signal no matter how you hold it. This turns the tablet from a Wi-Fi-only device into a true go-anywhere machine, perfect for cloud gaming and streaming on the go.

Under the hood, it’s expected to run an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset with CPU speeds peaking at up to 4.74 GHz. Memory and storage options look generous too: 12GB/256GB, 16GB/512GB, 24GB/512GB, and a top-tier 24GB/1TB version. There’s also talk of a 50MP rear camera and cool RGB lighting on the back to match that gaming vibe.

At around 310g, the Infinite is about 50g lighter than the standard Legion Y700 Gen 5 (known globally as the Legion Tab Gen 5). That slimmer, lighter feel, paired with the OLED screen and 5G, should make it noticeably more portable while keeping the strong performance and cooling the series is known for.

The regular Y700 Gen 5, which launched earlier this year, impressed with its 8.8-inch 165Hz display, huge 9,000mAh battery, and top-tier performance. The Infinite variant seems designed to fix some of its main limitations, especially the lack of cellular connectivity and the display tech. These upgrades would help it better compete with devices like the Red Magic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro, sold globally as the Red Magic Astra 2. Global availability is still unclear, but it would be great to see it reach more markets.
