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.
