Last month, Lenovo unveiled the Legion
Y700 2023 gaming tablet in China. As the name suggests, it is the successor of
the original Legion Y700 from 2022. The
new model comes with minute yet meaningful upgrades over the old one. The
latest tablet is also a bit cheaper than the outgoing product offering more RAM
and storage. Weeks after its official announcement, the device is now finally
on sale in China.
The Lenovo Legion Y700 2023 gaming tablet
retails at the following price tags.
- 12GB + 256GB – ¥ 2,399 (US$ 330)
- 12GB + 512GB – ¥ 2,599 (US$ 360)
- 16GB + 512GB – ¥ 2,799 (US$ 390)
At these prices, the product is way more
affordable than its nearest competitor, the Red Magic Gaming Tablet. It also
has a smaller form factor, which is suitable for handheld gaming. Since the
original Legion Y700 did not make its way to the global markets, we have less
hope for its successor. Thus, consumers outside China don’t have any options in
the gaming tablet category.
Talking about specs, the Lenovo Legion
Y700 2023 is built around an 8.8-inch display (LCD) with a resolution of 2560 x
1600 pixels, 343 PPI, 144Hz refresh rate, and 500 nits peak brightness. It is
powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset paired with LPDDR5 RAM
and UFS 3.1 storage.
The tablet draws energy from a 6,500mAh
battery. It supports 45W fast charging and bypass charging. It comes with dual
stereo speakers, dual USB Type-C ports (one of them even supports video out), a
13MP rear camera, an 8MP front-facing camera, and a MicroSD card slot. Last but
not least, the device measures 7.6mm in thickness and weighs 348g.
