Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 4: Upcoming gaming tablet gets RAM and storage boosts

Lenovo is gearing up to fully unveil its new gaming tablet in China on May 8, 2025, the Y700 4th generation. The device is expected to make its way to the global market as the Legion Tab Gen 4, and with recent teasers, the company has already confirmed a lot of the core aspects of the device.

That includes the return of the SD card slot, an improved display than the predecessor, and a larger battery. Now, the company has confirmed that the RAM and storage will also see upgrades. To be specific, the Legion Tab Gen 4 will come with UFS 4.1 storage and LPDDR5X "Ultra" RAM. Lenovo didn't share proper details about the "Ultra" tag on the memory. It could very well be a marketing term, or it could just be a slightly overclocked variant of the regular LPPDR5X RAM with a transfer rate higher than 8533 MT/s.

Nonetheless, the Legion Tab Gen 3 (curr. $489.99 on Lenovo), in comparison, comes with "non-Ultra" LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.0 storage. Lenovo claims that these two upgrades will make the new gaming tablet offer 2x better performance than the 2nd generation pad and around 0.36x boost over the last-gen device and the iPad mini 7.

On that note, the Lenovo Y700 4th generation tablet has already been confirmed to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the current flagship SoC from Qualcomm. It will be paired with a 12,000 mm² VC cooling setup, which promises stable performance under heavy loads.

There's still no word on the price yet, but the last-gen Lenovo gaming tablet launched in China with a starting price of CNY 2,899, about $400. The Tab Gen 4, on the other hand, is expected to launch with a price tag of around CNY 3,500, about $480. More details could be confirmed before the launch.
