Lenovo Legion Y700 gaming tablet teased in hands-on video promo, showcasing the beloved compact form factor
Lenovo appears to be ready to shake up the gaming tablet scene once again with its highly awaited 2024 refresh of the fan-favorite Legion Y700 gaming tablet. The device has been teased several times by Lenovo's official Weibo handle, with the recent round of teasers shedding light on a few additional aspects of the device.
The Legion Y700, which is set to rock a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, has been touted to feature a 'restructured' internal layout, with the SoC being placed somewhere near the upper middle of the device. According to Lenovo, this has been done to reduce temperatures in the critical regions of the device where it is to be held when gaming in landscape mode, by as much as 4.3 degrees Celsius.
The Legion Y700 also made a full cameo in Lenovo's recent promo video, flaunting itself in all its gaming glory. As expected, the 8.8-inch tablet allows for a compact form factor that has been widely appreciated by gamers. The video features the gaming tablet in its matte black colorway, being used for both gaming, as well as other kinds of content consumption while being on-the-go.
Other specifications of the Legion Y700 include a 165 Hz IPS display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600, DCI-P3 coverage, and a maximum brightness of 500 nits. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC will likely be paired with up to 12 GB of memory, as hinted by a recent Geekbench leak.
With the Legion Y700 gaming tablet's official launch date being just around the corner, there's hardly any cause for fans to stew in anticipation for long. However, those in the US and elsewhere might have to wait a little longer, but there is no reason not to expect a global launch soon after.
