Hello im planning to buy in your site..but can you confirm that y700 has bypass charging and pc mode??

[@amerol.inhinyeroPH]

I really like your channel. From philippines

[@UltraProduct]

This somehow doesnt work. Is there a renewed code?

[@vzx]

The big names (Samsung, Xiaomi) have been led astray by making top-end tablets bigger and bigger. Y700 is probably the only one that still has size under 9 inch while packing top-end SoC in it.

[@hasyidanparamananda]

I want like S21 or smaller size but still have same feature like s23 ultra... I don't really like big phone, same like Newest s9 and s8 ultra that's too big.

[@syahrome9394]

but still no sim

[@The-Heart-Will-Testify]

So true, iPad size is perfect for tablet, Samsung and other android companies that need to improve their tablets. It's slow and has no purpose

[@quchi7232]

Yeah but too bad they won't release a global version.

[@rlaw8658]

I hope they'll release a global version for this!! So many people want an alternative for ipad mini 6 that has on par specs with a lesser price tag.

[@GameC3nt]

#iwear brother hes looking less pricy gaming tablets and snapdragon is optimised for gaming and more longer battery life while iphone battery svcks and swell in the long term and expensive to replace not practical for them

[@rlaw8658]

@@iwearLingerie the y700 2023 version is a snapdragon 8+. that's optimized for gaming. plus the refresh rate of ipad mini 6 is only at 60hz while the y700 is 120hz. so that's already a no brainer for me.

[@rlaw8658]

@@iwearLingerie well too bad, samsung tablets are not that exceptional. they're just good for media consumption and work. The only good in Sammy is their s23 series. Sure, the mini 6 might be the best at handling heavy games, no doubt, but that high refresh and high touch sampling rate really makes a difference. Not being a "shill", just my two cents from my POV and experience.

[@rlaw8658]

@@iwearLingerie I'm not a hater of apple, btw. I like their products. If only they had a version of mini 6 (hopefully a mini 7) that has higher refresh rate, then my search is over for a mini tablet that is the best for gaming. I'll be just saving up then to get one.

[@GameC3nt]

@@iwearLingerie yes islam gonna win again🤣🤣😙

[@waltwright84]

I hope Lenovo releases this in the USA. It checks all the boxes for what I want in a tablet and there's really no competition in this space that I can find.

[@villardj]

I imported last year's version from Hong Kong. Yes, it's the Chinese version. But it has Google Play and does everything I need. There are maybe 3 or 4 Chinese apps that I just ignore. And it's by far faster than any other 8 inch tablet available in the USA.

[@waltwright84]

@@villardj Hm, you're really tempting me! As well as the usual stuff, one of my main use cases for this is a bit niche (emulation in portrait mode with a physical controller), but yeah I can hide or ignore the Chinese apps that can't be uninstalled. I'll probably agonize over it a couple more days and just order it. I mean, the only other contender might be a new Samsung Galaxy Tab, but even the smallest one is bigger than I want and starts at 800 bucks. Absurd.

[@MihaiTrica]

Finally, someone that actually got their hands on the tablet. KZbin is full with videos made out of photos.

[@minminli6248]

I have the 2022 Y700 and it is very nice for playing games and watching movies. The size is just right i can prop on table or hold it while in the sofa. I wish they have a sim or global version though.

[@thienchaiphetmadan2115]

I wished companies make some high end 8" Tablets with call functions, LTE or 5G and fingerprint scanner.

Can't wait for the global launch to make it to the US, definitely going to pick this up. Looking for a tablet for my gf, but I don't think she can wait. iPad mini for her, and this one for me later. Rocking the Lenovo tab p11 right now. Primarily got it for watching movies and yt at work, but it also works well with Xbox remote play. Doesn't handle fortnite mobile and team fight tactics well. So I can't wait for this to be an overall upgrade for my media entertainment consumption, and handle gaming if I want to.

Is this available for the US? I really want a small android powerful tablet. I had a tab S6 (none lite version) but to me 11 inches tablets are not comfortable for gaming.

[@alec5439]

This model and its predecessor both support Google Play Service , and Google Play Store is install-able from the 3rd-party APKPure app store. English is available in the system languages. I also bought the non-global version and consider it fine to use all non-China-exclusive features so far. And, in-app purchase on Google Play store also works fine on Lenovo's tablet (non-global version). No need to root the system, nor need to do special cracking. Most of AOSP features are supported at the Android system level that are not affected by highly customized ZUI. Are you looking for some features that are really not available in the non-global version? :)

[@SupaaManix]

Does it still suffer from missing GPS sensor & real time Notification like the 2022 model?

[@charlescalkins3485]

Wow no GPS no Cell service. They should have just made a laptop. What good is a tablet without these? I mean I like the tablet but what good is a tablet if it is not mobile?

how is it compare to the Ipad mini 6, in term of gaming and battery??

No, but there are two USB-C ports, you can use them instead, or you can convert it to 3.5mm.

Probably cause it's not going global.

[@TitaPopo]

Sold mine, the previous version, because Disney+ is black screen. I hope this one will make it play smooth. Also, I have sometimes trouble reinstalling Google play. Maybe because it's china version. But I have no problems with other china brand before with installing google. So I don't know what was wrong with it.

[@awesomeferret]

Ooof. What did you do to your tablet? Is that an Android 12 thing? I kept mine on 11, and Disney+ works perfectly. 🤷‍♂️ Mine is the China version too. Edit: yup, it's either your fault or the fault of a firmware update. Just checked and it works perfectly.

KZbin deleted my comment and therefore my time. Sorry, not going to write it again. Someone else can answer. The tldr was that OTA updates are subjective, and there are some legitimate reasons these days to intentionally stay on older versions of Android (so that your device can literally have more functionality at the cost of slightly less security... What a strange world).
