Lenovo Y700 Tablet Review - A Hidden Gem with a TON of Power

[@Epic.Tsunami]

I have this tablet for a long time, not only im happy more people are getting into it, but i can definitely confirm this is an excellent tablet!

[@corpingtons]

I have it and it’s so good

[@MizoTVWrestling]

what about battery ??

[@Epic.Tsunami]

@@MizoTVWrestling i can easily have a full day on it, i would say the battery is around 8-9 hours while using (not intensively), which is very good

[@SYa6666]

Does it support widevine l1

[@crystal_is_cozy]

(Also thank you for my cameo!! Seeing my video on that amazing screen tickled me so much ❤)

[@daviddamasceno6063]

It is a shame that this tablet is so hard to find. I'm so in love with it. Hope it becomes available in my country soon.

[@reyenl4314]

A specially that it is a 8.8 inch display only it and the iPad mini has 8 inch displays.

[@NCXitlali]

I just got the 16gb ram one for 300 on aliexpress

[@reyenl4314]

@@NCXitlali did you get the global rom or the Chinese rom ? And how is tablet so far with you?

[@NCXitlali]

@@reyenl4314 I got the Chinese ROM I haven't tested it yet because it hasn't arrived

[@corpingtons]

It’s on AliExpress I love the tablet so good

[@Tutimba]

The best review about this tablet so far. You did an amazing job. Thank you.

[@NeoSpartan117]

This tablet is great once you get it flashed and setup. It is wonderful for travel as it doubles as a tablet/media player and a emulation monster. Although there is some jank with it (have to jump start it and do a small mod), the GameSir G8 feels great with this tablet.

[@corpingtons]

You don’t need to flash it the Chinese rom is great anyway

[@corpingtons]

Have you flashed yours and how different is it from global rom

[@duster4441001]

@@corpingtons when buying global rom like i do because its cheap, didn't expect there missing pc mode and performance mode when gaming until reading from XDA and like update using software from xda. good thing the version were old version and they said it consider as fake global if we see the version when purchasing. at least i though it was hard to do it because like what the heck is this software until manage some instruction saying they change the name lol. at least not after update from i think it was 14 or 15? into version 16, and yeah finally there pc mode and performance after update it. didn't know the connect wire also follow from what on the screen, i though can connect anywhere🤣

[@Jorven-w1z]

I bought it a few weeks ago, not for gaming. It’s awesome.definitely premium. The screen is the highlight-very sharp, vibrant, and 144Hz. The screen quality easily puts the likes of the Samsung S9 FE and the standard iPad 10 to shame.

[@AishTalksTech]

This thing is nice! But I dont need it, I dont need it I DONT NEED IT!!!...

[@solson223]

I just ordered the Y700 2025 version. Hopefully it won't take a month to get here but I'm anxiously awaiting. I also ordered the Memo S3 'Athletic Stretch" controller (around $35 with coupons). We'll see how it goes.

[@tostibrand1273]

This is now available here in Europe. No need to import

[@zodiacfml]

I want this so much...that I want this be as a phone upgrade but this does not have SIM support. I hope Lenovo update the tablet with cellular for not much more money.

[@NM-jo3fi]

Does the controller cover the audio grills/speakers? Does the audio degrade? That's my only concern if using attachment controllers

[@codylester9081]

I just ordered this using coupons for $240 before taxes. I’m very excited about it

[@sinautical]

What coupons? 😊

[@CragScrambler]

The new 2024 version is out soon with snapdragon 8 gen 3, will be a little more expensive though.

[@EARTHLING1977]

Yes, so the 2023 version is very cheap now. I think they are clearing the stock. I just ordered mine today​@CragScrambler

[@paulkdrozd]

Don't buy the version with 1 rear camera or less than 16gb ram

[@JACKROBERTO-rd4gi]

bruhh where did u buy?

[@vms_kt]

Can this be used a second monitor? In your clip regarding the desktop mode, may I know if the tab is mimicking the laptop?

[@JB-tp6uj]

This is why I wish I would have kept this tablet. It really is the definition of a hidden gem that few people know about. I became impatient because there wasn't a good controller at the time for it. Now, the Kishi Ultra looks like the perfect fit for it. Sigh.

[@Tech875O]

Time to buy another one!!! =D

[@memphis86]

Can you make a tutorial for the international rom installation?

[@kenysc]

Gamsir G8+ makes mine a monster

[@cho-v4n]

Great review. Also a very tempting option if I ever get a tablet. Thanks! Bandit shows that sign who's boss! 🤣

[@wasu2.0]

Watching from my y700 2023 😂

[@Mansfels]

Is it possible to use razer kishi ultra with y700 turned vertically? Would be really cool for arcade games (shmups etc.)

[@TeamRetrogue]

Yes! Its amazing!

[@Mansfels]

@@TeamRetrogue Awesome! thank you for reply. Now I found the ultimate handheld for shmups :)

[@SupaaManix]

Had the 1st one with a SD870: does it still suffer from not having google service? Meaning that no live notification for email or else. Also the OS prevented real multi app, only 1 app was in memory.

[@lllSDKlll]

Waiting for the new version with the Qualcomm 8 Elite chip! 🤞

[@fjdkfdfjdf33]

Did you get the android 14 update? How about security updates?

[@tsesme]

I asked Lenovo Greece and they told me that 30th July it will be available for updating.

[@tsesme]

Security updates until 02/2028

[@Rr-j4x]

so did it get android 14?

[@tsesme]

@@Rr-j4x yes, it did.

[@tsesme]

@@fjdkfdfjdf33 yes, it did.

[@xChuckNasty88x]

Is the 2024 model worth an upgrade or would this last for another 3-5 years?

[@netnomad47]

I was going to get this device but the lcd screen instead of oled turned me away from it and so i got the Tab S9 instead

[@LeonardoBarbosa-qw6fp]

We need something oled with the size of this legion one!

[@Jan123.]

Does it have stylus / pen support? Thanks

[@mikailaqeel7657]

Which one is better xaomi pad 6 pro or lenovo legion y700?

[@kanbei0412]

If you want bigger screen go for 6 pro. But if you want gaming on the go with the same spec go for y700. Camera wise it's a clear win for 6 pro.

[@corpingtons]

Y700 is better

[@corpingtons]

@@kanbei0412the y700 camera is not good and I wouldn’t even get it for the camera gaming and editing alone is amazing and desktop mode

[@kanbei0412]

@@corpingtons its not good but i use it on meet and its quite good not very dark even light is ample. Being portable and optimized for gaming is the strong point

Where did you order?? And are you able to install play store?

[@Rr-j4x]

got v2 switch and legion go. so which should i get? oled switch or lenovo y700 2023? thanks

[@wilsont1010]

What happens if you don't flash it with the international rom, there will be no google services?

[@jakesmith5278]

I saw Russ reviewed this little monster about a year ago. I love it but already have a Samsung Tab S8, so it's kind of hard to justified it.

[@Rr-j4x]

how much update did it get since release? what android does it have now 14 or 15?

[@madgamer645]

Comes with Android 13, planned upgrade to Android 15 and security updates till 2028.

[@Buu__uuB]

Can it run FF7 Dirge of Cerberus well?

[@Kyozxc]

what emulator did you use

[@oracle331]

Did the G8+++ end up being the GameSir G8 Galileo Mobile Controller?

[@corpingtons]

I don’t think it is

[@nickodaren]

I own y700 2022 version still capable and able to play genshin impact without an issue

[@thedoctorstan]

I’m waiting for the 3rd gen to come out. 1st gen came out 2022, 2nd gen came out 2023. So far, no news of release date for 3rd gen in China…

[@Tech875O]

3rd gen has been released with the snapdragon 8 gen 3, but it's lacking the microSD slot. I'm undecided on which model I'm going to buy.

[@thedoctorstan]

@ I just checked online, 3rd gen did retain the two USB-C ports, however, they didn’t have the micro-sd unlike gen1. For this screen size, two options have on the market is this, and ipad mini 7…

“If you don’t like money,” lol.

[@Veddy74]

Hey, so I found one of these, I got it on Aliexpress. The one I got only has the bottom USB C. Is there a better OS option? This one is clunky.

Can it run wuthering waves?

[@TheBeltegrades]

Yes at medium graphics i can get arround 50-58 fps but be careful not to overheat it. Using fan cooler is recommended

[@magis123]

Honestly right now, for the sale prices of the newest iPad Mini - it's just a better overall device than this especially if you are already tethered to the Apple Ecosystem. Now if Apple releases an M2/M3 iPad Mini; that seriously could change the game.

[@Tech875O]

Hey, I'm in the market for a small form factor tablet like this lenovo or an ipad mini. Where's the best place to purchase an ipad mini, and what would you consider a good price?
