8" Gaming Tablet: Lenovo Legion Y700 2023 Unboxing

[@holyscience3763]

THEY NEED TO MAKE THIS ACCESSIBLE TO THE GLOBAL MARKETS WITH 4G/5G CELLULAR CONNECTIVITY AND GPS AND GOOGLE PLAY STORE, TOO MANY ISSUES WITH FOLDING PHONES BECAUSE OF HINGE! THERE IS NO COMPETITION FOR THE IPAD MINI 6!!! WHY ISN'T ANYONE MAKING HIGH-END GAMING 8-INCH PHABLETS?? HUGE MARKET FOR THIS!

[@void911]

YESS SOMEBODY PLEASE MAKE THIS WITH CELLULAR . I WOULD BUY THAT IN A HEARTBEAT

[@superacionymas44]

Is not gonna happen.....Lenovo is killing this factor already,they released the 2024 versions and they removed the SD card slot already

[@wiIdcattm]

Picked this up several weeks ago. As an owner of an iPad Pro, and Tab S9+, this device is a beast. Very, very happy with this device.

[@chrissanandres2488]

Yeah, the best android gaming tablet so far for gamers...

[@toprocky81]

How about system update ? How long they can be

[@aircreed]

I'm trying to decide between this because of the smaller size or the new s9 because it's new and isn't made just for China. Still not sure which direction I will go

[@jarod3371]

​@toprocky81 it has had several updates already. Not sure if we will get Android 14 but time will tell. I love mine. Stylus works great!

[@jarod3371]

​@@aircreedS9 will be better supported for sure, and although stylus is great, SPen still is better and more options for 3rd party stylus. I have this tablet and the S9+.

[@kevindsmith10000]

If Lenovo actually updated their products, I would buy this. Beastly android tablet without the galaxy tab price.

[@arunantony3207]

how bad is the update ?

[@kevindsmith10000]

@@arunantony3207 Lenovo is an unstated policy. Better to build new products and force the consumer to buy them than support the ones they already made. If you read on the forums most of their ANDROID products are basically released and forgotten. I've been looking at Moto phones as a spare for my Z Fold and they are great out the gate but a year later they're still stuck on the same OS version with barely any security updates. This is easily the most powerful small form factor Android tablet and would sell like crazy if Lenovo had a reputation for support.

[@arefuu6682]

i already got 1st gen , loving it . running any game with high graphics without problem. gonna wait for 3rd or 4th generation for upgrade.

[@othinus]

Not having a sim card makes this ultra portable tablet a hard sell in my opinion.

[@naapsulusmurmurusmurmurus2392]

its stupid that it dosent have sim card slot

[@toprocky81]

I love 8 inch tablet it very easy to take it everywhere, it hard to find a good one..i had ipad mini6 but i cant stand with screens problems..hope they will make more in this size with hight spec

[@dbjungle]

Glad to see you covering this one. There is another 8" 120Hz tablet... The Lenovo Legion Y700 (2022) which is still on sale and quite discounted at importers now. I have the 2022 version, the iPad Mini 6, the Realme Pad Mini and 2x the ALLDOCUBE iPlay 50 mini Pro. IMO the Y700 2022 spanks the iPad Mini 6 in all aspects of user experience except updates and MacOS integrations. But even then, Apple couldn't be bothered to bring Stage Manager to the then less than a year old $500 iPad Mini 6. Stage Manager is bad, but it is better than the default iOS multitasking experience. Supposedly, the M1 was required, but then Apple brought it to the old A12z iPad Pros, so clearly the intention was just to pay wall it. The Y700 is great, but the ALLDOCUBE iPlay 50 mini Pro is actually the device I needed to exist when I first bought my iPad Mini 6 in 2021. It's very affordable, has a stock Android UI and has enough performance for general use and casual gaming. Ideally I just want to see an 8" Pixel tablet or even better would be an 8" ChromeOS tablet. I will probably still buy the Y700 2023 at some point, but it will be very delayed since I like my new cheap iPlay 50 mini Pros. Cheers! P.S. the Realme Pad Mini is by far the worst of the bunch. It's slow and with a 800P screen it struggles to even fill the role of a media consumption device.

[@jarod3371]

Aldocube mini pro is nice but speakers weak and no active stylus support

[@dbjungle]

@@jarod3371 All true. Also coming in well below $200. Average price seems to be around $160.

[@AnG-P]

Do you know if the iplay 50 mini Support stylus? With palm rejection?

[@dbjungle]

@@AnG-P I don't think it supports an active stylus at all.

[@urbano.urbano]

I'm really curious, have you tried comparing the graphics of the Y700 and pubg mobile ingame graphics? I know ipad have a better ingame image quality even on lowest settings, I own an ipad pro 11 but it actually feels pretty heavy while gaming with gyroscope. Now I'm torn between the Y700 and ipad mini 6 but the Y700 2023 really catches my attention

[@MavZc]

They need to bring back the 7inch sized tablets that have powerful specs on them.

[@Painang89]

its a great tablet sure but i worried that lenovo side no give OS update later down the line ..

[@MyNextTablet]

Yes that's a valid concern and I don't expect many updates

[@AdityaChawla-wy5kx]

Which stylus would be the best for this which magnetically charges with it , same for keyboard

[@lhionexstudio1080]

Please review the pen 🙏 I have never seen anyone review the pen better in it, since it is a gaming tablet i wonder how it affects the pen and drawing performance in it.

[@jamaguilera2300]

I have this and compatible Precision Pen 2 (LP-151) and it works great close to samsung tab pens. - Lines wobble a bit for super slow strokes (also depends on the app) but for sketches and general illustrations it gets the job done. - Pressure and Tilt sensitivity are good - Has this feature to show a small dot when you hover the pen on the screen like samsung pens - Haven't failed to write/draw even after days of not using unlike other pens from other android tablets - Does not need bluetooth connection - And if you have Microsoft Surface devices you are in luck because this pen is compatible. Hope this helps. Cheers

[@agentjot]

Lenovo!!!!! Bring that tab to Europe!!!!! 😢

[@awesomeferret]

Can you remove the navigation pill at the bottom? I can't stand that thing telling me what I already know. I love how the 2022 version hides it. Can it be disabled? Please cover this in your review. It would only take a few seconds, heck, it could be as easy as filming a few shots in your review with the pill disabled at the home screen.

[@GermainStaquet]

Watching and writing from the first gen Y700. Also imported from China. I love mine. Nice to see Lenovo continuing this path. I wonder what improvements they made to PC Mode. Especially when connected to large 4k displays.if you could test that and share 😃

[@wassercusko3407]

I wouldnt keep my hopes high, with lenovo you get what you get PERIOD

[@LazyPCRehab]

I have the 2022 version as well and love it. I'm passing on this year's model, mainly because I don't want to give up the battery life.

[@1030eev]

It has a PC mode

[@instinctclassic]

How is the battery life?

[@LazyPCRehab]

@@instinctclassic Battery life it great, especially if you use the battery saver mode.

[@joelconolly5574]

Probably the best sub 9 inch tablets from the Android space. Competing nicely with the iPad mini 6. I guess the only downside is the lack of LTE but it's better compatibility with all the connectivity since it's just WiFi. Otherwise, great tablet.

[@LucienSabre]

Competing but not surpassing *_imo_* - in addition to being available directly in EU, USA and everywhere else with the subsequent official warranty and support advantages (which this Lenovo Legion Tab lacks completely being imported directly from China), the iPad Mini 6 has full 5G-compatible LTE and much better graphics….and it’s available in almost every language.

[@joelconolly5574]

@@LucienSabre probably don't need LTE/5G since it's WiFi only. But yeah, unless you somehow know how to take care of your tablet, this is definitely on riskier purchase.

[@LucienSabre]

@@joelconolly5574 Absolutely. Unless someone wants to game outdoor or during a vacation, LTE/5G is not gonna be a major requirement. Plus, gamers usually do know that how to care for a tablet so this - although a tiny bit “inferior” (allow me the awful term) - is gonna be an objectively better choice than the iPad Mini. 👍

[@Kamafliazas]

I did benchmark lenovo y700 2023. If looking benchmarks on 3d mark, new lenovo tablet has higher scores and about 97% stability on 3DMark Wild Life Extreme stress (some how it doesnt throttle even reaches over 40C). Lenovo gpu scores ~2800, while ipad mini (2021) with A15 bionic around ~2750. On geekbench 6, around 1850 single and 4850 multi (idk why i did get scores so high). And its kinda close to 8 gen 2 cpu scores. While 8 gen 2 has kinda only better gpu than 8+. ( IF looking antutu 10, gpu scores 8+ ~480000 and 8 gen 2 ~580000 thats kinda only 8 gen 2 advantage). What did suprise me, that cpu 8+ on this lenovo tab has the best scores of all 8+ (phones) kinda.

[@daviddamasceno6063]

This is the tablet I've been looking for. The size is just perfect! Unfortunately it's not available in my country and I'm not sure if I want to buy from abroad, however there is no other option. No other company is making tablets this size with this much performance.

Greetings, I think it is the best small-sized Android tablet. Is it good for things other than games? Where can I buy it? Thanks and appreciation. .

Only available for import from China, sadly. It's a pretty good 8 inch tablet in general - just a bit sad that it doesn't support 5G and no phone capabilities. It would be interesting to have on an 8 incher

[@GermainStaquet]

It's good for everything. Media consumption like Netflix and other streaming services (also streams beautifully from network movies in 4K without transcoding), social networks, web browsing. I even use mine (the previous version of the Y700) to RDP into my Windows computers at home when on the go (teethering from my mobile phone). Even split screen is working fine (for example watch KZbin on one half and browse web on the other half of the screen). Also supports floating windows. It's basically a high spec tablet in a little body. It can do nothing less than big tablets, and fits in back pocket. 😂
