The BEST 8” Gaming Tablet You Can Get Right Now! Power In The Palms Of Your Hands

[@JournVen]

Thank you Eta prime! Mine is only Y700 2022 version, yet still a decent gaming tablet. 40mins 100% charging time for 5 to 7 hours of gaming. Excellent performance for heavy android games. Value for money.

[@junryladobise]

@@JournVen you use full brightness when you play?

[@wootermeloon]

Feels nostalgic to see a decent small form factor android tablet again. Shoutout to my fellow nexus 7 2013 users out there ~

[@NukaOrQuantum]

I guess everything is “The BEST” according to ETA

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

I mean he does qualify it and says it's the best 8-in gaming tablet. Which might be true but it's kind of funny because I think it might be the only 8 inch gaming tablet.

[@huguberhart]

@@michaelcorcoran8768 Can the Apple 8 inch tablet be compared to this?

[@michaeltaylor4817]

​@@michaelcorcoran8768i find eta to be more of a showcase of devices, rather than a critical review. Great if your trying to talk yourself into buying something and want validation.

[@thesidneychan]

I've checked the channel and actually looked for videos where the title has "Best" in it. I was shocked to find out that you're overexaggerating.

[@mahaxlord]

​@@michaelcorcoran8768 That's how people search on youtube... "Best 8 inch gaming tablet 2024"

[@franticfrost]

Great to see more 8 inch tablets as iPad Mini alternatives. Would be good to see if this has a keyboard accessory to be a true travel companion: Gaming, Media, basic email/ Google docs w/keyboard.

[@Mrj-cee]

its actually Snapdragon 8+ gen 1 not SD 8gen 1,and its good for emulation coz no thermal throttling issue on SD8+gen 1 no more than SD 8gen1.

[@sprayberry88]

I snagged one of these about a month ago a hoooooo boy is it an emulation monster. I highly recommend pairing it the Gamesir G8. Full disclosure, you'll have to do a fairly simple mod to the controller to get it to fit and there is a trick to get the Y700 (2023) to recognize and power it, but all-in-all it's a small hassle for a much better gaming experience!

[@richricks78]

Where did you purchase it from? I'm so interested in getting one I'm just not sure where to get it from. Thanks

[@PyroCatus]

This still have the microSD card slot which is good but the bigger 10 and 11 inches tablets from Lenovo don't have one for some reason.

This the 8" to get. Have been waiting for this forever to a global release. I'm Southeast Asia, Singapore.

[@kennethfraser3961]

Just picked one of these up & I'm well impressed ! It's a little power monster 😊

[@srvuk]

From what I can see, in the UK this looks to be called the Legion Tab and at present, the 12/256 model ( no other listed) is £499, or £525 with a folio. I would want a Gen2 SOC for these prices and I would not personally purchase any new product today that did not support AV1 decoding. Even at £399 I would call it a stretch, considering that the Odin 2 with the Gen2 is cheaper and more powerful, despite having 2,2" less screen area.

[@TimMorley]

10% discount for first order from Lenovo. Does not work on the bundle, but does if you add separately.

[@greenmesjasz]

Well the Ali keeps selling the Chinese ROM for sub 300 and that way it's actually a decent value, u can get their version of global ROM which is OK or flash is on your own, with that caviot China is the way to go here

[@jisgo]

Can you test warzone Mobile in every upcoming video? It helps a lot!

[@Jose-fq1lj]

I just got this. And so far it's awesome! There's no competition in the us market for a small powerful android tablet. Not a fan of Lenovo's software but it didn't take much to get it where i wanted it.

You can slightly mod the bsp d8 to fit in a 11" tablet, or buy the new bsp d9 which can do it out of the box. I don't know why not more telescopic controller can do this tho, seems like a missed opportunity.

[@hit0midesuuue]

I bought a Xiaomi Pad 6 and configured with 8GB memory and 256GB storage. Satisfied with the performance and 11 inch is somewhat bulky. I wish this thing existed before i bought that instead

Hi,im searching for a compact tablet to be used on the go,mainly to edit videos on insta360 app. Does this tab support insta360 app and can i ask your favor to test insta360 app performance on this tab? Thank you so much

[@jayjayhooksch1]

I'm in the market for a tablet. Never had one, having trouble deciding on form factor (8"vs11"). The problem seemed to be nothing competing with the iPad mini 6 in the 8" space but this seems like it does the trick. I like that it has way more storage in the base model and being a newer release should mean longer support/updates. Im currently testing the samsung a9+ and have a A9 coming tonight (budget 11"& 8" options) but I wish I could get my hands on the y700 locally here in Toronto Canada to compare what a budget tablet vs a gaming tablet is like. Anyone have any idea when this device might be coming to North America, my return windows are limited here lol

[@josiahjwhitfield]

this is easily my new favorite tablet. completely replaced my samsung galaxy s6 lite AND my kindle lol

[@corpingtons]

I might just get it

[@TyTango]

Have you tried Geforce now with this tablet? Im thinking of picking it up strictly for Geforce now

[@mayankagrawal1331]

Does it also support other accessories like magnetic keyboard or pen support?

[@botchog8251]

How about for other android games, like LoL Wildrift and MLBB? What's the maximum graphics settings you can get out of those games?

[@technopackrat]

I've got the 2022 version and the Legion gaming app and overlays are in Chinese. Does the new 2023 version have english native in those apps or are they still in Chinese? Just wondering if there is possibly a newer global ROM that the 2022 versions can be flashed to so English is native on all Legion apps? I did pick up a Legion Go but still a bit heavier than the Y700.

[@vinsan98]

Amazing video.👍 I really liked this Tablet. I'll get it as soon as it's available in my region.👍😀

[@domislegit1]

if i purchased this lets say now, is there any idea on when the 2024 model comes out or any word? always so hard to make a decision when new models come out not even a year later

Hey there, I would like to hear some coverage about tablets for RAW photo editing. It would be nice to travel without a laptop, but I do a lot of photography (with a "real" camera) when I travel. Snapseed doesn't support the RAW file type from my Olympus camera, at least not on Android.

[@Quickrex]

You mentioned global ROM, I have one and regret that😢 . No updates, like a one time hit wonder 💭. Okay will have to see if I can use the Lenovo recovery tool to either get the Official global or the original Chinese ROM. Okay I payed 325 💵 bucks, so yeah maybe I should just shut-up.

Why buy this, when you can get an Odin 2 w/Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (albeit a somewhat smaller screen and 1080p/60Hz), for $299?

because this is $300 on ali and can be flashed to global with 10 min

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

Ive been trying to get decent enough budget 7-8" tablet with 1080p resolution. NOBODY seems to have one so I ended up buying an Lenovo M9 based off reviews instead of the Samsung A9... Now I know why Lenovo was holding back on shipping tablets with decent screens. So they can put it in a £400 tablet. Sigh.... I had 3 choices. Lenovo M9, Samsung A9 or a 6-6.7"" mobile phone.... Mobile phone has the best resolution. but I dont want to have to watch stuff on a small screen anymore.
