Lenovo seems poised to make a significant impact in the gaming tablet market with the much-anticipated 2024 update of the popular Legion Y700 gaming tablet. The company has teased the device multiple times on its official Weibo account, with the latest teasers revealing more details about its features.
Enhanced Design and Cooling
The new Legion Y700 will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, which is said to have a 'restructured' internal layout. This design positions the SoC near the upper middle of the tablet, aiming to lower temperatures in crucial areas where users typically hold the device while gaming in landscape mode. This innovative placement could reduce temperatures by as much as 4.3 degrees Celsius, enhancing the gaming experience.
Impressive Display and Performance
The gaming tablet was prominently featured in Lenovo's recent promotional video, showcasing its gaming capabilities. As anticipated, the Legion Y700 sports an 8.8-inch display that many gamers appreciate for its compact size. The video highlights the tablet in a sleek matte black finish, demonstrating its versatility for both gaming and other media consumption while on the move.
The specifications of the Legion Y700 are noteworthy, including a 165 Hz IPS display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600, DCI-P3 color coverage, and a maximum brightness of 500 nits. It’s expected that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC will be paired with up to 12 GB of RAM, as suggested by a recent Geekbench leak.
Anticipation for Launch
With the official launch date for the Legion Y700 gaming tablet approaching, fans won't have to wait much longer. However, those residing in the US and other regions may experience a slight delay, but a global launch is likely to follow soon after.
