Lenovo is gearing up to introduce a new gaming tablet that could attract gamers who are frequently on the move. The company recently confirmed via their Weibo account that they are about to unveil a refreshed version of the popular Legion Y700 tablet.
Unveiling Details
While Lenovo hasn't provided many specifics, they did hint at a "coming soon" release. However, a Geekbench 5 listing, brought to light by the reputable tech leaker Digital Chat Station, provides some insight into the tablet's potential specifications.
The listing suggests that the device, likely the Y700, will feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC and 12GB of RAM. It achieved scores of 2,209 in single-core and 6,509 in multi-core tests, indicating a significant performance upgrade over the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip found in the previous version.
Specifications and Launch Details
Although the Geekbench listing gives us a peek into the tablet's processing capabilities, other important details such as display specifications, storage configurations, and battery size remain unspecified.
The global launch plans are also unclear at this point. However, if Lenovo follows the pattern of the previous model, a worldwide release after the initial launch in China seems probable.
With the year drawing to a close, it's likely that the Legion Y700 will be launched in the coming weeks or months. This timing would potentially allow Lenovo to capitalize on the holiday season, appealing to mobile gamers looking for a robust and portable device.
