Legion Y700: Lenovo launches new gaming tablet with a competitive starting price

The 2024 Legion Y700 has been officially released by Lenovo in China. The new gaming tablet is currently available for pre-order in China for CNY 2,899, or around $413. When compared to the RedMagic Nova, which had a starting price of CNY 3,999 (about $570) in China, this pricing is quite competitive.

However, there are a few significant variations between the two. First off, the regular Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is present in the 2024 Lenovo Legion Y700. In contrast, the RedMagic Nova has the Leading Version, which is a little overclocked and has marginally superior performance.

The good part is that Lenovo has paired this flagship SoC with a large vapor chamber cooler. As the company previously shared, this cooling setup lets the chip stay cool even during heavy loads, leading to a stable gaming performance and optimal temperature.

Another big difference between the 2024 Legion Y700 and Nova is the screen size. The former is more compact, coming with an 8.8-inch screen, while the latter has a 10.9-inch display. Lenovo says that the compact nature of the gaming tablet makes it perfect for both small and large hands.

Speaking of the Legion Y700’s screen, it’s an IPS panel with a 165 Hz refresh rate, 1600p resolution, and global DC dimming. Among the other highlights of the Android tablet is a relatively large battery with a 6,550 mAh capacity. Lenovo says that it can offer up to 8.9 hours of gaming.

There’s support for 68W fast charging as well (100W Anker GaN charger curr. $49.99 on Amazon). Other notable features include up to 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512 GB of UFS 4.0 storage, two USB-C ports, and a stereo speaker setup with Dolby Atmos. All of these make it a proper successor to the 2023 model.

As for the global pricing and availability of the 2024 Legion Y700, Lenovo hasn’t shed light on these details yet. However, the international pricing should also be competitive, especially when compared to the global variant of RedMagic Nova.
