Third-party reviews

What we like about Lenovo Legion Y700 Cellular (12GB + 256GB)

  • High-performance flagship processors (Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in Gen 4) for smooth gaming and emulation
  • Smooth 144Hz or 165Hz refresh rate displays that provide fluid responsiveness
  • Unique dual USB-C port design allowing simultaneous charging and peripheral use or video out
  • Compact 8.8-inch form factor that is ideal for handheld gaming and portable reading
  • Specialized gaming features like bypass charging and a dedicated 'Legion Space' HUD
  • Strong haptic feedback and quality loudspeakers for an immersive experience

What we don't like about Lenovo Legion Y700 Cellular (12GB + 256GB)

  • Lack of native cellular (LTE/5G) or GPS connectivity in standard models
  • Software limitations including short update support and difficulties with Chinese ROMs
  • Subpar camera quality that is often described as poor or not a focus of the device
  • LCD panel used instead of OLED, which some users find disappointing for a premium gaming device
  • Potential for thermal throttling and significant battery drain during intense gaming sessions
  • Limited availability of first-party and high-quality third-party accessories

Verdict

The Lenovo Legion Y700 (12GB + 256GB) is a high-performance 8.8-inch gaming tablet featuring a 2.5K (2560 x 1600) IPS display with a fluid 165Hz refresh rate and up to 500 nits of brightness. This compact powerhouse is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, LPDDR5X RAM, and UFS 4.0 storage, delivering elite speed for demanding mobile games and multitasking. Key advantages include its portable form factor, dual USB-C ports with video-out support, and advanced cooling technology that maintains performance during extended sessions. However, it lacks a dedicated cellular/LTE version in most regions, and users frequently cite mediocre camera quality and the absence of an OLED panel as notable drawbacks.
