What owners say about the Lenovo Legion Y700 Gen 4 WiFi (12GB + 256GB)

Based on 79 owners sharing their experience in online comments

56%positive11%mixed33%negative

Owners praise its powerful gaming performance, while Chinese software and language setup remain the biggest frustration.

What owners dislike

  • Some apps, including Legion Zone, stay in Chinese even after Setedit, and the system can switch to Chinese after installing apps like ChatGPT.12
  • PS2 and GameCube games stutter when run from the microSD card. One owner fixed PS2 stutter by converting ROMs to CHD format.3
  • There is no SIM slot, so no mobile data or calls. It only works online over Wi-Fi, mainly at home.3

  • Average speaker performance that lacks background detail and can sound harsh at high volumes.
  • No 3.5mm headphone jack, requiring adapters or wireless solutions.

Verdict

The Lenovo Legion Y700 Gen 4 (2025) is a high-performance 8.8-inch gaming tablet powered by the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, paired with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.1 storage. It features a sharp 3K IPS LCD display with a 165Hz refresh rate, 3040 x 1904 resolution, and Dolby Vision support, housed in a sleek 7mm-thin aluminum body. Key advantages include its compact form factor, dual USB-C ports with 68W fast charging and video-out capabilities, a returning microSD card slot for up to 2TB expansion, and a large 7,600mAh battery with bypass charging for prolonged gaming. However, its main drawbacks are the lack of an OLED panel, a fingerprint-prone matte finish, and potential software complexities as it often ships with a Chinese ROM requiring manual installation of Google Play Services.
