While Lenovo has withdrawn from the gaming phone market, it’s still working on gaming tablets: Next up is the Lenovo Legion Y700 (2023), a sequel to last year’s Y700. The new model will be launched on July 22 (Saturday).

The Y700 (2023) offers plenty of power with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and LPDDR5X RAM (capacity TBA). It’s a big step up from last year’s model’s Snapdragon 870. Battery capacity is the same at 6,550mAh.

This is designed to be a small tablet, smaller even than the original as the thickness and weight have been reduced to 7.6mm and 348g (compared to 7.9mm and 375g).

What’s interesting about the Lenovo Legion Y700 (2023) is that it has two USB-C ports: one on the long side and one on the short side. Since there are two ports, you can plug a power cord into one and, say, a USB hub into the other.
