New Lenovo Legion tablet: What to expect

 

The expected Legion gaming tablet will likely be an upgraded version of the Legion Y700 (2025) tablet, which launched in China last year. The next-generation model is expected to use a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, replacing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip from the Legion Y700 (2025). The tablet is expected to be thinner than the current model and have a larger battery. For comparison, the Legion Y700 (2025) model has a 6,550mAh battery, weighs 350g, and is 7.79mm thick.   

 

According to the report, the tablet may come with dual X-axis haptic motors and feature a dual speaker system. The device is expected to have an 8.8-inch LCD display with an “ultra-high” refresh rate, likely 165 Hz in gaming mode. Similar to the current model, the tablet might be offered with 16GB RAM and up to 512GB storage.     ALSO READ | Nintendo Direct: Here are all new games coming to Switch, Switch 2 consoles
