This is like a dream 8inch android tablet, but already bought a Samsung galaxy tab S9+ recently. It's really nice seeing android tablets being taken more seriously by more manufacturers and the 8inch form factor has been forgotten about even thou it's amazing for portability.
your s9+ is unironically better than this tablet for gaming due to the 8gen2, i just enable light mode and framecap it at 60fps and on my s23U it stays cool
Can't wait for PC game emulation perfected. You can play so many games on mobile. Oh man, I am so want to play Dark Souls, Skyrim, GTA, Bioshock etc on tablet.
Oh, the timing. I've been agonizing over ordering this tablet for a month, scouring the tubes and webs for reviews. I almost bought a Samsung 9, but I really wanted something smaller. ETA's review of the previous y700 model from last year was great, but I thought I should wait to see if he reviewed the 2023 model... so I just ordered one. Thanks, ETA.

You are among the very few youtubers who explores desktop mode. Would be nice if you could also do it for devices that don't have it as an oem dedicated option, but can use the Android developer mode switch.
This reminds me of my first tablet ever, Samsung Galaxy Tab pro 8.4. Perfect hardware for that time, sadly Samsung messed up badly with updates, god bless XDA and Cyanogen/Lineage
I own and still have the Galaxy Tab S 8.4, which is basically like the Tab Pro but with AMOLED. This tablet still slaps even in 2023. Pictures and video content look freaking amazing on that AMOLED display. The only way to make do with the sluggish performance is by flashing Lineage 14. There is LOS17 but it slows the tablet down.
I miss my Tab Pro 8.4. Gorgeous screen, great performance, perfect form factor. Unfortunately the kids wrecked it. This looks like it might be a worthy replacement
Thanks @ETA for the review i have just ordered one a few days ago. I will be reviewing this tablet in a Metal shell case that has been made specifically for the tablet. If your interested ETA i can link you up with the shell case link :)
It's not exactly the same screen, but it's likely nearly identical. The Go screen will be native landscape while this one is native portrait (the orientation of the pixels is different).
I had the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.4 back in the day. It's still in a drawer somewhere. I loved the screen and form factor but this was in a period of horrible update policies for Samsung so I rooted and flashed roms for a while until I got out of doing that kind of stuff. For me 8 inch tablets are perfect, 16:9 tablets are the perfect form factor. Easy to reach in games and no black bars on 99% of media. I have my eye on this. But not sure if I'd use it. I traded an S6 (none lite) to upgrade to a Z Fold when it released last year. I miss microSD cards though.
I just used it for 2 days and this tablet awesome...compact but but powerfull. Btw, I'm still waiting for your video about the desktop mode capability, and please add some tutorial to use it as ps emulator...
For info, widevine L1 isn't enough for Netflix HD unlocking, they not only require L1 but also to whitelist the device model itself for that to happen and this is where Netflix android app falls appart, even common Samsung devices are sometime not listed despite L1 support. Many people buy phones and tablet thinking L1 will be enough to discover Netflix doesn't support it in the end.
Good thing Netflix is relatively niche now. It's actually difficult to find people in the real world who have Netflix (in contrast to how EVERYONE had it a decade ago). Netflix is very easy to live without these days. Every other service (currently) works in HD.
@@awesomeferret This gotta be the biggest lie I've ever seen written. Netflix has more subscribers now than they ever had before, I don't know anybody who doesn't have Netflix. It's the baseline streaming service for most people.
I'm waiting for the followup video as well, but he did do a video on last year's model that includes desktop mode. Just search this channel for Y700 tablet. I suspect that video will apply to this year's model as well. I did purchase this and am setting up for emulation.
Looks like a great day to day tablet you can take and use anywhere... only niggle is that it probably could do with higher brightness for outdoor use. Still a super tablet, Lenono doing some decent moves.
Lenovo Legion Y700 2023 is using SD 8+ Gen 1 (TSMC) instead of the regular 8 Gen 1 (Samsung). Edit: Yeah, upon researching. It is definitely using Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. Please make a correction in the video as there is a huge difference between the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 which was manufactured by Samsung and had inefficient thermal chipset compared to the updated Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 which is manufactured by TSMC which has better thermals. The 8 Plus Gen 1 also has higher clock and better performance than 8 Gen 1. Both are using 4nm process node though. So, please do make a erratum regarding this video as I've always been following this channel for tech news, gaming, etc. Wouldn't want the viewers to get misinformation.
This is really a crucial information needed to pass on to viewers. I have no experience of said soc's but I did experience SD 888 - manufactured by Samsung and SD 865 - TSMC. Even though 888 is newer and suppose to be better in every way, 865 is easily better by having way better thermals.
Maybe I will finally upgrade my mediapad m5 8.4". Tbh it's still as snappy as when I got it 4 or 5 years ago but a little more juice for emulation would be good.
Lol I used that tablet 5 years ago too, I liked it alot, It was pretty snappy and the speaker was loud and the screen was nice and bright and sharp for the price. This tablet seems like it would be a great successor to that.
Can't wait for next video. I just picked one up. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to get here. By the way, love your videos thanks for all the content and enjoyment. I get out of them!
I thought the Tab S9+ was the best tablet on the market, but I guess it really comes down to preference at this point.🤷🏿♂️ You should review the Red Magic Gaming Tablet if you can ever get your hands on it.
Watching this on my last year Y700 Perfect for gaming of course Also one hand reading and watching videos while laying down on bed without the fear of large screen fall on your face
I would have probably gotten this instead of the Tab S9, really like the 8-inch factor. Does this support "second screen" mode, like Samsung? I use it as an additional monitor when paired with my work laptop.
It's such a tragedy tablet companies r so conservative about putting higher end chips into tablets, the hand held market has now surpassed them even both in io, performance, and functionality even. If AYA or one of it's competitors just removes the control sticks it would blow every tablet manufacturer away..... It's also such a tragedy the market thought we needed larger tablets 8-10" was always where it was at. This has got to be the most innovative tablet on the market idk why companies arent following with similar products esp w/ how stupidly big tablets are getting.
Would love to see how non-graphically intensive Steam or Epic store games run via Winlator. I'm thinking games like Prodeus, Streets of Rage 4 and Civilization 4.
I feel like the only problem would be the battery life, because there are some phones in budget(or considered midrange in India) that have 6000mAh, and this may drop a bit faster than the phone. Other than that, it seems like a great tablet.
@pradeepmalar327 That's good to know. I guess we will need to find a charge limiter app for Android like Aldente for macOS. But I'm hopeful the battery, especially with an efficient processor like 8+ Gen 1 will pull through at least 2 hours of gaming which should be good enough for most on the go gaming.
Great review here, i liked it alot. But i wonder what kind of rom is installed on tablet, the China one or the Global? Thank you in advance for your answear, you did a great work with this video.
100% agree. I also like 9 inch tablets but anything bigger is just cumbersome. If I'm going to bring a screen that big around I'll just bring my laptop
@@nathansstuff1547 No need to be hopeful as this device has already been released. It is definitely using SD 8+ Gen 1. @ETAPRIME just need to make a correction in his video. Gizmochina and TechTablets has a review on it. Check it out also.
A heads up - the last version of this had issues. PS5 controller didn't work and a few months of just bad patches. Be aware that getting these tablets comes with issues at times, but they run amazing when you get them.
I have my over 8 years old still good laptop and my new over 1 year old Lenovo Legion Pc so I can say I am a Lenovofan and im really hyped there's Lenovo tablets too, that Lenovo Legion y700 looks really beautiful and powerful. By the way would you make a video about new Lenovo legion go handheld gaming pc? 🔥🔥
Samsung should do smaller tab 🤔 they use to have smaller sized with smaller screen 🤔 a 512 now I think smaller one to 128 to 215 for screen sized I want a smaller tab
Agree. I bought an A7 Lite for a small tablet, but it acts like a low-price tablet. I want a Galaxy S class tablet, but they're all so big. Samsung sold me a cheaper tablet than I wanted.
Yes. The only IOS product I own is an Ipad Mini and use it for gaming primarily. It blows away Android in that size and I really wish Samsung or someone would take the 8" form factory more seriously
Is this even officially in the market in the US? Why isn't being sold by any of the well known we electronics retailers, or even Lenovo official US website?
Oh man, Lenovo missed an opportunity to make a telescoping usb c controller for this bad boy. Or maybe there is an aftermarket one that would already fit?
I have this and the 2022 Y700. The older one comes with a dual charger. This 2023 that I have is the 16GB 512GB Y700. QUESTION- the original had PC MODE on tablet. I can't find it on the 2023 model.

Hey good day brother I hope you see this comment, please can you help me with legion y700 gaming apk, I bought mind and it came yesterday but the gaming app is not preinstalled and that's ruining my experience of the Tablet as I tend to use it for gaming
tip for those who uses aethersx2 the performance overlay on the top right corner specially the fps and speed is color coded and it is as follows white is full speed/stable green is boosted frame rate red is bad performance/unstable
@@raeedibnzaman1 That's what I do now and it is a good experience. I've been wanting a tablet with something similar but Samsung tablets are pretty expensive and the level of performance is acceptable for the price. Looking outside the samsung ecosystem this looks like a good choice.
Keep an eye on Brad Colbow, Lisa on Mobiletech and TeohonTech. They usually get their hands on these and do a proper pen test with pressure test and the notorious slow diagonal line test 😉
It's a shame that this SOC doesn't support AV1. With Dolby vision, which is a nice touch, it would also have been nice to have the full set with HDR10+.
I mean, it very obviously supports it. Think about what you're saying. 😂 There's just no hardware decoding. That SoC is very capable of decoding AV1 in software.
@ ETA PRIME I'm definately interested in this tablet. Was wondering how Citra would work with second screen option when 3ds is emulated. Can you use the tablet as the "lower screen with touch" and your tv as the mainscreen?
Can you please show what webpage content looks like on this device? Visiting websites and browsing the web, and more importantly, what TH-cam looks like on this device. Portrait mode, landscape mode.
unfortunately few things are stopping me from buying it. 1) China ROM (not interested in flashing) 2) Lenovo dogshit SW support 3) HW quality used is low.
Hello ! Is it possible to buy this tablet just as a TV STB? {including 2 USB-C ports with power bypass} Including for connecting external exFAT/NTFS drives, download the video. and so on .
That side USB-C port means I could use it in portrait with my GameSir X2 Pro for ultimate DS emulation. Even 4x3 content would be a lot bigger in portrait than it is in landscape on a phone.
Thanks for the video! Question, how do you guys play with that tablet? Android games ? Xbox games pass ? Steam ? Emulation? In this latter case is it easy to find the games ?
In general with Android (phones and tablets) I do paid Android games from the Play Store and emulation of things/genres I can't buy. I used to do a decent amount of streaming with Stadia; but, after it went under I haven't bothered with streaming since. A lot of people do though using Gamepass or G-Force Now.
This is like a dream 8inch android tablet, but already bought a Samsung galaxy tab S9+ recently. It's really nice seeing android tablets being taken more seriously by more manufacturers and the 8inch form factor has been forgotten about even thou it's amazing for portability.
Yes 8 inch is perfect for emulation with ipega gamepad, i have 11 inch tablet and is too heavy with gamepad
your s9+ is unironically better than this tablet for gaming due to the 8gen2, i just enable light mode and framecap it at 60fps and on my s23U it stays cool
Your tablet is much better than this. 8 gen 2 is miles better than gen1
Keep in mind all of you that 8 gen 1 is still a powerful proccesor despite being 1 gen behind the 8 gen 2
Can't wait for PC game emulation perfected. You can play so many games on mobile.

@@gutwallst6645 Yea see, I can't afford spending that kind of money on some website I've never heard of😭 Wish they'd just sell it at best buy or on the Lenovo website like a normal company😭😭
This definitely a better value than an iPad mini, but I wish Lenovo released some more budget 8-inch tablets instead.
Prob will of this does good
why are tablets always a gen behind in chipsets like cmon the gen2 has been out for so long
This needs a split controller ftw
So y'all just haven't "laid" your hands on any of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 9's ? That's crazy.
Hey good day brother I hope you see this comment, please can you help me with legion y700 gaming apk, I bought mind and it came yesterday but the gaming app is not preinstalled and that's ruining my experience of the Tablet as I tend to use it for gaming
Hello ETA Prime, can you try a game with winlator in desktop mode? 🙏🏿
tip for those who uses aethersx2 the performance overlay on the top right corner specially the fps and speed is color coded and it is as follows
white is full speed/stable
green is boosted frame rate
red is bad performance/unstable
Watching on the 1st get Y700, great little tablet.
I bet the display out port with the desktop mode would work really good with the Xreal glasses.
The desktop mode does not look polished at all. I think you'd be better off getting a samsung phone with Dex and use the Xreal glasses with them.
@@raeedibnzaman1 That's what I do now and it is a good experience. I've been wanting a tablet with something similar but Samsung tablets are pretty expensive and the level of performance is acceptable for the price. Looking outside the samsung ecosystem this looks like a good choice.
lenovo answered my prayers after all these years... a packed system under 9 inches!!! now i would need to find people who reviews the pen for this!
Keep an eye on Brad Colbow, Lisa on Mobiletech and TeohonTech. They usually get their hands on these and do a proper pen test with pressure test and the notorious slow diagonal line test 😉
It's a shame that this SOC doesn't support AV1. With Dolby vision, which is a nice touch, it would also have been nice to have the full set with HDR10+.
I mean, it very obviously supports it. Think about what you're saying. 😂 There's just no hardware decoding. That SoC is very capable of decoding AV1 in software.
@ ETA PRIME I'm definately interested in this tablet. Was wondering how Citra would work with second screen option when 3ds is emulated. Can you use the tablet as the "lower screen with touch" and your tv as the mainscreen?
If Citra supports it I don't think it'll be an issue.
Can you please show what webpage content looks like on this device? Visiting websites and browsing the web, and more importantly, what TH-cam looks like on this device. Portrait mode, landscape mode.
Been lusting after this, wondering when it was gonna be available...
Good review as always. Does this tablet support LDAC bluetooth music playback? Please kindly confirm
you need to add up ragnarok origin global to the games you are testing bro, my s8 tab lagged alot on it.
How about on productivity mode using PowerPoint presentation. Please stretch a little for productivity side of this already better tablet. Thank you!
Good video. Does this have pc mode like the previous model ?
Not only it has desktop mode, it also offers stylus support. The price is on par with Tab S6 lite. This is such a deal.
unfortunately few things are stopping me from buying it. 1) China ROM (not interested in flashing) 2) Lenovo dogshit SW support 3) HW quality used is low.
@@tidus7081 ooh, that explains its low price point.
I want more tablets with 8 inches screens and powerfuls, the size is perfect to emulate, an ipega controller and it looks like a nintendo switch
Love this - but where to buy this in the UK!? (from an official retailer)
Is this too big for a telescopic controller? Specifically the Gamesir X2?
What are the options for 11 inch tablets? The onn 11 I don't trust due to how it self corrupted.
Lenovo p 11 pro or 12 pro for android, or the Lenovo duet 3 for Chrome OS. I or the Lenovo duet 3i for windows
The specs you shown in your video and the link you provided are different. Yours 8 gen 1, BT5.2 and wifi 6. Theirs 8 gen+ 1, BT5.1 and wifi 2.4/5g.
Hello !
Is it possible to buy this tablet just as a TV STB?
{including 2 USB-C ports with power bypass}
Including for connecting external exFAT/NTFS drives, download the video. and so on
.
The side usbc makes this the best device for schmup games and arcade emulation
That side USB-C port means I could use it in portrait with my GameSir X2 Pro for ultimate DS emulation. Even 4x3 content would be a lot bigger in portrait than it is in landscape on a phone.
Thanks for the video! Question, how do you guys play with that tablet? Android games ? Xbox games pass ? Steam ? Emulation? In this latter case is it easy to find the games ?
In general with Android (phones and tablets) I do paid Android games from the Play Store and emulation of things/genres I can't buy. I used to do a decent amount of streaming with Stadia; but, after it went under I haven't bothered with streaming since. A lot of people do though using Gamepass or G-Force Now.
