I'm comparing the brand new Lenovo Legion Tab Y700 2023 Edition with the Apple iPad Mini. Two 8-inch premium tablets are competing with each other. One runs Android and the other one iPadOS. Both feature active pen support, both have very powerful hardware, and I enjoyed using both a lot.
Which small mini tablet do you prefer?

Samsung really needs to enter the 8 inch flagship tablet market. I would love to see one with the detachable keyboard and pen.
They did, I had the galaxy S2 8" it was amazing! Best tablet I ever had..
They have galaxy tab A9.. but it's entry level tablet
Galaxy tab s10 mini
And it will cost a lot. The era of Samsung must end, they should no longer sell anything at a premium for the brand. Samsung has never brought anything radically new to the market.
@@artyom9219Still better than the overrated Z Fold series anyway.
This is real reviewer that describes what he thinks of the screen and speakers rather than just showing some songs/videos being played, talks about his experience with the software with actual context and not mostly about video editing only unlike many other youtubers.
Have both, love both. I do find myself using the Legion far more often, though.
Does it have playstore?
@@userjeyemit can be downloaded but you can ask the seller to download and put it in English language
@@shhtttrsDo it yourself, the language is the fist thing you select when you turn it on and the sellers install all Indy’s of bloatware on them!
We need Samsung in this party. I prefer the physical footprint of the ipad & Apples os updates are alot better, so there are some trade offs. Nice comparison, thank you.
Thanks for this.
We need more 8 inch powerhouse tablets with pen support. Samsung, where are you?
If you get the Y700 in Chinese ROM can it be switched to Global?
Hi, I don't recommend switching to global. You will loose ota especially os upgrade. You can just easily disable the pre installed Chinese apps.
with the sales on AE right now I snagged a Y700 for like $265, at that price it's really killer, more powerful than my phone
Lovely review. Well thought out and elaborated. Very useful info on both tablets!
I can't understand how they ship the Y700 with such a huge UI. I had to change my DPI via ADB on my 2022 version just to get most apps to open in their tablet layout (unless you do this, you will RARELY get the tablet version, even with apps like TH-cam). Do they assume that everyone has horrible eyesight? I don't understand why people want a tablet that has less information density than their phone! If I did a review of this tablet, I'd do it with a more appropriate DPI. The Y700 tablets simply should not be used with the out of the box DPI (you can always make the fonts bigger after changing the DPI). It's so weird to me how older 16:9 phones and tablets are more useful as far as DPI goes just because there's this trend in modern UI design to make everything look like it it's designed for people who need glasses but never wear them. The point of a bigger screen is to cram info into a bigger viewport! Why would I want fonts to be twice as large as they are on my phone? It just confuses me the more I think about it. Phones used to have DPI sliders that actually made things tiny if you wanted it to, and now the "small" setting is still way too big.
I also can't understand how Apple thought it was okay to ship a tablet that has vsync tearing. Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave. I would own an iPad Mini if it didn't have this issue. A tablet that powerful having screen tearing (the jelly effect) is unacceptable when I have a stack of decade old ewaste tablets that don't have this issue (and a few that do, my Kindle Fire HDX 2013 has the worst tearing I've ever seen on any android device).
Yes, as you can see, because I understand a lot of things, it makes it difficult for me to understand a lot of things. Yay, life. 😂
I really wish Samsung would do a premium smaller tablets to compete. The Y700 is great but the lack of SW support long-term from Lenovo is an issue. It makes no sense why they wouldn't release this here. It would sell like crazy.
Apparently Lenovo will be releasing the Y700 2023 version internationally this year according to various leaks on some android community forums.
they released it globally, but I don't know if there will be updates and for how long.
I’m very disappointed. The Y700 doesn’t have cellular connectivity since the 1st generation. If they had that functionality Lenovo will rival both Samsung and Apple in tablet market
exactly ... and no gps ... this is making me consider the ipad mini although I am an android guy ...
Lenovo updates are terrible, I doubt they could rival Samsung and Apple.
Cellular and gps pretty niche from where i live. Its like asking laptop to navigate so good, albeit those with cellular and gps like smartphones will do better.
Smartphone already handles that.
So this is very spesific for those using them for medias and gaming, which they do well from the testing.
Thanks for the review
Could you provide the url / link of where i can buy the Lenovo Tab Pen Plus ?
Having no cellular option on a powerful yet portable tablet is a deal breaker for me. Sticking with my Mini 6 until Android OEMs take this screen size seriously again.
This dude forget to mention iPad mini take 2 hour to charge 2 hour..lenova charge in 50 min..plus this dude show image while gaming..but not video..lenova is 3 time better for gaming and faster.and you can buy global version no problem.and if you are buying for Cellular reason then it's fine.well I use phone for that.i have switch from ipad mini to this tablet 3 weeks before.and it is way better..and way faster..then 4 GB ram 64 refresh. S 144. I bought this tablet mainly for gaming and writing and better then iPhone cost me 200$ less and 256 GB more storage ..
I've been tethering for so long that I would feel like I was wasting money if I had an LTE tablet on a plan. Trust me, once you get in the rhythm of tethering to your tablet every time it needs internet on the go, you'll think it's a bit silly to consider the lack of LTE on a tablet to be a dealbreaker. With that said, I understand extreme niches, so if you are hoping to use it to replace your phone (something that's hilariously actually a relatively practical thing that can be done, especially if you carry a purse or book bag everywhere) then I guess it may truly be a dealbreaker.
Na minha opinião, existe um tablet compacto que ainda poderia concorrer com esses dois: o Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 3 de 8 polegadas, pois usa um processador que foi lançado como topo de linha: o Exynos 9810. Além do mais, tem características únicas: proteção contra água e poeira (IP68 até pra caneta, que já está inclusa na caixa), certificação militar, bateria removível e substituível, tecla lateral dedicada configurável, lanterna potente, NFC avançado, modo Dex no computador, proteção Knox. Além disso é rápido e fluído sim, tem um desempenho similar ao Galaxy Note 9, apesar de obviamente não conseguir concorrer com o Mini 6 e nem com o Legion Y700 nesse quesito.
How about 4k desktop mode that makes it work like a pc instead of mirroring mode?
i would like to have seen how far the benchmark, thermals and battery is between the 2022 & 2023 Y700, curious how much improvement is from the 870
I had a Mini 6 with apple pen 2 but decided to send them back, considering that was like 700$ ish total vs. the y700 2023 16gb 512gb from Aliexpress being like 440$ after taxes with the pen. I'm still waiting to receive the tablet because it's coming from China but I think it'll be worth it.
I also just prefer android and never been into Apple products. The hardware spec differences and price is just too much to ignore, for me. I want to play emulator games and it's harder to do in the Apple environment.
1. how many android OS support does it get?
2. up to what ipad OS will it support?
im happy w my Lenovo Tab y700 2022 version.
never been happy gaming on mobile
Eventhough I'm not a fan of Apple, the iPad mini has always been in my radar because of its petite size. Next to any foldable phones, it still makes a lot of sense today. The A15 Bionic chipset is still a great performer, but 4GB RAM can be a bit of a problem for multitasking.
I also love the Lenovo, especially the hardware, but availability and after service can be a bit of a nuisance since it only comes as an import.
Bought it recently. It has the best performance tablet I have ever used. It is cheaper than Samsung but Samsung had way better ui, software support and awesome screen. But if you just want to play games than this tablet is perfect.
Tôi cũng đang dùng Lenovo Y700(2023),sao chế độ sạc pin không hiển thị khi khóa máy.Thank
Does anybody know if they brought back desktop mode on the tablet screen in ZUI 15? I know they took it away in ZUI 14.
ZUI 15 got it.
Can we use PC Mode on the Lenovo without an external screen?
Yes
@@MyNextTablet Nice! If only there's a Global ROM...
ASUS, SAMSUNG, should make something like this
Seeing these really makes the legion go and even better deal for the same price as these you get a 8 inch tablet with windows and much more powerful gpu
thank u!..
Excellent review 👏
I can't comprehend to those people who hating legion for no sim card slot...
Lenovo legion y700 gen 1 and gen 2 was meant for standalone gaming not meant for calling and texting the hell to this nonsense...
I'm pretty sure everyone here on this comments has 1 or 2 or 3 phones at the same time...
To be honest this device was meant for people whose tech enthusiast...
Ps.
If u want a 5g ready phone go for lenovo legion y70 it has the same chipset as the gen 2 (2023 ver.)... But it has a minor issue on messenger...
Exactly my thought. Why would you need a sim card slot for a "gaming" tablet? Sim cards are for phones, lol!
I get it, it would be nice. But to call it "dealbreaker" makes me roll my eyes when tethering works so well.
there are people who want a small powerful tablet and who don't game ;)
finally someone is talking about this thankyou sir, there is so much potential in 8inch tablet it could be best gaming device if they added latest SD 8gen 3 😍🤪🤓....
this dumb companies are all think in sheep way I guess cause every one is run after phone market
"8 inch tablet would be dream screen ration for mobile gamers😫😖😌"
Is it worth it to buy this 2024?
Is it the iPad or the Lenovo?
@@gamerold9448 Both
here atleast, a y700gen1 is about the same price$point as a Used 256mini6
But then at 1/2 is a fpad5/50minipro (g99cpu) which is also tempting for just reading and media and a light game.
Wow So Cute & Small Tablet!!! My Minimum Size of Tablet is about 12inch!!! 🖐🏻😃🖐🏻
Could you please make a review of Blackview Tab 16 or Tab 15 Pro tablet?
You forgot to mention that Ipad Mini has noticeable jelly scrolling issue and although Apple says it has cellular option, they don’t tell that Ipad mini wont accept direct call and Apple requires the user to also have an Iphone to redirect the call Ipad Mini recieves to the Iphone which is nuts cuz you will still pay the full $100 additional cost just to have cellular capabilities thats deliberately crippled by Apple’s greed. Those are the reasons that keeps me from buying Ipad mini which I like more in terms of aesthetic and size thats a little bit smaller than Y700.
iPad mini form factor is so much better, I wish samsung and lenovo made tablets with this aspect ratio.
And the ipadmini 6 has jelly scroll screen problem 😊
Lenovo missed a chance by not adding a SIM option
I'm so annoyed that samsung won't just release an 8" power tablet. There's clearly a market for it
Edit: I should also commend Lenovo here. Having the headphone jack removed from most flagship devices is a major annoyance, but 2 USB c ports is a pretty significant consolation prize. I want Samsung to start doing that too
So hard to find a good small android tablet in America. This legion is exactly what ive been looking for. Clash of clans and movies
It might arrive soon. Lenovo just announced it for Europe. Not sure about America yet though.
@@MyNextTablet Really ? Any link for this amazing news ?
@@MyNextTablet in this case is the discussion about updates still valid or will it be better?
I have ipad mini 6 and Samsung S23 and I hate 60hz ipad mini is more slower
iPad mini is quite old already. Let apple update it first. Then do the comparison. I wouldn’t buy the iPad mini today not until they upgrade it
y700
I found the iPad Mini has brutal PWM.
Ipad mini could run a games better if it's not throttling.
Samsung is missing out so much.... they never listen.... they made it flagship on smaller phones... i mean not tab size... but why can't they do it on 8inch size....
Am I the only one who thinks that the iPad mini has "1st gen iPad knockoff" vibes on the sides and back when looking at it from far away? As a poor dumb kid, my eyeballs saw many more images of iPad knockoffs (yes, I was shopping for there on a kid, shame on me) so the most modern iPad mini looks old and cheap to me. I understand if I actually am the only one, but dang.
I understand your point, but this is the new design refresh for the iPad mini. Even 2022 iPad follows the same design refresh as the mini.
The Lenovo tablets to me always look better than any, they look more premium and are cheaper with similar or even better performance than apple's extremely overrated products.
I have both or rather my sister has the ipad mini 6 and i have the legion y700 but she doesn't use her ipad so i use both,
Genesin impact the difference between both at max setting is 2fps so really un noticeable, the ipad has a better processor but honestly unless you are for some odd reason rendering videos on Your ipad mini it's not going to benefit you atall.
The ipad is limited, you need to pay for TH-cam and you get ads on every, the screen gives me motion sickeness and you get massive black bars for content consumption as the aspect ratio is dumb
On the legion you can install revanced and it's very easy to set specific games to not use internet so you will never need to enable airplane mode to get rid of ads, and it's also simple to set dns, the screen is honestly twice as good and the 144hz is beautiful.
Genesin at 80fps with one setting down vs the ipad which can do max 60 and it's not even a competition, even at max setting the ipad is only 2-5fps better in extreme cases but that's really only with genesin, with any other game you won't be able to use the power as the legion can push well over 60 and the ipad is limited.
The legion is better at
Gaming
Feel
Battery life
Content consumption
General use
Open system to do anything
Mini 6 is better at
Drawing
Rendering 4k videos
The feel is honestly the same, this dude is just an apple shill
While i do 100% agree that the ipad pro is the absolute best tablet without comparison, you take a real F for even suggesting that the mini is compatible to the legion y700 2023.
I don’t why you’re so butthurt. He doesn’t sound like a shill at all. The whole TH-cam adblock thing is an ios vs android thing. Ipad mini is a couple years old at this point while Lenovo y700 just launched. The biggest issue with lenovo is no global version which means you have to import it using ali express with a custom firmware and risk it having some kind of malware and having no official support for updates (I think).
This means you cant use the lenovo for anything finance related, no bank apps, credit card information etc, so no shopping, surfing the web logged into your accounts etc, even connecting it to your gamepass account would seem risky.
I already own a Mini but I just can't stand IOS, android for life just purchased the Lenovo
which one do you prefer?
I have Ipad Mini but I can't stand iOS and the storage is only 64gb
I planned to buy Y700 then sell my iPad
I'm only using it for Genshin and Game Streaming from my PC.
@@reytr21 I 100% prefer the Lenovo, I actually just sold my iPad mini Yesterday and it paid for my Lenovo tablet so I say go for it. Its powerful and lightweight and the same width but just a little longer than the iPad so I say go for it
Sadly y700 has pubg's render lag
A somewhat decent review. I love both devices but as far as it goes, LY700 is a gaming focused device rather than it's competitors. It might lack some features but in gaming, it would be the best out of all Android tablets in the market. Samsung tabs are literally big and not for gaming focus. Different purpose I suppose.
I don't care about the details if they're clean or not, when you shoot someone, you won't bother about having blurry walls, you just play and have fun. And edit the settings to make sure you'll get the proper looks that you want for the game 😂 Ipads have more bs people than Android ones.
That's the infuriating thing about Apple products. It lacks here and there, but it always comes out on top, that's why people still buy them, including me. Only Apple users would understand.
Outside the jelly scrolling I don’t see any other issue. I find a 10” screen too small for most multitasking, so don’t miss it here. And I just airdrop my work to my Mac or iPad Pro if I need it bigger. I had Samsung for a bit, and I was sold on Dex. But I never came across a situation to actually come in handy. The set up is more convoluted than switching on my Mac. On my tab s7 the 11” screen is too cramped for a desktop set up, and more niche apps I use just bug out on it.
I play around with the competition, and have a surface pro 8 in the house, but I always end up falling back to Apple for daily use. The only real problem I find with Apple that it’s boring.
I can hardly hear you, bad microphone, very muffled
Don’t you guys have a native English speaker? You sound like a cartoon character 🤣
Just get both, each one has it's own features. It sure beats holding an 11 inch tablet.
Might as well get another premium lol
