The Lenovo Legion Y700 is an Android tablet designed for gamers, with an 8.8 inch, 2560 x 1600 pixel, 120 Hz LCD display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage. It launched in China in February and started shipping globally (via third-party sellers) in April.

My gods Brad, you scared me for a moment there. I just got my Chinese y700 (12GB/256GB version) on Friday and for a moment I thought it had become obsolete the day after I got it. Thankfully that’s not the case. The premium versions also seem to be more expensive so I’m still happy with my purchase (it even supports Google play, games, chrome, etc. Without finagling)
