However, Lenovo is determined not to give up on the idea. The company has now officially teased its next-generation Lenovo Legion Y700, offering a closer look at the device\u2019s design ahead of its expected debut this year.<\/p>\n<p>The teasers were shared on Weibo (via NotebookCheck), where Lenovo posted promotional images showing the tablet in both black and white finishes. In the accompanying text, Lenovo refers to the device as the \u201cLenovo AI Tablet Legion Y700,\u201d with the AI part feeling almost obligatory in 2026. Visually, the rear design keeps things fairly clean, with a single camera module and a circular RGB ring light beneath it as a gaming-centric flourish.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Gh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"calc(min(calc(100vw - 1.875rem), 51.25rem) \/ 2)\" title=\"Lenovo AI Tablet Legion Y700 White\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Lenovo-AI-Tablet-Legion-Y700-White.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Lenovo-AI-Tablet-Legion-Y700-White-35w-64h.jpg 35w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Lenovo-AI-Tablet-Legion-Y700-White-583w-1080h.jpg 583w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Lenovo-AI-Tablet-Legion-Y700-White-466w-864h.jpg 466w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Lenovo-AI-Tablet-Legion-Y700-White-205w-380h.jpg 205w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Lenovo-AI-Tablet-Legion-Y700-White-647w-1200h.jpg 647w\" alt=\"Lenovo AI Tablet Legion Y700 White\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Lenovo-AI-Tablet-Legion-Y700-White.jpg\"\/><img class=\"e_Gh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"calc(min(calc(100vw - 1.875rem), 51.25rem) \/ 2)\" title=\"Lenovo AI Tablet Legion Y700 Black\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Lenovo-AI-Tablet-Legion-Y700-Black.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Lenovo-AI-Tablet-Legion-Y700-Black-35w-64h.jpg 35w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Lenovo-AI-Tablet-Legion-Y700-Black-583w-1080h.jpg 583w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Lenovo-AI-Tablet-Legion-Y700-Black-466w-864h.jpg 466w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Lenovo-AI-Tablet-Legion-Y700-Black-205w-380h.jpg 205w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Lenovo-AI-Tablet-Legion-Y700-Black-647w-1200h.jpg 647w\" alt=\"Lenovo AI Tablet Legion Y700 Black\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Lenovo-AI-Tablet-Legion-Y700-Black.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Lenovo was light on\u00a0<span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px\">details in the teasers, but a separate\u00a0Weibo post from well-known leaker Digital Chat Station fills in some\u00a0<\/span>key blanks. According to the tipster, the Legion Y700 will once again focus on a compact form factor, featuring an 8.8-inch LCD with a sharp 3K resolution and a fast 165Hz refresh rate. Performance is expected to be a major selling point, with the tablet reportedly powered by Qualcomm\u2019s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Gh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Gh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Other claimed specs include a sizable 9,000mAh battery and a 50MP single rear camera, paired with the same RGB ring light seen in Lenovo\u2019s official images.
