Lenovo has revealed that its upcoming Legion Y700 gaming tablet will achieve an AnTuTu benchmark score of 4,532,189 points, powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. The compact 8.8-inch (22.4 cm) tablet significantly outperforms Samsung's flagship Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, which scores around 2.5 million points with its MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset. The Y700 will pair the flagship processor with LPDDR5T RAM running at speeds up to 10,667Mbps and UFS 4.1 Pro storage, with configurations reaching up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage.
The tablet features an 8.8-inch (22.4 cm) display with a resolution of 3,040 x 1,904 pixels and a 165Hz refresh rate. Lenovo has equipped the device with a 9,000mAh battery supporting 68W fast charging and a 50MP rear camera. The company has also teased AI-powered features including Voiceprint Hunter 2.0 for audio enhancements.
For open-source enthusiasts, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset brings same-day upstream Linux kernel support covering core SoC functionality including CPUs, USB, storage controllers, and connectivity. However, full device-level Linux installation on the Y700 itself will depend on bootloader policy and community porting efforts. Previous Y700 generations have attracted active development communities on XDA Forums, with beta LineageOS builds available for the 2023 model and users successfully running Debian-based Linux desktop environments on rooted Android installations.
The Legion Y700 is expected to launch in China in March 2026, while international markets may see the device released as the Legion Tab Gen 5. Pricing and exact availability dates have not yet been announced.
