GoSolo Verdict
The Legion Y700 AI is a large 8.4-inch tablet with flagship silicon, a smooth 165Hz display, and stylus support, aimed at creators and gamers willing to pay 700 EUR for a device that refuses to slim down. At 298g it's genuinely heavy for its class, and the camera setup is embarrassingly basic for the price.
Strengths · 4
- 8.4-inch 165Hz IPS LCD with 4000 nits peak brightness and Dolby Vision—excellent for media and gaming without the burn-in risk of OLED.
- Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and up to 24GB RAM ensure this tablet handles demanding workloads and multitasking without stuttering.
- Stylus support and microSD slot (up to 1TB) offer real utility for creators and users who want expandable, flexible storage.
- 7470 mAh battery is large enough for two days of moderate use, or a full day of heavy gaming and content creation.
Trade-offs · 3
- 298g is notably heavy for an 8.4-inch tablet—rivals like the iPad mini weigh 200–250g, making this a genuine endurance issue for one-handed hold.
- Single 50MP main camera with no ultrawide, macro, or zoom lens is stingy for a 700 EUR device; the 8MP selfie camera rounds out a camera suite that feels like an afterthought.
- No charging spec disclosed, and at 700 EUR you expect fast charging as standard; unclear if this is 68W (the data hints) or less, which would be slow by 2026 tablet standards.
