Lenovo Legion Y700 Infinite: OLED 2.5K 165Hz, 5G and Snapdragon 8 Elite

Lenovo introduced the Legion Y700 Infinite compact gaming tablet with an 8.4-inch OLED display, 5G support and a special version of the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Version chip. The device is designed for mobile games: the screen operates at a frequency of up to 165 Hz, and the sensor polling frequency reaches 3400 Hz.

The tablet has two slots for SIM cards, so it can work in 5G mobile networks without being tied to Wi‑Fi. Lenovo also claims 12-bit color depth, low flicker and accurate color reproduction — features that are important not only for gaming, but also for watching videos on a compact screen.

2.5K OLED screen with brightness up to 4000 nits

The main feature of the Legion Y700 Infinite is — 8.4-inch Tianma OLED panel with a resolution of 2560×1600 pixels. The format remains convenient for a portable device: the tablet is noticeably smaller than most 11-13-inch models, but offers a high pixel density.

• Display diagonal — 8.4 inches.
• Resolution — 2560×1600 pixels, or 2.5K.
• Matrix type — OLED manufactured by Tianma.
• DCI-P3 color space coverage is 100%.
• Stated color accuracy — Delta E < 1.
• Minimum brightness — 1 nit, peak brightness — up to 4000 nits.

The screen uses Real RGB technology with independent control of RGB subpixels. This approach should make the image clearer when displaying text, interface and small game details. The OLED panel also claims 12-bit color depth and reduced flicker, which should reduce discomfort during long gaming sessions or reading.

165 Hz and sensor response up to 3400 Hz

Legion Y700 Infinite supports several display refresh modes: 165, 144, 120, 60 and 30 Hz. The user will be able to select the frequency depending on the scenario: the maximum for compatible competitive games, 60 Hz for most applications, and 30 Hz for energy saving.

• The maximum refresh rate is 165 Hz.
• Available modes: 165, 144, 120, 60 and 30 Hz.
• Always-On Display operates at a frequency of 30 Hz.
• The sensor layer polling frequency reaches 3400 Hz.
• The stated delay from touch to system response is 39 ms.

A high polling rate is especially important for shooters, racing and action games, where touch response speed is important. However, 165 Hz does not guarantee the same frame rate in every game: the final result depends on the support of the specific project and its settings.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Version and two SIM cards

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen is responsible for the performance of the tablet 5 Leading Version. Lenovo calls this modification a special version of the platform for the Legion Y700 Infinite. The remaining technical characteristics of the chip are not disclosed in the presented data.

The new product supports 5G mobile networks and is equipped with two slots for SIM cards. This sets the device apart from many gaming tablets that only offer Wi-Fi connectivity or are limited to a single SIM card. Two SIMs will allow you to use different tariffs for the Internet and calls, or switch between operators when traveling.
