Previously popular at ~A$382.50 and now back for an all time low. While this is not the latest Y700 series tablet, it still offers high end specs for the price and will perform very well in gaming and media playback. This time it's available in both Black and White with the 16GB/512GB variant (black) costing US$279.57 (~A$391.23).

Featuring Android 14 with ZUI out of the box (support for 3 major upgrades), 8.8" 2560x1600 165Hz IPS display with 500nits brightness, Dolby Vision, HDR10 & 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut, 12GB or 16GB LPDDR5 RAM, 256GB or 512GB UFS 4.0 storage, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 CPU, Adreno 750 GPU, 6550mAh battery, 68W PD fast charging, JBL speakers with Dolby Atmos, inbuilt mics, 13MP + 2MP rear camera, 8MP front camera, WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.

This has two USB-C 3.2 ports with one supporting video output and the other charging/bypass charging and audio. For the Steam Deck experience I recommend getting the Lenovo Legion G9 gamepad with hall effect joysticks and connects via USB-C for zero latency.

    Everytime this pops up, I'm tempted to pick one up…

      I say the same about the 4/5th edition so I can get this sweet arcade dock that I'll never use. I'm tempted by the MANGMI AIR X every sale too, but this time it's more expensive. Not the best hardware but looks cool.

      • RichardL on 01/06/2026 - 20:31

        Ye it's all the peripherals that's tempting me (especially those Lenovo gamepads).

        I'm tempted by the MANGMI AIR X

        I was also tempted to pick one up too as it's a great budget Android handheld, but I barely use my current Android handheld haha.

          Was tempted aswell to pair up with the G9 controller/case thing. Ended up getting a legion go instead though. You can get a decent used one for about the same price as tablet + G9 controller. It's basically the same thing but with windows lol

          Already have an S8 ultra loaded with emulators. The nostalgia from old games lasts about 30mins before I get bored.

      Me too but when I asked myself what I need this for? I already got an old surface pro from company besides my work laptop, so if I need to logon do urgent requests while outside I can just carry it with me. If I need to run retro emulators, I already got a M4 Air that is capable of doing that with a bigger screen too, and I also got a RG Cubexx already, so fellow ozbargainers, please give me a strong reason if I should buy this or not ??? Oh then after buying this Y700, need to get screen protector, case and even keyboard or other accessories on top, so will be a bottomless hole …

      I bought one, it was ok, but I sold it ~3 months later. You'll have no trouble selling it for similar money on Marketplace if you change your mind.

      It's worth it if you travel a lot, or already game a lot on your phone and want that experience on a seperate device. I just decided I do very little of both at the moment.

      Steam controller though, haven't put that down since I've got it.

      I didn't keep it, but it was very good for an LCD. Even with an OLED phone and monitor for comparison, it wasn't a noticeably different experience. Maybe if you play a lot in the dark?

      Warranty difference, which is what worries me, spending over $350 on a tablet and if sh|ts happen, warranty claim can be painful, lucky everything I bought from Ali are cheap stuff and can afford to just chuck into the bin without hurt (touchwood they all so far so good still)

      • 0
      • landril on 01/06/2026 - 21:08

        My experience with warranty claims on lenovo tablets from ALI have been awful tbh they want you to do all kinds of stupid stuff like taking a video showing it doesn't turn on, then they want to receive it back, test it out and basically eff you around as much as possible (oh and did I mention they didn't accept the package to begin with and stop communicating via email?) Basically had to force paypal to refund me after nearly 8 weeks of BS.

        Fast forward months later, it came back to australia and i had my dead tablet again waiting at the post office :)

    is this better for gaming? vs Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Plus?

    • 0
    • Clear on 01/06/2026 - 20:54

      This is better for a few reasons. 8.8" is easier to hold than 12.4" and this has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 vs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Though the Samsung does have an AMOLED display making it much better quality and a winner for media playback.

      Yeah, that is the main downside… I ended up buying similar tablets (alldocube 70 mini ultra) recently when the kids' tablets had aged out of their useful lifecycle so that we could have extra media space for movies etc on the microSD card.

    Im thinking of getting this just to play Forza (via moonlight) with a G9 controller. But also tempted with Ayn Odin 2 Portal with its glorious OLED screen

    But I think I’ll get more use out of a tablet than the bulky O2P for non-gaming use

    Can someone offer their wisdom on this(+controller) vs steamdeck for mostly retro gaming?
    My old eyes might prefer 8.8inch vs steamdecks 7 inch but not sure if y700 option has other disadvantages..

    • 0
    • heef on 01/06/2026 - 23:24

      Most emulators are on Android. Especially if you cap out around GameCube/Wii, it is more than capable. It can emulate more modern systems too if you wish. Even switch, it plays a solid 8/10 games I threw at it.

      Deck has good controls, but dpad is hit or miss for some. The benefit of the Y700 is you are spoilt for choice and can change it out.

      Battery life is a lot better on the Y700. ARM makes all the difference.

      Also Steam Decks are pricey now. I'd rather a new Y700 over a used Steam Deck with a worn out battery.

        Download full ROM and attachment in this xda thread
        Unzip both, copy over the files to the ROM folder
        Use LTBox (github) and follow the steps to flash the new ROM.

          • KanTakahashi on 05/06/2026 - 14:01

            @vinni9284: CN: Basic google services included, download 1 app on CN store and it will work as usual. Better battery but also more aggressive throttling so notification will be delayed, random Chinese apps, app might random switching to Chinese language sometimes, OTA updates (manually, without CN IP it won't receive any server updates).
            EN: Google Services out of the box, less bloated, battery a bit weaker due to Google Services background, slower update, switch region also mean no OTA updates (need to do via LTBox)

      Almost doesn't feel real in something this big/thin. I wish the PayPal discount was still active, as I could have found a cheaper price somewhere. The local price of the FIFA Edition is $1499, so maybe $1399 or $1299 for the normal one when it's released.
