Lenovo isn’t done with its pint-sized gaming tablet line. Fresh off the Legion Y700 (Gen 5) that arrived in March, the company has started teasing a follow-up called the Legion Y700 Infinite — and this one finally packs the connectivity that road-warrior gamers have been begging for.
The headline addition is 5G support, a first for the series. That turns the compact slate into a genuinely untethered handheld: no more hunting for Wi-Fi to keep a cloud-gaming session alive or to pull a Steam library update on the go. Lenovo has also confirmed the Infinite will move to an OLED display, ditching the LCD panel of its predecessor for punchier contrast and deeper blacks — exactly what you want when a game leans on moody lighting.
Design is getting attention too. Teaser footage shows a redesigned camera island wrapped in an RGB LED ring, the kind of flashy accent Lenovo’s Legion brand loves. The new model is also said to be more compact than the Gen 5, doubling down on the one-handed, phone-adjacent form factor that made the Y700 a cult favorite among portable gamers.
To set expectations, here’s where the current Legion Y700 (Gen 5) sits:
- Display: 8.8-inch LCD, 1904×3040 resolution
- Refresh rate: 165Hz
- Peak brightness: 800 nits
Those are strong numbers, and an OLED upgrade on the Infinite should raise the bar further — though Lenovo hasn’t yet detailed the new panel’s resolution, refresh rate or brightness. The processor, RAM and battery capacity also remain under wraps for now, so it’s best to treat the Gen 5 sheet as a rough reference point rather than a spec preview.
The Legion Y700 Infinite is set to become official in August 2026, with the launch anchored in China. Lenovo is expected to keep the teaser drip going in the run-up, so more design shots and, hopefully, hard specs should surface before the reveal.
Pricing hasn’t been announced. For context, the earlier Legion Tab Gen 5 carries a $699.99 tag — a useful yardstick, though there’s no telling yet whether 5G and OLED will push the Infinite above or below that mark.
For a category that big-name brands mostly ignore, the Y700 line has carved out a loyal niche by treating gaming tablets as serious tools rather than oversized phones. Adding 5G and OLED suggests Lenovo intends to keep that lead — and give portable gamers one fewer reason to compromise.
