When it comes to small-screen tablets, the hottest at the moment is the iPad mini 6, but when it comes to Android, there seems to be no small-size tablet that can be taken. However, this situation is about to change now, lenovo recently launched the Savior Tablet Y700 product, which has a small and portable body. And, from Lenovo's product line of classifying it as a savior, it also lets us know that this is a tablet for positioning games. Because of its small size and excellent performance, it has become a very rare presence in the recent Android tablet, so let's take a look at its performance.
Appearance: 8.8 inch small screen
Compactness is the first impression of this tablet, and the one-handed size does make it very portable. At the same time, for the positioning of its game, the smaller size also has a more comfortable control experience. It turns out that in the process of actual experience, whether it is one-handed holding in the vertical screen state or holding with both hands when playing horizontal screen, the Rescuer Y700 has a very good grip feeling.
The entire fuselage adopts a very square design, although the positioning of the game tablet, and even put into the rescuer product line, but the entire tablet is still a simple design, without adding the exaggerated lines or RGB elements common to game phones, which makes it very suitable even for daily use.
What I want to say here is that the place where the middle frame of the tablet is combined with the back is overly natural, and the feel is also very comfortable. But close to the side of the screen, the processing is slightly unnatural, if the edge chamfer can be more rounded, I believe that the whole tablet will feel more flattering.
On the front, the Y700 features an 8.8-inch LCD screen that supports a 120Hz refresh rate. At the same time, the screen also has a very good quality, the resolution is 2560x1600, the PPI is 343; 500 nits peak brightness, covering 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, support HDR10. Excellent screen performance, so that it in the game as far as, used to chase the drama to watch movies, is also a good choice.
On the interface, the Y700 retains a very advanced 3.5mm audio interface, which is very practical whether it is playing games or chasing scenes. In addition, this time Y700 is equipped with a full-featured USB 3.1 Gen2 interface, which has always been the advantage of Lenovo tablet, the use of full-featured interface benefits, in addition to transferring large files, but also to achieve wired screen projection, which can also bring a better experience to the tablet.
The Savior Y700 is equipped with JBL's dual speakers this time, supporting Dolby Atmos, and the position of the speakers has also been adjusted to ensure that when holding the tablet game horizontally, the hands will not block the speakers, affecting the experience.
Configuration: Snapdragon 870, balance of performance and power consumption
In terms of hardware configuration, the Rescuer Y700 is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor and a 12GB LPDDR5+256GB UFS 3.1 storage combination, which is a very balanced combination for the game. Although in terms of performance, the Snapdragon 870 is slightly deficient compared to the Snapdragon 888 and the latest Snapdragon 8, but its better power consumption is also praised by many users.
Another thing to say is that compared to mobile phones, the tablet itself has its advantages, that is, the larger volume can provide better passive heat dissipation. On this basis, the rescuer Y700 also joined a large area of VC heat dissipation module, the total heat dissipation area reached 45357.7mm, VC vapor plate area up to 8500 + mm, which can be said to completely tap the performance limit of Snapdragon 870.
The common running score test also said the excellent performance of Y700 very well, you can see that the antu rabbit running score came to 71W+, and Master Lu also reached 84W+, which is a very good performance for an Android game tablet.
In addition, the 3D Mark stress test also reflects its stability well, and after 20 rounds of testing, the stability reached 99.3%, which is also very good.
As for the actual game experience, it also has a very good performance. The first is the original god, 30 minutes of testing, the average frame rate reached 55.2, it can be said that it is a very good experience. And from the frame rate curve, it can be seen that during this 30-minute game, the frame rate before and after was basically maintained at more than 50 frames, and there was no decrease in frame rate due to long-term games and temperature increases.

At the same time, we also recorded the temperature change on the back of the fuselage before and after the game, after half an hour of "Original God" test, the temperature of the highest point on the back of the fuselage came to 41.7 ° C, an increase of about 16 ° C, you can see that Y700 is indeed very good in heat dissipation.
Peace Elite frame rate performance
Glory of Kings frame rate performance
In addition, other common games, such as "Peace Elite" and "Glory of the King", also have stable performance, for the needs of the game, the performance of this level, Y700 is qualified.
Game Optimization: Not just high brushes
Small size, coupled with excellent performance, the savior Y700 is already quite brilliant in the game experience, but on this basis, Lenovo also brings it a lot of optimizations in order to further enhance its gaming experience.
Full-screen field of view effect
Field of view mode effect
For example, the field of vision during the game, although it is a small size tablet, but compared to the mobile phone, the screen is still much larger, naturally it is to play its advantages in the game vision. To this end, Lenovo has added a field of view mode this time, which can change the screen display scale of the game to obtain a wider map, and this function has been adapted to the two games of "Glory of kings" and "League of Legends".
In the game assistant, such as one-click overclocking, high-energy recordback, small window reply and other functions, but also the current game phone is a very common function, here is not too much to expand.
It is worth mentioning that this time the Savior Y700 is also equipped with a dual X-axis linear motor, which also makes it the first tablet to adopt this configuration. At the same time, Y700 also added a game dual-domain on-site vibration mode, which is currently adapted to games such as "Glory of the King", "Peace Elite", "QQ Flying Car" and so on.
Watching drama: An immersive experience with double Dolby
Of course, in addition to games, chasing dramas and watching movies can also be regarded as a high-frequency application scenario for tablet users. This time the Savior Y700 supports Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision, plus dual JBL speakers, and 2K resolution, the viewing effect is naturally not said.

The actual measurement can be seen that whether it is Tencent Video's Zhencai audio-visual, iQiyi's frame-like picture, or Youku's frame-sharing video, it can be opened, of course, the Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision of Station B can also be opened normally after recognizing the corresponding resources. Even if you don't play games, purely as a video entertainment tablet, the Savior Y700 is also a good choice.
Endurance: 6550mAh large battery
Finally, let's talk about the endurance performance, the volume of the tablet can be well stuffed with a large-capacity battery, so the rescuer Y700 is equipped with a 6550mAh large battery and supports 45W fast charging. The actual test saw that it took 54 minutes to charge from 2% to 99%, and the peak power also reached 41W, which is still a good performance.
For game scenarios, it also provides bypass charging, the power supply can bypass the battery directly to power the tablet, which is more friendly to the life of the battery, and can also reduce the impact of battery heating when charging, which has an impact on performance.
Write at the end:
Apple after the launch of the iPad mini 6, the market's enthusiastic response also shows the user's demand for small size tablets, and in the Android market is the lack of such a product, fortunately Lenovo this time to fill this gap. The small size of 8.8 inches, very reasonable control of the size and weight of the tablet, brings better portability, thrown into the bag can be taken out, after all, thrown into the bag can be taken out, is a good tablet. At the same time, the small size also brings a better control experience, which is more suitable for scenes such as games.
The Snapdragon 870, as well as the combination of 12GB of memory, is a good consideration of the performance of the tablet, long time game, still smooth at the same time, will not be due to overheating and stuttering, so that users can better immerse themselves in the game. If you have to say the disadvantages, the failure to launch a cellular version may be a pity.
