Savior Y700: This is a tablet full of “entertainment skill points”

From the earliest content consumption tool to a content production tool, tablet computers are developing in the direction of “office” and “productivity”. However, in the eyes of many consumers, tablet computers are still a product with strong entertainment attributes. It has become the norm for many people to come home after a busy day and turn on their tablets to watch TV shows and play mobile games.

However, from the perspective of “entertainment”, the experience of tablet computers on the market seems to be unsatisfactory. Because of the large size of these tablets, many users cannot hold them for a long time, which also limits the use scenarios to a certain extent.

Savior Y700

What about “small screen tablets”? I think many people will think of iPad mini. In fact, in the field of Android, we have a good new choice, which is Lenovo’s newly launched Savior Y700 gaming tablet. As an offline device of the “Savior” product, it is full of gaming genes, and this tablet is also a leader in the field of small-screen tablets in terms of appearance design, screen, performance, etc.

The metal middle frame + frosted back panel are more textured

From the perspective of appearance design, the overall shape of the Savior Y700 is very consistent with our perception of a “small-sized tablet”. Its overall size is similar to the iPad mini, and it feels slightly heavy in the hand. The borders on both sides of the screen are narrow, and the overall measurements are controlled within a reasonable range. In addition, the Savior Y700 uses a CNC-polished aluminum alloy middle frame, and a smooth transition process is made at the connection between the middle frame and the back panel, which ensures that it can still have a good feel even if it is held for a long time.

The back panel of the Savior Y700 is treated with AG matte process, and the surface also has a light metallic luster. The back panel treated with AG process not only feels better in the hand, but is also less likely to leave fingerprints. Moreover, the words “LEGION” and “Lenovo” are printed on the back of the Savior Y700, which is full of elements of the Savior series.

During this period of time, I prefer the button layout design of the Savior Y700. Since we often need to hold it horizontally, the Savior Y700 places the power button, volume button, and frame rate floating display dial button on the top of the fuselage, while placing the seldom-used TF card slot below the fuselage. This layout ensures that the keys are not blocked when the device is held horizontally.

This is a tablet full of “entertainment skill points”

If I were to define the Savior Y700 tablet, it would be a tablet that puts all its skill points into “entertainment”. Compared with some large-sized tablets, the Savior Y700 is less burdensome to hold. Such a small-sized tablet can be placed in a small bag without any problem, so it is easier for users to carry it with them. It has become a frequently used “second screen” in addition to mobile phones.

Whether you are watching TV shows or playing mobile games, a high-quality screen is a must-have. This time the Savior Y700 uses an 8.8-inch 16:10 LCD screen with a resolution of 2560×1600 and a ppi of 343. And on this basis, the screen brightness and color gamut performance of the Savior Y700 are quite good. Its screen has a maximum brightness of 500 nits, and it also achieves 100% P3 color gamut coverage. At the same time, support for HDR10 and Dolby Vision can also ensure a better screen look and feel when watching movies.

Sliding screen has no “jelly effect”

Of course, another highlight of the Savior Y700 tablet is that the screen supports a high refresh rate of 120Hz and a touch sampling rate of 240Hz. From the perspective of sliding experience, the high refresh rate allows the Savior Y700 to bid farewell to the “jelly effect” when the screen slides. At the same time, the Savior has also adapted high refresh rates for mainstream mobile games such as “Peace Elite” and “League of Legends”, which also allows us to see full gaming genes in this tablet.

“Super vision” function

Many players use tablets to play mobile games in order to obtain a wider screen field of view and more immersive visual effects. In order to enhance the player's gaming experience, the Savior 700 has specially created a super-field-of-view function. This feature helps players gain a wider view of the game by changing the screen display ratio of the game. For example, in “Honor of Kings”, we can choose modes such as full screen or ultra-wide field of view. The ultra-wide field of view can force the game screen to a 21:9 ratio, and supports two different modes: center and bottom, allowing users to choose according to their own preferences.

In terms of hardware selection, the Savior Y700 chose the more mature and stable Snapdragon 870 chip, coupled with 12GB of LPDDR5 memory and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. There may be many users who have doubts about the Snapdragon 870 chip, but based on our past experience and actual use experience, the Snapdragon 870 is indeed a more suitable chip. First of all, its performance is enough to satisfy current mainstream mobile games, and it is not as “irritable” as Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. It can ensure that the body does not heat up after running games for a long time. After actual measurement, after using the Savior Y700 to run a high frame rate game of “Peace Elite”, the maximum temperature on the back of the fuselage was 38.3°C, and the heat control was quite good. Moreover, the frame rate throughout the game is also very stable, with the average frame rate as high as 89.5FPS, almost forming a straight line.

Of course, proper heat control also benefits from the large-area heat dissipation module inside the Savior Y700. Official data shows that the internal area of ​​this tablet is as high as 45357.7mm.²heat dissipation module, and the area of ​​VC vapor chamber has also reached more than 8500mm.²which can easily suppress the Snapdragon 870.

The Savior Y700 AnTuTu score reaches 720,000

It reached 4223 points in 3DMark Wild Life scene.

We also used several benchmark testing software to test the Savior Y700. Under the measured room temperature environment, the AnTuTu score of the Savior Y700 reached 720,000 points, and it reached 4223 points in the Wild Life scene of 3DMark, which is in line with the level of the Snapdragon 870.

The Savior Y700 is equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack

In terms of improving the entertainment experience, the Savior Y700 is undoubtedly a very sincere product. It is equipped with JBL super linear large-amplitude dual speakers, and when held horizontally, the position of the dual speakers is just right so that they are not blocked by your hands. If you like to wear headphones, the Savior Y700 is also equipped with a 3.5mm headphone port for easy connection of your own headphones.

The Savior Y700 supports high-quality touch

It is worth mentioning that the Savior Y700 is even equipped with dual X-axis linear motors. As competing products, all iPads, including the mini 6, do not have X-axis linear motors. When playing games in landscape orientation, the left and right motors will provide different vibrations, greatly enhancing the physical feel of the game. In addition to games, the dual X-axis linear motors can also provide good tactile feedback in scenarios such as volume adjustment and text input.

Turn on “Bypass Charging”

Judging from my current daily use environment, the 6550mAh battery + 45W fast charge used by the Savior Y700 can meet the battery life requirements of serious gamers. If you play games at home, you can also turn on “bypass charging” during the game. After turning on this function, the power supply will not charge the battery, but directly supply power to the tablet, which can also reduce the heating of the tablet and bring better performance release.

Built-in ZUI 13

Like other Lenovo tablets, the Savior Tablet Y700 is also equipped with the ZUI 13 system based on Android 11. On this basis, the Savior tablet has added functions such as the Savior field and the Savior assistant that focus on gaming experience.

Tuning in “Realm of the Savior”

The “Savior Realm” is somewhat similar to the “Game Space”. Players can set game-related functions in the Savior Realm, including high-energy playback, ultra-wide field of view and other functions, all of which can be adjusted in the Savior Realm. When running a game, just swipe down from the top of the screen to open the “Savior Assistant”. We can choose different game modes such as energy saving, balanced, beast, etc. in the Savior Assistant. We can also fully maximize the GPU performance in the GPU settings to improve the gaming experience.

Privacy Shield

In addition to various optimizations specially created for players, ZUI 13 itself also has many functions specially created for tablets. For example, parallel windows, computer mode, etc. greatly enhance the experience of using horizontal screens. In addition, in terms of privacy protection, ZUI 13 also has the “Privacy Shield” function, which can block applications from using cameras, microphones and positioning from the hardware layer, effectively preventing sneak shots, secret recordings and location tracking.

The birth of a compact entertainment tablet

When tablet computers are heading towards “productivity”, we can't help but ask:

“Is there a tablet that can allow us to fully embrace entertainment?”

Now, the Savior Y700 is a great answer. Its positioning is quite clear. It is a “compact entertainment tablet” for more players. It has a 120Hz high refresh rate LCD screen of moderate size and good appearance. It also has a built-in refreshing and stable Snapdragon 870. Coupled with hardware blessings such as a large VC heat sink, JBL dual speakers, dual X-axis linear motors, etc., the Savior Y700 is well qualified for the role of “entertainment tablet”.

Savior Y700

Of course, I hope that the Savior team can bring us a version that supports cellular networks in the future, breaking away from the shackles of the “network” in exchange for always being connected. I believe that the use scenarios of the Savior Y700 will also be further expanded.
