If you’re looking for a new gaming tablet, Lenovo might be working on something that’ll catch your eye. According to a new leak, Lenovo is preparing a refresh of the Legion Y700 gaming tablet, and the new version will come with subtle, but meaningful upgrades. Here’s what we know.
The leak originates from Digital Chat Station, and as is often the case with leaks such as this, it’s a short message that’s just jam-packed with information. Although not specifically pointed out by name, the leak is most likely talking about the Lenovo Legion Y700, or rather whatever follows that tablet. The Y700 is still a fresh release, having launched in September 2024, but Lenovo might already have something better up its sleeve. As always with leaks, keep in mind that none of this is confirmed until Lenovo itself says so.
The new tablet, said to be aimed at esports gamers, is said to ditch the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip in favor of the Snapdragon 8 Elite. This alone should give it a nice boost to performance, as the Snapdragon 8 Elite has a faster and better CPU and GPU; some sources claim it’s up to 45% faster than the Gen 3.
Next, we’ve got a boost to battery life, and who doesn’t like that? Last year’s Y700 sports a 6550 mAh battery, and although it’s not clear what the new model will bring, it should have a larger battery, all the while offering a thinner frame.
The leaker also pointed out that the new Lenovo Legion tablet would come with dual speakers and dual X-axis monitors. The screen size is said to stay the same at 8.8 inches.
When is this new tablet set to come out? Hard to say, and the leaker didn’t specify. Notebookcheck tentatively mentions that it’ll arrive in the second quarter of 2025, which would be less than a year after the release of the Y700.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
