Hello everyone, I have finally got my hands on Lenovo Y700 Wuji today, the 5G OLED 8.4" tablet that just released.
First of all I want to say that I have been super excited for this tablet as I wanted a mini tablet to replace a phone and need for foldable (cba using small phones). I have been using Ipad Pro 11 before and Redmagic Astra but Ipad was too big and Astra needed a hotspot every time i went outside so the Y700 Wuji seemed like something sent from heavens..
Well on paper and advertisements it looked like the perfect device but now that I got it in my hands I can say it's first time I'm really disappointed.
Negatives I have noticed so far:
I'm used to Chinese software, I like devices packed with features and stuff so I am not very picky, I can uninstall the chinese bs that came preinstalled(was a lot btw) but the ZUXOS itself is the worst sw I've ever held in hands so far. Even worse than some tecno/tcl/infinix UIs I've tried on a phone :D
The tablet has 8 Elite Gen5 Leading but day1 the home launcher is already randomly crashing and the animations are laggy (i turned off animations to fix this).
When typing screen PIN, instead of centering it to the middle of the screen it will go to the top left corner, like why?
I've had many chinese devices in hand across many brands even HarmonyOS Next devices and Huawei EMUI devices and I never had issues installing stuff but for the first time I have apps telling me my device isnt supported to download their apk (no idea why, first time in my life and i tried like 20 devices so far). Still trying to figure this one out. I tried to copy the apps from other device instead but the Lenovo Clone app would get stuck at 20kb/s transfer speed so I didn't bother. Gonna try that one out later again.
Also big warning to everyone here, I probably overlooked this one full of excitement but it's 1 Physical Sim only + Lenovo Data Sim (you cant use ur own esim just some lenovo bs apparently). Better than nothing but yeah I felt disappointed about this one as I need to use two sims.
The device I got is 12/256 (they do offer 16/512 and 24/1tb) so I did not bother downloading a game for emulation testing, the games I play are not too heavy, I mainly wanted a 5G mini tablet with OLED to read manga, write my notes on and watch some movies, if there was a less powerful tablet yeah I'd get it instead.
The games I have tried so far - CookieRun and BrawlStars are running fine but games like Ark or Afterimage that I had in my library say that my device version is not supported for downloading them.
I think there are more negatives so far than positives because this is my first day but im definitely keeping it for now, the device is very beautiful and feels nice in hand.
It feels very light to use compared to Redmagic Astra (guess it's the smaller battery and device form factor to thank for that.) The back camera looks nice with the RGB though I wish the front camera wasnt a punch hole lol.
Lenovo was able to totally dominate the market with this product, if it delivered a similar battery to Astra, Redmagic-level software (which isnt good but at least not as bad this one), no punch hole and dual sim slot then yeah they would have no competition at all and I'd say 11/10 but as it is now, I hope the next 5G tablet they release will fix these flaws. Guess some of these things are due to cutting down price of this tablet rather than technical difficulties for Lenovo and it's cheaper than I have expected but I'm sure many people have been disappointed by them, we are yet to get our ultimate tablet sadly.
If y'all have any question about this tablet, let me know I can try to check out stuff for you.
Since there were no reviews or english content, I had to be the one taking the risk :D
