Lenovo Y700 Infinite Hits 4.58M AnTuTu But Battery May Shrink

Lenovo just posted a 4,585,844 AnTuTu score for its Legion Y700 Infinite gaming tablet, beating recent RedMagic Astra 2 averages, with the full China unveil locked for August 25. The 8.4-inch OLED model adds 5G and a confirmed 6.5 mm, 298 g body that previous Y700s never matched.

A fresh leak from tipster Panda is Bald points to a 7,500 mAh battery and 68 W charging. That would cut capacity from the prior generation and trail the main rival, creating an odd trade for a device aimed at long gaming sessions.

What Lenovo Has Already Confirmed

The company has dripped official details through Weibo teasers and a short video. The panel is an 8.4-inch OLED running at 165 Hz with peak brightness rated near 4,000 nits and symmetrical 2.89 mm bezels. A centered punch-hole houses the front camera, a change from the uninterrupted look of the LCD predecessor.

Power comes from an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Version. Prime cores reach 4.74 GHz and the GPU hits 1.3 GHz, above the standard silicon’s roughly 4.61 GHz and 1.2 GHz. That tuning produced the headline AnTuTu number, which sits clear of the Astra 2’s recent monthly chart range of about 4.16 million to 4.30 million.

• Display: 8.4-inch OLED, 165 Hz, ~2.5K, 2.89 mm bezels, punch-hole
• Chipset: Overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading, AnTuTu 4,585,844
• Body: 6.5 mm thick, 298 g, 5G with dual-SIM plus eSIM
• Launch: China only so far, August 25 2026

RAM and storage configs are expected to top out near 24 GB and 1 TB, matching the high end of the current lineup. Cooling details remain sparse, though earlier Legion vapor-chamber systems have held up under load.

How the Numbers Stack Against Rivals

The Infinite sits between its own Gen 5 sibling and the RedMagic Astra 2 on paper. Size drops, weight drops hard, and cellular arrives for the first time in the Y700 series. Refresh rate stays at 165 Hz while the rival pushes 185 Hz on a larger panel.

The Legion Tab Gen 5 ships with a 9000mAh battery and dual USB-C ports plus Legion ColdFront vapor cooling. It starts at $679.99 in the US. The Infinite’s thinner profile and OLED contrast come at the expense of that cell size if the leak holds. The Astra 2 counters with active fan cooling and faster charging but stays tethered to Wi-Fi.

The Body That Finally Feels Portable

Lenovo spent earlier teasers hammering the dimensions. At 6.5 mm and 298 g the Infinite undercuts both the Gen 5 and the Astra 2 by a noticeable margin in the hand. Symmetrical bezels and the high screen-to-body ratio aim at immersive landscape play without the bulk that made prior gaming tablets feel like mini laptops.

• Confirmed 6.5 mm thickness, lighter than most phones with similar batteries
• 298 g total mass, roughly 50-60 g under the Gen 5
• Multi-antenna 5G layout tuned for both portrait and landscape grips so signal stays stable when thumbs cover the edges
• RGB Legion halo lighting on the rear that can sync with gameplay
• 50 MP rear camera carried over in leaks, plus dual high-power speakers expected

That combination turns the device into something you can pocket in a light bag or hold for hours without fatigue. Earlier Y700 models stayed home more often because of weight and the Wi-Fi leash.

Battery Leak Versus Gaming Reality

Panda is Bald’s post, cited across Notebookcheck and Gizmochina, is the source of the 7,500 mAh and 68 W figures. Lenovo has not confirmed either number. If accurate, capacity falls 1,500 mAh from the Gen 5 and trails the Astra 2’s 8,300 mAh. Charging speed also sits behind the rival’s 75 W.

What We Know

• Gen 5 official capacity is 9,000 mAh with 68 W wired and bypass charging
• Astra 2 ships 8,300 mAh and 75 W with bypass
• OLED panels often draw more power at high brightness than IPS
• Overclocked silicon can raise peak draw even if efficiency improves

What’s Unconfirmed

• Exact Infinite battery capacity and charge rate
• Whether bypass charging returns
• Real-world hours under sustained high-FPS loads
• Any software or thermal limits Lenovo adds to protect the smaller cell

Bypass charging, if present, would still let players keep the tablet plugged in without thrashing the battery during marathon sessions. Efficiency gains from the newer process node and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 peaks at 4.74 GHz could offset some of the lost milliamp-hours. Still, hardcore users who push max settings for hours will notice a shorter leash compared with the Gen 5’s proven endurance.

Why 5G Changes the Use Case

Previous Legion tablets and the Astra 2 stay on Wi-Fi. The Infinite adds dual physical SIM plus eSIM support and a redesigned antenna array. That detail matters more than the raw score for anyone who games on trains, in parks, or while traveling.

Posts circulating on X today call the cellular addition the feature nobody fully expected. A multi-antenna layout that holds signal whether the tablet sits landscape or portrait means fewer dropped connections when hands wrap the sides. Cloud streaming, multiplayer queues, and downloads no longer require a hotspot or cafe network. The device stops being a home or dorm machine and becomes a true grab-and-go console.

Trade-offs remain. The smaller panel loses some immersion against the Astra 2’s 9-inch class screen. The punch-hole interrupts the clean look some buyers preferred. And if the battery rumor sticks, pure offline local gaming sessions will end sooner. For the growing group that mixes local titles with cloud and always-on chat, the connectivity win likely outweighs those cuts.

From March Gen 5 to the August Infinite

1. March 2026, Legion Y700 Gen 5 (also called Tab Gen 5) launches in China with 8.8-inch 165 Hz IPS, standard Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, 9,000 mAh, 360 g, Wi-Fi only. US pricing settles near $680.
2. June-July 2026, RedMagic Astra 2 arrives with larger 185 Hz OLED, active cooling fan, 8,300 mAh, still Wi-Fi only. Digital Chat Station and others begin floating Infinite specs including OLED and 5G.
3. Early August 2026, Lenovo Weibo teasers lock 6.5 mm thickness, 298 g weight, 2.89 mm bezels and confirm the overclocked chipset.
4. August 11-12 2026, Official AnTuTu score of 4,585,844 drops; Panda is Bald battery leak surfaces the same day window.
5. August 25 2026, Full China unveil expected to settle name variants (Infinite / Ultimate / Unlimited translations have all appeared), final battery, pricing and any global plans.

The Y700 Gen 5 full specifications list 9000 mAh and no cellular. The Infinite fixes the two loudest complaints about that model-no OLED and no mobile data-while shrinking everything else. That pattern matches Lenovo’s recent habit of spinning specialized variants rather than waiting a full year for a numbered refresh.

August 25 Will Settle the Trade-Offs

Pricing, exact memory SKUs, camera confirmation, and the battery number itself remain open. Global availability is also unclear; the Gen 5 reached the US but many China-first Legion tablets stay regional. Reviewers will immediately test sustained frame rates, thermals under the higher clocks, and real hours on the OLED at 165 Hz.

If the 7,500 mAh figure is real, Lenovo is betting that thinner mass, better contrast, higher peak performance and true cellular freedom matter more to its core buyers than absolute runtime. The AnTuTu lead already shows the silicon can deliver. Whether the complete package feels like a step forward or a compromised special edition will be clear two weeks from now when the covers come off.
