Rebranded Tab Extreme Launched as Lenovo Legion Y900 in China

Following up with the rumours, Lenovo has finally unveiled the Legion Y900, a highly anticipated flagship tablet, at their Spring Rescuer event. The tablet boasts a vast array of upgrades and improvements over its predecessor – the Y700. It is a rebranded version of the Tab Extreme.

Lenovo is now making it unmistakable that the tablet belongs to its gaming lineup in China by renaming it as Legion Y900. In addition, there are other Legion-branded products, such as PC’s and smartphones specifically designed for gamers. Though you don’t need high spec components to play most Android games, having top notch specs would be advantageous if using a tablet for emulation or activities requiring more power from your device.

Legion Y900 Pricing and Availability

At CES in January, Lenovo unveiled its high-end tablet: the Tab Extreme. It is expected to go on sale across the USA later this year for around $1200. In China, Lenovo has priced the Legion Y900 at 5,999 CNY (around $870). Even better, pre-ordering could bring that price down even further to an estimated 4,999 CNY ($725).
