Lenovo has packed some seriously powerful gaming specs into a sleek 8.8-inch design with the Legion Tab Gen 3. Equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and a 6,550 mAh battery, this gaming tablet delivers solid gaming performance and respectable battery life.
The Legion Tab has a fairly standard tablet design that won’t turn heads, but the 2560 x 1600 pixel LCD display with a 165Hz refresh rate will make your games look great. One of the best quality of life features on this gaming tablet is the fact that it actually has two USB-C ports built into its chassis: a USB 2.0 port on the left side of the device that supports 65W chargers, and a USB 3.0 port on the bottom that lets you connect it to an external display. It’s a real blessing to have such a portable device with the ability to connect to a larger screen when you sit down to play at home, and this feature sets the Legion Tab Gen 3 apart from its competitors.
The base configuration is priced at $550, which is a solid price for a gaming tablet, especially if you can’t find a RedMagic Astra and don’t want to wait for the new version. The upcoming Legion Tab Gen 5 release. The Legion Tab offers a larger screen than the iPad Mini at a lower price, with slightly older but still high-performance processing capabilities. The Legion Tab Gen 3 won’t compete with the RedMagic Astra when it comes to performance or battery life, but it’s a close race. And while the Legion Tab Gen 3 isn’t as small as the iPad Mini, it’s certainly more portable than the 9.1-inch RedMagic Astra.
If you’re looking for a gaming tablet, the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 might be the most accessible option right now. But if you can hang on a little longer, the Legion Tab Gen 5 will be a technological leap forward for Lenovo’s gaming tablet.
Why we love it: The Legion Tab Gen 3 is a great “middle of the road” gaming tablet. It’s older than other gaming tablets we’ve reviewed, but the processing power and performance still hold up for some of the best games to play on the go.
Who is it best for: If you are a gamer, there are several reasons why you might miss RedMagic Astra. It may not be currently available in your market. You may have been shut down due to RedMagic not complying with operating system security updates. Either way, the Legion Tab Gen 3 is the next best thing in the gaming tablet space, with older hardware still respectably powerful. It’s also a very portable device to boot.
Who shouldn’t buy it: If you’re looking for the best-performing gaming tablet on the market, you can do better than the Legion Tab Gen 3. This is a high-performance budget option, but it’s outperformed by other gaming tablets we’ve reviewed.
