This device is already 3 years old.
Lenovo is trying to trick consumers into this being a deal.
Gen 4 never made it to the U.S.
Gen 5 is supposedly U.S. bound in June.
This is not a deal, this is a low key attempt to offload old hardware and try to confuse customers into thinking they are getting a bargain.

This was almost a instant buy, but lack of SD card slot killed it for me. Great looking tablet otherwise.

Community Reviews

The Legion Tab Gen 3 is a compact 8.8 inch Android gaming tablet that stands out for snappy performance, a very good display, strong battery life, and easy portability. It is especially appealing for gaming and emulation, with Fortnite running smoothly and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 still seen as capable for Windows and mobile gaming. The main drawback is the missing microSD card slot, which matters for emulation and storage. Software support and update longevity are also a concern for some, though Lenovo's track record offers some reassurance.

  • Mobile gamers wanting a compact Android slate, because the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 runs Fortnite smoothly and the 8.8-inch size is easy to carry.

    phillipjamesbitchosen_user_name_21SpideySense27jm89

  • Readers and web browsers wanting a small tablet, because it feels like a large phone and is called a no-brainer for news, social media, and browsing.

    RyGeyechosen_user_name_21jhyman

  • Emulation players needing stable Android performance, because the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is described as especially stable for emulators.

    Meribela_SjoshuaNH

  • Android tablet shoppers who want a strong battery, because it is described as lasting far longer than comparable Samsung tablets.

    Peerless_Warrior

  • Tablet buyers who need expandable storage for offline media or emulation libraries, because this model has no microSD card slot.

    PeteyTheStrikerjwillonebarrera_jMeribela_S

  • Shoppers who expect long software support, because Lenovo's update runway is viewed as short and the tablet is expected to get only one more major OS update.

    uknowsanaGristyleRyGeye

  • Gamers who want a larger handheld screen, because the 8-inch class is considered too small for comfortable gaming.

    GreyGiraffe5236

  • Owners who need rock-solid charging hardware, because the USB-C ports can become loose and cause disconnects.

Do you think this will eventually go out of stock once the new one is released? I just can't imagine the new gen 5 ever coming down to this price.
The Gen 5 is going to be like $699 and up, probably $999+ by the time this stupid Ram-pocalypse has it's way.

I saw 256GB MicroSD cards going for like $99 on some sites. Yeah... It's absolutely nuts.

If this went back down to the $333 price from last month and then combine with $100 cb, then this could be a great deal. I don't see the Gen 5 ever coming down to this price considering the higher regular price on it.

That website ships from Asia, tariffs will raise the import cost, along with shipping.

No warranty since international variant.

Not when you factor in that the base model Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 5 is expected to cost $849. While I'm not thrilled that this will only get one more major OS update, for my use case (reading news, social media, web browsing), this was a no-brainer for $360.

Wow, thanks for letting me know. I'll stick with just the regular Lenovo website then so there's no surprises.
