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.
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.
Common Questions (5)
No. This model does not include a microSD card slot, which is a key tradeoff versus Samsung tablets and the imported Gen 4. That matters most if you store emulation files, media, or offline games on expandable storage.
Yes. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 165Hz display, and lightweight 8.8-inch size make it a strong gaming tablet, and it can run Fortnite smoothly. It is also described as a stable choice for emulation, especially if you want a compact Android device.
The Legion Tab Gen 3 is the better pick for gaming and compact size, while the Galaxy Tab S9 offers an OLED screen, microSD expansion, and Samsung features like Good Lock. For reading, streaming, and PS Remote Play, the S9 is often favored if those extras matter more than gaming performance.
Yes. The thread mentions pricing around $360.99 after Lenovo coupons, $371.99 with an ID.me discount, and additional cashback offers such as Capital One Savor or Venture on Lenovo.com. Some buyers also used AliExpress coupons plus Rakuten cashback to get similar pricing on the Gen 4.
It is currently on Android 16, and Android 17 is expected to be the last major OS update. Security support is believed to run for about four years, so it should still have some patch coverage after the final Android version.

The 8Gen 3 CPU is very old at this point. You're talking about going to an even older CPU/GPU architecture to use Windows emulator, just to play games on a weak iGPU. It's not worthwhile.
8 Gen (4) Elite, 8 Gen 5 Elite (2025), and 8 Gen 6 Elite (2026). 8 Gen 1 simply can't provide good performance/cost ratio. It's even well behind 8 Gen 2, which is already slow compared to what's available today for mobile gaming.
You have to ensure that imported Android devices are shipping with firmware that support English, and Google Play Services (needed for Play store).

granted you can pay $100 more an import the 4th generation from giz top. but a lot of people aren't comfortable importing something and again that's $100 more.
I suppose there is the risk if there's a manufacturing defect in the first 12 months that you lose some meaningful coverage but that's pretty rare. generally a manufacturing defect is not going to not likely impact your experience between them first month and the 12th month.
and there are benefits to importing for instance you get the Gen 4 version with an SD card. slightly newer model.
it just really depends. you can get some better value too like the OnePlus 15 was cheaper to import the global version than it was to actually buy it in the US by quite a few hundred dollars.
and when they are on the resale market they don't really even have a serious markdown. if you go on eBay and look for it Gen 3 Lenovo legion tab used it would probably not be much more cheaper than this.
I think the bigger question is whether or not you be better off going to giz top or something and importing the Gen 4.
Pretty disappointing, because despite that issue, was a really nice tablet. I really liked the form factor too. Wish Samsung would would make a high-end smaller screen tablet. What they have are just oversized and too heavy for my use case.
