Legion Tab Gen 5 (8.8" Snapdragon) tablet

Is it that hard to say what it is?

This is an amazing tablet. Small enough to put on side joysticks. Powerful enough to play any emulation... but I am sure you will need to wait for mature emulation SD drivers. Don't get me wrong, this tablet can be for anyone who wants a small form factor and this model has SnapDragon's fastest CPU/GPU.

There were rumors that Lenovo was going to have a OLED screen for this tablet... that is not the case. Until recently, Lenovo was the only player with super high end small form factor gaming tablet but that is no longer the case.

IMHO, the world leader for small form factor gaming tablets is... drum roll please....

ZTE REDMAGIC ASTRA GAMING TABLET.

And their newest model is suppose to be out some time this month and this model will be called "ASTRA 2". This tablet IMHO, is superior due to the OLED screen, more nits (like 3x more), less bloatware, less spyware and Redmagic is the only tablet manufacturer that has a sealed fan that moves liquid around your tablet to cool it down and it works pretty good. I personally have the older model and it is my favorite tablet I have ever owned.

I got my tablet for $500ish in July 2025 and it came with a 80watt fast charger (pre sale bonus)... not sure what the prices will be this time. I know they just opened pre sales in China... global market is usually a few weeks later.

ZTE Redmagic Astro Gaming Tablet got sold out in a few days after the pre sale went live in July 2025... they did a second manufacturer run and that also got sold out in a few days.

ZTE's RedMagic US website is... https://redmagic.tech

I would praise their phones but due to the missing US bands, I would never buy one. But their wifi tablets are winners and the price is decent IMHO..

The red magic Astra has no MicroSD slot... It's disqualified in my opinion

I bit the bullet.
Pricing Breakdown
Subtotal $849.99
Instant Savings -$150.00 (sale price)
Cart Threshold Savings
-$20.00 (email signup, or $10 for sms, did not stack)
eCoupon Savings
-$35.00 (extrafive)
Student Savings
-$33.25 (id.me used my son's student discount)
Shipping: Free
Sales Tax: $30.59
Total Price: $642.33
Total Savings: $238.25

8.8" screen, 8 Elite Gen 5 and SD card slot were key selling points. Red Magic Astra looks good too, with some tradeoffs and it's not in stock.
