Lenovo's Legion Tab Gen 5 is a compact Android gaming tablet with a sharp 8.8 inch 3K 165Hz display, strong Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 performance, and solid pen support. The included G9 case and lighter body make it feel more like a convertible gaming tablet, and the newer chip and Adreno 840 graphics are framed as a meaningful step up for emulation and Android games. The main knocks are the lack of OLED, no memory card slot, and concerns about Lenovo's update history. At $598.49, it still feels pricey, with some waiting for a drop closer to $500.

  • Tablet buyers who care about a high-refresh display for everyday use, because the 165Hz screen is a stronger fit than 60Hz alternatives.

  • People who want a small tablet with enough storage for local media and apps, because it includes a memory card slot for expansion.

  • Android tablet buyers who want stronger performance than last year's model, because the newer chip is described as faster and more efficient with a meaningful GPU gain.

  • Mobile gamers who want a compact Android tablet for console and PC emulation, because the faster chip and Adreno 840 GPU are described as well suited to gaming and emulation.

  • Shoppers who want a tablet that feels like a clear value at this price, because $598 is still described as too expensive and more interest is expected under $500.

  • People who need expandable storage without relying on a memory card slot, because this model is called out as lacking one.

  • Buyers who expect long software support, because the OS upgrades stop at Android 17 and security updates end in about three and a half years.

  • People who want a tablet for broad game compatibility, because last year's model was described as having bloatware and trouble loading some games.

Get the AYN portal 3, same CPU, 7" inches screen with built in fan and controller, and only $400
Different chip. 8 elite vs 8 elite gen 5. Not a huge difference but the 15% gpu improvement matters for some.

This is the one with no memory card slot right? That kills it IMO.
Earlier gen didn't have one, they brought it back

love the g9 case that's made for it, feels like a convertible android gaming tablet

I think the iPad was a letdown. I was planning on pre-ordering it and decided not to. This seems like the best alternative. I'm still not getting it. 😂 But the 256 iPad with a 60hz screen is $800? That is pretty crazy too.
I was waiting on the new iPad mini for over a year. But the 60 Hz screen in 2026 is laughable! Not for me..

oof only paid $50 more for the Samsung Galaxy S11 Ultra tablet 256gb 14.6" version for my wife. I know this is a 8.8" screen and some might prefer this but man this is still overprice.

Totally different products this is much higher resolution, better chip, better pen support, 66 percent more screen space while being 20 percent lighter.

Vs built in controls and active cooling on the portal.

Two totally separate use cases

Yeah unfortunately I bought last years model for a discount and my biggest problem was barely got updates, a lot of bloatware, and couldn't even play some games that I normally could on less powered devices. Perfect example was I could download fortnite but it would get stuck on the loading screen, however it could play COD just fine. If Google made a good new tablet I would recommend that because I did love the pixel tablet, however now I can only recommend Samsung since they're the only ones trying doing it the right way with updates.

Still too expensive for what this is. Under $500 is when this tablet would get more interest
