Lenovo Legion Tab: Compact 8.8-inch gamer with 165 Hz refresh rate

At 8.8-inches, the Legion Tab Gen 3 falls under the competitive compact gaming tablet segment, and positions itself as a well-rounded offering. The 8.8-inch 2560 x 1600 LTPS display, while not quite as vivid as OLEDs, performed admirably during our testing. With a refresh rate of 165 Hz and 98.4% coverage of the sRGB color gamut, gaming should be a pleasure on the Legion Tab 3.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC powering the tablet is not exactly a modern-day flagship, but packs enough punch to defeat the Apple iPad mini 7 by almost 50% in GPU benchmarks. In CPU performance, however, the iPad mini does have the upper hand in both single-core and multi-core benchmarks. Despite a potent vapor chamber cooling system, the Legion Tab 3 throttles under load, albeit fares much better than its predecessor.

Battery performance is equally respectable, with the Legion Tab 3 lasting over 20 hours in our video playback test with screen brightness set to 150 nits. We were also very pleased with the real-life utility of the dual USB-C ports, but were equally disappointed with the tablet's lack of cellular connectivity and peak full-screen brightness of just around 420 nits, which may not be enough for outdoor usage on sunny days.

As always, interested gamers are requested to be mindful of the time-sensitive nature of such attractive deals. Before pulling the trigger, be sure to check out our in-depth review of the Legion Tab Gen 3 compact gaming tablet as well.
