It’s been one and a half years since Lenovo announced the last versions of the Galaxy Tab M7, and M8. The successors to these are already long overdue. Recent Geekbench listing suggested that a new Lenovo Tab with Model number TB-7306F could debut as the 2021 Tab M7 model. Now, a Google Play console listing shows specs of the Lenovo Tab M8 (3rd Gen).

The listing via GoAndroid shows a new Lenovo Tablet with model number TB-8506F. The name of the tablet appears as the Lenovo Tab M8 (3rd Gen) and the SoC is the MediaTek MT8768A. Searching this model number on the Geekbench database yields us the results as below.

Contrary to the Google Play Console, the Geekbench listing shows the chipset as MediaTek MT8768WT. That said, the chipset could just be the MediaTek Helio P22T found on its own tablets like Lenovo Tab M10 HD but we will have to wait for the official info.

Moving on, the display seems to have a resolution of 800×1280 pixels which suggests that Lenovo is sticking to just over HD format. And going by the naming, it should measure 8-inches. Other specs include 3GB RAM, Android 11 OS. Although the Geekbench suggests a 4GB RAM variant, we would put a pin on that until the launch.

Lenovo has constantly been performing well in the tablet segment despite scattered launches. It has shipped about 5.6 million units in Q4 2020 and secured an 8.6% market share. Let’s wait and see how the company manages to price the 2021 versions to continue the momentum.
