Lenovo has finally decided to make its Legion branded gaming tablets available globally to capitalize on the growing mobile gaming market. The new tablet is simply called the Lenovo Legion Tab, which is a rebranded version of the Legion Tab Y700 2023 model (China exclusive).
Lenovo Legion Tab specs & features:
The Legion Tab boasts an 8.8-inch display, which might be on the smaller end of consumer tablets, however, the size makes it desirable for gaming since it is relatively easier to control compared to the bigger tablets. Add in the fact that Lenovo has provided a QHD+ resolution PureSight gaming panel with a 144Hz refresh rate makes it quite ideal for gaming. The panel is decently bright at 500 nits (typical) and covers the DCI-PC color gamut.
Design-wise, the tablet measures 208.54 x 129.46 x 7.6 mm, weighs 350 grams, and comes with a metal finish for its back as well as the sides. To improve gaming emersion, Lenovo has integrated a haptic system on the tablet. As for sound, the tablet has a dual speaker setup onboard tuned with Dolby Atmos.
The tablet has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor onboard, which isn’t the latest and greatest, however, it is a powerful flagship-grade chip unleashed with the help of Legion ColdFront: Vapor thermal solution, which is essentially an oversized vapor chamber. The tablet features 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB onboard storage, with the option of expanding it up to 1TB through a microSD card. It features a 6550mAh battery, which is decent considering its size, as well as 45W fast charging through a USB Type-C port using Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 technology. The second USB-C port offers DisplayPort 1.4 functionality for external display support.
Our previous testing of the Legion Tab Y700 2023 tablet (review video) has revealed that it is capable of running PUGB Mobile at a constant 90 FPS and Genshin Impact at a stable 60FPS. That being said, this tablet might be the perfect device to pair with something like Boosteroid, which is a cloud gaming platform meant for devices like smartphones, tablets, etc. If you own an Xbox Game Pass subscription, you can play games like Deathloop, Dishonored series, Gears 5, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and many others on this tablet through Boosteroid.
You can even hook it up with a mouse and keyboard or controller and use it like a PC. For software, the Legion Tab offers will ship with Android 13 onboard, however, the brand says it will provide Android 14 and Android 15 updates, along with security updates up to 2028. The tablet will also have a gaming assistant software onboard that will help with toggling performance modes, turning on screen recording, and bypass charging among other features.
For optics, the Legion Tab has a 13MP primary camera and a 2MP macro camera on the back, while the front of the device features an 8MP selfie camera. For connectivity, the tablet supports Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E.
Pricing & availability
The Lenovo Legion Tab is set to launch in the EMEA region (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) and Asia starting March 2024, with a price point beginning at EUR 599.
