Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 5 Goes on Sale in the U.S. for $849

The higher sticker price signals how pricier memory parts are pushing compact Android gaming tablets into the premium range.

Overview

  • Lenovo’s 8.8-inch Legion Tab Gen 5, which opened U.S. sales Tuesday, lists at $849.99 on Lenovo.com.
  • The tablet pairs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with 12GB of RAM, 256GB of UFS 4.1 Pro storage, and Android 16.
  • The IPS screen runs at a 3K resolution with a 165Hz refresh rate, and a 9,000mAh battery aims to support long gaming sessions.

  • The new model costs about $300 more than its predecessor, a jump reporters attribute to rising memory and component costs.
