For years, I've wanted an Android equivalent of the iPad Mini, and leave it to Lenovo to answer the call. The Legion Tab Gen 3 is an absolute beast, thanks to its flagship power in a compact form factor. Best of all, it's on sale for $160 off when buying it directly from Lenovo.
Thankfully, we've seen an influx of smaller flagship tablets over the course of the past year, but it was Lenovo that got the fun started. Hidden behind the 8.8-inch display is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, along with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. With specs like that and an excellent Black Friday deal, it's tough to say no.
✅Recommended if: you want small small and powerful Android tablet that's readily available in the States.
❌Skip this deal if: you would prefer having an Android tablet that's available with expandable storage and/or multiple configurations.
Don't get me wrong, I love having a big tablet as much as the next person, especially as someone who likes to occasionally use a tablet as a laptop. But at the same time, I very much appreciate having a small tablet to lounge on the couch with, or toss in my bag without taking up a bunch of space.
One of the more frustrating aspects of the Legion Tab Gen 3 is that this isn't actually the latest tablet to come from Lenovo. That title is held by the Legion Y700 (Gen 4), which was announced and subsequently released in May 2025.
The Y700 retains the 8.8-inch display, but trades the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for the 8 Elite. Plus, there are different available RAM and storage configurations, not to mention the inclusion of a microSD card slot. Sadly, this version has yet to make its way to the States, leaving you to import it and potentially deal with tariffs.
That being said, the Legion Tab Gen 3 is still one of my favorite devices of the year. It's powerful enough to handle almost everything I've thrown at it, and after importing the Legion G9 gamepad, it's transformed into an Android gaming handheld.
