The best compact Android tablet you can buy just dropped back to its lowest price

For years, the market for small Android tablets has been a sea of compromise, generally forcing you to choose between a portable size and high-end, flagship-level performance. But every once in a while, a device comes along that completely switches things up. That device is the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3, and right now, as part of Lenovo’s Fall Tech Fest sale, this compact powerhouse is down to its lowest price ever, giving you the chance to snag one for just $398.99 with promo code EXTRAFIVE.

Flagship specs in a go-anywhere size

As we said in our unboxing, the spec sheet on the Legion Tab Gen 3 is pretty incredible. At its core is the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, paired with a massive 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM. Then there is an 8.8-inch 2.5K (2560×1600) display that is not only incredibly sharp but also boasts a buttery-smooth 165Hz refresh rate. It’s a screen that makes everything from scrolling through websites to intense gaming feel fluid and responsive. And with the tablet now running Android 15, the software experience is good too!

Why this is the one to buy right now

Some of you may know that Lenovo has already launched a Gen 4 of this tablet over in China, but its path to the US is far from certain. The Gen 3 only arrived stateside a few months ago, so we could be waiting many more months for a successor to show up in the US.

That context makes this deal on the Gen 3 even more appealing. It’s a chance to get a top-tier experience today without paying a premium or playing the waiting game. And at the end of the day, you’re going to have a hard time finding another compact Android tablet that doesn’t compromise on power like this one. If you’ve been searching for that perfect blend of portability and performance, this is your chance.

Another great Lenovo tablet deal

If the high-performance gaming focus of the Legion Tab isn’t quite what you’re looking for, Lenovo has another fantastic deal on a larger, more media-focused device. The Lenovo Idea Tab Pro, a big-screen tablet perfect for streaming and browsing, is also on sale and is definitely worth your consideration. As we covered in our unboxing, it’s a great large tablet, and right now you can get it for just $275.49 with code EXTRAFIVE. It’s a fantastic alternative for those who prioritize screen size.
