Appeared on Lenovo’s US website<\/a> With the “Coming Soon” tag, it hints that a Stateside launch isn’t far off. Lenovo is targeting May for a wider release, and the listing is in line with that window. When it arrives, it will be priced starting at $849, which is a significant jump from the Gen 3’s launch price of $549.<\/p>\nThe surge in prices is hard to ignore. But the specs support it, at least on paper. The Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 5 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. The 8.8-inch 3K LCD display runs at 165Hz, and Lenovo managed to cram a 9,000mAh battery into the same compact frame, while keeping the weight at 360 grams. It comes with Android 16, and Lenovo’s AI Engine+ handles things like in-game sound tuning, noise reduction for voice chat, and adaptive touch sensitivity. You also get dual USB-C ports and a folio case in the box.<\/p>\n
Three color options have been confirmed: Eclipse Black, Glacier White, and Surge, a vibrant green.<\/p>\n
An expensive follow-up to a fan favorite<\/h2>\n
If you have a Gen 3, you already know what this lineup is capable of. That tablet punched way above its price tag and filled a gap that most Android brands weren’t even trying to fill. The Gen 5 is clearly a big swing, and the $849 starting price reflects that.<\/p>\n
Part of the cost increase comes from the ongoing memory supply crisis that is driving up prices across the industry. We covered the full spec sheet of the Gen 5 when Lenovo unveiled it at MWC in March, and since then Lenovo has removed the Gen 3 from its storefront entirely, leaving the Gen 5 as the only Legion Tab in the lineup. So if you were looking for a more affordable entry point, that option is now gone.<\/p>\n
Lenovo has also been busy on the gaming hardware front, with the Legion phone making a comeback after a four-year hiatus. May is not far away.<\/p>\n
