A small tablet is just more useful about. Certainly, the best tablets have become very large in recent years, but what I have found is that with a big tablet, I am less likely to bring or reach it when I want a slightly larger screen than my smartphone.
Even though I like Android on iOS, I got a chance to try one of the best iPads a few months ago and looking at my tendency towards small tablets, it was definitely the iPad Mini 7. While the switch from Android to iPados definitely used something, I really enjoyed my time with Apple’s small iPad. However, as I have done for years now, I am still craving Google for some of my prestigious Nexus 7.
I knew that just kept the device in its hands earlier this year to scratch its itching for a small competent Android tablet. When I went to examine Lenovo’s booth at CES, there were all types of cool gadgets on the display-one-in-one PC with speakers inside its monitor with Lejan Go Running Stemos and even the world’s first roll-up laptop. But it was a small, 8.8 -inch Android tablet that left the biggest impression on me.
I had never consider the gaming tablet before, even though I know they are more powerful and are packed with all kinds of additional features. However, this was the short size of the Lenovo Legion Tab 3 that increased my interest. In fact, I was so fascinated by it that instead of calling one for review, I bought it with my money.
I have been using Legion Tab 3 since coming two months ago and this is what I am seeing. Lenovo actually makes a lot of small pills than other hardware manufacturers, but most of them sacrifice power for strength. The tab is not 3, but unlike some other big bullets, you have to do not pay one hand and one leg for a sharp processor and lots of RAM. Here is described that this small Android tablet won me completely why I think it is the nearest modern counterpart to Nexus 7.
Whatever you need and more
At a time when Apple, Samsung, Google and others have closed the box with the box with the best phones, Lenovo gives you everything you want with Lion Tab General 3. No, really.
Not only do you get 68W fast charger and a cable to go with it, but you also get a glass screen guard and even a followed case with a removable magnetic cover in the box with this tablet. Lenovo also went to the extra mile by providing instructions and some equipment, helping you to install that glass screen guard completely.
The Legion tab does not skimp on 3 specs because it is a gaming tablet. You get a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 General 3 processor, 12 GB LPDDR 5X RAM, 256 GB storage, 6,550 mAh battery and is one of the first tablets to ship with Wi-Fi 7 support. In fact, after installing it, one of the first things I had to conduct a speed test and with my fiber internet connection and one of the best Wi-Fi 7 routers set in my house, I noticed that Peak saw the peak download speed of more than two seconds.
Although I would not recommend using your tablet as a camera, Tab 3 is equipped with a 13MP main camera and a 2MP macro camera on the back, but also has an 8MP front-facing camera for video calls. While its volume rocker buttons have an easy experience for them, the power button is the texture that makes it easier to find with your finger.
Overall, Tab 3 has excellent construction quality and I really like its full-metal design and its matte finish. It actually looks solid in the hand with no flexing at all. 8.21 x 5.10 x 0.31 inches, it is slightly larger than the iPad Mini 7. However, it works in its favor – especially to play games, but slightly more on it – as is the 16:10 aspect ratio in tab 3 while the 3: 2 aspect ratio of iPad mini is.
One thing that actually encourages me about tab 3 is that this is the first tool I have used with double USB-C port. Of course the bottom is one, but one is also on the left. The main one has a transfer rate of 10GB/s, while the other one is quite slow at 480MB/s, although two of them are still useful so that you can play with one of the best mobile game controllers while charging at the same time.
When you need it, there
As I have mentioned earlier, what I like about small pills is that it is easy to place things on my desk without closing too much. While I usually have nothing next to me all the time, I have left tab 3 in the phone holder on the side of my desk.
Thanks to its more powerful processor, I did not have to deal with any recession or gap and when I arrive for it, the tab 3 is ready to go at full speed. I want it to have a built -in fingerprint scanner like the iPad Mini 7, but to wake up with double tap and set up unlock, I can find almost fast in my tablet.
The 6,550 mAh battery of the tab 3 is a welcome to my big Lenovo P11 General 2 Tablet, I don’t really need to worry about its battery. When I went to New York to go with hands with Switch 2 last month, I stopped it in our test laboratory and in our battery life tests, it lasted 15 hours and 40 minutes on a charge. If it goes out of the juice, I can quickly take back its battery up to 38% in 30 minutes, thanks to the underlying fast charging of the tab 3.
When you get all the items you need in the box with tab 3, there is an alternative accessory that I had fixed for spring. When I ordered the tablet, I also added Lenovo tab pen plus ($ 50, Lenovo) For my car, as I remember I had a very difficult time to track a USI Styles for my Chromebook Couple 3. It charges through the USB-C, so I do not need to worry about the pesaki AAA battery with my old surface pen and even for a few months, I have only had to charge a few times.
I really like to use Lenovo Tab Pen Plus to scroll via news and even to navigate through the menu of just Android 14 because I am not more than a digital artist. It is also useful to take and withdraw notes. When I made my distraught-free desk setup, the tab 3 on my desk was there so that I would not take my phone out. Tab Pen Plus also has a small button on the side that you can quickly use to bring the Lenovo’s stylus menu, such as notes, screenshots and even to search you the AI-operated circle to search.
It would be good to have a tab pen plus in the box with Legion Tab 3, but you have no objection to paying extra for it, seeing that you have to buy all the necessary items that you have to buy.
Ready for gaming
I like to play the game on the console or on my PC, but my final push came when it came to take the tab 3, the fact was that big, binoculars are the perfect size for big, binoculars mobile controllers like Tablet Razor Kishi Ultra. I really borrowed an ipad mini 7 from the work, but then I came to know that I realized that the Remote Play Tab 3 would be even better on the Wi-Fi 7-manual device.
My thinking was present for two reasons. The high bandwidth of Wi-Fi 7 created a smooth experience to play a distant game on my Xbox series X, but it was even better than playing PC games on Atomman G7 TI, which I reviewed some time ago. Apart from being one of the best mini PCs, it is also equipped with Wi-Fi 7. In addition to low intervals while playing from a distance, the 16:10 aspect ratio of tab 3 meant that I had to take full advantage of its 8.8 -inch screen. You see, with iPad Mini 7 and its 3: 2 aspect ratio, the top and bottom of the screen were quite large.
As I am working on my review of Razor Kishi Ultra, while I am testing Tab 3, I also installed some native Android games on it. Highly demanded titles such as grid autosports go on spectacular on this gaming tablet, even though there are many console and curvature Android games. There are definitely more on iPados, but unfortunately, the iPad Mini 7 is not equipped to handle the full console port such as the resident Evil Village and Death Stranding that have recently come in the latest iPhones of Apple.
If you have ever messed up with backbone one or other phone controllers, you know that you often have to take away from your phone to adopt the case. With tab 3 and Kishi Ultra, it was not at all (no punishment intention). I was able to give up the case involved, although I had to remove its folio-style cover. Fortunately, it attaches magnetically and closes and goes back very easily.
I am playing some playstation exclusives from a distance using Tab 3, Kishi Ultra and The PS5 Pro, but this is for another story that I am working for my gaming week event that is actually coming soon. I will save the details for that piece but it’s doing a great job.
Not a smeg of buyer’s repentance
I was so impressed with the Legion Tab 3 in CES that I gave an order as soon as I got available. However, at that time, I did not realize how soon Lenovo releases new versions of its Legion tab line. I got this small tablet back in March and now the company is already teasing a Lion Tab 4 which is ready to release later this month, at least in China.
By now, depending on what we know, this new model will be thin, lighter and possibly the more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Chip of Qualcomm, although the same size will be the 8.8-inch screen as my tab 3. If it was an iPad, I have a significant change between the buyer’s repentance that the Apple usually makes significant changes between its iPad mini model.
However, for me, Tab 3 is perfect for my needs. It is rapidly blazing, it has a lot of underlying storage and I really like its additional gaming-centric features such as dual USB-C ports. Best of all, it runs Android with which I am more familiar and I can still play all the different games I have bought for years.
If you want to stay on the cutting edge, I would suggest a little waiting for full details on the tab gene 4. However, if you want just a small but very competent Android tablet, this tab can be worth taking Jean 3, especially if you can get it at a discount. I am really happy with my purchase and if you will forgive me, I am leaving to test some more games with it and Razor Kishi Ultra.
