Buying call

Buy the Legion Tab Gen 3 if you want a small Android tablet built for games: it pairs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with an 8.8-inch 165Hz screen, works with mobile controllers and lasted 9 h 45 min in a full-brightness video test. Reviewers called it a strong iPad mini alternative for less money. Skip it if you need storage expansion or secure unlock, because there's no microSD slot or fingerprint sensor. Lenovo is also behind on Android updates, and the screen could be brighter.
