TL;DR The Legion Tab Gen 5 is now listed on Lenovo’s US site as “coming soon,” confirming it’s close to launch.

It runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with Lenovo AI Engine+, which actively boosts performance, enhances audio, and fine-tunes haptics during gameplay.

Battery gets a bump to 9000mAh with 68W fast charging and bypass charging.

Lenovo showed off the 8.8-inch Legion Tab Gen 5 at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in March, but at the time, there was no word on when it would be released. About a month later, Song Yuezhu, Lenovo’s Consumer Customer Marketing Director in China, posted a photo on Weibo of the tablet next to a larger, yet-to-be-announced Legion model. This sparked speculation that Lenovo might be working on something bigger.

The page only says the product is “coming soon,” without any details about the release date or price. Still, the listing includes a full spec sheet, revealing what looks like a powerful Android gaming tablet.
