Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 5 is designed around a compact gaming setup that does not force users to choose between charging and external display use. Its two USB-C ports have separate roles, including one that supports DisplayPort Output for connecting an external monitor.
The other USB-C port is positioned for charging while the tablet is held in landscape orientation. That placement is intended to keep the cable away from the user’s grip during gameplay.
Two Ports with Different Functions
The primary USB-C port supports data transfers of up to 10Gbps and DisplayPort Output. It provides a wired option for users who want to use the tablet with a larger external screen.
The second port supports USB 480Mbps and is intended for charging duties. Lenovo’s layout focuses on a practical concern for mobile gaming, where a charging cable can interfere with hand placement in landscape mode.

Compact Format, High-Refresh Display
The tablet uses an 8.8-inch PureSight Display with a 3,040 x 1,904-pixel resolution. Its variable refresh rate reaches 165Hz, a specification aimed at smoother motion in competitive games.
At 8.8 inches, the Legion Tab Gen 5 sits between a phone and a larger tablet in size. Lenovo positions the format as easier to hold horizontally while offering more screen space than a phone.
Lenovo Indonesia lists the Legion Tab Gen 5 from Rp13.499.000 to Rp13.999.000. The pricing places the device in the flagship tablet segment for users seeking gaming-oriented hardware in a smaller form factor.
Flagship Hardware and Thermal Support
The Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 5 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with 12GB of LPDDR5T RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.1 Pro storage. This configuration is intended to handle app loading and demanding games.
Lenovo identifies titles such as Genshin Impact, PUBG Mobile, and Honor of Kings as examples of the games the tablet is designed to run. The device also includes the Legion Coldfront Thermal System to help manage heat during extended sessions.
Thermal control is particularly relevant in a compact gaming tablet, where internal space for heat dissipation is more limited. The cooling system is intended to help keep chipset performance stable when graphics settings are set high.
Battery, Software and Limited Edition
A 9,000mAh battery with fast charging supports longer periods of intensive use. The tablet also supports Wi-Fi 7 and runs Android 16 with Lenovo AI Engine+.
Lenovo has also prepared a FIFA World Cup 26 Edition as a limited football-themed version. The edition was introduced through exhibitions at Pondok Indah Mall in Jakarta and Tunjungan Plaza in Surabaya.
By combining a 165Hz display, flagship chipset, cooling system and dual-port design, the Legion Tab Gen 5 focuses on portable gaming use. Its hardware layout also gives users the option to charge the tablet while using an external monitor connection.
