The Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 is a Black Friday in July doorbuster like no other at a $120 discount

Phone Arena6 days ago
Fairly reasonably priced at $549.99, the hardcore gaming-friendly Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 is an outright steal at $429.99. Marked down by up to $100 a few different times over the last couple of months, the extraordinarily powerful and remarkably stylish 8.8-inch slate is now on sale at a new record high discount of 120 bucks for a limited time. This totally unprecedented and possibly unbeatable deal is part of a sitewide Lenovo.com/us Black Friday in July campaign, and just like the "real" Black Friday sales events organized in the fall, it's likely to last more than a measly 24 hours. At the same time, your demand could wipe out the company's inventory at any moment, so it might not be wise to delay your purchase too much.
$120 off (22%) 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Processor, 8.8-Inch LTPS Display with 2560 x 1600 Pixel Resolution and 165Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, Android 14, 6,550mAh Battery, 65W Charging, Two Superlinear Speakers with Stereo Audio and Dual X-Axis Haptics, 13 + 2MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 8MP Front-Facing Camera, ColdFront Vapor Chamber Tech, Eclipse Black Color, Folio Case and Rapid Charge Adapter Included Buy at Lenovo After all, this is an Android tablet like very few available in the US right now, with not just a snappy Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor under the hood, but a generous 12 gigs of RAM and state-of-the-art Legion ColdFront Vapor Chamber technology as well.
That latter component guarantees your little gaming beast will stay nice and cool during the lengthiest Call of Duty sessions, while the 8.8-inch "PureSight" screen comes with 165Hz refresh rate support to ensure ultra-smooth gameplay and responsiveness at all times.
Of course, any mobile gaming machine also needs a generous battery to keep its most demanding users satisfied, and the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 checks that box surprisingly well, with 6,550mAh cell capacity. That's especially surprising when you consider that the device tips the scales at only 350 grams while measuring less than 8mm thick. Oh, and if you need a little extra fuel fast, the relatively affordable tablet has a decidedly impressive 65W charger in its standard retail box. Granted, the long-term software support is likely to be... underwhelming at best, at least compared with Apple's best iPads and Samsung's top Galaxy Tab options. But you obviously can't have it all at only $429.99, and with neat stuff like dual USB-C ports, bypass charging, and super linear speakers, the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 pretty much has everything you could wish for aside from guaranteed Android 18 or 19 updates.

Weekly poll: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7 or Z Flip7 FE?

Peter, 13 July 2025 They are here – Samsung launched its next-gen foldables this week. This includes a new Fold and a new Flip model and, for the first time, a cheaper Flip FE. Do you have your eyes set on a particular model – and if yes, which one? The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 is significantly thinner than its predecessor – it went from 12.1mm/5.6mm to 8.9mm/4.2mm when folded/unfolded. It's lighter too, 215g vs. 239g. That's 3g less than the S25 Ultra! However, Samsung had to make some sacrifices: the battery capacity stayed the same (4,400mAh) as did charging (25W/15W) and S Pen support has been removed. Both displays have gotten bigger – 6.5' cover display (up from 6.3') and 8.0' inside (up from 7.6'). This comes with increased dimensions, though, a folded phone now measures 158.4 x 72.8mm, compared to 153.5 x 68.1mm before. For what it's worth, the vanilla S25 is 70.5mm wide and the Edge is 75.6mm, so the Z Fold7 is still usable one-handed. The phone now boasts a 200MP main camera and other upgrades – check out the camera samples we took out and about in New York. One change that may prove less popular is that Samsung removed the under-display camera inside and replaced it with a 10MP punch hole camera – it offers better quality, sure, but now there's a hole in the 8' display. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 has slimmed down as well – from 14.9mm/6.9mm on its predecessor to 13.7mm/6.5mm (the weight is essentially unchanged at 188g). However, this model brings a bigger battery – 4,300mAh isn't huge, but surprising to see given the slimmer build (and since Samsung couldn't increase the capacity of the Z Fold7 battery). Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 This one also has bigger displays inside and out – an edge-to-edge 4.1' cover display and a 6.9' inner display. However, the only notable change in the camera setup is the 10-bit HDR video support (also available on the Z Fold7). That means no dedicated zoom lens, so you'll have to make do with 2x in-sensor zoom from the 50MP main. Check out our camera samples to see what that looks like. Don't miss our Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 hands-on if you want to know more about these foldables. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE is kind of a re-release of the Z Flip6. Here's the comparison – long story short, last year's Exynos 2400 (from the S24 series) replaces the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. The performance is about the same, but efficiency is a concern. The S24+ (Exynos 2400, 4,900mAh battery) scored 12:30 in our Active Use test, while the S24 Ultra (Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 5,000mAh) lasted longer and scored 13:49. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE The FE has the same battery capacity as the Z Flip6, 4,000mAh, despite being thicker than the Z Flip7. Also, it has less RAM, 8GB vs. 12GB. And if that wasn't enough, the Z Flip7 FE is not available from US carriers (retailers do sell unlocked units, though). While we're on the topic of chipsets, we should note that the premium Galaxy Z Flip7 is powered exclusively by the Exynos 2500 – yes, even in the North American market. Have a look at the pricing. The Z Flip7 FE starts at $200/£200/€200 less than the Z Flip6 did last year, but you can still find Z Flip6 units – and they often cost less than the FE. As for the other two, the Z Fold7 got pricier, while the Z Flip7 costs the same as the Z Flip6 did at launch. Samsung's new foldables Has the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 won you over with slimmer and lighter design or has it turned you away with its price hike? Or was it the removed features? Vote below and leave a comment with your thoughts. What about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7? It fixes most of the major complaints we had with the Z Flip6, other than the camera and charge speed. What do you think? The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE is necessary – foldables can be quite expensive! But it's still more than something like a Motorola Razr or Razr+. How do you feel about the FE? Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 256GB 12GB RAM $ 1,999.99 $ 1,999.99 512GB 12GB RAM $ 1,999.99 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 256GB 12GB RAM $ 1,099.99 $ 1,099.99 512GB 12GB RAM $ 1,099.99 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE 5G 128GB 8GB RAM $ 899.99 $ 899.99 256GB 8GB RAM $ 899.99

Why I like the Pixel's default QWERTY over the iPhone's keyboard

I always set up Gboard on my Pixel handsets the same way every time. I go to Settings > System > Keyboard > On-screen-keyboard > Gboard > Preferences and toggle on the following options: Number row-this leaves a dedicated 1-0 number row at the top of the keyboard, helping me access numbers faster. Emoji switch key-leaves a dedicated key to access emoji. Long press for symbols-this allows me to long-press on a letter key to type symbols and characters without having to switch to a second keyboard. Popup on keypress-typing on a key will result in a popup appearing with that letter character, number, or symbol to confirm that you pressed the key you wanted. Show app icon-allows an app icon for Gboard to show up in the launcher. Sound on keypress, Volume on keypress-I would have the first one toggled on and the second one set to 100%. I always like to hear that clicking sound when I type. I find it easy and fast to find characters, symbols, and numbers with this setup. With iOS, I don't like having to tap the numbers key on the bottom left to open a separate keyboard with number keys and some other keys for characters and symbols. There are also a few symbols that require a second tap to open yet another dedicated keyboard for the plus sign, the "pound" sign, and the equal sign. It seems that there are some who think the iPhone keyboard allows them to type with fewer errors than the Gboard QWERTY on Pixel. Take Reddit user RaistlinQ5 who wrote, "So I've always thought the Google keyboard isn't all that great. I always seem to hit the wrong key when typing. But if I use an iPhone keyboard, it seems like when using that keyboard, I don't have as many typing errors." How i like to set up Gboard on my Pixel phone. | Image credit-PhoneArena Others do not agree. One Redditor wrote, "Disagree. Coming from iOS, Google Keyboard on Pixel is far FAR superior." Another said, "I agree. I just moved to an iPhone and the keyboard is awful. Forever making errors and the keyboard always suggests the wrong words. It also loves to override any words I type that are not in its dictionary." And yet another comment was left in favor of the Pixel's virtual QWERTY. That comment said, "Strongly agree! The iOS keyboard was driving me insane!!! It honestly was one of my main reasons why I switched. Google's keyboard is light years better." At left, the settings to duplicate my QWERTY. At right, toggle switches for autoaspace after punctuation and auto-capitalization, | Image credit-PhoneArena If neither the iPhone or Pixel QWERTY is your cup of tea, the one third-party typing app that received some positive feedback by both iOS and Android users was Swiftkey. I've used the Android version of the app before and always returned to Gboard. Still, your experience could be different than mine. You can install Swiftkey for iOS by tapping on this link and the Android version of the keyboard can be installed by tapping here. The problem is that many Pixel users don't know what features their default virtual QWERTY has. Some on Reddit were complaining about features available on Swiftkey that they thought weren't found on the Pixel's Gboard QWERTY such as autospace after punctuation and auto-capitalization. However, those features are certainly found on the Pixel's Gboard keyboard. You have to enable them first. To toggle them on, open the QWERTY keyboard on your Pixel. You can do this by pretending to send a text. Once the keyboard appears on the screen, look for the gear icon and tap it. Once you've pressed the gear icon, tap on Text correction. You'll find toggles for both Autospace after punctuation, and Auto-capitalization. So before you decide that you need a new QWERTY for your Pixel, you should find out what it can do first before you complain what it can't do. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!
