Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 VS OnePlus Pad 2 Pro

The most defining difference in this group is sheer physical scale. The OnePlus Pad 2 Pro is a substantially larger device — 289.6 × 209.7 mm versus the Legion Tab's 208.54 × 129.46 mm — placing the two tablets in practically different size categories. That footprint difference translates directly into a volume gap of over 150 cm³, meaning the Pad 2 Pro occupies roughly 73% more space. For users who want a desktop-replacement-style experience with more screen real estate, that larger chassis is a feature; for those prioritizing portability or single-hand holding, it is a liability.

Weight amplifies this contrast further. The Legion Tab comes in at 350 g, while the Pad 2 Pro weighs 675 g — nearly double. In practice, a sub-400 g tablet can be held comfortably one-handed for extended reading or gaming sessions, whereas a 675 g device will cause arm fatigue significantly faster and essentially demands two-handed or surface use. The Pad 2 Pro does recover some points on thinness at 6 mm versus the Legion Tab's 7.8 mm, making it feel more premium and sleek in the hand despite its larger body, but that slimmer profile does not compensate for the weight penalty in day-to-day portability.

On accessory support, both tablets share identical limitations: no included stylus, no detachable or backlit keyboard, no tilt sensitivity, and no water resistance rating. Neither product offers any design-level advantage in this regard. Overall, the Legion Tab Gen 3 holds a clear edge for portability and handheld use, while the Pad 2 Pro trades that convenience for a larger, albeit slimmer, form factor suited to stationary, productivity-oriented contexts.

The Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 and the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro both feature LCD IPS displays, but they differ significantly in several key aspects. The Legion Tab Gen 3 has an 8.8″ screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 px, providing a pixel density of 343 ppi. In contrast, the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro offers a much larger 13.2″ screen with a higher resolution of 3392 x 2400 px, resulting in a slightly lower pixel density of 315 ppi.

In terms of refresh rate, the Legion Tab Gen 3 supports a smoother 165Hz compared to the 144Hz refresh rate of the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro. Both devices have anti-reflection coatings, but the Legion Tab Gen 3 does not support HDR10, while the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro does, along with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support. The OnePlus Pad 2 Pro also provides a higher typical brightness of 600 nits compared to the Legion Tab Gen 3’s 500 nits.

Both devices have touch screens, but neither includes branded damage-resistant glass or an e-paper display. The Legion Tab Gen 3 does not support HDR10+ or Dolby Vision, while the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro supports both of these advanced features.

Both the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 and the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro feature 512GB of internal storage and 16GB of RAM, ensuring a similar level of memory and storage. However, the two devices differ in several performance-related aspects. The Legion Tab Gen 3 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, while the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro uses the slightly newer Snapdragon 8 Elite. The Legion Tab Gen 3's CPU has a configuration of 3 x 3.15 GHz, 2 x 2.96 GHz, 2 x 2.26 GHz, and 1 x 3.3 GHz, while the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro's CPU operates at 2 x 4.32 GHz and 6 x 3.53 GHz.

The Geekbench 6 results show that the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro achieves a significantly higher multi-core score of 10,059, compared to the Legion Tab Gen 3’s score of 7,325. In single-core performance, the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro again outperforms, with a score of 3,234, while the Legion Tab Gen 3 scores 2,213.

In terms of GPU, the Legion Tab Gen 3 has the Adreno 750, with a GPU clock speed of 900 MHz, while the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro features the Adreno 830, running at a higher GPU clock speed of 1,100 MHz. Both devices have integrated graphics and support OpenGL 3.2, DirectX 12, and OpenGL ES 3.2. They also both support a maximum memory amount of 24GB and operate on two memory channels. The Legion Tab Gen 3 has a slightly lower memory speed of 4,800 MHz compared to the 5,300 MHz on the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro.

The Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 and the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro have similar camera setups, both featuring a 13 MP main camera and an 8 MP front camera. Both devices support video recording at 2160 x 30 fps on the main camera, with touch autofocus and continuous autofocus during movie recording. They also both include a built-in HDR mode, manual white balance, and manual ISO adjustments.

Both tablets have a flash with one LED and do not include a front-facing LED flash. However, the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro supports slow-motion video recording, while the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 does not. Additionally, while both devices can create panoramas, they do not have the capability to shoot 360° panoramas. Neither device offers HDR10 or Dolby Vision recording, nor do they support built-in optical image stabilization or 3D photo/video recording.

Other features like manual exposure and manual focus are supported on both devices, though the Legion Tab Gen 3 offers a serial shot mode, which the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro lacks. Neither tablet includes a dual-tone LED flash, RGB LED flash, or built-in optical image stabilization.

The Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 and the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro have similar audio features, both equipped with stereo speakers. However, the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 offers more advanced Bluetooth audio support, including aptX and LDAC, but it lacks aptX HD, Low Latency, Adaptive, and Lossless support. The OnePlus Pad 2 Pro, in contrast, does not support any of the aptX or LDAC codecs, limiting its high-quality Bluetooth audio capabilities.

Neither tablet includes a 3.5 mm audio jack, so both rely on wireless audio solutions for wired headset users. Additionally, neither device features a radio.

The Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 and the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro both feature rechargeable batteries, with the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 having a 6550 mAh battery and the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro offering a much larger 12140 mAh battery. Both devices support fast charging and include a battery level indicator, but neither supports wireless charging. Additionally, neither device has a removable battery.

Despite having a smaller battery, the Legion Tab Gen 3 includes all the same core battery features as the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro, such as fast charging support and a rechargeable, non-removable battery.

The Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 and the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro share many common connectivity features. Both devices support Wi-Fi 4, Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6, and Wi-Fi 7, as well as Bluetooth 5.4.
