Lenovo Legion Phone Images Appear Online With Some Specs

[zanderthunder]

 

Images alleged to be the Lenovo Legion gaming phone have appeared on the internet twice. And both times, the look of the phone doesn’t seem to match. But if the latest set is to be believed, then at least one of the previous sets is accurate.

 

XDA reports that it has obtained official marketing videos for the Lenovo Legion phone. And based on screenshots from these videos, the phone looks closer to the initial set that came with a pair of earbuds. To start, it has its two rear cameras closer to the Legion logo at centre of the phone’s back. There’s also an LED flash just above it.

 

The Lenovo Legion phone also doesn’t have a notch or punch hole cutout on the front. Instead, it makes use of a popup mechanism for its front-facing camera. But what makes the phone interesting is that it has its popup mechanism on the side of the phone. Based on this and the Legion branding at the back, it looks like the Legion has a predetermined right-side-up landscape orientation.

 

 

The marketing material also shared some items on the Lenovo Legion phone’s spec sheet. For one, it will come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset, as well as UFS 3.0 internal storage and LPDDR5 RAM. That said, the videos did not reveal the exact numbers for those two.

 

Other items include a Full HD+ display with a 144Hz refresh rate and 270Hz touch sampling rate. The videos also revealed the two cameras on the back of the Lenovo Legion to be a 64MP main and 16MP wide angle pair. The front popup camera, on the other hand, is a 20MP shooter. It also has two USB-C ports, one at the bottom and the other on the left.

 

 

If these images really are from marketing material, then the design of the phone is pretty much set, barring minor adjustments. There’s a lot of interesting choices here to be sure, especially with the rear and front-facing cameras. This also means that Lenovo may be making an official announcement for the Legion gaming phone soon. But when exactly remains to be seen.

I'm still waiting for Lenovo to make a Think-Mobile phone. That would be terrific.

So far, HP was released Elite X3 smartphone (Elite brand by HP is equivalent to Think brand by Lenovo) in the past, but unfortunately flopped due to low popularity of Windows 10 Mobile.

And there was BlackBerry phones, but at the moment they are maintaining and supporting their apps while they don't produce smartphones anymore.

But a ThinkMobile smartphone? Hopefully they learn their lessons from HP and Blackberry tho, if in the future they consider that.

But then, another company debuted the world's first smartphone made with carbon fiber though, before that.

Unfortunately, it was powered with a mid-range Mediatek Helio P90 (which is the same chipset used by Reno 3), I expect it to be powered with a better processor such as Snapdragon 865.

 

But then, a carbon-fiber made phone comes with a hefty price though.

Thanks for the link!

I wouldn't spend that amount on an unknown brand. Bought a Nexbit Robin once, and that thing was a mistake.

Who would buy a phone with a mediocre support tho.

I would rather buy a decent phone that can able to update at least 1-2 major Android update, and if the manufacturer update support ends I can still able unlock the bootloader and install custom recovery and custom ROM. Even supported far more than usual manufacturer ones, as they have a community support.
