Lenovo Legion Phone Price, Release Date, Specs, All You Need To Know

For gamers, the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel caught their eyes as it is one of the most gaming-oriented phones. If you are interested in the phone, here is all information regarding Lenovo Legion phone price, release date, and specs.

Legion Phone Review

Design

The smartphone from Lenovo is surely a hefty phone. When you hold it in your hand, it feels like you are holding a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. The Duel is, in fact, even bigger than the largest high-end phone of Samsung. The phone’s curvature makes it easier to hold.

On the left are the volume controls. And on the right is the power button placed in the middle. While this may seem to be a strange location, it is actually a master move since the power button also doubles up as the pop-up selfie camera.

The back cover comes with a fun design that reminds you of what you may find in certain PC accessories and Gaming PCs, including the extensive Legion line of Lenovo.

In the middle is the Legion tri-star logo with an RGB backlight. The smartphone comes in two colors: Blazing Blue and Vengeance Red.

A clear case that has a matching design is provided to protect the phone.

Excellent mobile sound experience

The Lenovo Legion Phone duel, with its dual front-speaker, has the most impressive sound. The audio has exceptional clarity and volume. Its sound is even better than certain laptops.

Unfortunately, the smartphone doesn’t have a 3.5mm audio connector. But there is an adapter included in the box.

Exceptional Gaming Features

6.65-inch 144Hz AMOLED Display

The smartphone comes with an AMOLED display with a resolution of 2340x1080, which is great for gaming. Its brightness of 620 NIT is enough to play outdoors.

The refresh rate of the display can reach 144Hz. For battery preservation, you can switch to 60Hz and 90Hz when the maximum refresh isn’t needed. When playing games, you can force the display to hit 144Hz.

The AMOLED display delivers vivid colors and deep blacks. If you want to connect the phone to a monitor, use the USB-C port or a mobile display like the Lenovo ThinkVision M14.

Controls

The Legion Phone Duel has two haptic Y-Triggers that are pressure-sensitive. They are placed conveniently. Depending on the way you hold the phone, you can tune the required force to trigger an action.

The triggers don’t protrude. So you won’t have the tactile feel telling you that they are there. But don’t worry, you won’t press the wrong place.

User Interface

Lenovo has optimized the phone for landscape usage. During normal usage, you can still use it in portrait mode.

The phone has some issues like not switching to portrait when the lock screen is activated.

While playing games, you can swipe from the top to use the Legion Assistant and change the settings without having to exit the game.

Battery

Gaming can deplete the battery quickly. So Lenovo has dealt with this by equipping the Legion phone with a beefy 5,000mAh battery and extremely fast charging.

With its 90W charger along with dual USB-C charging ports, the smartphone takes only 30 minutes to be charged to 100% and 10 minutes to charge to 50%.

System performance

The smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon 865+ chip and can do basic tasks and run games at blazing-fast speed.

Camera system

Selfie camera for game streaming

For most smartphones, selfie cameras aren’t as powerful as the main cameras on the rear. However, the selfie camera of the Legion phone performs pretty well. In bright light and even low light situations, it is even comparable to the selfie camera of the Galaxy Note 10.

To have better streaming quality, it is better to set up some lighting inside the room. The phone has a “beauty” filter that is enabled by default. But you can still switch it off in the settings. You also have a background-removal feature.

The location of the selfie camera is perfect. It is placed right in the middle. The phone comes with a quad-microphone setup with noise-cancellation. The case design doesn’t affect the microphones.

There are two cameras on the back: wide and ultrawide. Of course, it isn’t the most powerful camera hardware. However, for a gaming phone, it is still very decent. It is comparable to the camera of the Galaxy S10e from Samsung.

In India, the Lenovo Legion Duel smartphone is likely to be around Rs 37,320. The phone was unveiled in July 2020, and it will soon be available in India. That is all information regarding Lenovo Legion phone price, release date, and specs. We hope that you can decide whether to splurge your money on this device or not.
