Besides the ASUS ROG Phone 3, the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel gaming flagship also made its official debut today. These two gaming powerhouse are in fact the first in the world to be launched with the latest Snapdragon 865+ SoC under the hood.
Just like the ROG Phone 3, the brand new Lenovo Legion Duel also brings along an intricate, gaming-centric design with state of the art features that will accelerate your game play to a while new level.
Starting with its front display, the Lenovo Legion Duel features a 6.65-inches FHD+ AMOLED display which comes with support for HDR10+ as well as an ultra-smooth 144Hz refresh rate. Unlike the ROG Phone 3 which has a 270Hz touch sampling rate, the Lenovo Legion Duel settled for a 240Hz sampling rate instead.
As mentioned earlier, the Legion Duel will be powered by the flagship Snapdragon 865+ SoC which will bring along a higher clocked rate of 3.1GHz. It will be assisted by up to 16GB LPDDR5 RAM and a huge 512GB UFS 3.1 flash storage.
Being a gaming-centric smartphone, we can surely expect to see some groundbreaking features which we don’t usually see among typical flagship phones. This include its customizable virtual joystick and dual ultrasonic shoulder triggers. And for those who wish to take things further, the device is also able to support both wired and wireless game pads.
As usual, the Lenovo Legion Duel also comes with an advanced cooling system which keeps the device cool during intensive gaming. Moving on, it also has features Lenovo’s proprietary U-Engine dual X-axis vibration motor that will help deliver a more immersive game play.
Coming to its camera department, there will be a dual-cameras setup on its back panel comprising of a 64 megapixels main shooter and a 16 megapixels ultra-wide lens.
At the front, there wouldn’t be any notches or hole-punches as the Lenovo Legion Duel employs an unique side-mounted pop-up camera module which houses a 20 megapixels selfie camera. This leaves the front display totally unblemished.
To keep its lights on, the Lenovo Legion Duel draws power from a mammoth 5,000mAh battery which comes with support for an insanely quick 90W fast-charging support.
According to Lenovo, a short 10 minutes charge will be sufficient to bring the device from 0 to 50%, while a full charge from 0 to 100% will take only a mere 30 minutes.
In terms of pricing, the most affordable model with 8GB+128GB storage configuration will setup you back with 3,499 Yuan (US$500). As for the other higher-end models with 12GB+128GB, 12GB+256GB and 16GB+512GB configurations, they will be priced at 3,899 Yuan (US$557), 4,199 Yuan (US$600) and 5,999 Yuan (US$857) respectively.
For now, there is still no words on its global availability, so we will need to wait for more updates from Lenovo’s end.
