With this chipset, it’s also a 5G-ready phone that can take advantage of the sub-6GHz spectrum. The Legion Phone Duel (or the Legion Phone Pro, as it’s called in China, where it will release first this month) features the Snapdragon 865 Plus processor, up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
The Legion Phone Duel’s dual 2,500mAh batteries can be fully charged in 30 minutes by plugging USB-C cables into each of its ports. Nevertheless, gaming phones have become a playground for interesting features like these, so I’m willing to give Lenovo credit for trying something new here. The rear camera array is located right in the middle of the phone’s backside, which isn’t the most convenient location either. That said, the Legion gaming phone isn’t a laptop, and even though I can envision a few use cases where it’d come in handy to have a side-mounted selfie cam on a phone, I’ll admit that I’d hate to be seen taking a selfie with this phone. Lenovo provided enough room in the camera’s enclosure to include a status light for the camera, like what most laptops feature. This might not lead to the best selfies or video quality, and it isn’t an ideal location for taking a quick selfie. The pop-up camera is a 20-megapixel sensor with an f/2.2 aperture and an 81.7-degree field of view. Given that most popular games are played in landscape mode, it’s a logical place for the camera to be since it ensures that your palm won’t obscure the lens if you’re video chatting or live-streaming during a game.
Lenovo has announced its first gaming phone, the Legion Phone Duel, and I’ve got to address its most interesting feature up front: the pop-up selfie camera that’s embedded along the phone’s side, just like the rumors in May suggested.
