Lenovo has long sold gaming PCs, gaming laptops and other hardware to gamers under the Legion brand. The product portfolio will soon be expanded to include gaming smartphones. Since December 2019, there have been rumors about Legion phones. But now, photos of new smartphones are circulating on the Internet for the first time. They show unusual designs.

Lenovo obviously uses a pop-up camera. However, this is not in the first place like other smartphones, but from the side of the case. The reason is unclear. We suspect that the camera is not mainly used for selfies, but for video chat.

Because you usually hold your phone in landscape format when playing games, the camera will be the ideal location for shooting movies. Then, your friends can watch your game via Skype or other Messenger, of course, you can also better coordinate with teammates in multiplayer games.

Dual camera in the middle

Also striking: the dual cameras mounted on the back are located in the middle instead of the top. Obviously, this should prevent you from constantly touching the lens with your fingers. The back of the phone is also arched. The phone also has two USB C ports. One is on the side of the smartphone. Therefore, it should be easy to load during the game.

Not only the photos, but also the first batch of technical data of mobile phones are circulated on the Internet. Therefore, the Lenovo Legion smartphone provides the following functions:

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 865
  • UFS 3.0 memory and LPDDR 5 RAM
  • Full HD + 144 Hz refresh rate display
  • 5,000 mAh battery
  • With a 90-watt power supply, the battery should be charged within 30 minutes
  • 64 + 16 megapixel camera on the back
  • 200,000-pixel selfie camera
  • Android 10

These images and specifications are published by the developer community XDA Developers. In the past, the use of correct preliminary information has appeared many times. Therefore, we put the credibility of the information very high.
