Lenovo Legion Phone Duel gaming smartphone is here

Lenovo's first ever gaming smartphone has been finally launched and it's called Lenovo Legion Phone Duel. That will be its anme when it officially becomes available outside of China where it is named as the Legion Phone Pro. Like what we can expect from a flagship gaming smartphone and similar to the newly-launched ASUS ROG Phone 3, this device packs all top-of-the-line specs and gaming features such as Snapdragon 865+, 144Hz refresh rate, cooling system, massive battery with super fast charging, shoulder buttons, and more. 

Similar to the ROG Phone 3, the Legion Phone Duel also has the shoulder buttons gives users full advantage of additional buttons in the gaming mode or landscape mode. And since gaming on a mobile phone is mostly done in landscape mode, Lenovo made a smart decision about its front facing camera. the selfie camera uses a pop-up mechanism and is mounted on the side of the phone, right in the middle. That's just a sweet spot for users who would also like to livestream their games or simply use the front camera while gaming with other players. 

The Lenovo Legion Phone Duel sports a quite huge 6.65-inch screen with full HD+ AMOLED display resolution. It also comes with a 144Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate, two of the most exciting features on any smartphones today. 

While the phone is powered by the latest and powerful Snapdragon 865 Plus processor, it will come in multiple RAM and storage variants as much as 16GB and 512GB. Unlike the ROG Phone 3 which packs 64MP quad rear camera, the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel only comes with two, 64MP and 16MP and a single 20MP selfie camera (the side mounted one). 

In the battery department, it has a total of 5000mAh battery pack. I said "total" because it is actually two 2500mAh cells and together with it is a 90W Turbo Power Charging. Lenovo said  it can charge the phone from zero to 50% in just 10 minutes and to 100% in 30 minutes. Color selection, there will be Vengeance Red and Blazing Blue.
