What comes to mind when you think of a gaming phone? A high-end processor, advanced cooling system, physical buttons, and RGB design are the most commonly found features. The Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 has all of it, so what sets it apart from the host of gaming phones available today?

It’s the outrageous specifications and capabilities that Lenovo has managed to squeeze inside a phone. The device is constructed with three glass panels set. It features a twin-turbo cooling system at the rear, which allows the device to draw in cool air and manage the expulsion of hot air via the vents.

On the front is a 6.92-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate, 1,300 nits peak brightness, HDR10+, Gorilla Glass 5 protection, and TUV Rheinland Low Blue Light certification. Powering the device under the hood is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 SoC. In terms of memory, it’s got LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.

Along with the twin-turbo cooling, Lenovo even has incorporated a vapor chamber for passive cooling. The device also has an RGB logo at the back. It has retained a few aspects from the predecessor like twin USB-C ports and a pop-up selfie camera. The rear of the phone has idents to place your fingers ergonomically and the edges have quad shoulder buttons.

The Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 gets a dual-camera setup on the rear, which consists of a 64-megapixel primary camera, and a 16-megapixel wide-angle lens. The front pop-up module houses a 44-megapixel sensor. The unique location of the camera is favorable for live streaming without any dedicated camera setup externally.

Backing these internals is a 5500mAh battery with 90W fast charging support. The company even promises that the device can go from 0 to 82 percent in 17 minutes – which is equivalent to 120W charging. The phone runs Android 11 out of the box with ZUI 12.5 UI.

Lenovo plans to release this handset only in the Chinese market, and its debut is expected in Europe sometime in May. Color options include Titanium White and Ultimate Black.
