Lenovo Legion Phone Duel is all in on mobile gaming

Absolutely screams gaming

Mobile gaming enthusiasts will have yet another smartphone to choose from as the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel has just entered the game!

There’s been some fair amount of anticipation for this phone with leaks popping up every now and again. Let’s jump right into the specs to see what we’re working with here.

Powered for elite gaming

It was previously announced that this phone will be one of the firsts to carry the Snapdragon 865 Plus — the latest and greatest from Qualcomm — that’s built for “elite gaming.”

Elsewhere on the phone you get up to 16GB LPDRR5 RAM and a 512GB UFS 3.1 internal storage. It has a 6.65-inch AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate with a 240Hz sampling rate that should bode well for all your mobile gaming needs.

As for the batteries, the rumors were right. Instead of one big chunk, Lenovo opted to split it up. Inside are two 2500mAh batteries. This helps with giving the Duel enough juice while also keeping it cool.

Built for gaming

Speaking of juicing up, the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel supports 90W Turbo Power Charging. This can take you from 0 to 50 percent in just 10 minutes and straight up to 100 percent in only half an hour.

You can charge the phone on either USB-C ports. Yes, there are two. One in the usual bottom of the phone, the other on its side — a perfect spot for charging while you’re gaming. Very similar to the one implemented by the ROG Phones.

Just like any gaming phone worth its salt, the Duel has two front-firing speakers. For touch and move simulation controls, there’s a Lenovo Legion Assistant to help you out.

Lenovo also made you sure you can “feel” your game. It has dynamic and surrounding vibration from specialized engines in the phone simulate the feel of in-game hits.

Stream your game

If you want to show off your skills, the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel lets you do that too. It has a side-mounted 20MP pop-up camera. It stays hidden until you’re ready to showcase your skills.

It can capture 1080P HD footage and record 4K video at up to 30FPS. Like any pop-up camera, it also has an auto-retract drop detection feature to give you some peace of mind.

On the software side, there’s the Lenovo Legion Realm which is a customized dashboard for all your gaming needs. Much like what Armory Crate is on the ROG Phone.

With it you can tweak hardware performance much like you would on PC gaming devices. You also get direct access to stream on either YouTube or Twitch. There are four noise-cancelling microphones to help streamers broadcast and record clear audio.

Streaming also lets you remove the background and use AI to auto-enhance your image using a selfie editor. It features several unique retouching filters and correction options.

At launch, users can auto-enhance images with programmed adjustments for a more balanced appearance. A later update will let users adjust filter settings to their liking (up to 100 levels of varying intensity).

For even more personalization, the device supports AR stickers called Playmoji.

Share your highlights

The Lenovo Legion Phone Duel will also do the heavy lifting for your after-stream content.

As soon as a gaming session ends, users can review all the highlights on-the-fly with a preview screen. All that’s left is for the user to select and merge recorded clips before sharing for the world to enjoy.

It even goes the extra mile. If you forgot to hit record, you only need to slide your finger on the right ultrasonic trigger (the right shoulder button area), to go back in time to relive the moment you missed and “instantly reversely-record” the moment.

In case you’re wondering, it does have rear cameras. Unusually located in the middle area and right next to the Legion logo, these are a 64MP main camera and 16MP ultra-wide angle lens.

Pricing and availability

The Lenovo Legion Phone Duel (aka Lenovo Legion Phone Pro in China) will be available starting July in China.

It will come to select markets in Asia, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America at a later date.

Pricing for both the 16GB and 12GB variants will vary depending on the market.

Marvel’s Wolverine gets a release date

September 15, 2026

It’s finally locked in. Marvel’s Wolverine is launching on September 15, 2026, exclusively for the PlayStation 5.

The release date was shared by Insomniac Games and PlayStation across their official social media channels, giving fans a concrete target after years of anticipation.

First announced in 2021, Marvel’s Wolverine is being developed in collaboration with Sony Interactive Entertainment and Marvel Games. The studio is crafting an original story centered on Logan, promising a darker and more brutal tone compared to its Spider-Man titles.

Players can expect savage, close-quarters combat built around Wolverine’s adamantium claws, along with a narrative that explores the character’s violent past. The game is designed exclusively for PS5, leveraging the hardware for cinematic set pieces and fast, ferocious action.

With a firm September 16, 2026 release date now confirmed, the wait for Logan’s next chapter officially has an end in sight.

This is the first major update since the trailer released back in September 2025.

Visceral Combat

Combat looks as savage as fans expect. Wolverine’s adamantium claws slice through foes with fast, fluid techniques. Momentum builds as his berserker rage takes over, turning him into a relentless force on the battlefield.

Dismemberment, brutal takedowns, and close-quarters combat define his style. Wolverine is a reluctant hero, but once the claws come out, there’s no holding back. He doesn’t fight nice. He fights to survive.

The trailer also teased Logan’s wider world. Players will face the elusive Mystique, the monstrous Omega Red, and an army of Reavers. Some characters may help him, others will try to break him.

The footage closes with a prototype of a towering purple robot—an unmistakable nod to the Sentinels. The adventure spans the neon-lit streets of Madripoor, the frozen wilderness of Canada, and the alleys of Tokyo. Each location sets the stage for bloody, destructive action.

Millennials, prepare to have your nostalgia get hit right in the feels. Nintendo has officially announced that Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen are coming to the Switch.

This year, the Pokémon franchise is celebrating its 30^th anniversary. Naturally, with Pokémon Day coming up, it’s only right to celebrate the event with something huge. Finally, two of the most prolific titles in the series are coming to a modern console.

Originally released in 2004, Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen were remakes of the original Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue. At the time, the two titles reimagined the older games for the Game Boy Advance. Additionally, they introduced new post-game content set in the Sevii Islands, where Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Deoxys reside in the Kanto region.

Based on the short teaser trailer, the upcoming Switch versions will feature all of both games’ content. It will likely be remastered for the Switch’s larger screen.

To showcase more of the Switch version, Nintendo is hosting a Pokémon Presents on February 27. The brand has not mentioned anything about a potential physical version yet. However, they do promise that both games will be available on the Nintendo eShop as soon as next week’s Pokémon Presents concludes. Each game will cost US$ 19.99.
