What to expect from the Lenovo Legion Phone 2
Thanks to a number of leaks, we have a good idea of what to expect from the Legion Phone 2. The event video confirms the Legion Phone Duel 2 naming, although there may be different versions and different names – we suspect there will be a Legion Phone 2 and a Legion Phone Pro 2, although previously different names and versions appeared in different regions.
The UK previously got the Legion Phone 2 Duel and we’d expect the same again. In the US, it will likely have the Legion Phone Pro 2 naming. There could be an entry-level Legion Phone 2, but that might be limited to China only.
Thanks to a benchmarking leak, we’ve seen Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 and 16GB of RAM powering this device, while real-world images show off a small cooling fan on the rear of the phone, as well as the design, which creates a central section on the rear for the Legion logo, the fan and the cameras.
From the front of the phone we’re still expecting a 6.65-inch 144Hz display with stereo speakers and a pop-up camera on the side of the phone.
It’s been suggested that 130W charging will be included to power that duel-cell battery.
