The Lenovo Legion Duel is Lenovo’s first entry into the smartphone gaming market. Lenovo is providing an extremely powerful gaming smartphone that competes with models like the Asus Rog Phone 3. Gamer aesthetics define the Lenovo Legion Duel design. Which in a way makes it comfortable for gamers.
It has vibrant colour highlights that resemble the lighting on gaming computers. Blazing Blue and Vengeance Red are two of the possible colours. To achieve optimum ergonomics when gaming, the chassis positions were logically organized. Some of the steps made included positioning the pop-up camera and USB ports on the side.
Your smartphone is typically held horizontally while you play games on it. Fans won’t experience the inconvenience that comes with the obstruction the USB chord presents when plugged in the conventional bottom position thanks to the charging port being on the side.
The pop-up camera’s side placement is also intended to increase ergonomics. While playing video games, you won’t likely take selfies, but if you have to broadcast a live game, having the pop-up camera on the top is not really comfortable because your hands will obstruct the view.
Lenovo then made a strange step that would initially seem unusual when it came to the rear panel. Compared to what we are used to seeing, the back cameras were positioned a little lower. The purpose of Lenovo’s move is to stop your camera from smudging when you hold the phone in landscape orientation. Moving up, we have a 6.65-inch AMOLED display that is comparable to the Red magic 5G in size, resolution, screen density (or PPI), and refresh rate (or Hz).
Ultrasonic Trigger Buttons
Having gaming buttons on your smartphone’s display definitely takes up some of the available space. This is the rationale for Lenovo’s decision to use touch-sensitive points instead of the Air Triggers found on the Asus Rog Phone 3 Strix and its more expensive brother.
These delicate touch points, also known as ultrasonic trigger buttons, can be programmed to operate as controls for various gameplay actions.
The Cameras
The Lenovo Legion Duel’s cameras aren’t as extravagant as some of the other features. When compared to devices like the Black Shark 3 pro, which has a more complex camera configuration, it falls short.
Two cameras—a 64MP primary camera with an f/1.9 aperture and a 16MP ultrawide camera with an f/2.2 aperture—are housed in the back camera system. The maximum video resolution and frame rate for this arrangement are 4k and 30fps. For photographs, you also get Panorama and HDR.
A 20MP side-mounted motorized pop-up camera with an f/2.2 aperture controls selfies. The maximum resolution for videos is 4K at 30 frames per second. HDR is also available for photographs.
