Reviewer score 76%The Lenovo Legion Duel 2 sits at the higher end when it comes to gaming devices. Priced at €799 for the 12GB/256GB base model, the Duel 2 costs exactly the same as the base ROG Phone 5. However, if the unusual and arguably over-the-top gaming aesthetic and slightly unwieldy design isn't your cup of tea, then the ROG phone 5 might be the better buy.

Pros
- Top-tier gaming performance
- Unique design
- 90W fast charging
- Great audio
Cons
- Over-the-top camera performance
- Unreliable fingerprint sensor
notebookcheck[2]
Reviewer score 68%Lenovo's Legion Phone Duel 2 is a well priced, comprehensively equipped gaming smartphone. The main camera can now record 8K videos due to the new SoC. The AMOLED screen is too dark for a smartphone in this price range, but it is usable for everyday use as long as you do not spend too much time outdoors.

Pros
- High-quality case

Reviewer score 77%The Lenovo Legion Phone 2 is built for gamers, and that likely means it won't be for you unless you plan to use your handset in landscape orientation. This is a thick design with the thinnest points measuring 9.9mm and the thickest part measuring 12.56mm. There is a 64MP main camera and a 16MP ultra-wide, while the phone's front-facing selfie camera is a 44MP camera. In the UK, the handset is set to start at £699 (about $950 / AU$1,250) for a model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

Reviewer score 67%Lenovo has equipped the Legion phone, suitably, with the best. It features a Snapdragon 888, 12GB of RAM and 256GB of fast UFS3.1 storage. The front-firing speakers are a pleasant surprise. They are loud, bright, offer some semblance of stereo separation and even some decent bass. The selfie camera is especially disappointing, considering it makes such an entertaining entrance.
