Product Overview

Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 is a flagship 5G gaming smartphone powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888 chipset which is aided by active Twin Turbo-Fan cooling system with a large vapor chamber.

Designed for hardcore gamers, the Legion Phone Duel 2 comes with some of the most advanced features available in the industry today, including up to 18GB LPDDR5 memory and 512GB UFS 3.1 storage. It is fronted with a 6.92-inch AMOLED FHD+ HDR10+ display with 144Hz refresh rate and 720Hz touch sampling rate—all the best available on the market today.

Lenovo has also endowed the Legion Phone Duel 2 with a range of unique gaming features. It comes with Octa-Trigger and Dual HaptiX feedback that offer a gaming experience comparable to console controllers. A center-mounted 44MP pop-up camera with four noise cancelling microphones make streaming natural.

Reviewer score 76% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from androidauthority have found:

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

Reviewers from notebookcheck have found:

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
Good performance
Good battery runtimes

Cons

No DC dimming
High temperatures under load

Reviewers from techradar have found:

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.

Pros

Gorgeous display
Good battery life

Cons

Camera isn’t great for gaming
No wireless charging

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.

Pros

Powerful processor
Good battery life
Good cameras

Cons

No wireless charging
No selfie camera
