Lenovo’s Legion Phone Duel 2 has not one but two cooling fans

Lenovo’s next gaming phone was leaked earlier this week, but now the company is officially sharing details about the new device, called the Legion Phone Duel 2. It is a beast in every way – with a 6.92-inch screen, it is a huge phone that houses two Battery, two USB-C port, and two The actual spinning fan, as well as a camera bump that makes us regret a little bit. We already used “He’s not the moon; This is a space station “joke on Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra.

Some of its features are from Lenovo’s original Android gaming phone, Legion Phone Duel, which includes a twin USB-C port and a pop-up selfie camera designed for streamers. Like the original Duel, Lenovo also maintains the phone’s unusual choice of centering the other two cameras backwards, but now when the camera bump is a key intake fan and a hidden exhaust fan, each with its own vent. Lenovo says that the split design keeps the heat away from your hands.

They help with fans, vapor chambers, the Duel 2 funnel in cold air, and the new Snapdragon 888 processor, up to 18 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. It runs on Lenovo’s ZUI 12.5, which the company says is based on Android 11.

The Duel 2 comes in either “Titanium White” or “Ultimate Black”, but it’s actually the camera bump, Legion logo, and fan hole that makes the Duel 2 look like nothing else in the market – except, perhaps, the Asus ROG Phone 5 The final snapping with its unusual rear screen and optional fan attachment. Lenovo did not mention in its announcement whether the Dual 2’s colorful back design is lit with customizable lighting, but even without the glare, this RGB-lit gaming game takes place on someone’s desk with a gaming PC Seems ready

On the front, the Duel 2 features a 2,460 x 1,080 144Hz high-refresh rate OLED display with 800 nits brightness (max 1300 nits), which should be more than bright for outdoor sports. It is physically larger than its predecessor at 6.92 inches above the 6.65-inch display. Looking at the screen in the landscape, the Duel 2’s pop-up 44-megapixel selfie camera (above 20 megapixels) can be used for live streaming or video chat, just like the original one, with background removal. There is still a 64-megapixel main camera around the back, as well as a 16-megapixel ultravide.

The dual’s two USB-C ports – one on the long side of the phone and one below – can be used for 90W fast charging if you buy an optional adapter, and Lenovo claims to use two phones simultaneously using them. – Different 2,750 mAh battery can be filled in 30 minutes. Using two cables to charge one phone at a time is like a funny image, but when you buy a Legion Phone Duel 2, these types of thoughts go out the window.

There is nothing unusual about this.

Lenovo says that a full charge should give you “up to 8 hours” of “intermittent gameplay”.

The Duel 2 comes with 5G connectivity, in this case support for both the sub 6GHz and mmWave spectrum, theoretically serving faster video and game streaming, and dual-SIM for two connections at a time. To recreate some of the experience of using the controller while you play, Duel 2 has four “shoulder” buttons, enabled via hepatic feedback and ultrasonic sensors on the sides of the phone, Two capacitive touch points on the back and two force touch points in the display. (Haptics are provided by a pair of linear motors, another place where Lenovo decided one was insufficient.)

There are also more specs to put on, so if you want the full picture, we’d recommend digging into Lenovo’s spec sheet:

As a whole package, Duality 2 shares some similarities with its rivals. The Asus ROG 5 Ultimate also has several USB-C ports, a unique method for emulating additional button input, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 processor, and an optional clip-on cooling fan. The Xiaomi Black Shark 4 Pro features physically lifting physical buttons as well as an optional fan accessory. And some gaming phones have had built-in fans in the past: look no further than the Nubia Red Magic 3 for devices with additional cooling from the get-go.

With many gaming phones, the important question may be availability. Currently, Lenovo plans to release the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 in China this month, and it should arrive in Europe later in May. The European model will retail as a standalone phone with 12GB and 256GB respectively for € 999 (about $ 1818) with 16GB RAM, 512GB storage and a bundled charge dock or € 799 (around $ 948).

Lenovo has not yet announced whether Duel 2 will arrive in the US.
