The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC-equipped smartphone from Lenovo has officially been released. The Legion Y70 is an inexpensive gaming phone that appears much more like a typical smartphone for daily usage.
The Lenovo Legion Y70 looks like an ordinary phone since it is completely devoid of any gaming flair. It is still centred around a stunning 6.67-inch OLED gaming display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a staggering 1500Hz touch sampling rate for quick inputs. It has a 1080p screen that supports HDR10+ and has a peak brightness of 1000 nits. Regarding the placement of the fingerprint sensor, Lenovo has made no comments.
This phone boasts “up to 10 layers” of cooling technologies, including numerous graphite sheets and the largest VC on the market at 5,047 sq. mm, which is just 0.55 mm thick on its own, according to Lenovo.
Qualcomm’s most recent and finest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, with choices for 8/12/16GB LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB/256GB/512GB UFS 3.1 versions, graces the internals. Due to the built-in storage capacity of up to 512GB, most users won’t need a microSD card slot to expand their storage.
On top of Android 12 is Lenovo’s ZUI 14 software.
A 50MP 1/1.55″ sensor with OIS, a 13MP ultrawide camera with a 120-degree field of view, and a 2MP depth sensor are used as the main camera’s components. This 8K-capable camera can also capture 1080p films in slow motion and 4K videos at 60 frames per second.
The 16MP selfie camera with a punch-hole can record 4K movies.
Lenovo did not cut corners on battery life to reduce expenses. 68W rapid charging is supported by the 5,100 mAh power battery. In just 34 minutes, this can fully charge the battery.
The Lenovo Legion Y70 starts at around $485 in China. Due to the fact that it is a gaming phone, it will also come with a few practical extras, like a protective case with cooling features, shoulder triggers that can be attached, and a cooling fan similar to the ROG phone from Asus.
