Lenovo Legion Phone Duel
Gadgets|January 2021
Geming has absolutely exploded over the course of the pandemic, with mobile gaming being an even bigger thing than expected. Mobile gaming in particular is accessible, convenient, and has a reasonably low cost of entry. Lenovo wants a chunk of that mobile gaming pie, and they hope to take it with the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel. Do they hit the mark? Let’s find out.

DESIGN

The Legion Phone Duel is designed to remove any doubt that it is a gaming phone. Plenty of red accents, a sharp Legion logo, and lots of graphics on the back scream “gaming device.” It even has the legion tagline “Stylish outside, savage inside” on there for good measure. Say what you want about it, but at least the brand knows who they’re targeting.

There are some interesting design differences between the Duel and the usual smartphone. First off, the two main camera modules can be found just off the very center of the rear of the device. The front camera is a pop-up affair, though it resides centrally on the edge of the right side of the phone, instead of the top edge. There are also two USB-C connectors on the phone, on on the bottom edge, and another on the edge opposite the pop-up camera module. Individually, these seem like odd changes, but once you consider that it’s a phone that’s meant to spend a lot of time in landscape mode, it makes a lot of sense.

It’s also a chunky piece of tech. It will take up most of the space in your pocket and will absolutely let you know it is there thanks to its weight. Thankfully, it’s not exceedingly thick, so it won’t create a particularly unsightly bulge.
