Lenovo announces its new flagship gaming phone, the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2. With the number of mobile gamers increasing to over 2.6 billion last year and projected to grow in popularity, mobile gaming has entered into a golden era with a multitude of device choices and more immersive games. But not every smartphone is built the same.

If winning matters, the only way to unlock players’ gaming potential is with a smartphone designed to win. Engineered for extreme performance, with cutting-edge, gamer-first features designed to give mobile gamers a competitive advantage, the new Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 incorporates a second-generation Advanced Technology Architecture (ATA 2.0) for unparallel symmetry when playing in gamer preferred landscape mode. It’s intelligently cooled by the incredible combination of an integrated, large passive cooling vapor chamber and active Twin Turbo-Fan resulting in one complete thermal system for peak performance and reliable FPS.

Offered in sleek Ultimate Black and Titanium White hue, the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 sports RGB lighting and has a flagship Qualcomm^® Snapdragon™ 888 5G Mobile Platform, up to 18GB LPDDR5 memory and up to 512GB UFS 3.1 storage. The Octa-Trigger and Dual HaptiX feedback give the gamer a console controller-like experience that’s deeply intuitive and incredibly precise, for more immersive fun. Its large 6.92-inch AMOLED (2460 x 1080) HDR 10+ display features an ultra-fast 144Hz refresh rate and 720Hz touch sampling rate.

Held horizontally, the 44MP selfie pop-up camera lets gamers experiment with fun artificial intelligence (AI) enhanced features like background removal and the application of stylized filters and animated avatar effects. Four AI-optimized noise-canceling microphones provide better streaming quality audio even in busy environments. Inside, the dual battery with a 5,500mAh total capacity is 10 percent larger than the previous generation, while faster 90W charging and two conveniently placed USB Type-C^® ports mean cords won’t slow down gameplay. Deployed with the next-level Lenovo Legion Realm, Android™ mobile gamers have easy access to an inclusive ecosystem for their gaming needs and to feed their gaming passion, including a vibrant network of players and influencers, and the latest news, game offers and online events.

Putting More Power into People’s Hands

“Mobile games are becoming increasingly sophisticated, more immersive and require complex control skills,” said Jerry Tsao, vice president of the Mobile Gaming Group at Lenovo. “When we entered the market last year, the first thing we did was to re-invent the system architecture to focus on horizontal gaming usage which we called ATA 1.0. This past year we have continued to seek breakthroughs, and today, we’re proud to introduce our next-level ATA 2.0 with the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2—bringing together the best of gamer-focused design and immersive experiences.”

“When winning matters, so should your device. The Snapdragon 888 5G Mobile Platform is at the core of Lenovo’s new powerful smartphone with a 35 percent performance boost over the previous generation, plus a full suite of premium features,” said Alex Katouzian, senior vice president and general manager of Mobile, Compute and Infrastructure at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “The Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 is ideally designed to demonstrate the power of Qualcomm^® Snapdragon Elite Gaming™ and gives gamers full control with one of the best gaming mobile devices available.”
