Design and Display

Design-wise, we have the same gamer-oriented design we have on the Lenovo Legion duel. If you loved the former, then you are certainly going to feel at home here because they are both the same, there is no telling which is which.

The design is characterized by bright color accents, that tries to mimic the RGB lighting affiliated with gaming PC builds. The bright color accents spawn from the rear to the front.

The rear of this smartphone is home to dual cameras, placed a position that is quite different from what we used to see on other smartphones of this nature.

The cameras were placed near the mid-position of the rear. Lenovo claims they made this move to prevent enthusiasts from smudging the camera while the phone is held horizontally.

It’s for a somewhat similar reason Lenovo also placed the selfie pop-up camera as well as an extra USB-C port on the side. It’s all about making room for good ergonomics. Having the pop-up camera on the side means enthusiasts will be able to record commentary during gameplay.

Front of this smartphone, you will find a 6.65 inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2340, a screen density of 388 PPI, and a 144Hz refresh rate, kind of what we saw on the Red magic 5G.

Ultrasonic Trigger Buttons

Still, on Ergonomics, Ultrasonic trigger buttons are also a thing with the Lenovo legion pro. It’s basically the same implementation as the air triggers on the Asus Rog phone 3.

The Ultrasonic trigger buttons are basically touch-sensitive points on the side of the smartphone. These points can be programmed to work as controls for the game.

The Lenovo Legion pro is no slouch. It features an Octa-core Qualcomm snapdragon 865 plus processor, which is 10% faster than the regular snapdragon 865 processor.

Please note that this 90W fast charge can only be attained when using two chargers. This means you would have to plug chargers into the two ports on the smartphone. The 90W fast charge is expected to give a 50% charge in 10 mins and 100% charge in 30 mins.

Other fast charge capacities include 65W for variants with 12GB RAM and 45W for variants with 8GB RAM
