Lenovo Legion Gaming Phone May Have Side-Mounted Popup Camera, 5,000mAh Battery

May. 5, 2020



Lenovo is all set to launch itsfirst Legion-branded gaming smartphonethis year, and has been releasing a number of teasers to hype-up its upcoming device prior to its official announcement. Now,XDAclaims to have stumbled upon a bunch of what it describes as“unreleased teaser videos”that seem to reveal some of the notable design elements and key tech specs of the first-generation Legion smartphone.

According to the report, one of the videos highlight the phone’s90W fast-chargingcredentials that can apparently juice-up the batteryfrom 0-100 percent in just 30 minutes. What’s also notable is that the company isn’t sacrificing battery capacity either because a separate video revealed that the device will ship with a sizeable 5,000mAh dual-cell unit. However, in what might be disappointing to some would-be buyers,the phone will not have a 3.5mm audio jack.

The report further suggests that the device will have a dual-camera setup (64MP+16MP wide-angle) at the back, but the really interesting part is thepopup front-camera module (with a single 20MP sensor) that’s located on the side of the phone. Most devices that implement the popup mechanism for selfie cameras have them at the top, so it will be interesting to see if the novel placement helps or hampers the functioning of the device.
