Back in April 2020, Lenovo teased its 90W fast charging smartphone, which is finally on the verge of launch. The Lenovo Legion gaming phone will launch in China on July 22, 2020, and will be the world’s first smartphone to be powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus 5G processor.
As per a new promotional poster teased by Lenovo on the Chinese microblogging website Weibo, the Lenovo Legion gaming phone will feature a 5,000mAh battery, which is claimed to be fully charged in just 30 minutes owing to the 90W fast charging. The device will make use of a hybrid power flash charging architecture, which the company dubs Twin Turbo charging.
As seen in the poster, the device will have two USB Type-C charging ports, making it easier to charge the device during long gaming sessions, as one can make use of either the bottom port or the side-mounted port.
When the tech was officially teased by Lenovo in April, 90W of fast charging speed could have been the fastest commercially available fast charging technology, but things have changed over the past few months. OPPO has already unveiled its 125W fast charging technology. Realme has followed suit with 125W Ultra-Dart fast charging technology and iQOO has introduced its 120W fast charging technology. That being said, the above-mentioned brands are yet to launch a device that makes use of such fast charging. Lenovo, on the other hand, has a device that will be available in the market in no time. Though not as fast as the charging tech other brands have teased lately, the Lenovo Legion phone will still charge from 0% to 100% in 30 minutes while occupying a 5,000mAh cell.

Moving on to the rest of the specifications of the device, the Lenovo Legion gaming phone will reportedly feature a dual rear camera setup. The device is said to report Android 10, but the UI will allegedly be more inclined towards providing the user with more of a handheld console experience, so the majority of the UI elements on the Lenovo Legion phone are going to be in landscape mode, as per previous reports.
As of now, this is all the intel that we have about the upcoming Lenovo Legion gaming phone, but you can read more about the phone from our rumor roundup story. We won’t have to wait for too long for more details, as the device is launching in three days from now.
