Lenovo launched the Legion Dual Phone 2 on Thursday as a successor to the Legion Dual Phone that was announced last year as the brand’s first gaming phone. The Legion Dual Phone 2 is targeted at gamers and that is reflected in the design which makes the phone look like a futuristic handheld gaming rig. But how durable is the device?
Well, JerryRigEverything has provided us an answer, thanks to Lenovo who sent him a unit for the usual scratch, burn, and bend tests. The Legion Dual Phone 2 was able to withstand the scratch test which reveals the presence of a solid glass over the display and a metal frame. The phone also didn’t perform badly on the burn test as the screen began changing color after 33 seconds under the flame and didn’t fully recover after the flame is extinguished.
However, the bend test is where things went south for Lenovo’s flagship gaming phone. It took only a slight pressure applied by Zack Nelson for the phone to snap into two just by the side of the secondary display. As stated earlier, the Legion Dual Phone 2 utilizes a metal frame and one would have expected it to more solid but that didn’t out to be the case, apparently due to the dual battery design it utilizes.
The phone actually snapped along the antenna band line that is made of plastic. The same thing happened when the reviewer applied pressure on the other side of the secondary display. it snapped along the antenna band line. Perhaps, Lenovo will have to reinforce that area but the phone is reportedly on sale already in China.
Although it is unlikely that anyone would go snapping his/her device in the real sense, the device is supposed to have a much studier frame that can withstand such stress. If a user accidentally sits on it while in the back pocket, a similar thing can happen. 
Overall, the Legion Dual Phone 2 is a good phone specs-wise and even in terms of the design. We can’t say the same thing about its durability but expect Lenovo to do something about that. We’ll keep you updated on this issue if any new development pops up. Meanwhile, check out the video below.
