With the launch of the Lenovo Legion Y90 being just around the corner, let’s have a look at all the rumored and confirmed specifics and features that we know about the upcoming gaming smartphone.
Design
Since the upcoming Legion Y90 is a gaming smartphone, the Chinese smartphone maker has placed an emphasis on its design, especially in regards to its thermal management system. The company has previously teased its Double Engine Air Cooling technology, which it claims will help keep the device’s temperature in check despite playing intensive multiplayer games at high framerates. While the device looks like any other modern smartphone from the front, the rear panel would likely feature a gaming aesthetic with the “Legion” branding and physical fans as well, for its air cooling mechanism.
Specifications & Display
Under the hood, the device is expected to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset, which will be paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. Arriving at its display, Lenovo has officially revealed that the Legion Y90 will feature a large AMOLED display that measures 6.92 inches. The panel is a Samsung E4 AMOLED screen that supports a 144Hz refresh rate and a 720Hz touch sampling rate. One of its highlighting features will be the anti blue display and HDR support. The screen will have an anti blue light eye protection certification ensuring that it lowers the blue light getting emitted from the screen.
Pricing and Availability
Unfortunately, the pricing and availability details regarding the upcoming Lenovo gaming smartphone are still unknown. While it was initially rumored that the company will be unveiling the device during the CES 2022 event, it was officially announced that the Legion Y90 smartphone will be announced on the New Year, which is 1st January 2022. So stick around as we wil be covering the launch event.
