The Legion Y90 gaming smartphone has appeared with its L71061 model number in TENAA’s database. The listing states that the gaming phone features a 6.9-inch screen that offers an FHD+ resolution of 1080 x 2460 pixels and an in-screen fingerprint scanner.

The camera details are incorrectly mentioned in the listing. Previous reports have revealed that there will be a 64-megapixel (main) + 16-megapixel (ultrawide) dual-camera setup on the backside of the Legion Y90. For selfies, it will feature a 44-megapixel camera on the bezel above the display.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 octa-core chipset is present under the hood of the Legion Y90. The TENAA listing states that China will be receiving the Y90 in 8 GB / 10 GB / 12 GB / 16 GB RAM variants and 128 GB / 256 GB / 512 GB of storage. The Y90 is expected to come with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. It is likely to come preloaded with Android 12 OS.

The Legion Y90 is backed by a 5,600mAh (typical value) dual-cell battery. However, only the rated value of one of the cells as 2,650mAh is mentioned in the TENAA listing. It is known through the 3C certification of the Y90 that it may carry support for 68W fast charging. For security, it has an under-display fingerprint scanner.

The Y90 has 177 x 78.1 x 10.9mm dimensions and weighs 252 grams. The handset is expected to arrive in multiple colors such as black, white, blue, cyan, green, gold, red, silver, and grey.
