Lenovo will unveil the Lenovo Legion Y70 smartphone on Aug. 13 in China. Before launch, a couple of official images of the device have surfaced to give a good look at its design.

The Legion branding reveals that the Legion Y70 will be a gaming phone. However, its images show that it will be a toned-down device as compared to the Legion Y90 that debuted in March 2022. The Chinese manufacturer has confirmed that the Y70 will come in three colors: Ice Soul White, Titanium Crystal Grey, and Flame Red. Among the three, the red variant sports a dual-tone design.

To recall, the middle portion of the Y90’s back panel features a dual-camera setup and an RGB light panel. However, the Y70 sports a regular design with a triple camera unit placed at the top-left corner. The camera setup comprises a 50-megapixel main camera with OIS support, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 2-megapixel macro snapper.

The Legion Y70 features a punch-hole display at the front. Its previous TENAA listing has revealed that it will have a 6.58-inch AMOLED FHD+ display. It will probably support a high refresh rate of up to 144Hz. It will feature a 13-megapixel front-facing camera.

The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset will power the Legion Y70. The device is expected to ship with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. It will draw power from a 4,800mAh battery, which carries support for 68W rapid charging. Its other features include an in-screen fingerprint scanner and Android 12 OS with a ZUI custom skin on top. At present, there is no information on the price of the Y70.
