After staying away from the smartphone market for several years, Lenovo has officially returned with the new Lenovo Legion Y70 in China. The company’s last branded gaming phone was the Legion Y90, which launched back in 2022.
Now, Lenovo is trying to re-enter the gaming phone segment with hardware that has flagship-grade specs.
Lenovo Legion Y70 Specifications
The Legion Y70 comes with a 6.82-inch BOE Q10 OLED display featuring a 2K resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, and LTPO technology for adaptive refresh rates. Lenovo says the panel can reach up to 7,000 nits of peak brightness and also supports Dolby Vision.
Powering the device is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, paired with LPDDR5X Ultra RAM running at up to 9,600 Mbps and UFS 4.1 storage. You can choose between 12GB RAM with 256GB storage, 12GB with 512GB, and 16GB with 512GB. There is also a higher-end variant with 1TB of storage.
For cooling, Lenovo uses a large 5,500 mm² vapor chamber system, which the company claims can reduce CPU temperatures by up to 7 degrees Celsius during heavy workloads like gaming.
Backing this up is a massive 8,000mAh battery. The phone supports 90W fast charging and also includes bypass charging. Lenovo claims the battery is designed to maintain long-term health for up to 1,200 charging cycles.
On the camera side, the Legion Y70 features a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-710 main sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, along with an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera capable of focusing as close as 2.5cm for macro-style shots. A 32-megapixel front camera handles selfies and video calls.
The phone also includes features such as IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, eSIM support, a 500Hz gyroscope, and Android 16 with Lenovo’s Tianxi AI 4.0 software features.
Price and Availability
The Legion Y70 is currently available for pre-order in China in Ice Soul White and Carbon Black color options. Pricing starts at CNY 3,099 for the 12GB + 256GB model, which roughly converts to around $450.
