Lenovo made its entry into the gaming smartphone market with the launch of the Legion Phone Pro/Legion Phone Duel last year. This year, it followed it up with the Legion Phone 2 Pro a.k.a. Legion Phone Duel 2. Now it has revealed details of its successor which will launch as the Legion Phone 3 Pro.

The General Manager of Lenovo China Mobile Division, Chen Jin, took to Weibo earlier today to talk about Qualcomm’s upcoming processor with part number SM8450. Multiple reports have revealed that it will launch as the Snapdragon 898.

The post mentioned that the chipset, which will power the Legion Phone 3 Pro, will bring a new flagship GPU with a significantly upgraded performance. He also claims that the flagship phone will feature industry-leading fine-tuned performance.

Mr. Jin also took the chance to market the Legion Phone 2 Pro. He stated that the Snapdragon 888-powered phone is now discounted and worth buying.

It is also worth noting that it appears Lenovo does not plan on launching another gaming phone this year even though its competitors are planning to or have already launched refreshed models powered by the Snapdragon 888 Plus processor.

The Snapdragon 898 should launch by the end of the year going by Qualcomm’s previous announcements. The chipset should be announced at the annual Qualcomm summit and if all goes well, we may even see the first smartphones powered by the processor get announced before the year ends.

Samsung will be the foundry in charge of producing the 4nm processor. Leaks have revealed it will have a Kryo 760 CPU, an Adreno 730 GPU, Spectra 680 ISP, and a Snapdragon X65 5G modem.
