As the July 22 launch date for the Lenovo Legion gaming smartphone draws nearer, more and more details of the device continue to emerge. The renders of the Legion Gaming phone recently made the rounds showing a spectacular design.

Live images of the Lenovo Legion Pro have now appeared online via a hands-on video that was added by a Weibo user. The pictures capture the display of the device with the pop-up selfie camera in action as well as the unique rear cameras. The Legion will feature a spectacular camera design with the selfie shooter located at the side edge. The location of the front camera makes it possible to video chat while gaming.

Also, the device packs a dual-camera setup at the rear but the location of the camera is slightly moved into the middle of the back panel. This is perhaps in a bid to make it possible to snap photos and shoot videos even while gaming.

The Legion Gaming Phone Pro is expected to feature a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen with support for Full HD+ resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. The phone will emerge as the first model powered by a  Snapdragon 865 Plus SoC. The phone will come with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
