Design and DisplayDesign-wise, we have the same gamer-oriented design we have on the Lenovo Legion duel. If you loved the former, then you are certainly going to feel at home here because they are both the same, there is no telling which is which.
The design is characterized by bright color accents, that tries to mimic the RGB lighting affiliated with gaming PC builds. The bright color accents spawn from the rear to the front.
The rear of this smartphone is home to dual cameras, placed a position that is quite different from what we used to see on other smartphones of this nature.
The cameras were placed near the mid-position of the rear. Lenovo claims they made this move to prevent enthusiasts from smudging the camera while the phone is held horizontally.
It’s for a somewhat similar reason Lenovo also placed the selfie pop-up camera as well as an extra USB-C port on the side. It’s all about making room for good ergonomics. Having the pop-up camera on the side means enthusiasts will be able to record commentary during gameplay.
Ultrasonic Trigger ButtonsStill, on Ergonomics, Ultrasonic trigger buttons are also a thing with the Lenovo legion pro. It’s basically the same implementation as the air triggers on the Asus Rog phone 3.
The Ultrasonic trigger buttons are basically touch-sensitive points on the side of the smartphone. These points can be programmed to work as controls for the game.
The CamerasThe cameras are exactly the same as that of the Lenovo legion duel. It’s the same dual-camera setup on the rear and the same single side-mounted popup selfie camera.
The dual rear camera setup comprises a 64MP primary camera with an aperture of f/1.9 and a 16MP ultrawide camera with an aperture of f/2.2. This setup is capable of shooting videos maxed at 4k @ 30fps. You also get HDR and Panoroma for photos.
