In recent years, Lenovo has launched a gaming phone each year. This year, that phone should be the Legion Y90 that's expected to launch on 23 March 2022. However, sources suggest that Lenovo may have a second gaming phone in store for us in 2022.

According to Evan Blass, Lenovo is also working on a smartphone codenamed 'Halo'. Based on the renders provided, this is a Lenovo Legion-branded device that has a more standard smartphone design. The phone will allegedly come with the Qualcomm SM8475 chipset, which is believed to be a variant of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. In our opinion, this could be an overclocked version like the Snapdragon 888+ is to the Snapdragon 888.

In addition, this device would also come with the following memory configurations: 8/12/16GB LPDDR5 RAM with 128/256GB UFS 3.1 storage. It also has a 5000mAh battery with 68W fast charging, 50MP+13MP+2MP rear triple-camera, and a 16MP punch-hole front camera.
