Latest News:  lenovo legion

You read that right. After just making its debut in 2020, Lenovo has decided to pull the plug on its Lenovo Legion gaming phone series. The mobile gaming phone division of Lenovo got shut down just last week.

Most don't expect tablets from Lenovo, but the company does have a few models, including gaming tablets under the Legion branding. Last year, it was the Legion Y700. This coming week, Lenovo will be launching its successor - the Legion Y900.

It's Lenovo's turn and the company is excited to announce its new Lenovo LA AI chip. This chip is the world's first dedicated AI which is installed on the new Lenovo Legion Pro 7 and 7i (16”, 8) and the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 and 5i (16”, 8) gaming laptops.

After being in the rumour mills for a while, Lenovo finally launched the Lenovo Legion Y70 in China. Packing top-of-the-line specs, the highlight feature of the smartphone has got to be its 6.67-inch 144Hz flat AMOLED display.

Today, Lenovo Malaysia has finally launched the much-awaited and latest Lenovo Legion lineup. There are a total of four variants - the Lenovo Legion 5i Pro, Legion 5 Pro, Legion 5i and Legion 5 from a starting price of RM5299. 

Earlier, sources claimed that Lenovo's first Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 smartphone, Legion Y70, will launch on 13 August. However, it turns out to be the wrong date, as the official announcement has arrived. The device is now scheduled to debut on 18 August, with some other tech specs confirmed.

Previously, we reported how Lenovo teased the back design of the upcoming Lenovo Legion Y70 smartphone as well as its alleged 13 August 2022 release date. Now, the Chinese tech company has done one better and revealed the overall design of the upcoming gaming-centric smartphone.

Lenovo is refreshing its Legion gaming smartphone lineup with a device that packs the latest flagship chipset. The Legion Y70 is scheduled to show up on 13 August with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip. It's also a device that looks like most standard smartphones on the market despite being gaming-centric.

Editor's note - Updated with price and availability as of 17 August 2022. The Legion 5 Pro starts from RM7399

The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro last year was one of my favourite gaming laptops of 2021, so I was quite excited to review it again this year. However, the Legion 5 Pro 2022 variant I reviewed is not available in Malaysia yet. According to Lenovo Malaysia, this gaming laptop is scheduled for sometime in the third quarter of 2022. 

Since it's not been released yet, that means we don't have an official price tag. However, the estimated local price for the laptop could start from RM8,299! So is it worth getting one? To learn more about the features and performance, check out my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (2022) review below.

Over the last few weeks, Lenovo has been busy teasing its new Legion mobile devices. Yesterday, the company unveiled the Legion Y700 - a gaming tablet with good tech specs at a reasonable price. Well, Lenovo also revealed the Lenovo Legion Y90 gaming smartphone too.
