Gaming phones have been declining in recent years, with brands shifting away from gaming aesthetics toward mainstream designs. Even ASUS has stopped making new ROG gaming phones. Funny enough, Lenovo is making a return to the gaming phones scene.

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.

As expected, Lenovo continues to reveal more and more details of its upcoming gaming phone each day. Yesterday, we got a glimpse of how well the Legion Pro gaming phone's dual-speakers could perform. But today is the big one, as we finally get to see what the phone looks like in a real-world scenario.

Boy, has there been a lot of news on the upcoming Lenovo Legion gaming phone lately or what? We already know that it will have two liquid-cooling chambers, dual-haptic motors, and a side-mounted pop-up camera. But now we also get to see more of its powerful speakers, which Lenovo teased in its latest video.

After being spotted on AnTuTu, the Lenovo Legion gaming smartphone has appeared again on Geekbench before it launches on 22 July. The device has scored a remarkable 648,871 on AnTuTu thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ chipset. With Geekbench, the device has scored 4556 in the single-core test and 13,438 in the multi-core test, proving itself as a gaming device to be excited for.

It was only a few hours ago that Qualcomm officially announced the Snapdragon 865+ chipset's existence, and it will be making the first debut on both the ASUS ROG Phone 3 and Lenovo Legion gaming smartphone. Speaking of the latter, it seems that Lenovo is going head-to-head with ASUS by launching their gaming device on the same day which is 22 July 2020.

As speculated over the past few weeks, Qualcomm have finally revealed the long-awaited Snapdragon 865+ 5G Mobile Platform. Presented by Senior Vice President and General Manager of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc, Alex Katouzian said this new chipset will more powerful in terms of gameplay and a more "intuitive" AI.

If you haven't been keeping up with the Lenovo Legion gaming smartphone news, you should know that the device will be releasing soon in July this month. While there's no exact date given yet, AnTuTu has just showcased the gaming device's score from its benchmark testing.

Some of us were surprised when Lenovo announced that it had a new phone in the works. The company hasn't been focusing on smartphones in recent years but does plan to release the Lenovo Legion gaming phone in 2020. Recently, an image showing the device was leaked on Weibo.

Lenovo Malaysia launched their first Lenovo Legion concept store here in Malaysia at the Ground Floor of the Digital Mall in Petaling Jaya. The 930-square foot concept store offers 4 gaming stations, a VR experience zone and a chance for gamers in Malaysia to come check out Lenovo Legion machines and devices for themselves.
