Probably due to the cooling solution.

I dont trust Acer's product, as in my country there is slang Asus (Awas Cepat Rusak)

    Anonymous, 11 Jun 2020 Lenovo has some really powerful and great laptops too.I was own one, their laptop is quite good. Curious about their smartphone's product.

      That combined with any flagship chipset phone should do the trick over these gaming phones. Plus the cameras are generally better than in gaming focused phones. Win-win for me.

          The key here is the price, if they can offer it for a lower price than nubia magic 5 then it will sell like hotcake.

                  It will come down to either this or the Nubia Red Magic 5G for me. The transparent edition of the Nubia looks fantastic as well :)

                  So glad these fan-cooled phones even exist!

                    Tbh Lenovo should've decreased the charging Watts and make the refresh rate higher. I'd rather have a 30w fast charger with 144hz refresh rate than a 90hz refresh rate with a 90w charge. And plus what are the odds that Lenovo will make this a global release, I can honestly see this phone being released in the Asain markets.

                      Love the Community, 10 Jun 2020We have graphics intensive games than that despicable trash... moreThey're intensive don't get me wrong but not that intensive that you go out and purchase a gaming phone to play these type games. The Snapdragon 720G can probably run these games completely fine tbh, maybe some frame rate dip here and there but hardly enough that will make u stop playing the game

                        ROG 3
                        Black shark 3
                        Red magic 5g
                        New Lenovo phone

                        this year is going to be interesting, although it's definitely going to be between ROG 3 and Lenovo.

Honkai Impact, Vainglory, Mobile Legends, Raid: Shadow Legends and other games that I can't seem to remember but don't ever use Candy Crush as an argument. It's pathetic and us, gamers are trying to end that stigma/negative stereotype of a modern mobile gamer.

                            Their phones only available in china.
                            Every brands lie for sales. All business are like that.
                            .
                            What ever lenovo never said their phone have 4TB memory or most powerful SD865 phones.
                            Some leakers are making up stories.

                              It will be faster by up to 5%* while being 50g heavier and about a half day battery life because of the active cooling ;).

                              * In extreme cases like playing modern 3D games.

                                Fearghast, 10 Jun 2020"outperform" by 1% ... what a good trade off for Lenovo aby... moreI agree that mobile gaming is a joke, scam to get people pay money to "win". That said, the biggest issue with mobile gaming is the lack of functional cooling. Throttling due to overheating LTE or GPU is guaranteed when gaming on mobile. So, these phones does have a purpose.
                                The lie they're selling that the base performance is better is however redundant. I doubt Lenovo is getting a custom processor from Qualcomm with 5-10% better performance than other manufacturers. On PC, it happens to a slight extent to allow manufacturers to fit their offers into "incomparable" spaces between other processors. But, I have not heard of mobile processor plants printing custom mobile processors.

                                  "outperform" by 1% ... what a good trade off for Lenovo abysmal support.
                                  That Candy Crash sure does stress my Snapdragon 865 to its limits.
                                  Gaming on iOS or Android is a sad, pathetic joke.

                                    Yes, outperform by 3% big deal.
                                    Nobody needs another gaming phone really.
                                    Just buy the cheapest SD865 device and that's about it.
                                    For 5-10% better performance you are shelving out 3-400$ more.

                                      Lenovo Legion... Probably the mightest Gaming Superiority handset... On the planet... Could this be better than the black shark 3 Pro or the red magic 5g or the RoG phone 3?... It's actually highly possible.
