Besides, Lenovo has a lot more expertise on gaming, power management and cooling than ZTE NUBIA.
Ever wondered why Lenovo/Motorola's phones have so better battery efficiency and thermal ?

    How are you going to hold the phone with two fans attached to it? So weird.

      And let's not forget that cooling on a mobile phone has many limitations. In many cases the passive cooling do not directly cool the SoC, just transfers heat away from it (hence called passive). Gaming PCs can directly cool the CPU (active cooling) and gives increased performance more dramatically.

      Also you can upgrade many gaming PCs (laptop/dekstop) more easily, whether it is replacing an SSD or the VGA/GPU.

        Meanwhile their first Legion phone is barely getting updated lol. People are reporting bugs and are stuck a on an old security patch loool.
        If you're going to splurge on a gaming phone, just get an Asus ROG 3.

              It's much more rational to just buy a gaming PC that will serve you longer.

                Anonymous, 03 Mar 2021Will this cooling system be better than ROG 5? ROG phones don't have active cooling.
                So yes Legion should be better.

                  Snapdragon 888 is such a mess that it requires two fans to cool it down if you want more performance than 865 lol.

                        Red Magic did it first and is already on its 6th iteration with more mature technology than Lienovo.

                          Ideal of a phone, lightweight, portable, quiet, with long battery life.

                          Now, its noisy, heavy, non portable because you have to plugin to power those fans and your overheating... almost like a junk laptop.
