Lenovo Legion Y90 with 144Hz screen and dual-engine air-cooling is arriving on January 1

24 December 2021
The display measures 6.92" diagonally.

Sort by:

It doesn't matter if it can "continue playing games at 120fps and remain comparatively cool even after 20-30 minutes of gaming", is that at full GPU utilization? And why would it throttle after 20-30 minutes with active cooling? This isn't passive cooling, it should quickly reach a maximum temperature and not go beyond that.

    Please don't buy Lenovo gamming phone, the legion phone provides great hardware, but their software are just so bad, that it can't gives you the good user experience.
    Freeze, auto restart, apps compatible issues, you name it.
    Not to mention they do not have "parallel app" function, and the gesture customization is locked.
    And there is no firmware update for Global version since June 2021 to fix these bugs and improvement.
    There are so many 1st and 2nd gen unanswered posts in the forums regarding to firmwares issues, and now they are releasing this 3rd gen.
    I personally strongly don't suggest anyone to buy the Legion phone, their software just not mature enough, just buy something else if you don't want to pay to be their lab rats.

      Mr. Kroniks, 26 Dec 2021Yeah, I mean, if you spell it, you get "why ninety" :)Lol fax man that do be facts tho.

                  Gaming phones make no sense because mobile games are still a huge joke.

                    Anonymous, 25 Dec 2021People are getting ripped off mobile games. Even console pl... moreConsole players pay Nintendo Online, Xbox live, Playstation Plus.. etc etc.
                    PC gamers pay scalpers for their GPU / huge electric bills / LED lights / chairs etc etc.
                    Mobile gamers pay to win. So if you just a casual.. or do not really care about winning or the best gear.. its the cheapest of them all!

                      Mobiles FPS game is getting bad idk what to play anymore don't know I should get a gaming phone better play on pc or laptop or Nintendo switch more fun and no pay to win on mobile

                        rizki1, 25 Dec 2021gaming phone is getting faster and cooler. but mobile games... morePeople are getting ripped off mobile games. Even console players are smart not to spend above $60 in games. That’s why games like COD MW 2022 have potential to flop because of the price.

                          gaming phone is getting faster and cooler. but mobile games a lot of stupid p2w. Before 2015 there were lots of games with cool stories from gameloft

                            Probably 122FPS on Mobile Legends or similar games. Meh

                              I thought the rumor is gonna be a gaming Tablet with an 8 to 9 inches screen which is a perfect rival for iPad Mini. But is just another phone with a massive screen. Not worth it. I'm gonna wait for iPad Mini with 120hz screen.

                                BigDisplay, 24 Dec 2021So you dont have any problems at all, its just to set it as... moreThe issue is that the punch hole is much more expensive than the bezel, and even than the pop-up.
                                You may for additional display that you'll not use, is fragile as it isn't structural, and rather than all the amazing sensors we had before the notch followed by the punch holes killed them :
                                https://www.systemplus.fr/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/S9_Samsung_Front_view_System_Plus_Consulting.png
                                We are stuck with only a single camera and ambient light and proximity sensors are both under the display where they are less effective and cost more.

                                And unlike a bezel where you can simply hide the camera using a camera privacy shutter, you can't do much on a punch hole or a notch, even putting your finger on it will make the tactile go crazy and prevent you from doing something else.

                                  BigDisplay, 24 Dec 2021But hey some of us know its there and dont care about it...... moreIt shouldn't, it is as stupid as if one day car manufactures stopped making windshield wipers and suddenly decided to make only cars without windshield at all and that except for some obscure or niche brands (Maybach), every car except quadricycle (like the Renault Twizy, who doesn't require a driving license) also didn't have this.

                                  No, this can't be the norm, the punch hole and the notch have NOTHING to be made a standard out of, those are wonky solutions that are nice as an occasional feature but not much.

                                  And well, there was pop-up front camera, like the Poco F2 Pro, and we almost had smartphones with no front camera at all, but haters killed them...

                                      A gaming smartphone without an SD card is like a computer without any USB ports but only wireless options, completely stupid and unnecessary.
                                      And a smartphone without a 3.5mm Jack is a stupid, useless and unnecessary as a car without any steering wheel but with motion detectors instead that will track your hand motion.

                                        I really want to see more options, and I won't complain if it is pop-up as it is one of my favorite solution/design.
