To recap, the Lenovo Legion Duel comes with a notchless 6.65-inch display with a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels, 144Hz refresh rate, and 240Hz touch sampling rate. Unique to the phone is its side mounted pop-up selfie camera which is designed to be used in the horizontal orientation for gaming. It also features an in-display fingerprint sensor, dual stereo front-facing speakers and two ultrasonic air trigger buttons on its side.
Powering the gaming smartphone is a Snapdragon 865+ SoC paired with up to 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The Legion Duel includes a split-cell 5,000mAh battery with 90W Turbo Power Charging technology.
