Earlier this year, Lenovo announced the Lenovo Legion Y90, a gaming-focused smartphone. The company is now reportedly working on a toned-down gaming smartphone featuring the all-new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip onboard. It carries the “Halo” codename, but there is no word on its final marketing name. The alleged device has bagged approval from the 3C authorities of China, which indicates that it will not take too long to go official in the homeland.
An upcoming Lenovo smartphone with the
L71901 model number has surfaced in the database of China’s 3C authority (via).
The listing reveals that it may ship with a 68W charger. While the marketing
name of the L71901 is yet to be confirmed, it seems to be the Legion Halo phone
that leaked at the beginning of this year.
The Legion Halo device is expected to
feature a p-OLED panel of 6.67 inches. It may carry support for a Full HD+
resolution, a 44Hz refresh rate, and a 300Hz touch sampling rate. The phone
will be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC and 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM.
The Halo phone will be equipped with a
5,000mAh battery, which may carry support for 68W fast charging. For selfies,
it will arrive with a 16-megapixel camera on the front. Its back panel will
feature a 50-megapixel primary camera, which will be accompanied by
13-megapixel and 2-megapixel auxiliary cameras. The Halo device will have 256
GB of UFS 3.1 native storage and will run Android 12. Lenovo is likely to
unveil it in Q3 this year.
