On the front, the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 sports a 6.92-inch AMOLED (Samsung E4) display with a variable screen refresh rate up to 144Hz and up to 720Hz touch sampling rate. Powering the phone from the inside is Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 888 chipset, paired with up to 18GB LPDDR5 RAM and up to 512GB UFS 3.1 storage.

 

For photography, the Legion Phone Duel 2 has a dual-camera setup comprised of a 64MP OmniVision OV64A primary shooter and a 16MP wide-angle camera. There's a 44MP pop-up selfie shooter placed on the right side.

The Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 features four ultrasonic shoulder keys (R1, R2, L2, L1) on the right frame and two capacitive keys (L3 and R3) on the back, allowing gamers to perform multiple in-game actions and maneuvers simultaneously. Once again, Lenovo has partnered with the firm Sentons on these ultrasonic keys. For heat dissipation, Lenovo is using two active cooling fans along with four graphite thermal pads and a vapor chamber, which Lenovo claims is the largest on a smartphone. Similar to what we have seen on Red Magic 6 and Realme GT, the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 can also be hooked to an external display over HDMI and supports keyboard and gamepad input.

Other highlights include 5G, WiFi 6 support, an in-display fingerprint reader, dual front-firing speakers, four noise-canceling microphones, and Android 11.
