Lenovo Legion Y90 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Lenovo Legion Y90 - change of accents

The gaming smartphones of the Chinese company Lenovo have always had a bright design and original solutions in the internal structure (for example, a retractable front photo module on the side) of gadgets, however, they were inferior to competitors' products in their popularity. The reason for this problem was both a modest advertising campaign outside of China, and sometimes too catchy appearance, a somewhat overpriced price tag. The hero of today's review has practically got rid of the listed shortcomings. Is it worthy of impressive sales now?

The appearance of the phone is difficult to unequivocally attribute to its positive qualities. The top bezel with the 16-megapixel selfie camera is wide, the thickness of the Android smartphone is also not encouraging. On the other hand, you can praise both the stylish colors of the metal rear panels and the frameless display on the sides, an interesting block of a pair of cameras with air outlets for two coolers. The side faces of the device are equipped with touch-sensitive trigger keys . Of course, such features are not combined with moisture protection, it is absent. The 6.92-inch AMOLED screen is amazing with rich, contrasting colors at a refresh rate of 144Hz . If Android users have long been accustomed to FullHD + resolution, then the touch panel sampling at 720Hz will surprise many. Such a responsive AMOLED display is yet to be found.

Of course, the flagship was not without the appropriate technical specifications. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 CPU, 12/16/18GB of RAM and the Adreno 730 graphics adapter are an extremely productive bunch, demonstrating a huge headroom for future projects. Now even Genshin Impact will play without the slightest lag at the maximum graphics presets. Special thanks for such an achievement must be given to an efficient cooling system. You can store applications, music, movies and more on 256/640GB UFS 3.1 ROM .

64- and 13-megapixel cameras are deprived of optical stabilization; a phablet cannot be called a camera phone. Daytime shots abound in detail, realistic and color reproduction, but evening shots are difficult to shower with compliments. There is a lot of noise, the smallest objects in the resulting photos are simply not visible. 8K and 4K video are frustrating with ghosting when shooting in low light conditions. But the battery capacity has been brought up to 5600mAh . Surprisingly, the battery is charged up to 100% in just an hour and after that it provides a day and a half of active interaction with the device. Impressive stereo sound , NFC contactless payment, support for 5G networks will be other reasons to look at buying a device that is ready to please every Android gamer.
