Let's unbox the Lenovo Legion Y70 and see what's inside!

Hands-on with the Lenovo Legion Y70 featuring an ultra-sleek design

When it comes to gaming phones, what's the first thing that comes to mind? The design must be rugged, cool, and with many details emphasizing its gaming nature. However, the Lenovo Legion Y70 is different; it doesn't stand out from regular smartphones. The frame is made of steel and designed with a square shape following the current trend. The special point is the slimness of this device, measuring only 8 mm compared to other gaming phone models on the market.

The back of the Lenovo Legion Y70 is flat and finished with frosted glass to reduce sweat and fingerprint marks. However, in my experience, frosted glass products tend to be slippery, so it's easy to slip if you're not careful. I advise everyone to use a back cover regularly, as it's also a way to better protect the device from external forces.

A standout feature on the back of the Lenovo Legion Y70 is the shiny camera cluster, creating a focal point on the device's body. Additionally, the Lenovo Legion Y70 comes in three fairly simple colors: Black, Silver, and Red for users to choose from according to their preferences. In my opinion, the silver color is the most beautiful as it gives a shiny and elegant feeling when held in hand.

Turning to the front of the Lenovo Legion Y70, it uses a flat hole-punch display and extremely thin edges, making it very attractive and captivating to look at. It can be said that this is the most attractive gaming phone display I've ever seen, making the device stand out in the market.

Moreover, the Lenovo Legion Y70's display measures 6.67 inches, operates on an OLED panel, and has a Full HD+ resolution. It can be said that this is quite a common display quality nowadays, with vibrant colors and high detail. Not to mention, the Lenovo Legion Y70's screen also boasts a 144Hz refresh rate, which is quite high and common in the gaming phone world, making touch swiping extremely smooth and supporting well for high-speed gaming tasks.

As for the location of the connection ports and physical buttons of the Lenovo Legion Y70, they are placed in very familiar positions to users like other products on the market today, so you can get used to them quickly. Check out the details below!

Lenovo Legion Y70 packs a punch with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 configuration

Before diving into details, let me summarize the specs of the Lenovo Legion Y70 for everyone to easily follow along!

• Display: 6.67-inch size, OLED panel, Full HD+ resolution, 144Hz refresh rate.
• CPU: Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.
• RAM: 8 GB, 12 GB, 16 GB.

• Rear Camera: 50 MP + 13 MP + 2 MP.
• Front Camera: 16 MP.
• Battery: 5,100 mAh, 68 W fast charging.

As everyone can see above, the Lenovo Legion Y70 is powered by the incredibly powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor from Qualcomm. As of now, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 has been released and become Qualcomm's most powerful processor. However, the power of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is still formidable with its advanced 4 nm process and clock speed of up to 3.0 GHz. Moreover, in most of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 phones I've reviewed, there's a very good balance between temperature and performance.

Furthermore, being a gaming phone, the Lenovo Legion Y70's cooling capability will be better, optimizing performance for users' gaming experiences. Therefore, users can confidently use 'it' to play games daily without worrying about overheating, and regular tasks will also be handled very smoothly.

Furthermore, the Lenovo Legion Y70 offers three different configuration options: 8 GB RAM + 128 GB internal storage, 12 GB RAM + 256 GB internal storage, 16 GB RAM + 512 GB internal storage. With these three configuration levels, the device can well meet everyone's multitasking and storage needs. However, it's still advisable for users to consider their own needs to choose the version that best suits their needs and budget.

In addition, the Lenovo Legion Y70 is powered by a 5,100 mAh battery, a fairly large capacity nowadays. With such battery capacity, the device can meet the usage needs of nearly a day with basic tasks, but if gaming, the time will be significantly shortened. Even if the battery runs out, the device can quickly recover with the 68 W fast charging!

Lenovo Legion Y70 boasts a great camera with 50 MP resolution

For a gaming-focused phone like the Lenovo Legion Y70, the camera is usually not meticulously invested in, as everything is dedicated to gaming. However, the Lenovo Legion Y70 is still equipped with a fairly good camera system that can meet everyone's basic photography needs. Specifically:

• Ultra-wide-angle camera: 13 MP resolution, 120-degree field of view, AF.
• Depth-sensing camera: 2 MP resolution, f/2.4 aperture.

Additionally, the selfie camera quality is also quite good to meet basic selfie needs for everyone!
