The coolest phone I've ever broken - Legion Duel Phone 2

Well, here we are again with another gaming

yone, even if gaming is not the main thing. I didn't really know Lenovo made smartphones until now. I used one of their laptops throughout college, so they've been around a long time. Upon opening the box, we see the phone for the first time. Lenovo sent me their Legion dual phone 2. To prove this with a box that is surprisingly optically stabilized and already innovative, I like that inside the box there are dual USB C cables and a charging brick that has dual USB-C ports.

I'm starting to see why they call us Dual 2. When both ports are plugged in and used at the same time, we can apparently power the phone with 90 watts of power. I'll get to that in a second. The phone rests on another box. I'll take them both out and Here we have a small headphone jack adapter as well as a thin transparent plastic case and finally the phone itself. This is one of the most unique phones we've seen in a long time. It has curves in the strangest places. I'm looking forward to it. For this one, let's start from the beginning.

This phone feels like a solid piece of brick. It is heavy, thick and long, with a very strange abnormal growth in the center. Apparently this central hump is for the brains of the entire operation, while the dual batteries are On the wings, on the hump, we have the centrally mounted cameras, as well as the RGB LEDs and, most importantly, the fans. duals. We've seen one fan before on a cell phone and the Red Magic gaming phones, but not two if we separate it. dual 2 should be quite interesting, but first things first is the scratch test. I have a set of Mohs mineral picks that help differentiate between different minerals and materials and

ever

y now and then we have a phone that slips into the system that is hidden under a plastic screen protector.

It won't take too long to realize that this dual two's incredibly unique anatomy may have some problems. Normally, the camera is on top, so the phone swings left and right, but this time, with the camel hump in the middle, the phone swings up. all the way down like a giant seesaw isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I can see it getting a little annoying trying to type a message with one hand while the phone is on a flat surface, it will bounce around like a ball head ending the scratch test. We see that the screen is made of tempered glass from its scratches at level six with deeper grooves at level seven.

This is the part where we normally find the front camera, but as you can clearly see, this phone does not have at least one. Not where we'd normally expect it, it has a side-mounted motorized pop-up camera hidden beneath the power button. I didn't see that one coming. He's a loud little guy, apparently he's here on the side so players can live stream while they play. The phone is held horizontally which makes a lot of sense and since the camera is motorized it doesn't take up any pixels within the screen, pressing the power button which is now extended in the air still turns the screen off and it retracts.

The camera is a little strange if you want to take normal vertical selfies, of course, but it's definitely not a deal-breaker. The lens on the front of the camera is made of glass and is scratch resistant and, impressively, has 44 megapixels. The camera also has drop protection, which we've seen on other pop-up camera smartphones where it tries to retract before hitting the ground if it ever falls. The speaker grille of the large earpiece is made of plastic and will not fall off on its own. It is also one of a double pair. speakers on a phone where everything is dual, the bottom stereo speaker grill is also made of plastic, the right side of the phone is made of metal and there is a lot going on, there are no mechanical pop-up buttons like we saw in the Black game Shark 3. phone, but there are a total of four ultrasonic programmable game buttons on this side alone, two on the right side, then we have the textured metal power button located on top of the motorized camera and then of course , the exhaust vent for the internal dual fans we have.

We'll get there in a second and then the other pair of programmable buttons on the top, the top of the phone is pretty empty, then here on the left side of the phone we have the metal volume rocker and one of the two USBs. c ports, the second USB-C port of course is at the bottom where it is normally next to the dual SIM card tray which has a slot on either side for SIM cards. We'll talk more about USB-C ports in a second. The back of the phone is of course interesting, like a turtle, we have never seen anything like it, there are two additional programmable capacitive buttons under the slope of the rear glass that leads to the central camera mountain, all these rear surfaces, for supposed.

They are made of glass and as we know a gaming phone cannot be a gaming phone without a nice LED action, here two cameras are included in the Everest, one is a 64 megapixel main sensor and the other is a large lens 16 megapixel wide angle. protected under that same piece of glass and of course the fans that are here too now supposedly this fan contraption is specially oriented over the vapor chamber which helps with heat dissipation and supposedly both fans are IP58 which which means it's protected from water, but we'll have to see how that's possible from the inside during the teardown video, the fans are pretty quiet and I can run them full blast with rampage mode.

They are small, although with 29 blades each, the intake fan rotates at 12,500 rpm and the exhaust fan rotates at 15,000 rpm. Lenovo says that the fans are capable of reducing the internal temperature of the Qualcomm 888 processor by more than 30 percent compared to other smartphones that have the same chip, which is quite impressive and definitely a worthwhile addition. on the phone, if I have little pieces of paper scattered on my desk, we can see the exhaust fan moving them around a bit, but it's still a pretty small blower. I ripped a thread out of my shirt so we can see it a little clearer. a breeze that blows with the gentle breeze, a gentle breeze that, of course, helps you kill your enemies more efficiently.

Speaking of defeating enemies efficiently, it requires a lot of power and the Legion dual 2 phone has plenty of that, as you may have guessed there are dual batteries. one on each side of the phone, which is a little worrying since the dual battery situation didn't work out very well for the rog phone 5, but fingers crossed that Lenovo has done better. Both ports can be used for charging. the batteries when I connect one of the cables it activates turbo charging and when both connect it activates dual turbo charging which pumps 90 watts of power to the phone to charge the huge 5,500 milliamp hour battery at 100 inches in just 30 minutes which also It has to be some kind of record, finally the burn test, this time we'll make things a little more interesting with a little help from the fans, it's easy to tell this is the intake by the way it's ingested. the flame that internally digests the fire is generally frowned upon but you have to admit it looks pretty cool, the exhaust duct is also loud enough to blow out my lighter which is pretty impressive and at least now we know the fans are Good for working in extremely hot environments.

The display on the dual 2 is a 6.9-inch 1080p display with a 144Hz refresh rate and, most impressively, a 720Hz touch sampling rate, which I'm pretty sure is another record. The touch sampling rate is almost more important than the refresh rate while gaming as that's how fast the screen can sense what your fingers are doing and then of course the Amoled screen lasts about 33 seconds under the heat from my lighter and does not fully recover. Now again, fingerprint scanners are not my favorite, but I have a theory about scanners. The ones that don't work very well are typically flat optical scanners with a wide sensor and no lens that can't read my fingerprint, and since this phone has a hard time even setting up my fingerprint, it will be interesting to see if my hypothesis is correct.

When we open it from inside, I guess the optical scanner has no lens. When I first picked up this phone I noticed that it is extremely heavy to the point that I am not even remotely worried about it breaking but you know there are some strange structural shapes and designs and it turns out that there is a weaker gaming phone than the phone rog 5. the

legion

dual 2 phone with its two speakers, two fans and two batteries is now definitely in two pieces. the screen is shattered and destroyed under that gorilla 5 glass which is surprisingly still intact at first glance up close at the break point it looks like the chipped porous metal was to blame for the break but it turns out it's a clean snap right at along the antenna line.

Matching on both sides of the glass hump, the antenna lines are usually plastic to allow the phone to receive its signal, as unfortunately antennas do not work well through metal, although these same antenna lines are also used. reflect symmetrically at the other end of the camera. mountain which means the Legion 2 phone is now the Legion 3 phone as it is in 3 pieces, if those antenna lines were placed differently or reinforced internally this could have been different, the front glass is still intact , although it is a good job, a bad year for gaming phones. It really shows how well Gorilla Glass holds the Legion Dual 2 phone.

It doesn't pass my durability test. Now remember that durability is just one aspect when choosing your next phone. A simple case will solve most structural problems and just because I broke it doesn't mean it's a bad phone, it just gives us an idea of ​​what to look for and what situations to avoid when owning it. It's a super cool phone, literally and figuratively, internally and externally, just don't sit back, taking it down will still be pretty interesting. We'll be taking a look at those fans from the inside, as well as the supposedly huge vapor chamber, so hit that subscribe button if you haven't already come hang out with me on Instagram and Twitter and thanks so much for watching.

See you there.
