Lenovo Legion Y90 Display test
Source: DxOMark English
The Lenovo Legion Y90, marketed mainly as a gaming phone, provided a below-average display performance overall and in its Premium segment. While the screen’s proper brightness made indoor use of the device comfortable, using the device outdoors showed the display’s limitations. Outdoor readability was very poor, and the display was unreadable in the sunlight. The Lenovo Legion Y90 is not the ideal device to watch HDR10 videos because of the display’s low brightness and poor color rendering. However, one bright spot for the Legion Y90 display was its touch performance, which helped to provide a very good video-gaming experience. Video gamers are likely to appreciate the display’s touch latency, which was clocked at a fast 41 milliseconds during testing, its good touch smoothness and its accuracy.

Lenovo Legion Y70 Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The fact can’t be hidden as the Lenovo Legion Y70 5G is an impressive option in the flagship smartphone range. It has almost everything that even users want for the smartphone from robust performance to long-lasting battery life, the phone got everything. Yet, we will also don’t deny that the phone has some flaws in low light photography and the phone is currently exclusive to China. And from the history of Lenovo, it’s not clear whether the smartphone makers will take any steps to launch this phone on the global stage. But if you are in search of an alternative variant, we recommend you to check out the Xiaomi 12s Pro for better camera quality. On the other hand, if you want all-rounder specs the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G will be worth your money.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.


Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Qualcomm Adreno 730: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 30% faster than the Adreno 660 in the Snapdragon 888 SoC. For Android it should be one of the fastest graphics cards in late 2021.
