Lenovo’s New Gaming Phone has a Neat Trick

As per a listing on the Chinese website JD.com, Lenovo is set to release its newest smartphone dubbed, Legion. Centered on its side is a 20 megapixel camera that pops out on command in a very secret agent esque manner. It doesn’t necessarily seem like a feature many people have been clamoring for, but perhaps it could make for some interesting live streams while gaming on the go.

It takes approximately 0.496 seconds for the camera to pop, and about 0.5 seconds to retract. Pretty speedy. Lenovo also wants to temper concerns over general use wear and tear by confirming that it will have, at the very least, a lifespan of over 400,000 activations. You know, just in case your little niece or nephew get a hold of it and go crazy with the function.

Now, the cute little camera is a neat trick, but what do the specs look like? Well, the Legion is actually a bit of a beast on its own. Sporting a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 144 Hz refresh rate, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ processor with 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage and 90 watt fast charging, the Legion is out to flex a little in Mobile Gaming market. You also get a 64-megapixel main and 16-megapixel wide-angle cameras, along with dual front speakers, and RGB lighting.

The Legion is set to release July 22nd to the tune of about $670.00 after conversions. Release in North America and Europe have yet to be confirmed, but is quite likely.
