Performance was put at the fore of the Legion Phone experience and that explains many of the decisions behind this phone.

The same applies to the pop-out front camera - if you're gripping the phone and want to take a selfie, it opens into your fingers or hand. Open the camera to take a shot and invariably you'll have a hand in the way. Those rear cameras that are out of the way when playing are covered by your hands the rest of the time. The other 7 or 8 hours of the day when you're not head-down in the latest shooter, you have to live with compromises that have been made to support gaming. Normal phones compromise on gaming, but this device does not.īut there's a cost to this gaming-specific design and that's in the day-to-day experience.

The Legion Phone feels clean to hold and play, there's grip, the sound quality and volume is excellent. We spend several hours of every day gaming, so many of these things appeal directly to us. Many of these decisions serve that market in a way that other phones cannot: there's no camera bump to get in the way the wide speakers at either end of the display are hard to obscure with a hand and there's even a charging port on the side so you can charge and play at the same time.Īnd much about this we love.
