How was the heat on the phone when playing games like genshin impact vs the rog phone 5? Can you talk a bit more about the fps comparisons between these two phones?
Nice upgrade. I love the cleaned up look especially the white one, being a designer, it is not loud looking while being stylish at work. I have the Legion 1. Wish I could compare the two directly. I have yet to see a good review comparing them online. That open fan and gaps concern me especially during trips to beaches and rough conditions which are unavoidable with this being a phone. I will have to check the teardown of this model. What kind of phone protector do they have boxed with it this time? The one with Legion 1 looks great but a portion of the clear plastic sits on top of the glowing logo at the back. The biggest drawback of owning the Lenovo phones is their software evolution and tech support since they are a new player. Hope they match the level of ROG soon in that regard, most notably the audio tech but I recommend getting a nice external USB-C DAC for the best listening experience with any phone! HOPE they keep their prices low. For gamers and streamers on a budget I would have to say that at the moment this is the phone to get. Would have wanted the Blackshark Pro for its size but coming off from a huge phone Mate 10X, the usual problem is fitting it with accessories (the new model's design surely went downhill and they added a pinhole to boot. Lack of Playstore support is a huge factor so avoid China phones for now. I prefer magnets to stick my phones anywhere but with the Legion phones you can't do that due to the central location of the RGB logo. Indeed, there are many things to consider before getting a gaming phone especially if you are coming off from "normal" phones.
@@babyblu5590 Hey, I'm not a gamer, but I love the look of the phone (lenovo legion duel 1). What is your opinion on using the phone as normal phone (I won't use it ever for gaming) I own huawei p30 atm. I'll be very grateful if you can give me advice. Thanks 😊
@@MsEti88 It's actually wonderful as a normal phone. The screen is extremely responsive and viewing is smooth due to the high refresh rate. But the best thing about this phone is you don't have to charge it overnight. When u wake up or if you are busy just plug it in and in a few minutes maybe after a shower or breakfast it's fully charged already lol... but if you're not a gamer I wouldn't really recommend it if comfort is your priority unless you have big hands or long fingers. As a phone profile it might be surprising for you to know that I prefer small phones. If I was in the Apple ecosystem I would get the iPhone mini since I can safely hold it with one hand and do a lot of activities with it without fear of dropping it. They still have the best accessories and app store. But as it stands in the Android world there are a ton of phones out there which feel better in your hand if comfort is your main priority like me. Also better cameras. I got sucked into the whole Samsung Fold phenomenon and have since gotten the Fold 3 due to necessity of using a pen to sketch, draw and do notes for work. Good luck in your search for a new phone! :) PS I am thoroughly impressed with Huawei phones and if they didn't run into problems with the US and Google I would definitely use some of their things. Like their new Tablet. Wonderful camera on a tablet! Wow... Their Harmony OS is working well for me. Very intuitive. PS2 I forgot to mention that the main issue for me is lack of good cases for this phone. Take note that it is very slippery without the case that comes with it. On the other hand you might not like the edgy feel to with case on.
So they think gamers never want to relax & watch a movie/TV show since no Netflix/Disney+ support? Weird... Wonder how the cameras get on.... Love your pov like usual
Did you encounter the broken notifications bug on their Android 11 fork with this ? On the official Lenovo forums it's been a complaint since last year. Essentially, some apps will simply never display notifications, such as Gmail. It also breaks notifications on smartwatches. Lenovo are either unwilling or unable to fix it. I wouldn't touch their products ever again after this.
Hi, I'm really interestet in the rear camera quality. Does the Omnivision OV64A sensor compare to some of the top Cameraphones? On paper it should be a great sensor, but does it shine on video and photoquality on this phone or does Lenovo not care about tuning the camera right? I hope you can share a thought about the photo/video performance. Thanks! :-D
@Tech Spurt I am needing to replace my One Plus 5t. The battery life is dying a death. I have a budget of around £400 - £450 to spend on a replacement. Could you recommend a couple of phones? I had toyed with getting the Samsung A72. Would someone be able to live happily with that, as their only phone?
I live in Canada on Roger network. I bought this phone from China, I can't get the phone to connect to rogers apn. Therefore I am getting phone calls but not data connection. Can anyone help me resolve this or experienced the same problem?
How can I buy the phone on which Website can I buy it like can you make a tutorial on how to buy the phone pleas like I tried allot of websites and I didn’t find it or anything can you show us how?
Does anyone know how you charge the phone at 90w? Do you have to buy a booster? Do you have to buy the 90w charger separately as it only comes with a 67w? I've spoken to Lenovo and they haven't got a clue. 👍
@@Krogdalo ah yes yes, the headphone jack!! Sadly, I live in Australia and we only have the rog phone 3’s here 🥺😭 otherwise I would have deffs gotten the rog 5 ultimate
I'm curious as to who this phone is aimed towards. If you already have a console, then this would be just for when you are on your 15 minute work breaks or on the train to work ? Seems a lot to spend for that convenience. Enlighten me people !
Mainly for people who actively game on their phone as a main platform. These phones are really popular in India, China etc where people game on phones A LOT. Edit: Also some people prefer these phones over your typical smartphone because of insane battery life for normal use, headphone jacks etc
Careful not bend this phone 😂 if you accidentally sit on it, it will break. Have you seen a phone break like a biscuit , check out JerryRigEverything, jerry break this Lenovo Legion Duel 2 into half like breaking a biscuit with his hands.
@@stuntjegan Ya he even said just get a case and it'd be fine, I know the crap phone I have now, if I tried to bend it it'd snap, but it hasn't been a problem.
I bought the first version discounted to £550 for watching old movies and TH-cam. It has 5G and NFC for Google Pay so it's an affordable option to replace both a phone and small tablet. The screen is lovely for watching movies. The sound quality is good on speakers and excellent on Bluetooth headset. Compared to buying a 5G phone and tablet, it is fair value. Practical downsides are hefty weight and the buttons where you want to grip the phone. Overall worth considering even though like me you never use it for gaming. 😎
I saw Zak of JerryRig bend and snap this phone. It rather puzzled me as the phone is damn expensive and anyone who keeps it in their back pocket or on a place where it can be sat on and crushed either can afford a new one with no financial worries, or is a moron - or is Zak bending of course! For some (as I own) tough rugged phones the bend test makes sense in case of a works accident or trekking problem. As for all other phones this test and most of Zak's tests have outlived their usefulness and validity with newer far more technically advanced phones. Specific expensive gaming phones are not camera phones, though they can do it, are not specific messaging or sms phones, though they can do it. These are phones designed for gamers away from their machine set up, wanting to find time while travelling or whatever. They will be carefully carried in their protective cases until required for play. My guess is travelling to a friend's house may be the only time a phone like this leaves the owners accommodation! In its time, a few years ago, Zak was the man, his phone tests meant something, manufactures listened and watched his actions. Now he's just a tester for their phones (Lenovo sent him this phone to test!) and as a tester for phone manufactures he is part of the system designed to sell phones. His tests are outdated (scratch test is useless as it is always pocket sand or bagq/purse sand that do the damage, not a knife or mohs scratch testers! I guess the burn test has a use for lighters - not phones! and so on. ). Why not test its waterproof level for phones that claim they are waterproof. Test under 1 or 2 metre pressure. For phones that claim certain colour ability test that ability, for phones that have a touch sensitive rate test that, for refresh rate test that etc. Phones are claiming too much and no one is testing these claims properly GSMARENA does some important tests - they have a formulated battery test speaker test, camera test. Test what you buy a phone for, not if it can stand a lighter flame or a fat bottomed millionaire sitting on $1000+ phones. As I have said Zak was good years ago but now he is an irrelevant part of the system.

Incredible video!
Does anybody wonder how he gets his hands on anything as soon as it drops? Love it!!
Either he's sponsored, or he stays up to date enough to purchase phones immediately
He has long arms.
When you are a reviewer, you often are given the phone for a bit to do your review and then you send it back... This is how the industry works.
@@rapids444 Oh you give it back thats sad

5:48 .Rog Phone 5 does not have a QHD display.
QHD @144/165 would drain so much juice.
I still want this one the most over rog/blackshark/redmagic, I just like it. Hopefully it releases in the USA soon?
probably the best budget phone
5:45 the ROG is FHD+ the same as this Legion Phone Duel 2 as far as I can find online right now. Neither phone is quad HD
Had you watched "JerryRigEverything" video about this phone? He broke this phone faster than Asus Rog 5 phone!
