According to a report on MyFixGuide.com, Lenovo's product director has leaked details of the rumored Legion Y90 gaming phone. In two posts to Chinese micro-blogging site Weibo, the company official (who goes by the name of Lin Lin on the platform) has seemingly shared two screenshots from the device, which illustrate a multitude of device specs.

So, what information can we glean from the screenshots? Check this out for size...

  • Snapdragon 8.1 processor

What Competition Does the Legion Y90 Face?

Dedicated gaming smartphones are still pretty thin on the ground. Which is kinda surprising, considering the fact that mobile gaming is very much exploding as we write this report. However, the Legion Y90 does have some competition.

ASUS, of course, has its ROG Phone 5, which it designs specifically with mobile gaming in mind. Likewise, the Nubia Red Magic 5G is also a contender for the crown. The Black Shark 4 from Xiaomi also takes some beating.

Whether Lenovo's device can hop to that top spot remains to be seen, but the competition is certainly there, if not a little scant.

Are You Looking Forward to the Legion Y90?

If so, you may have to wait for a while yet. We still have no release date details, but we can't see it being long before those details come to light. Could it be that the Legion Y90 blows the Black Shark 4 out of the water? We'll have to wait and see... with bated breath.
