Lenovo has confirmed that its upcoming Legion Y70 gaming smartphone will launch in China on May 19. 

According to available information, the Legion Y70 is expected to feature a 6.8-inch flat display with 2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The device may be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, positioning it among high-performance gaming phones expected this year.

The system is said to incorporate a 5,500mm² vapor chamber (VC) plate to help regulate temperatures during extended gaming sessions and intensive tasks.

Lenovo has also highlighted long-term battery durability, suggesting the battery may retain over 80% of its original health after several years of use.

Design-wise, the phone is expected to continue the Legion series’ aesthetic, featuring a textured glass back and an aluminum frame, available in black and silver.
