Lenovo introduces the Lenovo Y70, a huge 17-inch touchscreen gaming laptop

317

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a 17-inch laptop being introduced to the market, they were so heavy that you won’t want to carry around with you. Lenovo today has introduced its Y70 laptop that has a monstrous 17.3” touch display in Full HD resolution, even the specs are pretty respectable as well – a Core i7 quad-core processor, NVIDIA GTX 860M graphics up to 4GB memory, up to 16GB of DDR3 RAM and 512GB SSD, speakers are powered by JBL, its battery is rather disappointing at 4-Cells 54 Watt which the company claims a battery life of up to 5 hours (we doubt so), but we assume most won’t carry such a huge device along and game with it anyway.

The Lenovo Y70 Touch will start retailing in October with a starting price of $1,299, which will be priced around RM4,1000 when it reaches our shores.

Lenovo is launching the Z5s on 6 December

317

Another smartphone might come earlier than the Huawei and Samsung’s smartphones with the Infinity-O display, and this smartphone is the Lenovo Z5s.

Unlike the other smartphone brands, Lenovo seems to be putting the hole in the top centre of the Z5s. The poster announced that the smartphone will be launched on 6 December which is tomorrow, and that makes it the earliest smartphone with an Infinity-O display.

While the specs of the phone has not been confirmed, many are expecting a 6.3-inch Full HD+ LCD display that will not have an in-display fingerprint sensor as it will use a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. Besides that, the smartphone is rumoured to either be powered by the Snapdragon 675 or the Snapdragon 710 processor, and it will run on Android 8.1 Oreo.

That aside, the Z5s will have an in-screen front camera and have triple rear cameras. It is also predicted to come with a 3210mAh battery but as all these informations are just leaks and speculations, it’s best to wait for the launch tomorrow to learn the accurate specs of the smartphone.

Lenovo is looking to buy up Fujitsu's PC division

409

Fujitsu has been struggling to keep their PC division afloat for quite some time now. However, there may be yet another taker who is interested in its money-hemorrhaging division as The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Lenovo is looking to buy it up.

Originally, Fujitsu was looking to merge its PC division with both
Toshiba and Sony
, However, talks for that plan collapsed as neither companies wanted to hold a controlling stake. Seeing as the merger talks has fallen through, Fujitsu entered discussions with Lenovo.

Assuming that the sale happens, Lenovo would hold 21.1 percent of the global PC market share. Lenovo’s successful buyout of Fujitsu’s PC business would also see it owning 40 percent of the Japanese PC market. As for the specifics of the discussion, the deal would see Lenovo owning a majority of Fujitsu’s PC division, while Fujitsu retaining a minority stake. In terms of workers, Lenovo has promised Fujitsu that it will maintain existing factories and jobs.

Lenovo K3 Note gets early Marshmallow update

339

Early this month, we’ve seen the arrival of the
Lenovo Vibe X3 and the K4 Note
 to Malaysian shores alongside Lenovo’s own VR headset, the ANTVR. However, both the Vibe X3 and the K4 Note both still run on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop out of the box, and it seems that the predecessor of the K4 Note has a Marshmallow update rolling out as we speak.

Lenovo India has taken the announcement of the Marshmallow rollout to its Twitter account:

“The wait is now over! K3 Note users will soon get the @Android Marshmallow update & TheaterMax support :)”

Apart from the receiving the Marshmallow update ahead of the K4 Note, the K3 Note will also receive TheaterMax support like its successor, meaning that the handset will support VR natively, well matched with the RM99 ANTVR headset by Lenovo.

It sure seems that the K3 Note will be getting its bite of Marshmallow ahead of most 2016 Lenovo handsets. Are you using Lenovo smartphone with Android Marshmallow? Let us know at the comments section below!

Lenovo K6 Enjoy launched with 6.22-inch waterdrop notch display and Helio P22 SoC

288

Lenovo has quietly expanded its K-series smartphone lineup with the
launch
 of the K6 Enjoy. In terms of design, the new K6 Enjoy shares a lot in common with the high-end Z5s Android smartphone
launched
 in December last year.

The Lenovo K6 Enjoy has a 6.22-inch IPS LCD display featuring 720 x 1520 HD+ resolution and a waterdrop notch. It runs on a 12nm MediaTek Helio P22 octa-core processor clocked at 2.0 GHz with an IMG PowerVR GE8320 GPU.

Featuring 4GB of RAM, the budget Android smartphone will be available in 64GB and 128GB storage flavors. Users will be expand the storage further by up to 256GB, thanks to the presence of a microSD card slot.

Lenovo K8 Note launched with dual cameras and large battery

352

Kudos to Lenovo’s efforts in making its own smartphones apart from its Motorola subsidiary, but it is rather difficult not to criticize Lenovo’s latest handset in terms of design. The Lenovo K8 Note has finally been launched in India, and it looks very much alike to the Honor 6X.

At first glance, the Lenovo K8 Note’s design is definitely not unique by any means. Instead, it looks inspired by the likes of the Huawei Mate 9 and the Honor 6X, both of which have rear fingerprint sensors, dual camera setups and metal unibody builds. The K8 Note sports a standard 5.5-inch IPS LCD display at Full HD resolution. Underneath the hood is a MediaTek X23 chipset, with 3GB or 4GB of RAM and 32GB or 64GB of expandable storage respectively.

The dual rear camera setup consists of a 13MP sensor and a 5MP sensor. These cameras allow the K8 Note to capture images with contrasting depth of field effects, capable of viewing up to f/1.2 aperture in real time. The front camera is no slouch too, an impressive sounding 13MP shooter. The huge 4,000mAh battery of the Lenovo K8 Note should breeze through the day without any issues.

The Lenovo K8 Note isn’t actually a disappointing device apart from its copycat design, proving the Lenovo is still very much capable of producing impressive smartphones of its own. The K8 Note will probably remain as an India-exclusive device for a while.

Lenovo launches a slew of laptops for 2016

406

Lenovo has had a very busy day as the company has launched a ton of new products for all of its laptop/tablet line. From the Thinkpad to the YOGA to the Ideapad, Lenovo has revealed their line up for 2016.

The first key product that Lenovo revealed during the presentation is the YOGA 900s. Stated to be the world’s thinnest Intel Core i convertible laptop at just 12.8 mm thin, the YOGA 900s is capable of supporting a 6th-gen Intel Core i7 processor. It will come with up to 8GB of LPDDR3 RAM, a 256GB PCIe SSD, integrated Intel HD Graphics and a battery that is capable of lasting 10.5 hours under QHD video playback. As the YOGA 900s is a flagship entry, the laptop itself will sport the signature watch band hinges, allowing the laptop to be folded into tablet mode. The pricing of the YOGA 900s will begin from RM 5,999 and is available now.

Next on the list of laptops is the ThinkPad X1 Tablet. With a potential configuration that includes an Intel Core m7 vPro processor, 16GB of LPDDR3 RAM, and a 512GB SSD, the ThinkPad X1 Tablet is more or less Lenovo’s answer to Microsoft’s Surface. Just like the Surface, the ThinkPad X1 Tablet comes with detachable keyboard (bundled together) as well as a stylus (sold seperately), allowing you to use it as a traditional laptop or a tablet. Besides the keyboard and stylus, the ThinkPad X1 Tablet will also come with its own set of modules that would allow you to further customise it, giving this device a huge amount of flexibility.

Described as one of the most refined and elegant notebooks available today, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon is an ultrabook that supports up to an Intel Core i7 vPro processor, 16GB of DDR3 RAM, 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD, and has a battery life of up to 11 hours. Other than that, much like the YOGA series, the X1 Carbon can also be flipped into tablet mode. It will also come with its own series of accessories to complement the device itself.

Of course, that isn’t all of the devices that Lenovo has shown off as the company did display a ton of new products at the event, ranging from consumer-centric laptops, to enterprise-centric servers.

Lenovo launches Vibe Shot, focusing on camera technology

411

I have to admit when it comes to buying a smartphone, one of the most important feature is to have a great camera. Lenovo is of the same mind since today they have launched a new mid-range smartphone that focuses on camera functionality more than anything else.

The inside of the Vibe Shot sports a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 chip and 3GB RAM, which is not unusual in a mid-range phone. It also comes with 32Gb internal storage and up to 128GB expandable storage through microSD card support. Lenovo has also made the Vibe Shot with 4G/LTE support, which is a great add-on to a mid-range.

When it comes to looks, the Vibe Shot doesn’t lose out by utilising premium materials with a full aluminium outer frame, and Corning Gorilla glass on the front and back. It also sports a 5.0-inch Full HD screen.

Now, for the main star: the camera. The Lenovo Vibe Shot is like a standalone camera, with a dedicated shutter button to instantly activate the camera function. It has on-board infrared auto-focusing (AF), with tri-colour LED flash for more natural skin tone. On top of that, the camera has superior low-light performance and clarity with its 16:9 BSI sensor, optical image stabilisation (OIS) tech that will reduce blurring in
case
 your hand shakes while shooting.

Not satisfied with Auto mode and want more control over your photo shoots? Then you can utilise the Pro mode which gives you manual controls such as aperture, shutter speed and ISO settings and more. The phone camera also incorporates the world’s first panoramic selfie feature that lets you take three selfies and turn them into one, making shooting wefies a whole lot easier.

The Lenovo Vibe Shot currently comes is two colours: Carmine Red and Graphite Grey, and is priced at RM1,399. Available for purchase from 18 August 2015 onwards at all Lenovo Smartphone Retail Partners.

Here’s a first look at the Lenovo Vibe Shot during the launch today.

Lenovo Legion Duel now in Malaysia: Snapdragon 865 Plus + 144Hz display

501

At long last, the Lenovo Legion Duel gaming smartphone has arrived in the country at a relatively affordable price of RM3,399.

Let’s jump right into the specs first – the phone runs the most powerful chipset to date, the Snapdragon 865 Plus; there are two storage and memory configurations – 12GB + 256GB and 16GB + 512GB. Lenovo is also marketing the phone’s list of ‘Dual’ features which include a ‘dual battery’ pack that consist of two 2,300mAh batteries.

The phone supports up to 64W of fast charging and has two USB Type C ports – one on the bottom, and one on the side, which is similar to the
 ROG Phone 3 Pro
. This too is another one of the phone’s Dual features.

There are also two haptic shoulder triggers (yes, another Dual feature), that supposedly provide a more immersive experience when gaming – this, of course, has been seen again on the ROG Phone 3. What’s interesting is that you can activate a burst-fire mode on for these triggers which could be useful to some people’s playing styles.

There’s a dual (
yeap
, again) front-facing speaker system that delivers Dirac Audio-engineered sound output which Lenovo claims create a 3D-like soundscape.

Moving on, the most interesting feature of the Lenovo Legion Duel is its pop-up selfie lens that’s placed on the side of the phone, or top when you’re gaming. This makes it easier for users to livestream without the need for an extra camera. Speaking of cameras, the main lenses here include a 64MP main shooter and a 16MP ultrawide lens.

The phone’s 6.59-inch display is capable of pushing a whopping 144Hz refresh rate, and also offers a 240Hz touch sampling rate.

The Lenovo Legion Duel is priced at RM3,399 for the 12GB+256GB model while the 16GB+512GB model is priced at RM3,999 and is
available
 to purchase this October 26 via Lenovo’s
website
 or participating
partners

Lenovo launches new Legion gaming laptops with AMD Ryzen 4000 CPUs

437

Lenovo has just released a host of gaming laptops in Malaysia – and they pack the latest AMD Ryzen 4000 and Intel Core 10
th
-Gen processors.

The one to compete with the popular and equally new
AUS TUF Gaming A15
 laptop is the Lenovo
Legion 5 15
 laptop – it can be equipped with up to an AMD Ryzen 7 4800H CPU along with up to a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 GPU.

The display on this laptop is a 15.6-inch FHD IPS panel that pushes a refresh rate of 144Hz with an sRGB 100% support.

It has up to 16GB DDR4 3,200MHz RAM, plus up to 1TB PCIe SSD and up to 1TB HDD for storage. Unlike its ASUS counterpart, the Legion 5 15 boasts a simpler, all-black look. It’s also packed with the Legion
Coldfront
 2.0 system for better heat
dissipation
. On top of that, no gaming laptop is complete without an RGB keyboard, so this one packs a four-zone RGB layout for good measure. The Lenovo Legion 5 15 is priced from RM3,599 and is available from June 2020.

Lenovo Legion 5i

This is for those who want an Intel Core 10
th
-Gen processor instead – you get to pack your

RM6,399
 and is available to pre-order from 1-15 June as well. But to sweeten the deal, those who act fast will get free gifts which could include a Legion Y44w-10 Gaming Monitor!

Lenovo Legion gaming phone to come with 90W fast charging

424

What was once a gimmick has now become a necessity in smartphones – fast-charging has come a long way in the past decade; sitting on the throne with the quickest fast charge tech is OPPO with their 65W
SuperVOOC
 that can power a 4,200mAh in just half an hour or so.

Image credit: Weibo

In comparison, a regular 10W charger needs about one hour or more to fully power a battery of that capacity – OPPO’s 65W is honestly plenty fast, but Lenovo Legion begs to differ. The company took to Weibo to tease their 90W fast charging tech that’ll be available on the Legion
Legion
 gaming phone.

Image credit: Weibo

The device is likely to have a 5,000mAh battery powering it so a 90W charger would do wonders to keep the smartphone juiced after multiple hours of gaming. The phone will also sport a Snapdragon 865 chipset which with 5G support, and
most likely
 a high-refresh rate display, so the phone definitely needs all it can to stay powered.

There’s no word yet on when the phone will be launched, but we know it’s real and we can’t wait for its arrival.

Lenovo Legion could introduce gaming phone that’s more powerful than the ROG Phone 2

373

Taking the same route as rivals ASUS and Razer, Lenovo is reportedly exploring the gaming smartphone market with their Legion brand – signalling competition to the ROG Phone and Razer Phone.

Image credit: Weibo

Lenovo has been quiet in the smartphone department of late so this comes out of left flank – promotional posters had been spotted on Weibo suggesting the phone could be powered by a Snapdragon 865 chipset, equipping it with 5G support at the same time.

Image credit: Weibo

In the poster, we see the signature Legion ‘Y’ logo in there too, hinting of the phone’s existence. Another poster also suggest that the device will benchmark above 600,000 points, which is way above the ROG Phone 2, which is arguably the most powerful to date – which isn’t unlikely with a newer Snapdragon 865 and LPDDR5 memory.

Lenovo Legion Phone Duel: gaming smartphone launched with unique side-mounted selfie camera

377

It’s gaming smartphones galore this year as the
Lenovo Legion Phone Duel
 adds to the growing list, that includes powerhouses like the just-launched ROG Phone 3, Black Shark 3, and Nubia Red Magic 5G.

This is Lenovo’s first entry into the gaming smartphone market and they’re making a strong first impression – the phone sports a 6.59-inch+ AMOLED 144Hz display with a 240Hz touch sampling rate – which is just shy of the ROG Phone 3’s 270Hz
touch
 sampling rate.

When it comes to design, it packs a very striking gaming-
esque
 aesthetic that is available in two
colours
 – black and red, and black and blue. The black and red model looks to have carbon
fibre
 patterns on the top and front portions of the back panel. In the model, both
colour
 options have the signature Legion ‘Y’ logo that lights up.

Under the hood, the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel packs the latest Snapdragon 865+ chipset with up to 16GB and 512GB internal storage. Powering the phone are two 2,500mAh batteries which adds up to a 5,000mAh of juice for your device. There’s also support for 90W of fast charging.

For imaging, you get a capable 64MP dual-array camera system which also boasts a 16MP ultrawide snapper. Over on the front is where things get interesting – as you already know, the phone comes with a side-mounted pop-up selfie camera which uses a 20MP lens; its unique placement allows streamers to use this camera to broadcast themselves without relying on external gear. The camera can shoot regular vertical selfies too albeit you’ll have to look towards the side of the phone instead of the top.

The Lenovo Legion Phone Duel supports Wi-Fi 6 as well as 5G connectivity and comes with a liquid cooling system with copper pipes.

The phone will be available in China first this month and will be priced likes so:

8GB+128GB – CNY 3,499
 (RM2,123)

12GB + 128GB CNY 3,899
 (RM2,366)

12GB + 256GB CNY 4,199
 (RM2,548)

16GB + 512GB CNY 5,999
 (RM3,640)

There’s no word on when or if the Legion Duel will come to Malaysia, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted on the latest updates. If you’re in need of a gaming smartphone now, perhaps consider the
Black Shark 3
,
Black Shark 3 Pro
, or the
ASUS ROG Phone 3
 series.

The Lenovo Legion gaming phone has a side-mounted selfie camera

It looks to be the year of gaming smartphones as we welcome a new challenger to the market, the Lenovo Legion phone; and it’s no
surprise
 to see brands pushing new innovations to set itself apart from crowd.

The Lenovo Legion phone will attempt to do this with the introduction of a side-mounted selfie camera – yes, you read that right. According to reports by 9to5Google and
XDA Developers
, renders of the phone have appeared online showing off said camera; this is done presumably to make streaming face cams a little easier, without the need for extra gear.

Image credit: 9to5 Google

It’s unsure if there will be a regular front camera, because we’d expect users to still want one for selfies. We’d imagine how people would be upset if they’re relegated to just horizontal selfies.

Awkward camera placements aside, the
Lenovo Legion
 phone, unsurprisingly, packs a Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset, a 144Hz FHD+ display, a 5,000mAh battery with support of up to 90W of fast charging.

https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/20/07/lenovo-legion-short-ad/gsmarena_001.mp4

This is the same specs we expect to see on the
ASUS ROG Phone 3
, so we’re wondering if the side-
mounted
 camera on the Lenovo Legion could sway people over, or will ASUS reign supreme again this year as top gaming smartphone.

The best part is that both phones will be launched on 22 July so we’ll know in two days how they stack up against each other.

Lenovo Legion phone specs leak: 144Hz refresh rate display and 90W fast charging

430

We have two exciting gaming smartphones heading our way this year – the
ASUS ROG Phone 3
 and the Lenovo Legion gaming phone; the latter seems to be the less talked about device as of now, but it appears we may now know a little more about Lenovo’s first gaming smartphone.

According to a report by GSM Arena, the phone will come with a 144Hz panel with a 270Hz touch sample rate – this comes after a leaked video appeared online supposedly showcasing what the Lenovo Legion phone is capable of. Although not a lot of games support high refresh rates, it’s still a neat feature and will make every day scrolling much snappier.

Image credit: Weibo

What also contributes to a snappy experience is a well-optimized OS – and according to another leak, the Legion phone will have its own custom Legion OS that’s based off Lenovo’s ZUI 12 system.

It doesn’t look as edgy as ASUS’ and
Black Shark’
s custom gaming OSs, which could be a good thing for those who prefer a more streamlined look.

Under the hood, you can expect to find a Snapdragon 865 chipset, while there will also be a higher end model of the phone that comes with the more powerful 865 Plus; but in the aforementioned leak, at least one of the Lenovo Legion variants will come with only 6GB LPDDR5 RAM – perhaps there could be more high-spec versions that support up to 16GB of memory. For storage, you also get 128GB of space, although we suspect you’ll get up to 512GB with the higher end models.

Powering the phone is a decently-sized 5,000mAh battery, however the ROG Phone 3 is said to come with a whopping 6,000mAH pack. This gives a small glimpse into where the Lenovo Legion phone sits in the gaming smartphone scale.

But where the Lenovo beats the ROG in the charging department with support of up to 90W of fast charging, while the ROG Phone 3 is said to only come with 30W of fast charging.

The ROG Phone 3 will be
launching
 this July 22 so we can expect the Lenovo to arrive a little later than that – it’s safe to say we’re super excited for the unveiling of both phones, and we’ll surely keep you updated on the latest happenings.

Lenovo Legion Series: 4 best gaming products for your work and lifestyle needs

693

The line between what differentiates gaming products from professional ones is becoming increasingly blurred – you’d be hard-pressed to find a gaming laptop, or peripheral that doesn’t have applications in the suit-and-tie environment.

To prove that point, Lenovo’s Legion lineup offers the kind of flexibility a needed by the pen-pusher-by-day-dungeon-dweller-by-night kind of person – they offer powerful hardware, sleek aesthetics, and great portability. If you’re anything like the person described above, you might want to consider these Legion products.

Lenovo Legion Slim 7i

This beast of a laptop doesn’t look like one at all, and that’s a good thing – instead, it rocks a minimal, all-grey façade that’ll blend into any type of office setting.

Its razor thin chassis measures at only 15.9-17.9mm in thickness, while still being sturdy thanks to its aluminium build. As a result, the laptop will fit right into your backpack; and carrying this lightweight 1.86kg won’t break your back, unlike when you carry your teammates on DOTA.

Also unlike your teammates on DOTA, the Legion Slim 7i is actually reliable thanks to the Intel Core i7-10750H CPU it packs; it offers the kind of multi-threaded performance needed for tasks like coding, video editing, and even 3D modeling.

At some point, things get heated at work or while gaming – crunch-time right; know that the Legion Slim 7i stays cool regardless thanks to its Legion Coldfront 2.0 thermal system.

But If things get to this point, you’d probably need a break – so cue Netflix. The laptop packs an impressive speaker system that has support for Dolby Atmos® and Sound Radar by Dolby™ for better immersion. Plus, there’s no need to hastily reach for that charger while you binge-watch your favourite shows, because powering the laptop is a battery that can last you up to 5.8 hours.

The
Legion Slim 7i
 is priced at just RM7,599; and from now until 31 March, each unit of the laptop comes with Windows 10 Home, and Microsoft Office Home & Student 2019 (worth RM529) pre-installed. To sweeten the deal, you’ll even receive a Legion gaming backpack for free!

Legion M600 Wireless Gaming Mouse

To go with your Legion Slim 7i, the Legion M600 Wireless Gaming Mouse is a great pick-up not just for games, but for work as well. With a 16,000 DPI and on-the-fly adjustments, you’ll be moving across your workspace as fast as you can flick-shot on your AWP.

Like the Legion Slim 7i, this mouse has an office-friendly aesthetic, bar a couple of LEDs which can be turned off.

Another thing you don’t have to worry about is battery life, because the Legion M600 offers a whopping 200 hours of use with the LEDs disabled. But if it isn’t quite your day and your mouse runs out of juice, know that all it takes is a short 2.5 hours to fully charge it back up – meaning even a portion of that charging time still gives you plenty of usage.

The
Legion M600
 Wireless Gaming Mouse costs RM309.

Legion Phone Duel

Good things come in…twos? The Legion Phone Duel is all about being doubly better than its competition with a string of impressive features like a dual battery and charging system that fully powers up the phone in just 35 minutes – useful for those who’re always on the go.

There’s also the dual-liquid cooling system underneath that does wonders to keep the Snapdragon 865-powered smartphone icy cool even after a gaming sesh or conference call.

Speaking of, what also sets the
Legion Phone Duel
 apart from other gaming phones is the side-mounted selfie camera that makes livestreaming content easier while you’re gaming; or if you’re in said conference call, the built-in quad-mic noise cancellation technology lets you sound loud and clear.

But if work ever gets too boring, you can always kill time…by slaying noobs; to help you with that is the phone’s dual shoulder controls that act like triggers on a controller – useful for helping you aim and shoot better in FPS games.

https://klgadgetguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Lenovo-Legion-Phone-Duel-Promo-2021-1.mp4

The
Legion Phone Duel
 is now going at a discounted price of just RM3,099 for the 12GB+256GB variant, and RM3,699 for the 16GB+512GB model.

Legion H500 Pro 7.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset

To complete your setup is the Legion H500 Pro headset that offers immersive 7.1ch surround sound and great audio quality made possible thanks to its 50mm drivers.

Its ergonomic design and thick earcups make it comfortable to wear even after hours of virtual meetings, and gaming sessions. There’s a handy selection of controls available at your fingertips, quite

literally, including 7.1ch on/off, volume rockers, and mic mute (in case you’re about to say something Boss shouldn’t be hearing)

The
Legion H500 Pro
 is available at just RM419.

There you have it – Lenovo’s Legion series packs all the bells and whistles both a gamer and working professional needs, all while looking sporting sleek aesthetics that’ll fit in the business environment. You can visit Lenovo’s website

Lenovo Legion Y700 to feature Snapdragon 870 with feature to change aspect ratio

2.1K

Apart from a
gaming

smartphone,
Lenovo

is also looking to release their very own gaming tablet — the Legion Y700. Thanks to Lenovo executive Lin Lin, we now know that the phone will be equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 870 SoC and a feature that allows for aspect ratio adjustment.

Image Credit: 联想拯救者 via
Weibo

Since tablets usually come with a 16:10 aspect ratio (the Legion Y700 included), game content is not effectively displayed on the screen. Take MOBA games like League of Legends: Wild Rift or Honor of Kings as an example, you’re pretty much playing at a disadvantage with the 16:10 aspect ratio, especially if you’re playing against smartphone players with wider aspect ratios.

Image Credit: 林林-一枝小白兔 via
Weibo

To counter this issue, the tablet will offer a feature called
Ultra-Wide Viewing Mode
 that allows you to change the aspect ratio to 21:10 to fit more content. Additionally, you can even choose to position the content in the center or towards the bottom of the display.

According to the

Image Credit: 联想拯救者 via Weibo

In terms of hardware, Lin Lin has disclosed that the tablet will sport Qualcomm’s
Snapdragon 870
 SoC, which is a fairly decent processor for gaming. The definite release date for the Lenovo Legion Y700 has not been revealed yet but we’ll be sure to keep you updated so stay tuned.

Lenovo Legion Y920 Review: High-end gaming laptop with great features and value

651

The reason why people like me have never fancied owning a gaming laptop, despite reviewing a lot of them, is that most of them aren’t too suitable for our line of work. To get the job done, not only we require a laptop that is portable, it needs to have a great keyboard, at least 3-4 hours of battery life on a single charge, and most importantly, it needs to be fast enough to get some processing work done on the go, in my case – video editing. Two weeks back, I received the Lenovo Legion Y920 and was tasked to review if it can ever become my portable workhorse. Sure enough, I put away all my lightweight laptops and set eyes on this huge and heavy gaming laptop, and I’m sure going to miss it when I return it.

Lenovo Legion Y920 Hardware Specifications (as reviewed)

 Intel Core i7-7820HK, Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz

 32GB DDR4-2400, upgradeable to 64GB

Battery:
 6-cell 90Wh

Design and Hardware

Like the Lenovo Legion Y520 we have reviewed back then, the Lenovo Legion Y920 has a very similar design language, although it is a lot thicker and bigger, it has a very solid built that I find it to be on par with other high-end gaming laptops. On the top, you’ll find a very nice textured design and the signature Y-series branding that lights up when it is turned on, the cooling vents are also styled like a sports car exhaust pipe, giving it an obvious identity as a gaming laptop.

One of the issues I have encountered in many gaming laptops is how the ports are being placed, not only the laptop has an ample amount of ports, they are also well-spaced which gives ample room for thick cables or USB devices. We have four USB 3.0 ports, a USB 3.1 Type-C port with Thunderbolt 3, a full sized HDMI 2.0 port and DisplayPort, two audio jacks for headphones and microphone input, and a Killer Gigabit Ethernet port.

What’s impressive here is that Lenovo has managed to fit in a low-profile mechanical keyboard and a rubberized palm rest area which I haven’t seen on laptops for a while, which I find it to have pretty decent ergonomics. Speaking of the keyboard, it does require some time getting used to if you have been typing on a standard mechanical keyboard, Lenovo told me that the keycaps and switches are designed in-house, and for this, I must commend on that as it offers great key travel distance and a less clicky sound as you type on the keyboard.

The keyboard layout is a good one, though I would prefer the volume and brightness control keys to be on the F1-F4 keys instead of the numpad, Lenovo has made some useful shortcuts on the numpad, such as muting the laptop’s microphone, launching the Lenovo Nerve Center software, and dedicated math function keys. The directional keys have the similarly size keycaps as the rest, and there’s a dedicated ‘Screen Record’ button that lets you record any action on your screen at 1080p up to 50 frames per second.

Since this is a rather huge laptop, Lenovo made a lot of sense by including a decent sized trackpad that is well distanced away from the keyboard, this effectively eliminates any accidental touches as you type on the keyboard while resting your palm comfortably. Lenovo uses Synaptics drivers for the trackpad, which is one of my favourite when it comes to tracking precision and sensitivity, I have been very satisfied with the performance and there’s no need to connect a mouse if I am merely using it for work and web browsing.

Additionally, there’s four customizable macro keys on the left and the Turbo switch above it will automatically overclock the machine’s CPU and GPU once activated. Every key’s RGB lighting can be configured through the Lenovo Nerve Center software, which gives it an advantage over some gaming laptops as their RGB lighting system is only zone configurable.

The laptop uses an IPS panel and supports a 75Hz refresh rate with NVIDIA G-Sync, which eliminates tearing when gaming at high frame rates. Despite having a gloss surface, Lenovo has applied an anti-glare coating on it which tends to reduce annoying reflections, and I’m very impressed with how I was able to view things properly in brightly-lit environments. If you are going to purchase this laptop for creative work, the display covers 119 percent of the sRGB color space and has a Delta-E score of <0.3, hence it should provide some decent level of accuracy for some casual creative work.

Accessing the laptop’s internals is straightforward by simply removing all the screws at the base, from here we can see that the laptop has two more DDR4 RAM slots for upgrading to 64GB of memory, the PCI-e solid state drives can also be easily upgraded by removing a single screw, and the 2TB hybrid hard drive can be replaced by carefully removing the ribbon cable that blocks it. The cooling solution is commonly seen on gaming laptops, with one single black coated heat-pipe linked with the two aluminium cooling fans for cooling the CPU and GPU, while the latter two has their own dedicated black coated heat-pipes connected to each of the cooling fan.

User Experience

The laptop on a Starbucks table, barely had enough space for a mouse

I have no complaints about the laptop’s overall performance during my two-week review period, as I’m using it to write this entire review. My initially complain was transporting this 4.4kg behemoth around, and I have challenges finding a table that is large enough to fit the laptop with my cup of drink next to it, however I got used to having it in my backpack after a while, with things such as an external hard drive, an iPad Pro and a couple of cables, it merely feels like my usual traveling backpack, though I won’t entirely suggest that it is lightweight, I consider this to be manageable if you seriously need powerful computing on the go.

In most cases, the laptop will stay plugged into a power source if I had the chance to spot one, but if you were to depend on battery to get some work done, I’ve found it to last a combined usage of up to 3-hours if I’m doing stuffs like e-mails and web browsing. All thanks to NVIDIA’s Battery Boost, I could do some casual gaming at 40 frames per second on GTA V and Tomb Raider on battery with up to 90 minutes of gameplay time, expect that time to go lesser if you are doing video rendering, as it uses both CPU and GPU power.
 As a powerful gaming laptop, I appreciate the Turbo Mode to be automatically enabled by Lenovo’s Nerve Center whenever I launch a game, however with a 500MHz increase in CPU clock speed and 100MHz increase in GPU memory clock speed, I haven’t noticed much difference in gaming performance, you’d probably get a 5-8 frames per second increase, however the CPU gets really hot and I recorded a maximum temperature of 95-degree Celsius, though there isn’t any serious performance throttle and it doesn’t affect the palm area, I would advise putting the laptop on a table for that, and disable Turbo Mode if you don’t need that extra clock speed.

I’ve always find gaming laptops to not have a great sound system, despite many of them claiming that they have dedicated audio chips onboard and probably having speakers that are tuned by some popular companies. You won’t find any audio branding on the Lenovo Legion Y920, but it uses a pair of 2W JBL-tuned speakers and a 3W subwoofer, combined with Dolby Atmos sound enhancement, this speaker system produces loud and clean audio that you won’t find the need for an external speaker if you are gaming in your room.

Synthetic Benchmarks

Gaming

With the GTX 1070, the Lenovo Legion Y920 can handle most AAA game titles at playable frame rates. I’ve gathered feedback from friends and most have suggested that Lenovo could have installed a GTX 1080 on this, let’s hope the company offers that in a future model

3DMark

The Lenovo Legion Y920 scores decent in both 3DMark Time Spy and Fire Strike Extreme tests, while the score on Fire Strike Ultra isn’t surprising for a GTX 1070 GPU, you will still be able to play games in 4K with reduced graphics quality.

PCMark 10

PCMark 10 is the latest benchmarking software from Futuremark that tests the system’s overall capability in multitasking, web browsing, image editing and more. In this benchmark, the Lenovo Legion Y920 scored decently and matches the performance of a desktop PC.

Storage Speed Test – CrystalDiskMark

The Lenovo Legion Y920’s solid state drives perform extremely fast in both read and write transfer tests, and the use of a hybrid hard drive for the system’s secondary storage is very commendable, as this would improve load times in games and applications stored on the drive.

Verdict

Lenovo’s first attempt at making a flagship gaming laptop is an effort worth commending, it is one huge 17-inch gaming laptop I really won’t mind using it for work on the go, as it offers great performance and features that you really can’t find in other laptops for the price of RM12,999, things such as the mechanical keyboard, Core i7-7820HK processor, 32GB of RAM, the two PCI-e solid state drives and a G-Sync display will usually cost an additional RM3000 on competing laptops, which is why I won’t consider it to be an expensive nor affordable gaming laptop. The Lenovo Legion Y920 is meant for those who really wants serious computing and gaming power on-the-go with a decent battery life, and if you can handle that weight, you should consider this purchase.

The Good

Impressive performance

Reasonable battery life

Competitive price point

Decent I/O port placement

Mechanical keyboard and trackpad

Best gaming laptop speakers I’ve ever heard

Display has accurate and vivid colour reproduction

Easy to access internals for upgrading hardware

412

Lenovo Malaysia has unveiled two of their handsets, featuring TheaterMax which is powered by Lenovo’s VR technology. Introducing the Lenovo K4 Note and Vibe X3, both of which have VR capabilities out of the box, and are the world’s first with TheaterMax.

Starting off with the Lenovo K4 Note, which sports a 1080p Full HD IPS display at 5.5 inches. Lenovo claims this device to have good sound recording quality with their 3-microphone system with Wolfson audio codec that filters out ambient noise during sound recording. The K4 Note features twin front facing stereo speakers, powered by Dolby Atmos. It also has a 13MP/5MP rear camera and front facing camera pair, the usual standard for mid range smartphones today. The K4 Note is running a 64-bit octa-core MediaTek MT6753 SoC and a Mali-T720MP3 GPU, alongside 3GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage which is expandable up to 128GB via micro SD. All of these, powered by an embedded 3,300mAh battery.

The Lenovo VIBE X3 also has a 5.5 inch 1080p Full HD IPS screen. While it also features the same 3-microphone system like on the K4 Note, the former’s front facing speakers feature a 32-bit mobile audio DAC that ensures better audio clarity on top of Dolby Atmos technology. The VIBE X3 also sports a 21MP rear camera, capable of 4K Ultra HD video capabilities, coupled with an 8MP front facing shooter for selfie lovers. Under the hood lies a 64-bit hexa-core Snapdragon 808 processor, like on last year’s LG G4. Coupled with 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, also expandable via micro SD. The VIBE X3 draws its power from a 3,500mAh battery.

Also launched is a VR headset by Lenovo, known as the ANTVR. The fairly light headset weighs at 160g and sports an aspherical lens with a 100-degree wide viewing angle. The ANTVR has a folding design, allowing you to slide in your smartphone with ease. The headset is also glasses friendly for the four-eyed folk. Launched alongside the K4 Note and the VIBE X3, the ANTVR will pair well with either device since they feature TheaterMax, which Lenovo promises an immersive and cinematic experience. According to the company, TheaterMax stands on three experimental pillars – Exploring, Watching and Interacting.

The Lenovo K4 Note and VIBE X3 are available for sale nationwide at retail outlets near you, priced at RM999 and RM1,899 respectively. The K4 Note comes in Matte White and Matte Black while the latter is available in Pearl White. Lenovo’s ANTVR headset on the other hand, costs RM99 and will come in both black and white versions.

Lenovo Malaysia launches new range of A and S-Series smartphones

367

While competition is going strong for the Chinese smartphone market here in Malaysia, Lenovo isn’t resting its laurels and has launched three A-Series and S-Series smartphone models. These new smartphones include new software features which includes Lenovo’s range of DOit apps.

Lenovo A526

The successor to the
A516
 which we’ve recently reviewed, the A526 has a new
MediaTek
 MT6582M 1.3GHZ Quad-core processor paired with 1GB RAM. The rest of the internals remains the same as the A516 such as a 5MP main camera, 4GB ROM and a2000mAh battery. The A526 will be available for purchase in mid-May.

Lenovo A680

Similar specifications to the A526, it has the same processor, RAM, battery size and main camera, however the
A680
 has a slightly larger screen at 5-inches with a FWVGA resolution. The
A680
 is available now and priced at RM499.

Lenovo A859

The successor to the A850 which we’ve reviewed recently. While maintaining the same
MediaTek
 MTK6582M 1.3GHz quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM, the A859 has an upgraded display from qHD (960×540) to 720p resolution. Battery remains the same at 2250mAh and the camera is pretty much the same at 8MP but the front camera has been upgraded to a 1.6MP fixed focus sensor, the phone is available now at RM719.

Lenovo S650

The S650 features a
Mediatek
 MT6582M 1.3GHz quad core processor and has a 4.7-inch qHD display, the phone also features a 8MP main camera and is available for purchase at a price of RM699.

Lenovo S660

Now, the S660 here looks much more interesting, with a metallic like backplate and a much more better design that the models above. This phone has a
3000mAh battery
 which is able to offer superior all day battery life. As usual, the phone runs on the same MediaTek processor. The phone is available now at RM749.

Lenovo S860

The S860 has the same
MediaTek
 processor as mentioned above, there’s however a slight bump on RAM and internal storage at 2GB and 16GB respectively. The S860 has a 5.3-inch 720p display with 5-point multitouch, 8MP autofocus camera and 1.6MP front camera. Battery size is a whooping 4000mAh, which will give users a talk time of up to 24 hours on 3G. The S860 is available now at RM1169.

Similar processor and software, different display sizes and chassis

The release may seemed boring, but we love one thing for sure on these phones, is that they are no longer equipped with a mere 512MB RAM and this could be good news for entry level phone buyers. However, do expect these phones to be stuck at Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean with no further updates to Android KitKat. Judging by the price tag, you’d pretty be off with some other brands as well, you know them.

smartphones

this year announced back in Mobile World Congress 2015, it features an attractive design that looks like a slim point and shoot camera and a 16-megapixel main camera with optical image stabilisation is onboard the phone. Be very excited, because Lenovo Malaysia is launching the VIBE Shot next week as we have just received an invite to check out the company’s first ever smartphone targeted at smartphone photographers.

Powered by a Snapdragon 615 system on chip with 3GB of RAM, the VIBE Shot is a powerful mid-range device that sports a 5-inch Full HD display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3, 32GB of internal storage with expandable memory support, a front facing 8-megapixel camera and a huge 3000mAh battery under that 7.3mm body profile. The VIBE Shot is also a
Dual
SIM
smartphone
that supports LTE networks and comes preloaded with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop with VIBE UI running on top.

The announcement of the VIBE Shot will serve as a direct competition to a few Chinese smartphones, including vivo x5Pro, Oppo R7 series and Xiaomi’s Mi 4i, which all are Snapdragon 615 powered smartphones. The VIBE Shot can also be considered as the successor to the VIBE X2 which we have reviewed previously, so do expect the VIBE Shot to be priced around RM1600 at launch.

Lenovo may have an answer to the ROG Ally soon

5.6K

The Steam Deck and ROG Ally have caused an uproar in demand of gaming handhelds, and it looks like we are about to see Lenovo joining the bandwagon really soon with a similar device called the Legion Go.

Exclusively reported by Windows Central, the Legion Go might be powered by the same AMD Phoenix processor that currently powers the ROG Ally, it will also purportedly come with a larger 8-inch display, which should make it more comfortable to view for gaming.

The Legion Go also seems to be an internal project that was leaked years ago and was more known as the Legion Play, which is a cloud-based Android gaming handheld similar to the Logitech G, however the product never made it to general availability and Lenovo seem to have revived the project to make it run Windows 11.

Prior to the ROG Ally and Steam Deck, another major brand that has attempted at gaming handhelds was Alienware, which we checked out the Concept UFO back in CES 2020 and had a really good first impressions of it, though it never made it into production and was probably cancelled due to power efficiency and performance issues back then, so don’t be surprised if the Legion Go won’t make it into production as well.

But above everything else, one thing that Windows based gaming handhelds will need to resolve is Windows itself, which still isn’t optimized for small screens, let alone its touch screen experience, and we definitely hope to see that situation improve once these devices get more common.
