We haven’t seen a new Lenovo Legion phone in a while: The Legion Y70 was announced in August last year, and it seems the reasoning behind the long hiatus is that Lenovo has discontinued its Legion gaming phone business.
A Lenovo spokesperson confirmed the departure of the Legion phone line in a statement to Android Authority describing a broader “business transformation and gaming portfolio consolidation”.
Lenovo is discontinuing its Android-based Legion mobile gaming phones as part of a larger corporate transformation and gaming portfolio consolidation. As a leader in gaming devices and solutions, Lenovo is committed to advancing the gaming category in all form factors, as well as focusing on where it can bring the greatest value to the global gaming community. – Lenovo spokesperson
With the departure of the Legion gaming phones, the industry is left with the Asus ROG Phone line, Nubia Red Magic series, and Xiaomi’s Black Shark phones as the top three drivers. The Lenovo Legion phones had some memorable designs including side pop-up selfie cameras dual charging ports and dedicated cooling fans.
