Lenovo Malaysia has announced that the Lenovo Legion Duel gaming phone is coming to Malaysia very soon.
This is the first mobile device under the Legion gaming brand, and it comes packed with some top-end specs and interesting quirks. The “Duel” in the name is also a play on “Dual”, which is a design choice that permeates through this gaming phone optimised for horizontal-orientation gaming.
The battery is split into two 2500mAh batteries (a total of 500mAh capacity) and has two USB-C ports for vertical and horizontal use. It can support 90W chargers, but it will come with 65W chargers for the Malaysian market.
Lenovo claims that splitting the battery should help heat distribution to be more even, rather than concentrated on one side of the phone.
There’s also Dual-SIM capability (and supports 5G), dual front-facing speakers (which can provide haptic feedback), dual trigger buttons and also comes in two colours.
The Lenovo Legion Duel also has a pop-up front-camera that’s made for livestreaming. It has 240Hz sampling rate- which means the phone picks up your inputs faster than ususal- and can be docked (via cable or Bluetooth) to turn it into a desktop experience, with keyboard and mouse and gamepad support.
Here’s the specs for the Lenovo Legion Duel
- CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus (5G)
- GPU: Qualcomm Adreno 650
- Memory: 12GB/16GB LPDDR5
- Storage: UFS 3.1 125GB/512GB
- OS: Android 10 ( with ZUI 12/Legion OS)

Malaysia is the first to get the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel in Southeast Asia. As you can see from the flagship-level specs and interesting list of features, this has a premium price tag.
The Lenovo Legion Phone Duel is priced at RM3,399 for the 12GB RAM/256GB storage variant, and RM3,999 for the 16GB/512GB variant, and comes in either Vengence Red or Blazing Blue colours.
It will be available on Lenovo Malaysia’s website and participating retailers. A special launch promo (from October 26 to November 30) includes a free gift worth up to RM329, like the Legion H500 Pro 7.1 headphones, while stocks last.
