there's a separate RGB led in the little
fam are you kidding me everyone and their
dog is getting into the gaming phone space now but not everyone designs
their gaming phone for competitive esports play that's
right david no no stop it stop it this is an
esports phone and there's legitimately
some stuff about it that is straight up very very cool
this is the lenovo legion dual phone 2
not dual phone it's just one phone dual like
i'm fighting that kind of cool stuff it's got a snapdragon 888 processor
up to 18 gigabytes of lpddr5 memory
up to 512 gigabytes of ufs 3.1 storage
and get this it's got an active cooling
system for its vapor chamber cooler that's got a 12
500 RPM fan here and then a 15
000 RPM fan at the top for exhaust so
yes my friends you are looking at holes in the phone here and here
for flipping cooling and apparently they have re-thought the layout of the
internals of this phone so all the heat producing devices are
kind of all aligned along this cooling path
they claim that the air heats up as much as
22 degrees going from the intake to the
exhaust this thing is crazy like yeah the rog
phone is for gaming or whatever but this is
clearly meant to be held like this i mean even if i'm taking a
picture so it's got a 63 megapixel camera and 16 megapixel rear snappers on
it like if i'm taking a picture with this thing i'm holding it like this like a freaking
camera okay we're you know what we're gonna straight up we're gonna straight up open the camera right away here what's up
jono this guy waving in a picture now i got a
blurry hand to look at anyway the point is the rear camera is not the main event
here the main event is the pop out selfie camera that's
right you cannot be a legit pro gamer unless
you have a face cam while you're gaming man this
thing is a chunky boy though which makes sense when you've got an
active cooling system with not one but two fans
a 5500 milliamp hour battery that is split into two
and charges at up to 90 watts
and of course like any self-respecting gaming phone it's got
dual forward-facing speakers so hopefully it's gonna sound pretty decent
that's a bit of a slow fingerprint scanner but let's see how it uh performs okay that's
fine when you're unlocking just a little slow to register your fingerprint so
that's pretty good all right so let's just oh yeah there it
is look at that what's up david wait
it's on the hold on a second are you
kidding me it is on the lock button
so wait like what
that is crazy why would you put the camera right on the lock button
yeah i don't know if you want the lock button position for right-handed people
and then if you want sort of the the landscape mode to be kind of a
sensible you want the volume rocker out of the way while you're gaming so you got your shoulder buttons and stuff i
mean i guess that's just where it has to go as a pc
enthusiast it drives me crazy how much better the
front-facing cameras are on phones like are you telling me pc manufacturers
that you couldn't find a way to put a camera that thick in your laptop impossible completely
impossible can't be done what about processing okay Intel are you
telling me that processing cannot be fixed okay it can't be better at any rate
that is a lot of smoothing i am beautiful
holy crap look at that my pores
are picture perfect how much you want to bet that i straight up do not have
wrinkles when i smile on this thing this side is hilariously smooth wow
oh beauty mode you so silly that is super cool and i think they did a
bang-up job of getting the length of the lens just right for a face camera while
you're gaming but of course there's more to this that makes it a gaming phone than just
performance cooling and a front-facing camera starting of course
with all of the touch sensitive buttons that are located around the device
so on each top you've got two trigger buttons
or rather really two shoulder buttons because neither of them is
pressure sensitive so you got one two three four
you've got an additional touch sensitive button on the back of the device which i
believe is you know what i'm gonna have to find
that a little bit later and then finally this
is super cool they've gone and they've put a more advanced
haptic motor system in this phone so that you've actually got two
pressure sensitive buttons on either side of the screen
i am really excited to try that out naturally there's RGB lighting
hey all right so it's got a 144hz
display but there's more to the responsiveness of a mobile
phone display than just how quickly it refreshes it
actually pulls for touches at 720hz
so that means that when you touch the screen by pulling more often
it's getting the most up-to-date possible information so that your inputs
are going to have less latency 720 yeah that's pretty cool we're
getting dangerously close to like pc peripherals now touchscreens are inherently not as
responsive as something like a mouse or a keyboard
input device but we can improve that a lot by pulling
more frequently oh my god hold on a second this is this
is hilarious um i'm just going to enable trubo fan
here this is cool so you can change your
lighting effects depending on what's going on so it can play with their music
app which i don't know if you would use that much because you probably have spotify or whatever
color changes by device temperature when you get calls cool
when did having lights on your phone become not cool anymore remember those
cool apps where you could have like anyone that had an RGB led this is back
in like the uh nexus five days right so you could have
like color coded and flashes and stuff what was that app called there's like a
cool app everyone loved so much no way they're so separate RGB led in
the little bam are you kidding me to lenovo legion's
credit the design is really well balanced they said that
like we saw on the rg phone 5 they split the battery apart so this is better for
battery longevity as well as for the balance of the device and talking about battery longevity
yeah it's all fine and good to be able to charge your device to 50
in 13 minutes but you also have to have protections in place for your battery
so since this is a device that is very likely to be plugged in via usb type-c
of course there are two type-c ports there's one that you can use horizontally
and one that you can use vertically you want to make sure that you're not just
juicing it up to 100 and leaving it there the whole time
while it's running an intensive application like a game and heating up
because that's really bad for the battery so they've got phalanx
battery protection system not to be confused with phallus battery protection
system which is more common in adult toys should we fire up some cod this video is
brought to you by vincero vincero makes timepieces that fit a
variety of budgets and they're currently having their spring upgrade sale you can get up to 30 off
and free shipping on everything they sell and if watches aren't your thing you can
check out their new blue light filtering eyeglasses for some stylish eye
protection and no discount code or anything is required it is
automatically applied in the checkout so don't wait the sale ends
april 12th so go take advantage of the vincero spring
upgrade sale at the link below look at that panoramic stereo sound 144 hertz
this display will do up to 1300 nits peak brightness it's just shy
of 7 inches 6.92 inches and is a 1080p
class display 2460 by 1080.
i'm expecting it to be very good to compete with the rg foam five it's going
to have to be excellent
that's pretty rich isn't it really good
oh god oh boy hey i'm outta here
how do i just aim but not fire okay
like that wow these spots are really bad
these are clearly designed to make you feel good about your skills man
because i have barely been touched oh
here we go oh well sorry i was confused
i couldn't move too busy winning oh here we go
here we go here we go here we go now that i know how to do it this is fairly
intuitive it's not bad so you go why triggers see
i just didn't realize you can move these things around let's see how it handles screen
recording while playing okay what's rampage i think rampa oh wow
high speed mode i mean this game's locked at 30 to 60
FPS anyway but there are games that do run at a high
frame rate and having all those extra functions bound to the touch buttons at
the back and stuff not bad and you know what it's credit
i've been sitting here playing for i don't know what 10-15 minutes at this
point it's barely even warm to the touch here is so this is where they put all
the heat generating components and even with the fans running like it's
warm but the sides where my hands are not bad
hold on let me see how many of these bots i can line up and kill at the same time
they just stand there oh man i still can't kill them
it's shocking like are they pointing at the ground watch them
watch him watch him let's see let's see where he shoots where are you shooting
dog look at this guy look he's shooting at the ground i mean if the idea of gaming
is to make you feel like an unstoppable badass this is going to do the trick for
you it's like i might as well be darth vader fighting like ewoks
like an army of ewoks like jar jar sized ewoks
or ewok size charge our bankses what would be worse
i'm impressed the display looks freaking great they boast what is it 110
coverage of dci p3 or something like that 111
pretty darn impressive the sound is great HDR 10 plus
if you're into gaming hey this is
looking pretty compelling and that middle part really is toasty
like this thing is freaking it's going man oh i just
realized i never actually um finished doing the unboxing it comes
with two usbc to see cables what else we got here this thing
is freaking heavy hold on a second do you have to plug
both freaking cables in to get the max output
are you kidding me am i understanding this correctly okay what else we got stylish
outside oh god yeah that's not what i would
describe as stylish outside everything else about this has been great so far look at that type see
the headphone jack how hard was that apple really hard
apparently sim oh i didn't even mention it has dual sim slots so we've got a sim removal tool
and that's that's it for the accessory package
man this really puts the brick and power brick this thing this is a really cool
device now the gaming phones have been through their first couple of sort of
yeah does this really need to exist if it does
not really in this form kind of iterations ah it's getting to the point
where like honestly if most of what you did was game on
you know a mobile device like an Android device there's a lot of
gaming to be done on this and the price doesn't even seem
that outlandish compared to another mobile gaming console like
i mean well really there's only the switch switch lights which lights
is still live vita is not still alive david
