What is this even about
0:10
We got sound effects on the unboxing experience. This is when you really need a boost
0:16
And on this side of the power brick, two separate ports. Turbo charge
0:29
And it shows, the animation shows that it's getting power from both spots
0:36
That is sick. 33% turbo charge, dual input, zero to 50% in 10 minutes, full battery in 30 minutes
0:45
And that's 5,000 milliamp hours total of power. And the way they achieved that
0:49
was by splitting the battery units into two. So you're actually charging two separate batteries
0:55
with two separate chargers. But as far as your phone's concerned, it's gonna operate like a single 5,000 milliamp hour battery
1:02
Cool. Just recently, I'm looking at the Red Magic 5S. I've got it over here, actually
1:09
And this phone, it really surprised me. For the price, the features that it packs in
1:15
the fit and finish, the sound quality, the fast display, the built-in fan
1:22
I mean, yes, it was iterative. And we saw the 5G, the Red Magic 5G model
1:28
just a few months prior to it, but this segment of the market is heating up real fast
1:36
and I might be even more excited for this one that's in front of me now
1:39
than that one from the previous video because this one kind of takes things to another level
1:46
and it's not a company I've looked at a lot in the smartphone area
1:50
I talked about this device on Lulater not that long ago and being excited for it, and here it is
1:57
Can you imagine that? It's right in front of me. This is the Lenovo Legion Phone Dual
2:03
Dual because it's got all kinds of dual stuff inside of it
2:07
It's got a crazy spec list. You look over here at the side, 16 plus 512 GB
2:13
That's 16 gigs of RAM, 512 gigs of storage. This one is in the Vengeance Red color
2:20
And I also happen to know it's got a Snapdragon 865 Plus inside of it
2:25
It's just a powerhouse in a number of ways. It can charge off multiple USB, it has two batteries
2:32
I mean it's just, it's a different thing. It's another, what is going, what is this even about
2:42
We got sound effects on the unboxing experience. There's extra points certainly for that
2:48
So the phone sits over here. I'm gonna remove that. What else is in here
2:53
Look at this, stylish on the outside, Savage on the inside. Savage
3:00
So what's inside of here then? Just a little bit of paperwork. Ah, SIM card tool
3:06
You gotta have the stylish game ready case as well in the X pattern
3:13
So the styling carries through. Well, it's clear, so you're gonna see the phone styling
3:18
which certainly is about to be aggressive. Quick start guide. This is a USB type C to typical
3:27
traditional 3.5 mil audio jack. So you need an adapter. I guess the Red Magic gets a few extra points
3:34
It still has a headphone jack on it, but not a big deal for a phone like this
3:40
Also in the package, we have a USB type C to C cable
3:45
We have a USB type C to C cable, though they have a different appearance to them
3:51
This one is obviously smaller, but it also has some red accents on it
3:55
Well, why don't I just go ahead and crack into this, Kirk? It's kind of the point of this channel
4:00
It's called Unbox Therapy. I don't know if you heard the name yet
4:04
So you unbox things. This one says 5A on it for five amps, I presume
4:10
And this gives you a better look at the red accents on there as well
4:14
It's a robust cable. Now the other one looks to be a little bit longer
4:18
but still robust seeming. And this one actually has the SS super speed indicator
4:26
on it for USB. All right, cool. The power brick is tremendous dual, hence the name dual
4:35
Now this is an engineering sample by the way. And this is a really magical thing for a person like myself
4:42
who pays attention to the recharge speed of things, The fast charging, particularly on a device like this
4:49
which is very power hungry. How does this thing work? What is the story with this
4:55
High capacity, 5,000 milliamp hour battery, thanks to dual 2,500 milliamp hour batteries
5:02
placed in the gamers grip areas on either side of the central logic board
5:08
Two 2,500 milliamp hour batteries inside of here. All right, that's like
5:13
that's more than double an iPhone SE 2020 inside of one singular smartphone
5:20
Now, what about when you go to recharge it? By inventing advanced methods to better dissipate heat
5:26
with dual liquid cooling and copper tubes, plus moving the dual 2500 milliamp hour batteries
5:31
off to the sides where gamers' hands would rest versus forcing them to touch the warm logic board
5:37
encasing the processor, Lenovo made the handset easier to hold while extending gameplay without the fear of overheating
5:44
So they took into consideration the location of the batteries on this unit
5:48
in order to save your hands from having to touch the hot bits when you're gaming
5:55
You wouldn't want to be distracted. This thing feels robust. But what about the recharge
6:00
Here we go. A convenient center charge port means your cord won't get in the way
6:05
while catching a battery boost Gaming in landscape you can have full 90 watt turbo power charging from the center and side ports Go from 0 to 50 in 10 minutes and a full charge in 30 on a gaming phone with
6:22
5,000 milliamp hours. Wow, okay, so this is, I'm, yeah, there's some cool stuff happening in here
6:31
that's for sure, and that's why you have the double ports on there. This thing, it feels
6:37
very robust i should mention i think uh many people will even have just a kind of plugged in
6:43
gaming experience people it's crazy what's happening 2020 people are doing competitive
6:49
gaming on the smartphone you got to stay wired up you need lots of power okay very good
6:53
all right we wiped it out that's that sweet all right time for the main attraction
7:01
the lenovo legion phone duo Whoa. Ooh
7:22
I don't know that. Powered by Android. What? Hold up. Is there a screen protector on here
7:27
What am I looking at? Oh, we're booting up in landscape. That's very interesting
7:34
So the styling follows through to the front of the device. On the wallpaper, you have, oh my goodness gracious
7:41
you have the light up logo on the back. You have the dual camera units over there
7:46
Savage inside, stylish outside. I gotta get this sticker off, obviously. Now, this region right here does some pretty fancy stuff
7:56
That's actually a front-facing pop-out camera meant to work in landscape mode when you're gaming
8:02
it just pops right up and then you can do live streaming on twitch or whatever from your mobile
8:08
which is pretty wild we also have these red lenovo accents over here on the side the whole
8:16
thing feels very robust there's your second usb type c port again for landscape usage they've
8:24
really thought about what a gamer would want in a gaming phone and of course you're going to want
8:29
to be able to play plugged in without being distracted by the portrait port, which is where
8:35
you want to grip, where your hand's going to hold. So these indicators on the top are going to be
8:40
your shoulder buttons, I suppose. Capacitive touch. Now, they're a little bit less descriptive to
8:47
your fingers than you have on the Red Magic 5S, which actually has an indent in the frame, so you
8:55
know exactly where those triggers are. I'm gonna try this out. I'll decide if it's an issue or not
9:00
Probably not, but it's worth noting. We have a volume rocker on the left side
9:04
and then your power switch on the right side. Funny enough, the power switch looks to be
9:11
part of the pop-out section. So I'm really curious to see how that works
9:16
And look there, you have your light up. So cool. Look at that, RGB
9:22
You gotta have it in a gaming phone. Now, I don't know, maybe the default would be a different color
9:27
if I didn't have the red version of the device. So device booted up
9:31
I'm going to max out the brightness, turn off the auto brightness, and I'm going to do what I would always do here
9:39
and dive into the settings and check out the screen options. So if I head over to display here, let's see what I got
9:50
Yes, full brightness, adaptive off. You have your lighting effects in here as well
9:55
gaming, incoming call, notifications, breathe, flash, wave, or always on. And you can have the lighting effect only come on
10:04
when your gaming is completely up to you, but it's kind of an interesting idea
10:08
to have it also act as a notifier in an environment where you don't want to be buzzed
10:13
where you don't want to have sound. You could just glance over and see the light going off
10:17
and know that you have a notification or an incoming call. You can also use it as a charge indicator
10:22
So that's pretty cool. some functionality to the lighting effect not just not just trying to look cool but some
10:28
functionality to it now also display refresh that's going to be important on a gaming phone
10:33
that's important on any phone right now by default out of the box they have the 90 hertz setting
10:39
enabled high screen refresh brings smooth display effects you have 60 hertz as an option for some
10:46
battery savings and then 144 hertz for the most dynamic effects this is just a really responsive
10:54
feeling uh display not just for gaming but in the os you can also have 144 hertz come on
11:03
only when you launch into games so you can save battery and then when you go into the games
11:08
it boosts into 144 hertz but for the purposes video i'm going to keep it there because i like
11:14
to just, I like to feel the butter smooth. As we're well aware, we've covered it. It's now a
11:20
meme. Kirk says it's a meme. Therefore it's a meme. Buttery smooth. Now I'm really curious about
11:26
this pop-up camera before I even jump into any games. I want to see what happens when I launch
11:31
the camera. I'm going to allow and I'm going to agree. So first off, obviously we go into the rear
11:38
cameras as you normally would. We have 1X, we have 2X, there's Kilo, he's sleeping. He's just
11:44
cruising along in dreamland over there. Kilo. See, he didn't even respond and he's, oh, there he is
11:52
Go back to sleep. So then we go ahead and do the magic trick and we hit the little icon here for
11:58
the front facing camera and the motor pops out and look at that. It's, I'm definitely in beauty
12:04
my complexion is nowhere near that smooth. Let me just, I got to tone that down a little bit here
12:10
70 on the beauty scale, no, no, no, no, no. We can't have that, we gotta go to a zero
12:16
And here we go. Three, two, one. Oh very detailed Very beard hair as you guys always ask for
12:32
And so I'm going to be happy with that. And that's the front facing. 20 megapixel on the front, 64 megapixel on the rear
12:39
That is still some tremendous megapixels for the front facing camera. Now, I guess we might as well, since we're already there
12:48
we might as well do some rear shot as well. We'll do the official unbox therapy knife
12:54
as you normally would. We snap. 1X. 0.6 for the wide
13:09
2X. So that gives you a little bit of camera versatility. You catch a zoom
13:17
You catch a wide. You catch a standard focal length. That's going to be your optimal image right there
13:22
64 megapixels to work with. Yeah, it's got a camera. The camera's not going to be the core priority here
13:29
Did you see the phone and the RGB and the triggers and the Snapdragon 865 Plus with 16 gigabytes of RAM
13:36
Did you forget about 5,000 milliamp hours of battery life charging at 90 watts
13:42
did you forget about charging the phone entirely in 30 minutes? I hope you didn't forget
13:52
I almost forgot. Oh, the display, I should probably say it is AMOLED
13:57
as you might imagine, on a phone like this. And it's going to be 2340 by 1080, 6.65 inches
14:05
Now, one thing that you've probably noticed on these gaming phones is they don't really compete for maximum screen to body ratio
14:14
That's not really what they're looking to do. Instead, you get a forehead, you get a chin
14:20
but typically what you get back is better audio performance with stereo sound
14:26
That's another part of the dual naming. It's the dual cameras, the dual batteries
14:31
It's also the dual stereo speakers. So actually, maybe we should load up some audio real quick
14:38
We'll first test some dialogue on the Lulater channel, and then maybe even a couple of tunes here real quick
14:45
Cut out for a front-facing camera. It got crazy. You remember the Pixel device, Pixel 4
14:51
It got crazy for a minute. They put the radar in there. It's a giant forehead on that thing
14:57
And then it started to shrink a little bit. People were like, at least in the end
15:00
Yeah, it sounds great. tons of low-end stereo representation we will do some quick music as well right now
15:08
that's an old unbox therapy tune some might even call it a tune Hmm
15:34
Wow. Good old days. Yeah, so I'm happy with the speakers. I think they might even come to life even more
15:42
when you boot into a game. Something I'm noticing, no dedicated game switch
15:46
which I kind of liked on the Red Magic phone. You can just click this little switch
15:52
and you're straight into the game mode. I'm also noticing right now
15:56
this phone is quite a bit lighter. Now it doesn't have the same battery setup
15:59
as this guy over here. It's not quite as powerful. And I think the screen is actually a little bit smaller
16:05
but this one feels more like a typical smartphone. This one is definitely a gaming smartphone
16:10
It's more robust. You got to imagine as well with this camera module in here
16:15
it's going to have some weight to go with the motors and stuff. So this thing, it feels, it's hefty
16:20
All right, so instead I think you probably hit this button here. Oh my goodness gracious
16:24
The audio was even thicker into the game mode. So all of a sudden now
16:32
144 Hertz gaming enabled pyramid cooling ultra stereo. So we have the CPU and GPU readout
16:39
couple of different games installed. We'll start with Bullet Force, which can obviously take advantage of frame rates up above 60
16:47
as I mentioned in a recent video and showcased its ability to do so with the Red Magic 5S
16:54
Oh, wow, okay. So quick update from Kirk. I'm just gonna turn this down
17:00
It's not often I even have to turn a phone down to speak over it, but this thing is loud
17:05
So on the Red Magic, you pull in from the right-hand side
17:10
to get access to your various specs and settings that you would wanna have access to in game mode
17:16
On the Legion device, you pull down from the top, so you'll see here
17:20
and we can see the quality of our connection, which is nice
17:24
our ping, which is not so nice, GPU performance, CPU performance, the temperature, our battery life
17:34
our current frames per second relative to our screen refresh, and then our ability to do a stream mode
17:44
which I guess is going to pop up our cameras, and now we're streaming. Oh, my goodness gracious
17:49
That's futuristic, man. That's the future. You're just mobile, you just pop into a stream real quick
17:58
Now I'm not a game streamer, but if I was, this could be enticing on the mobile side of things
18:04
So I'm gonna go ahead and pop that away real quick. I'm just gonna come down here and turn off stream mode
18:10
But I noticed as well, there's a back record mode. What does it do? Oh, for highlights. Oh
18:16
You get your double kill again. Right. Now what I like about this is it's also haptic
18:22
So as I scroll across this wheel, it's clicking and it's a very powerful haptic as well
18:28
This part of the menu here on the right hand side is scrollable also
18:32
So you also got vibration RAM clean no call You can turn off notifications altogether Same with gestures control your lighting WhatsApp Messenger A lot of quick settings in here so you don have
18:45
to leave your game. I also notice this rampage button, which is going to just boost up your CPU
18:53
GPU, probably increase your heat at the same time in exchange for performance. So lots of performance
19:00
specific stuff in there that you get to choose from and configure and also according to Kirk I
19:06
didn't know this but because it doesn't have a dedicated game mode switch you can hold down on
19:12
these two capacitive triggers to launch into the game mode so it does have an option other than
19:18
launching it by hitting the button inside of the interface okay yeah so just like on the previous
19:24
device and any device that features these trigger buttons you map them to the section of the screen
19:33
where you would have your sights and where you would have obviously your fire and then
19:39
your thumbs can stay interacting with your aim i'm gonna turn it up for maximum
19:46
for the maximum immersion whoa it's loud I thought that tree was a person
20:03
Woo! Got one, he got me. This, it's incredible. It's just a phone
20:13
And it makes such a tremendous difference just having the shoulder buttons
20:18
I'm telling you, it really starts to feel like a controller or something so much closer to a controller experience
20:27
And I've been one of these people reluctant, especially for these style of games
20:32
to convert to playing them on mobile as opposed to on a console or on a PC
20:39
But I mean, they've improved, the experience improved so much on a device like this
20:46
I really start to imagine that you could put some hours into it
20:51
FPS is currently 144. 144 FPS. I'll just play this a little bit more
21:01
You're addicted to it now, right? That's right. Reload! Reload
21:18
Oh, that's a long shot right there. Oh. Anyway
21:32
Yeah, you get the point. Look, for shooting games, it's a massive difference, obviously
21:39
And we're gonna actually, you know what? We might as well try out another game
21:43
I think we have a racing game on here as well. You have Need for Speed here
21:49
And this is another example of how you might utilize some triggers because you could have acceleration and so forth
21:58
So what I can use it for steering you think? Set it up for that
22:10
So now I've got the triggers set up for turning and look at the precision
22:17
I can just sort of tap them, hold them. Oh, I missed that jump
22:55
That was not good. Listen to the audio of this thing. Oh my God
23:02
Holy. So, I think you get the point. gaming phones, I believe they're here to stay
23:14
And it's kind of, it's just amazing what they've achieved in such a short period of time
23:20
in taking the smartphone. And obviously the software is a big part of it
23:24
the games that you have to choose from, but taking the smartphone and really making it a far better gaming experience
23:31
through these new types of inputs. Now on this one, you add to it this front facing camera
23:37
and you have a real gaming and game streaming machine, which is not something I thought
23:44
that I was gonna see in a smartphone anytime soon, but here it is in the form of the new Legion Phone Duo
23:52
from Lenovo. So Lenovo's in the gaming phone game. Obviously, we have the ROG Phone, the latest one
23:59
We have the devices from Red Magic that are in the mix and also the devices from Black Shark that are in the mix
24:05
There's lots of great options out there. This one might be the ultimate powerhouse
24:11
with the 90 watt charging, the dual batteries, 865 plus, 16 gigs of RAM, 512 storage, 144 Hertz display
24:19
If you're hunting for a spec sheet, OLED, dual front facing cameras
24:25
I mean, this is a spec sheet, definitely. Now it does come at the expense of weight and heftiness
24:31
but I think for the people that are interested in this type of phone, you're prepared for that anyways
