Lenovo Legion Y70 debuts with 8,000mAh battery, SD 8 Gen 5 and 144Hz screen | Infinium-tech

Lenovo is back in the smartphone game with the Legion Y70 (2026). The Chinese brand has not released any phone under its name since the Y90 in 2022.

We knew most, if not all, of the Legion Y70 from the various teasers that came before this announcement. This is a gaming phone with solid features and a massive 8,000mAh battery with 90W charging and bypass charging capabilities.

The Legion Y70 has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (non-Elite) SoC paired with 12GB or 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, clocked at up to 9,600Mbps. It has 256GB UFS 4.1-speed storage.

Cooling is handled by a 5,500mm2 vapor chamber, which can drop CPU core temperatures by up to 7°C.

The battery numbers are impressive. The Legion Y70 packs an 8,000mAh battery with 90W charging that supports bypass charging. Lenovo claims you’ll get up to two days of use from the power pack and it will remain efficient for up to 7 years or 1,200 cycles.

The 6.8-inch OLED upfront is a 144Hz unit with 7,000 nits of peak brightness and Dolby Vision support.

Camera-wise, you’re getting a 50MP 1/1.56-inch wide-angle with an f/1.8 lens, an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide that can focus up to 2.5cm, and a 32MP selfie upfront.

Lenovo has the Legion Y70 available for pre-order, with prices starting at CNY 3,099 (€390, GBP340, $450, INR 44,000, converted). You can choose from Ice Sol White or Carbon Black, and 12/256GB, 12/512GB, 16/512GB, and 1TB/512GB models.
