Editorial report
Lenovo Legion Y90 18 GB / 640 GB / China technical sheet
The Lenovo Legion Y90 is for gaming-focused buyers who want a fast display and high-end hardware. Its main trade-off is a bulky build: at 252 g and 10.1 mm thick, it is heavier and thicker than most phones of its time. This China configuration also lacks Google Services, an important limitation for anyone relying on them. The phone is sold in configurations from 12 GB / 256 GB to 18 GB / 640 GB; the version described here pairs 12 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage.
The 6.92″ AMOLED display reaches 144 Hz, a refresh rate among the best of its time, and 1300 nits of brightness, higher than most phones from the period. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 puts performance among the best of its time, with an AnTuTu result of 1,060,400. The 64 MP camera uses a 1/1.32″ sensor, one of the largest of the period, although its f/1.9 aperture is worse than most and it has no optical image stabilization. Its 5600 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones of its time, while 68 W charging is among the fastest. The operating system is Android 12.
With an overall NeoScore of 7.0, the Legion Y90 is a strong fit for buyers who prioritize gaming, a high-refresh-rate display and a large battery. Its weight and thickness are clear drawbacks, and the absence of Google Services in this China configuration makes its software setup an important consideration.
