Lenovo, whose name is best known for making those laptops that companies insist on handing out, has canceled its gaming phone business. The move follows rumors that the business no longer existed, which which the company has just confirmed.
This of course means there will be no more Legion phones, which is a shame for people who like their mobiles to be all about gaming. There are still a few left, though, with Asus set to announce its ROG Phone 7 on April 13.
Gone but not forgotten
The rumors started when a so-called Lenovo employee claimed on social media that the Legion business had been shut down. Today, Android Authority managed to get a response from Lenovo itself, with a spokesperson confirming everyone’s fears. The Legion brand is gone, though the statement leaves a little wiggle room to hope something else replaces it.
“As a leader in gaming devices and solutions, Lenovo is committed to advancing the gaming category across all form factors and focusing on areas where it can bring the most value to the game. global gaming community.
It’s less than ideal for a ton of reasons, including people who have worked on the Legion brand.
Those looking for a new gaming-focused phone will have to take a look at the ROG Phone 7, but beyond that the options are slim unless you’re just looking to get the most powerful phone around. .
If so, the iPhone 14 Pro Max and Galaxy S23 Ultra are good choices, but we don’t think any of them will fill the void created by Legion’s demise.
