The connection with keyboard, mouse or gamepad is also possible, as long as the respective game supports it. External screens can also be connected via USB or Miracast, on which you can even run other apps than on the smartphone screen at the same time. The software is now based on Android 11, offers reasonably up-to-date security patches and provides a great user manual including videos, sound samples and direct links to the respective functions.

5G is again available, as well as fast LTE with good frequency coverage, so that the smartphone can be used in almost all countries in the world. Our test device performs on a high level in our test with the reference router Netgear Nighthawk AX12 Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra or the Asus ROG Phone 5 Devices that offer even faster Wi-Fi. The touchscreen's sampling rate has been increased again to 720 Hz, but only absolute pro gamers will notice a difference in reactivity. The smartphone can be used very quickly in everyday use and scrolls very smoothly. Once again, the display is extremely fast with a refresh rate of 144 Hz. The storage configuration is exactly the same as in the predecessor, but there is a pleasant surprise: The price for the entry-level model with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of mass storage is 799 Euros cheaper than in the predecessor, the version with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of data storage still costs 999 Euros, and a charging station is included as an extra. Lenovo's Legion Phone Duel 2 offers a fairly conservative color palette with black and white, but it is otherwise anything but ordinary: Like the predecessor, the smartphone is clearly designed for use in landscape mode and is considerably thicker in the center, where the cameras are found, and the RGB module on the back, which lights up or flashes during notifications or in gaming mode and can be configured in numerous colors and effects. Gaming phones are not exactly known for their restrained design.
