Lenovo’s next Legion ‘Y70’ gaming phone has major Motorola vibes

Lenovo has started teasing its new “Legion Y70” gaming phone, and it looks a lot like a Motorola device, which makes sense.

As noted by NotebookCheck and GSMArena, Lenovo has confirmed the return of its gaming phone efforts, with the Lenovo Legion Y70 launching sometime in May. It’s unclear how widely the device will be available, but it will very likely only be sold in China.

Meanwhile, the device was spotted in someone’s hands recently, showing what looks a lot like a Motorola device.

The new Legion phone has its signature branding along the back, but a camera module that looks just like most Motorola flagships in recent years. It’s like if a Motorola flagship and the Legion Tab were merged together which, yeah, makes a whole lot of sense. With Lenovo being Motorola’s parent company, it only makes sense for the two to draw from each other.
