Unseen from the outside are two tiny fans that help with thermal management. This goes above and beyond the typical passive cooling that most smartphones have today, utilizing things like thermal pastes, copper vapor cooling chambers, and similar technologies.<\/p>\n<p>While the Lenovo Legion Y90 is definitely interesting from a design perspective because of its novelty, it leaves the door open to one element of uncertainty. Last year, YouTuber Zack Nelson of JerryRigEverything <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Jz_vxrm8rjM\">easily snapped<\/a> the Lenovo Legion Duel 2 into three parts when doing his usual bend test.

design was indeed bold and novel in how it kept its core audience in mind when making the phone, almost from the ground up. That design, however, also created structural compromises, especially on the phone\u2019s back. While few people will probably be strong enough to bend a phone that way, it still leaves the possibility of one ugly accident heralding the end of what is supposed to be a very powerful phone.<\/p>\n<p>To be fair, the Legion Y90 this year has a slightly different design from last year\u2019s model, which visually had three parts anyway. That said, the camera bump still leaves a large gaping hole, which in turn could still weaken the entire surface of the phone\u2019s back. That\u2019s not even considering how the phone might be less durable in some other ways, like in dust and waterproofing. Those mini fans invite dust and water to wreak havoc and destroy your phone from the inside. Hopefully, that will not be the case, but we won\u2019t know for certain until the phone actually becomes available.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-366800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/03\/lenovo-legion-y90-gaming-phone-design-leaves-a-durability-question-unanswered\/Nokia-NGage-LL.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/03\/07\/lenovo-legion-y90-gaming-phone-design-leaves-a-durability-question-unanswered\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Lenovo Legion Y90 gaming phone design leaves a durability question unanswered\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/03\/lenovo-legion-y90-gaming-phone-design-leaves-a-durability-question-unanswered\/Nokia-NGage-LL.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-366800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/03\/lenovo-legion-y90-gaming-phone-design-leaves-a-durability-question-unanswered\/Nokia-NGage-LL.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/03\/07\/lenovo-legion-y90-gaming-phone-design-leaves-a-durability-question-unanswered\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Lenovo Legion Y90 gaming phone design leaves a durability question unanswered\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/03\/lenovo-legion-y90-gaming-phone-design-leaves-a-durability-question-unanswered\/Nokia-NGage-LL.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The Lenovo Legion Y90 is admittedly an eye-catching phone, at least from its back. Some of us might even reminisce about oddities like the Nokia 5510 or, closer to the theme, the Nokia N-Gage, both of which were designed to be held more like gaming devices than typical phones. On the one hand, it\u2019s proof of how smartphone design doesn\u2019t have to settle for the status quo, especially when targeting specific audiences. On the other hand, it is also proof of how change for the sake of change could be a recipe for disaster.<\/p>\n<p>Lenovo isn\u2019t the only brand making gaming-centric smartphones today, but it is definitely the only one embracing this handheld-centric design. Others, like ASUS ROG (Republic of Gamers), nubia Red Magic, and Xiaomi Black Shark, have features like internal fans and RGB lighting but still stick to the standard phone format and, therefore, benefit from tried and tested designs. In that light, it definitely feels like the Lenovo Legion gaming phones\u2019 unique designs are designed just to be noticed, even if that means compromising the longevity of the device in the long run.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-366802\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/03\/lenovo-legion-y90-gaming-phone-design-leaves-a-durability-question-unanswered\/lenovo-legion-y90-gaming-phone-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/03\/07\/lenovo-legion-y90-gaming-phone-design-leaves-a-durability-question-unanswered\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Lenovo Legion Y90 gaming phone design leaves a durability question unanswered\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/03\/lenovo-legion-y90-gaming-phone-design-leaves-a-durability-question-unanswered\/lenovo-legion-y90-gaming-phone-6.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-366802\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/03\/lenovo-legion-y90-gaming-phone-design-leaves-a-durability-question-unanswered\/lenovo-legion-y90-gaming-phone-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/03\/07\/lenovo-legion-y90-gaming-phone-design-leaves-a-durability-question-unanswered\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Lenovo Legion Y90 gaming phone design leaves a durability question unanswered\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/03\/lenovo-legion-y90-gaming-phone-design-leaves-a-durability-question-unanswered\/lenovo-legion-y90-gaming-phone-6.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"swp-content-locator\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5' style=\" margin: clear: both>\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"9466393889\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"vcard author\"><br \/>\n<span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>JC Torres<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
