The last Legion phone to come out on the market is Legion Y70, which was released in August 2022, packing a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, we have no heard of any news or rumours regarding the next Lenovo Legion gaming smartphone. Today, we finally know why there isn\u2019t any.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/lenovo-gaming-phone-3306942\/?fbclid=IwAR3LGpXBcGBn_lP64LIzELmtDTnviJlXBV6PVRA0VSz6hP6qAUQeQd_mqes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Android Authority<\/a>, an individual suspected of working for Lenovo made a statement on social media regarding the Legion phone business last week. The statement suggested that Lenovo had decided to cease operations entirely in the gaming phone sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Android Authority then contacted Lenovo to investigate this assertion further. Afterward, a representative from Lenovo verified to Android Authority that the company had indeed terminated its Legion phone business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lenovo spokesperson said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Lenovo is discontinuing its Android-based Legion mobile gaming phones as part of a wider business transformation and gaming portfolio consolidation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a leader in gaming devices and solutions, Lenovo is committed to advancing the gaming category across form factors, as well as focusing on where it can bring the most value to the global gaming community.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s uncertain whether Lenovo is shutting down its mobile gaming division forever or only temporarily. But there are no shortages of Android gaming phones on the market, with the latest one being ASUS ROG Phone 7, which is scheduled to be announced on 13 April 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Stay tuned for the new legend.
