Lenovo launched its last Legion Y series gaming smartphone back in August 2022. Now, the tech firm has announced that it is coming back to the niche segment with its new Lenovo Legion Y70 (2026). The handset is confirmed to be launched in China next month. The phone will reportedly compete with the Red Magic 11 Pro lineup, which was unveiled by the smartphone maker in select global markets in November last year. The announcement comes soon after a Legion phone was spotted in a leaked real life image, which is said to be the upcoming Lenovo Legion Y70 (2026). The handset is expected to feature a triple rear camera unit.

In a post on Weibo, the company confirmed on Monday that it will launch the “next-generation” (translated from Chinese) Lenovo Legion Y70 model in May, which is just a couple of weeks away. However, other details about the upcoming gaming smartphone, including its design, exact launch date, key specifications, features, and pricing, remain under wraps. The company is making a comeback to the segment after nearly four years. Its last gaming handset, the Lenovo Legion Y70, was unveiled in August 2022.

Meanwhile, a Legion phone was spotted in a leaked hands-on image, revealing its design. Reports suggest that the image belongs to the upcoming Lenovo Legion Y70 (2026). The phone appeared with a triple rear camera unit and an LED flash, housed inside a square-shaped rear camera island. The vertically aligned Legion branding appeared on the phone's black rear panel. It might sport a flat panel, while featuring a power button and volume controls on the left side.
