For the past few weeks, leaks have been emerging that have been disappointing fans of the Lenovo Legion gaming phone. According to reports, the company was planning to disband this department and put the series on hold indefinitely because it didn’t get the expected returns. This was confirmed with the announcement made today.
End of the road for Lenovo Legion gaming phones!
Last weekend, a person (claiming to work at Lenovo) said that the company would permanently shut down the department called the gaming phone department. He even claimed that the model expected to be introduced in the near future was canceled and the project was send to trash.
Following these allegations, tech media asked Lenovo whether they would make a statement about the issue. Lenovo did not respond to the questions initially posed. But they confirmed today that they had indeed terminated the Legion phone business.
Currently, there are not many brands that focus on producing gaming phones. With the suspension of the Lenovo Legion series, only a few names remain. Even Xiaomi’s Black Shark series may face a similar fate. According to recent news, Xiaomi has also laid off hundreds of employees from this department.
Of course, it is too early to say which direction the industry will take. Models that are unexpectedly well-liked and popular, such as Asus’ ROG Phone, still exist in the market. In fact, the ROG Phone 7 will be introduced on April 13th.
