Lenovo Legion Y90 gaming smartphone is so powerful that it has cut-outs in the rear panel to increase air flow

Lenovo Legion Y90 Specifications have leaked thanks to an alleged 3C listing. For the uninitiated, 3C is China’s certification board for mobile phones. The leaked information suggests that the upcoming Lenovo Gaming smartphone will feature up to 68W fast charging capabilities, for reference, several thin and light laptops cap out at 65W. Lenovo also released a video some time ago revealing the updated design and features of the Legion Y90 gaming smartphones. Here’s a quick refresher.

Lenovo Legion Y90 Specs, Features, Launch Date In India

If you think Lenovo Legion Y90 looks cool, then the last-gen Lenovo Legion 2 Pro gaming smartphone was a pretty amazing gaming smartphone as well. It featured a Snapdragon 888 SoC, powerful specs, and a horizontally placed popup selfie camera so the user can show his face while streaming online. 

However, the new Lenovo Legion Y90 gaming smartphone ditches that design in favour of a conventional selfie camera placed near the top bezel. Lenovo had to do so in order to effectively cool the brand new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC powering the Legion Y90. At the rear, the smartphone features dual cameras and several air vents, both centrally located.  

As per China’s 3C Certification, the smartphone will support up to 68W fast charging and according to another leak the Lenovo Legion Y90 will have a Samsung E4 AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a 720 Hz sampling rate, one of the best in the business. 

Gamers can get their hands on the Lenovo Legion Y90 probably next month in February, probably after the Chinese Spring Festival. Lenovo’s last two gaming phones had a global launch so most probably the Legion Y90 could launch in a similar way.

Sony will continue manufacturing the PS4 due to current PS5 shortage

Getting a PS5 (review), even after a year of its release, has been incredibly difficult for some. Blame the pandemic, the current chip shortage crisis but it’s clear that snagging a PS5 is not going to be easy. To that end, it looks like Sony is going to continue producing PS4 to make up for the lack of its latest console. In a report on Bloomberg, sources state that Sony was looking at discontinuing assembly of the Ps4 sometime in 2021, but owing to the shortage of newer consoles, Sony is looking at bolstering its sales with more PlayStation 4s. The report goes on to state that about a million PS4 consoles will be manufactured to take off a bit of the load from the PS5’s production. 

Sony looking at manufacturing more PS4s in 2022

Most people have had a hard time finding PS5s since its launch last year. Even in 2022, it seems that there is going to be a shortage of newer consoles. In fact, we earlier reported that Sony reportedly lowered its internal production forecast from 16 million units to 15 million for 2021 and it does not look like that’s changing anytime soon. From what we’ve seen, there seems to be a number of games that are cross-generational with God of War: Ragnarok being the biggest of the lot. So, if players can’t get a hold of the PS5, picking up a PS4 Pro could be a good option if you’re looking to experience Sony’s exclusive games. 

Sony has made a number of improvements to the PS5 since launch such as enabling the built-in M.2 storage expansion option (which wasn’t available at launch) and making some much-needed tweaks to the UI. Sony has also made a hardware revision to the PS5 by reducing the size of the heatsink and also redesigning the screw that holds the stand in place. 

For Sony, 2022 looks to be quite an interesting year with games like Horizon: Forbidden West, God of War: Ragnarok and Sifu releasing soon.

Microsoft wanted an iPad so they built their own and launched it in India Here are its specs

Microsoft went Apple’s route and launched an ARM-based Windows tablet in India called the Surface Pro X, not to be confused with the Intel-powered Surface lineup it already sells. The new tablet has something different because similar to an Apple iPad, the Surface Pro X uses a custom-made SoC (System on Chip which contains the CPU, GPU) called SQ1 and SQ2. 

These are Qualcomm chips designed to run an ARM-based Windows 11 OS. For the uninitiated, ARM is an instruction set, which is essentially a command for CPU in machine language. The Windows platform traditionally uses the X86 instruction set usually found in Intel and AMD CPUs but the Surface Pro X with its SQ 1 ARM chip uses the ARM instruction set. “How different is the experience though” I hear the anxious PC audience asking but I can only tell you that once I get my hands on the tablet, until then here’s all you need to know about its specs and other important details.

Microsoft Surface Pro X Specs, Details, And Price In India

The Microsoft Surface Pro X is the thinnest and most versatile 13-inch Surface device on the market, that’s not me claiming it but Microsoft’s press release. It weighs in at just 774grams the tablet is packing in a custom-made 8-core ARM-based Microsoft SoC. I cannot predict its performance but right off the bat, it’s safe to say that the device’s battery life will be more than the Intel-powered version because of the change in the Instruction set. 

Furthermore, the Surface Pro X comes with a 5.0MP front-facing camera with 1080p video recording capabilities that automatically adjusts to lighting conditions. The camera software also has an AI that makes sure that the selfie camera follows your gaze. Microsoft also claims that a combination of dual far-field Studio Mics and optimized speakers deliver the best video calling experience, so I am making a mental note to test this feature thoroughly as I am writing this article. 

The Surface Pro X does look stunning though thanks to a high-resolution 13-inch PixelSense touchscreen which also has a built-in kickstand. The Surface Pro X also has a signature keyboard with dedicated storage and a charging flap for Slim Pen 2. In terms of I/O, the Surface Pro X has two USB Type-C ports and a dedicated magnetic Surflink featuring an extra USB Type-A. 

Remember that I mentioned that Windows traditionally runs on X86-based CPUs as well as it turns out so does most of its native apps like Microsoft Office, Teams, and third-party software like Photoshop and Lightroom. The Surface Pro X is ARM-based so such apps should not work as well but Microsoft is ensuring us that they do thanks to a high level of optimization. All these things and more will be put to test once we get the device and if you want to purchase the tablet right now then here are the available configurations.
