Lenovo is said to be working on a new gaming phone codenamed ‘Halo’, and the specs and image of the phone has surfaced, thanks to @evleaks. This is different from the the ‘Diablo’ model, which will be the successor to last year’s Legion Phone Duel 2, says the leaker.
The image shows the phone with a punch-hole screen, 50MP AI triple rear cameras, and Legion branding on the back, which should come with a matte finish.
