The Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 is certainly a powerful phone. Focused on games, the configuration of the product is quite chunky , with two USB-C ports, a pop-up camera and even cooling fans.
Due to the large number of components, some design solutions that were not widely used were necessary , such as placing the main parts in the middle of the phone and two batteries on the side.
The idea is a good one, however, it hasn’t passed the rigorous tests of the youtuber known as JerryRigEverithing , which is known for pushing devices to the maximum of their performance and durability. One of the tests is the bending of the device, which aims to see how much the device supports before breaking.
Most of them hold up a lot, with at most a latch in the glass or a few dents in the metals. However, the Legion Phone Duel 2 was not one of the ones that did better in this and ended up breaking quite easily when being flexed.

Interestingly, the device breaks right after the YouTuber says the phrase: “I’m not even remotely concerned about breaking”. After that, she does the same thing on the other side in order to illustrate how structurally fragile the device is.
A gamers problem?
Despite having broken in a reasonably easy way, this fragility is not exclusive to the Legion Phone Duel 2. One of its biggest competitors in the gamer smartphone segment , the ROG Phone 5 , from Asus, also didn’t pass this test, even not using it. the same design solutions chosen by Lenovo.
Something that the two models have in common is the battery partitioned in two, something that may have made the devices more fragile, which is something quite unwanted when it comes to a cell phone that costs more than R$ 6 thousand.
