Lenovo confirms that its line of mobile gaming phones has been discontinued

Lenovo continues to streamline its business, the latest being its Legion smartphone business, which launched a range of gaming phones. Lenovo has confirmed that it will no longer carry Legion phones as the division has been shut down.

“”Lenovo is discontinuing sales of its Android-based Legion gaming phones as part of a broader business transformation and consolidation of its gaming portfolio,” Lenovo shared this update via Android Authority in this report.

The Legion series was supposed to be Lenovo’s challenger to the Asus ROG Phone models, but it seems that the company has invested enough time and resources to make the decision to end its journey in this segment.

Lenovo still has the Legion series in the laptop segment, but it seems the company was never quite sure it could make it work in the smartphone arena. The first Legion phone was launched in 2020 and since then we have seen the company launch several variants in the range, but it has limited its availability and never launched it in the Indian market for some reason.

Lenovo was one of the many brands to diversify with their gaming phones, but with standard flagship phones now just as powerful, it seems that brands have decided to focus on individual models rather than flooding their lineups and markets with different products with similar aspirations. Black Shark is another gaming phone brand that seems to be struggling in the segment and is reportedly laying off people due to the company’s declining sales. Xiaomi is another brand that has shifted its focus to be able to manufacture the required number of units to meet demand.

Currently, only the Asus ROG Phone has received annual updates, and the company is ready to release the ROG Phone 7 in several countries early next month.
