Lenovo’s next-generation Lenovo Legion Y70 phone has shown up on Geekbench again, and the new benchmark entry suggests the device is shaping up as another high-performance gaming-focused handset.

According to NotebookCheck, the model listed as XT2611-1 posted a single-core score of 2950 and a multi-core score of 9796 in Geekbench 6.7.1. That’s a noticeable jump from an earlier appearance reported on May 10, when the same device scored 2615 in single-core and 6681 in multi-core testing.

Benchmark data indicates the phone is using Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and pairs it with 16GB of RAM. While benchmark runs don’t tell the whole story, the improved numbers do suggest Lenovo may still be tuning performance ahead of launch.

Lenovo has already teased some of the broader hardware direction. The new Legion phone is expected to use the brand’s family design language, with a fine-textured glass back and an aerospace-grade aluminum frame. The company is also positioning the handset around gaming ergonomics, including a camera module layout that is meant to avoid interfering with grip.

Display and battery details make the phone sound especially ambitious for a gaming model. Lenovo says it will feature a 2K gaming display, and the company claims its power draw is lower than competing 1.5K panels. The phone is also expected to carry an 8000mAh battery rated for up to 1200 charge cycles while retaining at least 80 percent health over seven years.

Cooling is another major talking point. Lenovo says the device uses an industry-first combination of gel, liquid metal, and VC cooling, which is meant to improve thermal efficiency during sustained heavy workloads. If those claims hold up in real-world testing, the next Lenovo Legion Y70 could end up being one of the more interesting gaming-phone launches in this cycle.
