Lenovo Halo leaks: One of the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus phones?

Lenovo isn’t known for its flagship phones, but it offered the Lenovo Legion Duel high-end gaming phone in 2020 and the Duel 2 last year. The company doesn’t seem to be stopping there, though.

Veteran leaker Evan Blass has now leaked a new flagship-level phone called the Lenovo Halo. Blass released apparent renders of the phone (see below) along with the specs, specifically stating that it shouldn’t be confused with the Duel 2 follow-up.

Perhaps the most notable claim is that the phone will feature the so-called SM8475 chipset, which features a 4nm design and an Adreno 730 GPU. We’re guessing it’s a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus or similar mid-year update. After all, the current chipset is a 4nm design and is said to have an Adreno 730 GPU (Qualcomm did not announce a specific model of the GPU this year). The SM8475 name also suggests that this is related to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (which has the SM8450 name).

Earlier rumors pointed to the chipset being made by TSMC rather than Samsung. TSMC is said to outperform Samsung in this regard, which translates to longer battery life, better cooling, and better sustained performance.

Other notable notable specs include a 6.67-inch 144Hz OLED screen (FHD+), 8/12/16GB LPDDR5 RAM, 128GB or 256GB UFS 3.1 storage, and a 5,000mAh battery with 68W wired charging. The Lenovo Halo is also expected to feature a triple rear camera system (50MP/13MP/2MP), a 16MP selfie camera and a design that is less than 8mm thick.

Blass added that the device is expected to arrive in the third quarter of 2022, in line with the mid-year refresh of Qualcomm’s flagship chips. The leaker doesn’t have any pricing information yet, so we might have to wait a while to hear anything official.
