It has to be said that with the experience of making esports notebooks, Lenovo Savior knows the needs of players very well. Of course, these experiences also make it easy to do e-sports mobile phones. Let’s see how the Savior Y90 performs?
The central porthole retains a more refined look
From the outside, the Lenovo Savior Y90 gaming phone tells us that this is not a common smartphone, and this impression is mainly due to the design of its back.
Customizable lighting effects
The design of the center-mounted architecture that has continued for three generations has been retained, and the design of the rear center porthole is more beautiful, with the “Y” shaped rescuer logo breathing light in the middle, and the lens module and cooling fan are also distributed on the porthole.
The power button on the right side of the fuselage is placed in the middle position, and the heat vents are distributed on the left and right, and multiple heat vents on the side and back can be seen, and the air cooling effect of the Lenovo Savior Y90 gaming mobile phone is expected.
From the overall design, hardware configuration and functions, it can be seen that compared with ordinary gaming mobile phones, Lenovo Savior Y90 provides users with excellent experience from the aspects of vision, hearing, touch, humanization and feel for the purpose of e-sports, and it can be said that Lenovo Savior Y90 e-sports mobile phone is a more extreme gaming device.

In addition, after the phone is set up, the left and right shoulder buttons can be clicked, swiped, pressed and held to slide, and more operation mapping can be carried out through the pressure bar of the screen.
PC Grade Frost Edge M Cooling System Fully exerts the performance of Snapdragon 8
Earlier, we said that Lenovo Rescuer mobile phone will learn from the idea of rescuer computer when developing it, this time, Lenovo Rescuer Y90 gaming mobile phone brings a PC-grade frost blade M heat dissipation system, inheriting the savior family heat dissipation technology. This set of heat dissipation system is divided into active + passive, including passive heat dissipation such as graphene, liquid-cooled VC vapor chamber and third-generation ATA heat source mid-mounted architecture, and also has the active heat dissipation function represented by PC-grade double fin dual fans.
In terms of passive heat dissipation, the liquid-cooled VC vapor chamber area reaches 3520mm², and the passive total equivalent heat dissipation area is as high as 66849mm².
The previous generation of highly acclaimed cooling fans has also been enhanced this time with a dual-fin dual-fan design with a total of 32 PC-grade cooling fins. After the full fire power of the frost blade M heat dissipation system, it can bring 180.65 cubic centimeters of air intake per second, which is 300% higher than the previous generation, and the heat inside the fuselage can be quickly brought out, which has a significant cooling effect.
The two fans can be turned on intelligently according to the usage scenario, and will automatically turn on when the temperature of the phone is detected to be too high, of course, you can also turn it on manually in the game assistant.
In addition, the Lenovo Savior Y90 gaming mobile phone is also equipped with the industry’s largest number of 14 NTC intelligent temperature sensors, which are evenly distributed globally to achieve multi-zone precise control and multi-scene.
For more information about the heat dissipation part, we will show it in detail through the high-load game test later.
Extreme Performance Unleashing The new ROM+RAM architecture has strong performance
With excellent heat dissipation configuration, the performance is more expected, Lenovo Rescuer Y90 gaming mobile phone uses a new generation of Snapdragon 8 processor, from the end of last year to now there are many flagship phones and game mobile phones used, the specific parameters will not be repeated, memory, Lenovo Rescuer Y90 gaming mobile phone also adopts a similar approach to the rescuer PC idea – new ROM + RAM new architecture.
The RAM architecture of Lenovo Savior Y90 gaming mobile phone is LPDDR5+ virtual memory, virtual memory is a part of ROM conversion, the maximum support 4GB fusion, ROM architecture is UFS3.1 + SSD RAID 0 disk array, the maximum capacity is 640GB, which we verify through AndroBench.
Random read and write can reach a terrifying 2646MB/s and 1671MB/s, which shows that the new ROM+RAM architecture improvement is quite obvious.
AnTuTu’s comprehensive evaluation easily ran to 105W, and when running scores, the cooling fan can work directly, and there is no need to worry about the problem of overheating of the hand.
GeekBench 5 running score up to 1233 single-core, multi-core up to 3723, 3DMark-Wild Life test total score of more than 10,000 points, the average frame rate is as stable as an old dog – 60.5FPS, with these running scores, we still need to use the game for actual measurement.
First of all, “Honor of Kings”, after most mid-to-high-end machines can have a good smooth experience, this national-level mobile game has previously opened a higher load 120 frame mode, this time we choose “extremely high frame rate (120 frames) + ultra-high-definition resolution + HD total picture quality + anti-aliasing/water reflection” setting to experience the best picture quality of the current “Honor of Kings”.
The frame rate of the whole game is unsurprisingly stable at 120FPS, the frame rate curve is straightened, and the average frame rate is 119.9FPS, the whole picture is smooth and the control response is sensitive.
Then there is the “Chicken Eating” mobile game “Peace Elite”, FPS games give priority to the frame rate, and choose the “smooth picture quality + 90 frames + anti-aliasing” setting.
From entering the lobby, record the single-game island single-row frame rate as above, except for the small fluctuations of the loading part of the plane, the frame rate curve almost pulls out a pure straight line, the frame rate is stable at 90FPS, and the global average frame rate reaches 90.3FPS. Whether it is a fast running poison or an extreme gun, high fluency can bring a better gaming experience, with 2×2 shoulder button + dual control pressure control, Lenovo Savior Y90 gaming mobile phone is your “chicken eating” artifact.
Genshin also chose the highest extremely high preset +60 frame mode, which brought a high load to a large number of modeling and lighting changes in the moon port, but the frame rate of the Lenovo Savior Y90 gaming mobile still maintained a stable basic disk with an average frame rate of 58FPS.
Gaming experience: Gameplay optimization armed to the teeth
This time, the game assistant is richer than the previous generation, and the overall design is also better-looking, using the left and right side distribution display, a bit like the dashboard of today’s sports sports cars.
Through the rescuer assistant pulled down at the top, you can grasp the device information in real time, quickly open various convenient functions, further customize the settings for the super god shoulder button and screen pressure, and adjust the device performance preset mode and GPU settings in real time for the use scenario, etc., through the rescuer field + rescuer assistant set of combination punches to achieve the goal of “have fun and play well”. At the bottom, we can see the brightness adjustment button, the performance mode switch button, the volume adjustment button.
Once we enter the realm of the rescuer, we can see a horizontal interface that is completely different from the regular desktop and is completely built for gaming. The home page is the exclusive game entrance, and the games you play will be displayed in the form of shortcut cards, providing us with a convenient entrance.
If you want to customize your own domain or game experience, you can click the settings button below to personalize the Rescuer field.
At the top of the rescuer assistant, we can see real-time game frame rate information, temperature information, device battery information, and time.
At the bottom of the rescuer assistant, we can see the performance mode switch button, which allows us to quickly adjust the performance status of the device in different game scenarios, and currently provides three performance modes to choose from, namely: energy saving mode, balanced mode, and beast mode.
If we still want to make further adjustments to the performance status of the device after quickly switching performance modes, then we can click on the GPU settings located in the rescuer assistant to further set it in detail to meet our different requirements for picture quality, battery life and maximum frame rate.
In the Rescuer Assistant, after turning on “Presence Vibration”, playing scenes such as killing, driving, collision, and grenade explosion in “Peace Elite” is more immersive; At the same time, “QQ Speed” and “Honor of Kings” have also adapted to this function.
In addition, this new bypass charging is also very friendly for friends who play for a long time, after turning on, we can play while charging, which is not only more friendly to battery health, but also can control the heating and charging of the mobile phone.
Game mobile phone photography only with scanning code? Savior Y90 said no
