Earlier, a person who was certified as a Lenovo employee by the Maimai platform said that the mobile business of Lenovo's mobile brand Legion was shut down across the board. From the then China Cool Union to the current e-sports mobile phone business, Lenovo has again stopped its mobile phone business. According to the source, Lenovo will only keep Motorola's mobile business, which it acquired for $2,9 billion.
Subsequently, the Sina Technology site learned from Lenovo insiders that the number of layoffs was limited to less than 100, and they signed up for a two-month indemnity.
In fact, in addition to the Lenovo Legion mobile phone, the Black Shark brand, which is also focused on gaming and e-sports, has also encountered operational problems. Less than a year after its release, Black Shark 5, Black Shark 5 Pro and Black Shark 5 RS and other models have all been sold on the official website. The Black Shark 5 RS is the only one left on JD.com to buy.
