Lenovo has indicated an upcoming release of a new Legion Go gaming controller. This information was discovered on the company's official website. The upcoming device is expected to be relatively compact, featuring a 7-inch screen.
Enhanced Legion Go Lineup
The company's Legion Go handheld has already proven to be a solid alternative to mainstream options, such as ASUS’s ROG Ally X. Lenovo has revealed plans to expand the Legion Go lineup, hinting at a more compact model.
The newly updated description of the Legion Go handhelds now mentions that the devices will feature “a 7-inch or 8-inch display,” providing a compact yet immersive visual experience for gaming and multimedia content. This indicates that Lenovo is working on a “trimmed-down” version of the original model, which currently comes with an 8.8-inch display.
New Features and Specifications
Additionally, the description notes that the new device will include an HDMI port and a dual fan cooling system, features that are not present in the current model.
Although detailed specifications for the new Legion Go handheld are not yet available, it is anticipated that Lenovo will offer the new model as a configuration of the existing product. Thus, the processor and other internals may not see an upgrade.
The original Legion Go handheld is equipped with an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor with RDNA Graphics, paired with 16GB LPDDR5X RAM running at 7500Mhz. Storage options include up to 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD. The device also features a 2-cell 49.2WHr battery and an additional 900 mAh battery inside the controller.
Connectivity Options
For wired connectivity, the current Legion Go model includes a USB-C 4.0 port that supports DisplayPort 1.4 and Power Delivery 3.0. Wireless connectivity options include WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.1.
