Leaked Lenovo Legion Go Combines Features of Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch
According to a leak from Windows Report, Lenovo is rumored to be preparing the launch of a gaming handheld device called the Legion Go. This device aims to compete with Windows models such as the Steam Deck and ASUS ROG Ally. Similar to the Nintendo Switch, the Legion Go will have removable controls. It is expected to run on Windows 11 and be equipped with AMD’s new Phoenix processors. Additionally, the Legion Go will come with features like a kickstand, microSD slot, and two USB-C ports.
No specs were leaked, but the Legion Go shows back, shoulder, and side triggers, as well as a wheel hidden under the top right trigger. It also has a headphone jack, volume buttons and a large cooling vent at the back. Thanks to detachable controls (and a particularly touch-friendly Windows 11 operating system), the screen (said to be 8 inches) is likely to be touch-sensitive as well.
An earlier rumor had it that Lenovo built a prototype gaming handheld called the Legion Play, which it never released. Still, it makes sense for a PC-oriented company to offer a handheld Windows gaming device, and the detachable Switch-style controllers help set Legion Go apart from the competition. Along with the aforementioned competition, it goes up against many of Ayaneo’s handhelds, including its latest model, the 2S.
