Lenovo has announced its "Lenovo Legion x AMD: The Future of Gaming Handhelds" event, scheduled for January 7th, where it will unveil its next-generation gaming handhelds. While leaks have already revealed details about these devices, the event confirms some exciting aspects, including a strong hint at a SteamOS version.
SteamOS Involvement
The presence of Pierre-Loup Griffais, Valve's SteamOS and Steam Deck co-designer, at the event strongly suggests that at least one of Lenovo's new handhelds will feature SteamOS. This is further supported by leaks showing a SteamOS button on the rumored Legion Go S model.
This would align with Valve's recent updated guidelines for third-party hardware makers interested in using SteamOS, potentially positioning the Legion Go as one of the first such systems.
Leaked Specifications
Based on the latest rumors, Lenovo might be launching three different systems, with two models - the Lenovo Legion Go 2 and Lenovo Legion Go S - strongly suggested. The table below summarizes the leaked specifications of these models as well as their previous iteration, Lenovo Legion Go, for reference:
This upcoming event is certainly one to watch for gaming handheld enthusiasts.
