Lenovo has showcased a prototype of its upcoming handheld gaming console, the Legion Go 2, at CES 2025. This successor to the original Legion Go retains much of the original's design but includes significant upgrades under the hood.
Key Upgrades
The Lenovo Legion Go 2 features several notable improvements:
- AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme Chip: Similar to its predecessor, the Legion Go 2 will use AMD's latest Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip.
- Faster RAM: Upgraded to 32GB of LPDDR5X-7500 RAM.
- Larger Storage: Boasts a 2TB storage capacity.
- OLED Screen: An 8.8-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) OLED screen with a 144Hz refresh rate, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support, and 500 nits peak brightness.
- 74 Wh battery with 65W charging support.
Performance and Display
The combination of faster memory and the RDNA 3-based Radeon 780M integrated GPU is expected to deliver a noticeable boost in performance. The new OLED screen offers a significant visual upgrade, promising a richer and more vibrant gaming experience, although the 144Hz refresh rate may impact battery life during extended gameplay.
Design
The design of the Legion Go 2 is similar to the original model, with detachable controllers. However, further details about the design will become clearer closer to the official launch.
Availability
The Lenovo Legion Go 2 is still in the prototype phase and will likely be released later this year. Stay tuned for official release dates and pricing information.
