These controllers surpass the capabilities of the Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons and even feature RGB lighting around the power button. The Legion Go also boasts an impressive 8.8-inch Lenovo PureSight gaming touchscreen with a Quad HD Plus resolution and a refresh rate of up to 144Hz.Under the hood, the Legion Go is equipped with an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, an AMD RDNA graphics card, and 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, providing a high level of performance. Storage options go up to 1TB, with the possibility of expanding it by an additional 2TB using a micro-SD card. The device features a 49.2Wh battery with Super Rapid Charge technology that allows it to recharge up to 70% in just 30 minutes. Other notable features include a power bypass mode and a kickstand on the back.
The Legion Go will be launching on October 31 with a starting price of £699/€799. This places it at a higher price point than both the Steam Deck and the Asus ROG Ally. It remains to be seen if Lenovo will release the TrueStrike controllers as standalone accessories. Overall, the Legion Go is a promising entry into the handheld gaming market, offering impressive features and performance.
