It has been greater than a yr since we noticed the debut of Lenovo’s Legion Go, the model’s reply to fashionable handhelds just like the Steam Deck or fellow Home windows-based ROG Ally. The Legion Go affords some fascinating specs to make it stand out from the gang, notably its bigger 8.8″ display screen measurement and 2560 x 1600 decision.
We’ve already heard a couple of rumors relating to new Legion Go fashions coming to the market. Most not too long ago, Lenovo itself could have unintentionally revealed two new fashions and the prospect of a ‘Lite’ mannequin is maybe essentially the most engaging proper now.
Three new Legion Go handhelds registered on EEC
In line with a new itemizing on the Eurasian Financial Fee (EEC), there may already be as much as three new fashions in Lenovo’s plans. Most apparently, an ‘S’ variant has been registered:
- Legion Go S 8ARP1
- Legion Go 8ASP2
- Legion Go 8AHP2
Whereas this doesn’t verify a lot in the best way of specs, a less expensive ‘Lite‘ mannequin is the most-rumored variant and could possibly be what Lenovo must compete with a few of the cheaper handhelds on the market, notably the Steam Deck – a feat which has been robust to this point. Varied rivals to Valve (within the handheld division) have been happening the route of refreshes and reiternations of their {hardware} and the Legion Go appears to heading in that route too, in an try and one-up Valve.
On the flip facet, Valve has opted to attend out for a ‘generational leap‘ quite than launch new variations on the Steam Deck. We argued that the Deck could possibly be left behind, and with Lenovo seemingly selecting up the tempo, this might change into extra of a actuality. ASUS’s ROG Ally X already units the benchmark for us with its huge 80WHrs battery and 24GB of RAM, displaying that even year-by-year generational enhancements could make a giant distinction.
Lenovo has but to substantiate something in the best way of specs for its upcoming handhelds, so we’ll have to attend and see how this story develops shifting ahead.
