Lenovo Legion Go Leak Shows a Steam Deck/Switch Hybrid
Following the recent rumor of an upcoming Lenovo Legion Go PC handheld device, Windows Report published the first leaked images before the official announcement.
The pictures show a sort of hybrid between the two most popular handhelds: the Nintendo Switch and the Steam Deck. There is a trackpad like the Steam Deck (but only on the right side), and yet the controllers can be detached, just like Nintendo's JoyCons. One leaked image also shows a stand that could be used to play in 'tabletop mode', again like the Nintendo Switch.
According to Windows Report, the Lenovo Legion Go will run Windows 11 and be powered by the Phoenix AMD APU, likely the Ryzen 7 7840U just like the ASUS ROG Ally and the latest devices by AOKZOE, AYANEO, and GPD Win. The screen is supposed to be larger than nearly all of these devices (except the AOKZOE A1 PRO) at 8 inches. Windows Report speculates that it might be touch screen compatible, too.
Interestingly, the device appears to include not only the shoulder buttons and side triggers but also back triggers. The real surprise is the apparent addition of a wheel on the back of the right 'JoyCon'. Two USB-C ports, a microphone jack, and a microSD slot are also visible in the pictures.
The report doesn't include any information on the battery. However, the Lenovo Legion Go looks thicker than most PC handhelds, which might be due to a larger internal battery.
This isn't the first time Lenovo has dabbled in this product category. Two years ago, images of the Legion Play leaked online alongside the following technical details:
The Legion Play never made it to the market. Here's hoping the Lenovo Legion Go does launch at some point, providing even more competition in the thriving PC handheld segment.
