Lenovo Unveils New Handheld Gaming Device, Legion Go, at Separate Event
Lenovo has confirmed almost all of the leaked information about its new handheld gaming device, Legion Go. The device, which draws inspiration from existing devices and consoles, was initially expected to be showcased at the IFA trade show. However, Lenovo decided to hold its own event outside of the exhibition center.
The Legion Go features a design similar to the Steam Deck, complete with a touchpad. Its control layout is reminiscent of the Asus Rog Ally, while its detachable controllers are similar to those of the Nintendo Switch. Like the Switch, the Legion Go can be played in tabletop mode, thanks to a flip-out stand at the back. Users can hold the TrueStrike controllers while playing, providing a comfortable gaming experience.
The Czech pricing for the Legion Go will start at 18,999 CZK, which is 500 CZK less than the available Rog Ally model. However, it is still a few thousand CZK more expensive than the Steam Deck.
One potential drawback of the Legion Go is its battery life, although it can be charged up to 70% capacity in just half an hour. The device’s functionality will also depend on the Legion Space overlay, which consolidates installed games, quick access to stores, and other platforms. Users can also adjust settings such as resolution, brightness, and refresh rate through the overlay.
One interesting feature of the Legion Go is the ability to transform the right TrueStrike controller into an improvised mouse. Users can simply insert the controller into the provided accessory. The practicality of this feature will be determined through testing.
Lenovo also unveiled additional accessories, including the Legion Glasses with micro OLED displays for each eye, offering a resolution of 1920 x 1080. These glasses will be available in December for 11,999 CZK. The Legion E510 7.1 RGB Gaming in-ear headphones will also be released at the same time for 1,199 CZK.
