Lenovo showcased a prototype of the Legion Go successor at CES earlier this year. According to a new rumor, the new handheld, likely to be called Legion Go 2, will make its official debut at the upcoming IFA Berlin, which starts on September 5.
Tipster Evan Blass has revealed details regarding Lenovo’s announcements at IFA Berlin. As per the marketing materials shared by the tipster, the second-gen Legion Go will be equipped with AMD’s Zen 5 and RDNA 3.5 architecture based Ryzen Z2 Extreme CPU.
AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme’s key strength is improved graphics, which is powered by the Radeon 890M GPU. The new handheld from Lenovo is, therefore, expected to offer improved graphics performance in games.
In terms of design, the handheld will largely look similar to the original Legion Go. It will come with an 8.8-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 144Hz and 1600p resolution. The handheld will also offer a new coating that is said to be fingerprint resistant.
Lenovo’s upcoming handheld will feature a fingerprint reader and improved rear button layout as well. It will offer detachable controllers similar to its predecessor.
The prototype that Lenovo showed at CES packed a 74Whr battery that supported 65W fast charging. It is expected to offer up to 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage. The Legion Go 2 will likely run Windows 11 Home out of the box.
