![]() They enable a gaming experience that I have only recently been exposed to thanks to the XReal glasses that go along with the ROG Ally. The Lenovo Legion Glasses are an interesting accessory to the Legion Go for a multitude of reasons. ![]() The capability of these ports also comes in handy when you consider that the Legion can pair with companion AR glasses, called Lenovo Legion Glasses. That said, I do think the headphone jack would make way more sense at the bottom of the device rather than the top, but the nice thing is that both Type-C ports are capable of USB 4.0, DisplayPort 1.4 and USB PD 3.0, so there’s no need to compromise on which port you use. Lenovo’s Legion Go feels like the most well-thought-out handheld that I’ve seen to date-one that truly exudes a premium aura for gaming. Lenovo also announced a pair of USB-C headphones to go along with the Legion Go, which it claims have RGB lighting and 7.1 surround sound. It also allows for a user-facing port, which-shockingly-other handhelds simply don’t have. Lenovo solved this simple problem by adding a second Type-C port on the bottom of the device, which makes docking way more natural. For those devices, if you use that port for charging, you can no longer use any accessories unless you have some sort of dongle or dock. ![]() ![]() The Legion Go also has its own two-cell 49.2-watt-hour battery, which is substantially larger than the 40-watt-hour battery in the ROG Ally.įor connectivity, the Lenovo Legion Go has two USB Type-C connectors, which is welcome when you consider that so many gaming handhelds have only a single Type-C port. These controllers are connected to the Legion Go with Bluetooth 5.2 and have their own 900 mAh batteries. One nice thing about the Legion Go is that it also has a kickstand, which enables the device to remain on a table while the gamer detaches the controllers and uses them at a distance. One of the most notable features of the Legion Go is its detachable controllers, which many people liken to the Nintendo Switch’s control scheme. That said, Lenovo’s system is configurable up to 1TB of storage, and some third-party SSD manufacturers such as Sabrent are offering 2TB M2 2242 drives as aftermarket upgrades for less than $200. Lenovo opted for a lower entry point on storage, with a 256 GB model, while ASUS starts at 512 GB of storage. However, it appears that Lenovo has gone for faster LPDDR5x RAM, which is clocked at 7,500 megatransfers per second (MT/s) compared to the ASUS device’s 6,400 MT/s. Like the ROG Ally, the Legion Go will come with 16GB of RAM. Note that Lenovo opted not only for a higher-resolution display, but also a higher refresh rate at 144 hertz-versus ASUS’s 120 hertz. The unit has 97% DCI-P3 color accuracy and 500-nit brightness, which makes it good for indoor usage and acceptable for outdoors. Lenovo has decided to go above and beyond with the Legion Go, offering it standard with a 2560 x 1600 IPS 144-hertz display. This is by far the largest of the gaming handhelds, which have mostly standardized around 7-inch 1080P displays. The Lenovo Legion Go has an 8.8-inch display with a 16:10 aspect ratio. Lenovo states that the Legion Go goes “up to” a Z1 Extreme, meaning that we could possibly seen differently priced models with the base-spec Z1 and the higher-end Z1 Extreme AMD SoC. This is especially true for the Ryzen Z1 Extreme model, which has an eight-core CPU and 12 RDNA 3 GPU compute units-considerably better than the six-core CPU and four RDNA 3 GPU compute units of the base-model Z1. Ryzen Z1 processors are simply the best-in-class for handheld gaming on Windows, to the point that there’s almost no comparison with competing devices like the Valve Steam Deck that are powered by other chips.
