Handheld gaming just got a little more interesting—or downright intimidating—thanks to Lenovo’s latest additions to its Legion Go lineup, revealed at CES 2025. Building on the foundation of 2023’s Lenovo Legion Go, this new lineup doesn’t just aim to keep up with the competition—it’s here to steal their lunch, eat it on a high-refresh-rate screen, and then ask for seconds.
Lenovo Legion Go S (8”, 1)
The Lenovo Legion Go S (8”, 1) might just be the ultimate on-the-go gaming device. Featuring an 8-inch WUXGA PureSight touch display with a buttery-smooth 120Hz refresh rate, it’s powered by your choice of AMD Ryzen™ Z2 Go or Z1 Extreme processors. Whether you’re into PC games or dabbling in emulators, this pocket-sized powerhouse, weighing just 1.61 lbs. (730g), ensures you won’t break a sweat unless your game does.
Wi-Fi 6e support, dual USB 4 ports, and a microSD card slot round out its impressive connectivity, while up to 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a 55.5Whr battery guarantee this device doesn’t just look the part—it plays it too.
Lenovo Legion Go S (8”, 1) Powered SteamOS
For gamers who want the console experience without being tethered to one, the SteamOS-powered version of the Lenovo Legion Go S brings Valve’s beloved gaming ecosystem to the party. With features like Remote Play, full Steam Library access, and cloud saves, this handheld is a ticket to gaming nirvana. Whether you’re binge-playing indies or taking AAA titles for a spin, the SteamOS edition has your back, and probably your next 100 hours of gaming.
Lenovo Legion Go (8.8”, 2): Prototype
Remember the 2023 Lenovo Legion Go? Well, its bigger sibling—the Lenovo Legion Go (8.8”, 2)—has arrived in prototype form, flexing a native landscape OLED display that pushes 144Hz of pure joy at 500 nits of brightness. Packing up to 2TB of SSD storage and a monstrous 74Whr battery, it’s ready to take on the next gaming marathon, wherever it may be.
Under the hood, Lenovo equips this prototype with the AMD Ryzen™ Z2 Extreme processor, RDNA™ 3.5 graphics, and up to 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM. With improved TrueStrike controllers, a sleek design, and circular D-pads for surgical precision, this device doesn’t just raise the bar—it tosses it into orbit.
Pricing and Availability
Lenovo’s handheld revolution is shaping up to be an all-you-can-play buffet, but keep your wallet ready: premium performance rarely comes cheap… wait, you know what? It is actually more affordable than the Legion Go. The Lenovo Legion Go S (8”, 1) starts at US$729.99 when it becomes available this month.
And that’s for this current known configuration. Additional configurations are expected to be available starting May 2025 with a starting price of US$599.99. The starting price goes even lower, at just US$499.99, if you are gunning for the SteamOS model. Obviously, the next-gen Legion Go, which is a prototype now, has no associated sticker.
