Lenovo released the Lenovo Legion Go portable gaming console last year. The device is equipped with an AMD Ryzen Z1 series processor based on Zen 4 architecture and offers impressive specifications: an 8.8-inch screen with a resolution of 2560 × 1600 pixels, a refresh rate of 144 Hz, 16 GB of RAM and removable gamepads.
It is now clear that Lenovo is preparing to release a new portable console. Initially, it was assumed that the new product would be equipped with a processor from the expected Ryzen Z2 series based on Zen 5 architecture. However, recent rumors indicate that the Lenovo Legion Go S will receive a Ryzen Z2 processor, but it will belong to the Rembrandt series with Zen 3+ cores. In other words, it will be a less powerful processor compared to the Ryzen Z1 Extreme (used in the original Legion Go and Asus ROG Ally X) and its more modern Zen 4 cores.
At the same time, the Legion Go S console itself will be a simplified version of the original Legion Go. Renders of the new product confirm the absence of removable gamepads, and also hint at a more compact display.
In images of the Legion Go S provided by Windows Central, you can see the presence of 18 buttons, including the standard ABXY buttons on the right, two analog sticks with RGB backlighting, a D-pad, and a TrackPoint joystick similar to that used in Lenovo laptops. In addition, the console is equipped with two front-facing speakers, ventilation grilles on the back, and two USB-C ports, both of which are located on the top edge of the device.
Original Legion Go
The new leak also suggests that the Legion Go S will be priced between $399 and $449. Thus, it will be significantly cheaper than the original Legion Go, which at the start of sales was estimated at $699 or €799.
