Lenovo unveils Legion Go S handheld
The Legion Go S reduces the size and weight of its predecessor, coming in at 1.6 pounds compared to 1.9 pounds.
It features a solid, non-detachable design, detaching the detachable controllers and kickstand of the original model.
Its 8-inch 120Hz OLED panel, with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 and VRR support, is slightly smaller than the 8.8-inch 144Hz panel of the original Legion Go.
The device is available in two shades: white for the Windows 11 version and a dark purple-toned black for the SteamOS model.
Under the hood, the Legion Go S is powered by the AMD Ryzen Z2 Go chip and the Z1 Extreme APU, paired with up to 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD.
It includes a microSD card slot, two USB 4 ports, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
Lenovo retained premium features like Hall Effect analog sticks and added a pivot-style D-pad. A touchpad is also included for easier navigation, which could be useful with Windows 11 OS.
It boasts a 55.5Wh battery and a toggle for adjustable shoulder button tension for better customization.
The Windows 11 version benefits from an improved Legion Space app for game management and system tweaks.
The SteamOS variant offers a user experience akin to Valve’s Steam Deck, with added support for RGB lighting and a higher 30-watt TDP.
The Windows 11 Legion Go S, the top-end model launching later this month, starts at $730, while the more affordable SteamOS variant, available in May 2025, starts at $499.
Mid-tier variant with 16GB RAM and SteamOS is priced at $599.
