The canceled Lenovo Legion Play prototypes are currently being sold in China. The Legion Play sports a 7-inch display and a Snapdragon 888 chipset. Other specifications of the Legion Play have also surfaced.
It would seem that the Lenovo Legion Play was close to its release before the company pulled the plug. The seemingly impressive gaming handheld was scheduled for launch during MWC 2021. However, it wasn’t released with no reason provided. The Legion Play provides cloud game streaming functionality.
Gaming handhelds have been on a positive trajectory in recent years. Several of these devices have AMD APUs and most also run on Windows. A tipster Taki Udon says that the prototype units of the Legion Play were being sold for as low as $160 in China. Some additional details from the prototypes include Android 11 OS from the box with a custom launcher and HDR10 support. It also has stereo front-facing speakers and a 7,000mAh battery.
One of the critical factors that could have affected the release of the Legion Play is the pricing. It is speculated that the Lenovo Legion Play could have been more expensive than the Logitech G Cloud. The G Cloud is currently priced at $300 but comes with a less powerful Snapdragon 720G. A possible reason for the cancellation of the Legion Play is the Steam Deck which is powered by the more powerful AMD APU.
The Lenovo Legion Play has a net weight of 436g and a display resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. There is no indication of the number of units of the Legion Play that was or is still being sold. It is also unclear whether the device will have software support for it to function.
