Lenovo launched the Legion Go Windows handheld gaming device towards the end of last year for around $700. It offered an 8.8″ 144Hz QHD display powered by the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor. Now the company is reported to be working on an iteration of the device. Lenovo’s Asia Pacific gaming category manager Clifford Chong mentioned in a recent interview that the next generation of Lenovo’s handheld gaming console is in the works.

Lenovo is spending significant resources to improve its gaming console

After Lenovo Innovate 24, the official informed that Lenovo is spending significant resources to improve the current Legion Go. Of course, it wasn’t quite as good as the Steam Deck which was launched a year earlier. “From day one to now, we’ve unlocked more experiences and are still working hard to bring the next wave of features to the product,” noted Clifford Chong.

Lenovo sees the potential of the handheld gaming console product category and is looking forward to launching the next generation of products with even richer functionality.

The other two major competitors of the company in the handheld gaming console market are ASUS and MSI. Both companies are known to be working on their iteration. ASUS will launch the ROG Ally 2 this year. There’s enough incentive for Lenovo to invest in R&D of its next-generation Windows handheld gaming console.

Speaking of the current generation Legion Go handheld console, it weighs 1.88lbs (852 grams). For reference, the ROG Ally weighs 1.34 lbs (608 grams). Lenovo’s first generation gaming console equips a 49Whr battery and runs on Windows 11. The 2560x x1600 screen goes up to 500 nits peak brightness and equips 97% DCI-P3 color gamut rating. As The Verge noted, it could also be considered as a tool for browsing, reading, and streaming videos.
