Lenovo Legion Go S handheld device appearance exposed, changed to a people-friendly and simple design

Lenovo, a major notebook and PC manufacturer, launched the Legion Go handheld machine with a very topical appearance in September 2023. It has a huge 8.8-inch screen and a detachable handle. The right handle can also be used upright on the table as a joystick. . After more than a year, foreign media exposed the new Legion Go S model, but it is not an enhanced version, but a conventional basic design.

Foreign media Windows Central has obtained three views of the suspected Lenovo Legion Go S handheld machine. Compared with the existing Legion Go, the color scheme has been changed from black to white, and the overall lines have also changed from sharp to rounded. At the same time, judging from the absence of cutting lines on the analog joysticks and button areas on both sides of the screen, the detachable controller design has obviously been removed.

In terms of button layout, the Legio Go S left and right analog sticks are arranged one high and one low, similar to the Xbox control, and support RGB lighting effects. In addition, there is a physical button below the right analog stick, but there is no function mark on it. , it is not yet sure whether it has exclusive functions or is used for customizing buttons.

Flip to the back, and there are two sets of shortcut keys on the back. There is also a silver lever above these two sets of keys. It is speculated that it is used to adjust the depth of the LT and RT trigger keys, allowing players to choose faster triggering or More solid press feedback.

The top part is equipped with 2 sets of USB-C ports and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Since the content of this exposure does not include the bottom, it is impossible to determine whether the Legion Go S supports Micro SD memory card expansion.

Finally, regarding the selected processor, there are currently many rumors. It may be replaced with AMD’s new generation Ryzen Z2 APU, but it may not be the Z2 Extreme based on the Zen 5 architecture, but the “vest” Z2G. The processor architecture only comes As of Zen 3+, the GPU architecture is only RDNA 2, resulting in performance that is even lower than the current Z1 Extreme.

Of course, the advantage of using an entry-level processor is that the price can be more affordable. Compared with the original selling prices of Windows handheld consoles from major brands such as ROG Ally and MSI Claw, which have exceeded NT$20,000, it is rumored that the estimated selling price of Legion Go S will fall below US$ 499 – 599, equivalent to approximately NT$16,000 – 19,400.
