đ Lenovo appears to be preparing to release a new Legion Go model
đ Dubbed the Lenovo Legion Go Lite, it will feature a smaller screen
đ„¶ The cooling system also sounds like it will be improved
đ€« The info was spotted on Lenovoâs website, but no announcement yet
Lenovo may announce a new version of its Legion Go handheld very soon, likely at the upcoming IFA 2024 conference. New information was spotted on the companyâs official website (thanks, Reddit) that hints at a cheaper, smaller model.
The new Lenovo Legion Go, which many have dubbed the Lenovo Legion Go Lite instead of Lenovo Legion Go 2, will feature a 7-inch display instead of the current 8.8-inch display, which strongly suggests a smaller model is due to be revealed.
The description on Lenovoâs website also says the Lenovo Legion Go Lite has an HDMI port onboard and will include a dual fan cooling system, features that arenât available on the current model.
The handheld has been rumored for a while, with Windows Central reporting that a Lenovo Legion Go Lite was coming back in May. It would follow the recent releases of the Asus ROG Ally X and the Steam Deck OLED, which improved the handheld consoles in several ways.
The Legion Go Lite will reportedly feature less RAM than the original Legion Go, so expect a slight reduction in performance.
If youâve been eyeing Lenovoâs handheld over the course of the last year, at this point it might be a good time to hold off until the company announces the new models of the Go, even if youâd prefer the one with a bigger display. That is, if you canât wait for Sonyâs rumored PSP 2 handheld in 2025.
