Lenovo is bringing its powerful Legion Go handheld gaming device to the country on June 27th, 2024. This marks Lenovo’s first foray into the Windows-based handheld gaming market, offering a compelling option for gamers on the go.
Impressive Specs Under the Hood
The Legion Go boasts an impressive 8.8-inch QHD+ display with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, perfect for enjoying your favorite games in stunning detail and buttery-smooth visuals. The display can also adapt to lower resolutions and a 60Hz refresh rate for better battery life when needed.
Powering the device is an AMD Z1 Extreme APU, which should deliver solid performance for a variety of games. This is further complemented by 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of NVMe M.2 SSD storage, ensuring fast loading times and multitasking capabilities. If you need even more storage, a UHS-II microSD card slot allows for an additional 2TB of expandable memory.
Designed for Gamers
The Legion Go isn’t just about raw power; it’s designed with gamers in mind. Lenovo’s Coldfront thermal technology featuring a quiet 79-blade fan ensures your device stays cool during intense gaming sessions. Additionally, you can customize various modes to fine-tune performance and thermals.
For precise control, the Legion Go comes equipped with hall effect joysticks, known for their accuracy and responsiveness. Detaching the TrueStrike controllers transforms the device into a more traditional gamepad, perfect for first-person shooter (FPS) games.
Seamless Connectivity and Long Playtime
Managing your games and settings is a breeze with Legion Space, a built-in software suite. Connectivity options are plentiful with dual USB Type-C ports, Wi-Fi 6E for high-speed wireless networking, Bluetooth 5.2 for connecting accessories, and a 49.2Wh battery that supports Super Rapid Charge for quick refueling during breaks.
Price and Availability
While official Indian pricing is yet to be revealed, globally the Legion Go starts at EUR 799 (roughly Rs. 72,258). Considering the ROG Ally launched in India for Rs. 69,990, we can expect the Legion Go to be priced competitively in that range.
With its powerful specs, versatile design, and gamer-centric features, the Lenovo Legion Go is poised to be a strong contender in the Indian handheld gaming market. Mark your calendars for June 27th to see what this exciting new device has to offer!
