STEAM DECK NEWS – Although the Chinese company hasn’t officially revealed what a (!) next-generation Lenovo Legion Go will look like, we have a semi-official source that tells us.

The images below come from Windows Central. The site describes the images as official, “confirmed and shared by their amazing and awesome sources,” and it really does look like it came from Lenovo. The earlier images of the console shell, which were not exactly official, have now been confirmed, and it looks like Lenovo will follow the example of the Asus ROG Ally and release the handheld PC in white.

There are a few changes, though: the controls are non-detachable (so they don’t follow the style of the Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Cons), the menu and view buttons have been moved to the top right corner, there’s a small nub instead of a touchpad, there’s a rear trigger on each side, both USB Type-C ports are on the top, we get front-facing speakers, and there’s no rear stand. It will be more comfortable to hold, and it seems that Lenovo isn’t trying to imitate the Nintendo Switch this time. But this is what makes the handheld different from, say, the Steam Deck…

So you have to draw attention to the device in a different way. Judging by the name (S), this model is probably trying to appeal to the audience with the cheaper price range, but with the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally also available at surprisingly low prices right now, that won’t be an easy task. The hardware is based on a Rembrandt-based AMD APU. That’s two generations old, but we’ve heard that Lenovo’s next-generation Legion Go trio will draw from AMD Z2 hardware, so there will be what’s called a Hawk Point-based (previous generation, and the current Lenovo PC uses it) and a Strix Point-based (the latest technology).

The only question now is how much they will charge for the device.
