Lenovo Legion Go 2 debuts with detachable controllers and VRR screen

Powered by AMD’s Ryzen Z2 and Z2 Extreme processors, the handheld may not deliver a huge leap in CPU performance compared to the previous generation. AMD itself notes that the Z2 is on par with the Z1E with better software optimisation, though early tests suggest the Z2E may offer slight gains.

Storage and memory options have also been upgraded. In North America, 1TB is now the baseline, with high-end models offering up to 2TB. Most variants ship with 32GB RAM, except the entry-level configuration. The power button now doubles as a fingerprint scanner, a feature increasingly common in Windows handhelds.

The redesigned controllers, compatible with the original Legion Go, now sport a true pivot-point D-pad, Hall effect joysticks, and an improved mouse skate attachment that locks in place during FPS gameplay.

Pricing starts at $1,099.99 (Rs 97,098, approximately) for the AMD Z2 model with 16GB RAM and 1TB storage. Other configurations include:

$1,199.99 (Rs 1,05,925, approximately) for 32GB RAM/1TB storage

$1,349.99 (Rs 1,19,166, approximately) for the Z2 Extreme with 32GB RAM/1TB storage

$1,479.99 (Rs 1,30,642, approximately) for the Z2 Extreme with 32GB RAM/2TB storage

For budget-conscious gamers, Lenovo is also offering the Legion Go S, priced at $830 (Rs 73,266, approximately), running SteamOS.
