The Lenovo Legion Go 2 was previewed each the mode backmost astatine CES 2025, astatine the aforesaid clip arsenic the AMD Z2 Extreme that volition powerfulness it. However, Lenovo is yet letting it escaped connected the satellite successful October 2025 – though we inactive don't cognize exactly when.

The caller handheld gaming PC volition beryllium disposable successful 2 antithetic configurations, 1 with the basal AMD Z2 APU, and 1 with the much almighty Z2 Extreme – which volition besides beryllium powering the Asus Xbox ROG Ally X. Lenovo has shared specs, with the institution pairing the Z2 Extreme with 'up to' 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. However, the $1,099 exemplary volition travel with the basal Z2 APU paired with the aforesaid 16GB of RAM that the archetypal Legion Go had.

But the astir eye-catching betterment this clip astir is the display. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 has a 1200p OLED display. That is simply a little solution than the archetypal Legion Go, but the upgrade to an OLED sheet should marque up for that a bit.

Thanks to the caller chipset, these handhelds should person a sizable bump successful gaming performance, but whether oregon not that'll beryllium worthy the terms summation is thing we'll person to hold and spot erstwhile we get it successful the laboratory for review.
