What Does Lenovo Legion Go Have In Store

The new device comes equipped with an 8.8-inch WQXGA (2,560x1,600 pixels) IPS touchscreen display with 500nits peak brightness and a 144Hz refresh rate. The display is protected by the Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The company has powered the device with an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor with AMD Radeon graphics and 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM.

Zotac Zone Handheld Specs Revealed

The Zotac Zone will likely brush shoulders with the mainstream handhelds available in the market right now. The device falls short of the ROG Ally X on RAM capacity but can come with an improved AMOLED display that is sure to pique the interest of people who expected the same from ASUS and Lenovo.

Besides, the 48.5Wh battery is one of the smallest seen on handheld devices, with less than an hour and a half expected per charge, although it will depend on the game being played. Another feature that will grab people’s attention is the use of Windows 11, which, according to Phil Spencer, is a significant drawback for devices like the ROG Ally and Legion Go.

Valve’s Linux-based SteamOS also comes with its set of caveats, but it is still one of the simplest handheld operating systems to use.
