We've heard talk of new Lenovo Legion Go handhelds for a few months, but until now we'd had nothing official—just the odd rumour or unofficial picture of what looked like a new white chassis. Now, however, we have what looks like official pictures of a new Legion Go S, and we can tell quite a lot from them.

In fact, Lenovo may be launching two gaming handhelds very soon. The successor to its popular Legion Go flagship, and a smaller, more affordable handheld we now know is called the Legion Go S (previously called the Legion Go Lite).

The Legion Go S leak shows it will come in a white colorway with non-removable grips and triggers that resemble the first Asus ROG Ally. The current Legion Go model has removable controller grips, like the Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Con controllers.

The Lenovo Legion Go has a huge 8.8-inch display, runs Windows, and includes detachable controllers like the Nintendo Switch.

When Valve released the Steam Deck, PC manufacturers realized there could be a new market for small, handheld computers that are capable of running games.

Lenovo is reportedly working on the Legion Go S, a toned-down version of the Legion Go, its latest handheld gaming PC.

The more affordable Legion Go "S" is expected to be less powerful than the Legion Go based on the Z1 Extreme, but will be a more affordable option potentially for those looking to jump into the ecosystem.

Rendered images showing off the 8-inch Lenovo Legion Go S, a budget-friendly alternative to other handheld gaming PCs, just leaked.

While it’s tempting to think that means the Legion Go S will be a step backward, keep in mind that Valve’s Steam Deck continues to be one of the most popular handheld gaming PCs several years after launch, and it has a AMD “Aerith” and “Sepiroth” chips featuring Zen 2 CPUs and RNDA 2 graphics.
