This upcoming device is designed to be a smaller and more affordable alternative to the original Legion Go, which has received positive reviews since its launch in 2023.

Lenovo is set to unveil the Legion Go S, a new gaming handheld that has been informally dubbed the 'Legion Go Lite', following a firmware leak that confirmed its existence.

The expected price for the Legion Go S is around $400, making it a budget-friendly option compared to the original Legion Go, currently priced at $472.

AMD is expected to announce its Ryzen Z2 APUs for gaming handhelds at CES 2025, with Lenovo likely to follow up with the official announcement of the Legion Go S shortly thereafter.

Details about the Legion Go S were initially revealed through an accidental BIOS update on Lenovo's website, which has since been removed.

Despite initial rumors suggesting a smaller screen for the Legion Go S, recent leaks have clarified that it will maintain a similar display size to its predecessor.

For those interested in the original model, a review highlights its features, including a removable controller setup and a 1600p screen.

Additionally, there are ongoing rumors regarding a potential follow-up device, the Lenovo Legion Go 2, as AMD prepares to launch its Z2 chips.

The Legion Go S is anticipated to be equipped with a budget-friendly AMD Rembrandt APU, which utilizes older architecture compared to newer models.

Specifically, the Rembrandt APU will incorporate Zen 3+ and RDNA2 architectures, featuring eight CPU cores and a Radeon 680M GPU.

Unlike the pricier Legion Go, the Legion Go S will not feature detachable controllers, further emphasizing its position as a cost-effective choice for gamers.

While the Radeon 680M is based on RDNA 2 architecture, it does not offer the performance enhancements found in the newer RDNA 3 architecture.
