The popularity of handheld gaming has never been higher, with a wealth of options for cutting-edge, portable consoles for all types of gaming. Beating the upcoming Switch 2 to launch is the new Lenovo Legion Go S, a high-end portable gaming device with console-level performance capabilities.

Boasting AMD’s exclusive Z2 Go processor and Zen 3 architecture, the Lenovo Legion Go S fits very much in the tradition of the hugely popular Steam Deck. Under the hood, gamers can enjoy top-of-the-range AAA games thanks to its powerful processor, which is powered by four CPU cores and eight threads.

With its slick, high-resolution screen delivering outstanding visuals for 1200p gaming, powered by AMD Radeon graphics paired with a robust AMD RDNA 2 architecture. Performance is further enhanced by the 120Hz refresh rate, which is critical for fast-paced first-person shooter action and other popular game genres.

The Lenovo Legion Go S’s 8″ PureSight display offers industry-leading performance that is matched by the analog sticks and buttons for control. Two RGB-illuminated sticks and buttons, along with a D-pad and shoulder buttons, cover all bases. Their adaptive precision design, combined with the console’s overall ergonomics, makes it suitable for games that require effortless, fluid, and responsive control.

Pick up a Lenovo Legion Go S handheld console and there’s no shortage of excellent games to get started on, with a three-month free Xbox PC Game Pass included. It’s a compelling alternative to the Switch 2 and Steam Deck for gamers seeking a portable console with a vast selection of games to explore.
