Lenovo Legion Go 2 hands-on: Powerful upgrades but with an even higher price
Lenovo unveiled the Legion Go 2 gaming handheld at IFA 2025, boasting upgraded internals and a refined design. The device retains its 8.8-inch OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and detachable controllers. Internal improvements include an AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip option, up to 32GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage. A significantly larger 74Whr battery promises improved battery life. The Legion Space app is reported to be more polished, though performance testing was limited. The device maintains features like Hall Effect joysticks, a built-in touchpad, and dual USB 4 ports. However, the controller detachment mechanism remains clunky. The starting price of $1049 represents a substantial increase from its predecessor. Despite the higher price, the Legion Go 2 offers improved power and battery life, making it a compelling option for those seeking high-performance portable gaming.
