- Lenovos Legion Go 2 has been revealed packing of an OLED screen
- This display has a 144Hz update frequency with VRR -Support but falls down on the solution compared to the original
- Legion Go -The Subject has a Significant Beef Battery Also
Lenovo has detached his second Gen-Legion GO game handheld at his Innovation World 2025 event among all IFA 2025 revelations.
The Legion Go 2 looks very much the same as the original Windows 11-powered laptop and holds the 8.8-inch screen, but it has been upgraded to an OLED panel. As it was jerked that it falls down from the current 1600p to 1200p (known as Wuxga, 1920 x 1200).
The new screen has a 144Hz update rate with VRR (variable update frequency) support for smoother games, and it has HDR TrueBlack 1000 certification, so it has to deliver shocky and vibrant colors with deep blacks (as you would expect with an OLED).
Under the bonnet we have the AMD Ryzen Z2 processor – or Ryzen Z2 Extreme for more grunting – and the handheld can be configured with up to 32 GB system RAM (at 8000MHz).
For storage, the Legion Go 2 can be equipped with up to a 2TB PCIE 4.0 SSD, and a MicroSD slot allows you to expand up to another 2 TB space.
Lenovo has also given the battery an upgrade, so it is now a 74WHR insert, up from 49WHR on the original Legion Go, which is a 50% lift in the capacity.
As noticed, the design remains pretty much the same, but there are some fresh twists, like a fingerprint reader in the Power / Turn off button for fast biometric logins.
Furthermore, Legion Truestrike has been fine -tuned to give what Lenovo describes as “several ergonomic lines, a smoother feeling and a smarter button layout” – there are three programmable buttons that can be adapted to your taste.
The new Truestrike controllers are backward compatible with the previous device, so if you want to use them with a first-general Legion Go, you can do just that.
Lenovo did not yet provide any price information (and there has been some worrying scrap from the back mill on that front).
Analysis: More stans in your laptop – and more battery life
All in all, there is some punchy new hardware here and that the OLED screen will undoubtedly ramp the quality of the portable gaming experience offered – powered by the beef AMD CPU.
Some people may be disappointed that Lenovo has dropped the resolution on the screen and I come where they come from – but I guess the display will not disappoint.
Also, remember that especially with handheld, image speeds and battery life are major concerns – and falling to 1200p will help achieve more fluid gameplay and better battery ton. When we talk about the latter, we also have a much larger power pack on board here, so it should generally be a big boost in residence when playing on the go.
