Lenovo Legion Go 2 leaks online, specs compared to Xbox Ally X

The handheld gaming device market is heating up with a bunch of options for gamers to sink their teeth into, and with Xbox officially joining the fray vicariously through ASUS ROG and the Ally devices, it was only a matter of time before other brands decided to make the same performance offering of those devices with their own handheld. Enter the Legion Go 2.

The Xbox Ally and Ally X are the first handheld devices to be rocking AMD's powerful Z2 Extreme AI APU, but those handhelds are now not alone, or at least according to In Yo, who posted a video of what they are claiming to be a prototype of Lenovo's Legion Go 2.

According to the video, the Legion Go 2 will also be rocking the Z2 Extreme AI APU, but it will be based on the Zen 4 process and not Zen 5 like the ROG Xbox Ally. The big difference between the two handhelds is the size of the display. The Legion Go 2 seems to feature an 8.8-inch screen, while the ROG Xbox Ally has a 7-inch screen.

There is also a difference in display technology; the Legion Go 2 display is OLED, while the ROG Xbox Ally is IPS. That isn't the only difference between the two devices as the Legion Go 2 has a 75Wh battery compared to the 80Wh on the Xbox Ally X. Unlike the Xbox Ally X, the Legion Go 2 has detachable joysticks like the original Legion Go and also a kickstand, making this device closer to a Nintendo Switch in terms of physical versatility.

As for price, the Xbox Ally X and Ally are slated to be anywhere between $899 and $599, and given the specifications for the Legion Go 2, we can expect Lenovo's upcoming device to fall anywhere between those two figures.
