[Hardware] Lenovo's Upcoming Legion Go S Handheld To Use AMD Ryzen Z2 SoC & Will Be Priced Lower Than Legion Go

[Aronus]

Lenovo's Legion Go S is said to feature the AMD Ryzen Z2 SoCs while being priced at 600 Euros, making it ideal for the masses, but it will also boast slower hardware than the original Legion Go handheld.

Lenovo Legion Go S will boast an 8-inch display, a 55Wh battery, and will utilize an 8-core AMD Ryzen Z2 SoC
The quest for a more affordable handheld has made Lenovo go a bit lower in the configuration, at least for the main processor if the recent leaks are true. Lenovo Legion Go, being one of the most successful handhelds, may not be the most powerful today, but it certainly goes well against some of the best handhelds in the market.

The company is now working on another gaming handheld but with newer hardware. As WinFuture reports, the company is making a smaller handheld than the Legion Go, which goes by the name "Legion Go S". Unlike the original edition, it will be powered by the Ryzen Z2 chip (different from Ryzen Z2 Extreme), which is supposedly slower than the Ryzen Z1 Extreme used on the Legion Go if we go by the specs.

But that's how Lenovo can price it lower than the Lenovo Go handheld. WinFuture reports that the handheld can be priced somewhere around 600 Euros per European retailer. It could be more or less as this isn't official yet. Hence, it's going to be around 200 Euros cheaper than the Lenovo Go as per the European prices.

That means the official NA market price should be lower as the EU region incurs 20% VAT. This will make the Legion Go S compete directly with the ROG Ally and Steam DECK LCD versions. While detailed specifications have yet to come out, the Legion Go S will use the 8-core/16-thread Zen 3+-based SoC with Radeon 680M as the integrated graphics. This puts it lower than the Legion Go, but the memory is supposedly retained at 16 GB LPDDR5.
