The main difference you&#8217;re likely to notice, though\u2014and certainly the main thing I noticed\u2014is the improved controller design.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VcRcM8CxgO0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>One of the big selling points of the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/lenovo-legion-go-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">original Lenovo Legion Go<\/a> was (is) its detachable controllers, as these allow you to stand the handheld&#8217;s big screen on a surface and sit back\u2014even wave your arms around like mad while gaming if you feel like it. Judging from this video, it looks like while the Legion Go 2 will have detachable controllers too, these should be a lot more comfy to use.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s one of the things I love about the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/handheld-gaming-pcs\/lenovo-legion-go-s-steamos-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lenovo Legion Go S (SteamOS)<\/a>: it&#8217;s very comfy to use, and certainly much more comfortable than the original. It looks like Lenovo&#8217;s learnt from this and has made the grips more ergonomic with the Legion Go 2.<\/p>\n<p>Another big change from the first (which we already knew about from a previous <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/news.lenovo.com\/pressroom\/press-releases\/lenovo-legion-unleashes-next-gen-gaming-power-at-ces-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\">press release<\/a>) is that the Legion Go 2 will have an OLED screen. I&#8217;ve been keeping my eye on Legion Go communities and I know that at least some potential Go-ers are holding off from buying a Legion Go S because it lacks an OLED panel. In which case, the official second iteration of the handheld should be tempting for a lot of people for this reason alone.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2339px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.26%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"5hniC4Ds2h9ar8iPNL3ZS5\" name=\"lenovo-legion-go-2-prototype\" alt=\"A seeming Lenovo Legion Go 2 prototype handheld being held, showing the Windows desktop\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/better-grips-oled-screen-and-more-memory-our-first-actual-look-at-the-lenovo-legion-go-2-is-everything-i-wanted-in-the-original.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2339\" height=\"1316\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: in yo @ YouTube)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The spec sheet in the video says this is a 500-nit panel, but it looks like the user in the video might be claiming 749 nits for it. It&#8217;s also a 1200p, 144 Hz, 8.8-inch screen, which is ideal. This matches the large screen and high refresh rate of the first Legion Go, but doesn&#8217;t go overkill with the resolution\u20141200p is ideal for this hardware.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the hardware, the model in the video looks to be a Ryzen Z2 version, which is essentially the same chip as the Z1 Extreme in the original\u2014same cores, same GPU, same number of compute units (CUs), and so on.<\/p>\n<p>In the Reddit thread I linked earlier, however, there&#8217;s a <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/LegionGo\/comments\/1m5piri\/comment\/n4drwqy\/?utm_source=share&#038;utm_medium=web3x&#038;utm_name=web3xcss&#038;utm_term=1&#038;utm_content=share_button\" target=\"_blank\">user who claims to be the creator of the video<\/a> (though perhaps that means the uploader, not the person <em>in <\/em>the video), and they say that &#8220;some 890m machines have also appeared in the second-hand market in China.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It seems Lenovo might release different versions of the new handheld with different hardware at different price points. The previous information we had from Lenovo said that &#8220;while final production details are still being refined, the prototype features up to the new AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor&#8221;, so maybe that will just be the top-end version, and Z1E\/Z2 or even Z2 Go versions could be available at cheaper prices.<\/p>\n<p>There might also be other differences, as the Redditor also claims that &#8220;the memory frequency of the z2e version I saw is 8000&#8221;, so there&#8217;s potential for versions with faster memory, too. They also claim good speaker quality, and the video claims better vibration.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2390px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.23%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"oQ3fMeafrx7uKYz3JiUgHW\" name=\"lenovo-legion-go-2-prototype-specs\" alt=\"A seeming Lenovo Legion Go 2 prototype handheld being held, with some on-screen specifications being pointed at\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/better-grips-oled-screen-and-more-memory-our-first-actual-look-at-the-lenovo-legion-go-2-is-everything-i-wanted-in-the-original-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2390\" height=\"1344\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: in yo @ YouTube)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That would mean there could be a top-end Legion Go 2 with a Z2 Extreme (more CUs for a bit more graphical horsepower), 32 GB of 8000 MT\/s memory, a bigger battery (thank God), an OLED screen, better vibration and speakers, and improved grips. That might seem like somewhat of an iteration of the first rather than a leaps-and-bounds improvement, but I&#8217;ll take it. The first was great, and these changes would improve most of the pain points.<\/p>\n<p>It even looks like the new handheld will have the same D-pad as you find on the Legion Go S, which I personally love. It feels just the right amount of clicky and tactile, unlike on the original Legion Go which felt too pingy.<\/p>\n<p>The one sticking point might be the weight, though, as the person in the video weighs it in at 938 g with the controllers on. That&#8217;s even heavier than the original, which was 854 g. The nice grips should still make it more comfortable than the original, but we&#8217;ll have to wait and see whether that weight is an issue.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, though, what I see does excite me. For those who loved the original design but wanted those few wrinkles ironed out, it looks like this might be it. Though I suppose much will depend on how it&#8217;s priced, too.
