Unleash the Power of Lenovo’s Revolutionary Legion Gaming Handheld with OLED and Detachable Mouse
Lenovo Legion Go S: The First Third-Party SteamOS Handheld?
In a surprise move, Lenovo has unveiled an unannounced handheld gaming PC, the Legion Go S, which boasts an intriguing twist: a Steam button that could potentially make it the first third-party SteamOS handheld, rivaling the Steam Deck.
But that’s not all – Evan Blass has revealed images of a new, larger Lenovo Legion Go device, which seems to build upon the unique features of the original. The detachable Joy-Con like gamepads and kickstand are back, along with the "FPS mode" that allows you to use one of the controllers like a vertical mouse.
According to the original filenames, one model may swap out the 8.8-inch IPS LCD screen for an OLED panel at the same size, promising improved colors, deeper blacks, and potentially improved response times. However, we still lack specs, marketing claims, and details on ports and battery life.
One thing is certain – the smaller Lenovo Legion Go S is likely to be a SteamOS handheld, as Blass showed me filenames that suggest it will be "powered by" Steam, mirroring Valve’s new branding guidelines for "Powered by SteamOS" devices.
What does it mean to be "Powered by SteamOS"?
Valve defines "Powered by SteamOS" as "hardware running the SteamOS operating system, implemented in close collaboration with Valve." This could indicate that the Lenovo Legion Go S will be a SteamOS device, built in partnership with Valve.
We’ve reached out to Valve and Lenovo to learn more about this exciting development. Until then, we can’t help but wonder what the future holds for this handheld gaming PC.
