Images of Lenovo Legion Go handheld with detachable controllers have emerged

Photos have emerged for the first time of Lenovo’s SteamDeck-like handheld, the Lenovo Legion Go. That device runs on Windows and, similar to the Nintendo Switch, has two detachable controllers next to the screen.

Images from the handheld have surfaced at Windows Report. According to that site, the device will have an eight-inch screen. The controls can be operated on both sides of the screen. In that configuration, the handheld mainly resembles the ROG Ally from ASUS, with two asymmetrical sticks, a four-point push button and four A, B, X and Y buttons on the side. There is also, just like the Steam Deck, a trackpad on one of the controllers.

There are several triggers on the back of the device. There are at least four shoulder triggers on the device, but there are also triggers under the controllers. According to Windows Report, there is also a wheel under the controllers, although it is not clear what that is for. It is also possible to place the device upright via the back using a hinge.

The most notable aspect of the handheld is that controllers can be detached from the device, similar to the Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Cons. Windows Report concludes that the screen is touch sensitive, but this is not clear from the photos.

The device also has two USB-C ports, one at the top and one at the bottom. There is also a 3.5mm port in the device, as well as a microSD slot.

Windows Report says that the device runs on Windows 11. There have been rumors for some time that Lenovo wants to release its own handheld. The company has been talking about this since 2021, but previous images that appeared on the site back then look nothing like the photos that are now coming out. Lenovo has not officially said anything about the device and when it should be released.
