Images have emerged of Legion AR Glasses glasses from Lenovo. It would be intended for use with the unannounced Legion Go handheld, new details of which have also emerged. It is not known when the handheld and AR glasses will be released and what they will cost.

Photos held by WindowsReport show a Lenovo Legion Go handheld used with Legion AR Glasses glasses. These glasses appear to function as a kind of external monitor, on which users can play PC games. According to the website, these AR glasses are ‘specifically adapted’ for gaming, although WindowsReport does not report what exactly that means. Exact specifications of the glasses are not known. It is also unknown whether the glasses will be available separately or will be included as standard with the handheld. The glasses show similarities with the Glasses T1, which Lenovo announced last year.

WindowsReport also has new details about the Lenovo Legion Go itself. According to that website, this handheld will have an AMD Ryzen Z1 APU. The chip in question has eight Zen 4 cores and an integrated RNDA 3 GPU with twelve compute units. This probably concerns the Extreme variant of the Ryzen Z1. The device will also have an 8″ screen with an aspect ratio of 16:9 or 16:10, WindowsReport claims.

Images of the Lenovo Legion Go recently appeared. The handheld will have removable controllers on the sides, among other things. The Legion Pro also runs on Windows 11. The handheld also has a 3.5mm jack, a USB-C connection at the top and a USB-C port at the bottom. WindowsReport reports that this ‘possibly’ concerns Thunderbolt connections, although this has not been confirmed.

Lenovo has not officially announced the Legion Go yet. It is not known when Lenovo plans to do that. The recommended retail price is also still unknown. The same applies to the Lenogo Legion AR Glasses.
