Overview
- Lenovo confirmed the SteamOS Legion Go 2 keeps the Windows model’s specs, including up to an AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme, 32GB LPDDR5X, 2TB PCIe Gen4 storage, a 74Wh battery, and an 8.8-inch 1920x1200 OLED at 144Hz.
- Reporting highlights expected improvements from SteamOS such as steadier frame rates, quicker suspend/resume, and better battery life compared with Windows on identical hardware.
- Distinctive hardware features carry over, including detachable controllers, an integrated kickstand, a variable‑refresh‑rate OLED screen, and an FPS mouse sensor in the right controller.
- SteamOS lacks native biometric support, so the Legion Go 2’s fingerprint reader will not function on this variant.
- This is Lenovo’s second handheld to ship with SteamOS after the Legion Go S, with two configurations planned (Ryzen Z2 16GB/1TB or Z2 Extreme 32GB/2TB) and pricing for the higher tier yet to be detailed.
