A situation which every gamer comes across is that of deciding what kind of gaming console to buy in order to rejoice in a cosy and comforting gaming experience. Gamers also find it hard to make a befitting and fruitful decision in such situations.
But the time of confusion has gone by as Lenovo’s latest handheld gaming console Legion Go has made a barging entry into the gaming world. The Lenovo Legion Pro was launched at the IFA (Internationale FunkAusstellung Berlin) 2023 event held in Berlin on September 1.
Lenovo Legion Go: Design and display
The design of Lenovo Legion Go seems to be an imitation of the Nintendo Switch. However, it comes with detachable controllers and a kickstand, while also featuring a vivid 8.8-inch display in a larger and bulky body.
Available in only Shadow Black shade, the high-end gaming console comes with Hall Effect joysticks that add to its external beauty and ensure enhanced responsiveness during longer gaming sessions. Meanwhile, it also accompanies multiple buttons including a touchpad, D-pad, an angled mouse wheel, 10 mappable shoulder buttons, triggers, and grip buttons.
The Lenovo Legion Go features an 8.8-inch QHD+ IPS display, a 16:10 aspect ratio, and a resolution of 1,600 x 2,560 pixels.
