Handheld games have always been a consumer darling as far back as the 1970s when the first handheld war erupted between Mattel and Coleco over the best portable American football game.
As technology improved, the industry got the GameBoy, Sega GameGear, PlayStation Portable and the Nintendo DS. With graphics now able to replicate those inside many PCs, handheld games are now as sophisticated as some of the larger console brothers and sisters.
Enter Lenovo’s Legion Go 2, an effort to capture some of the market share that has been gobbled up by Nintendo’s Switch. The Legion Go 2 features an application processor from AMD and main DRAM from Samsung.
Lenovo is about to release its Legion Go 2 Generation 2 portable gaming console so it will be interesting to see what the company improves on performance from one generation to the next.
The following is a partial deep dive into the Legion Go 2 conducted by TechInsights.
