Lenovo Legion Go Fold leak shows a hybrid handheld suitable for almost everything

Rigid boundaries have traditionally defined the handheld gaming market, but Lenovo is reportedly looking to change things up with the Legion Go Fold. Leaked ahead of Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026, this concept device aims to bridge the gap between a portable console and a functional ultra-mobile PC.

According to Windows Latest, by using a flexible pOLED (plastic OLED) display, the Legion Go Fold can transform from a compact 7.7-inch handheld into an expansive 11.6-inch tablet or mini-laptop.

The defining feature of the Legion Go Fold is its versatility, made possible by its folding screen and detachable wireless controllers. In handheld mode, the device folds to 7.7 inches, retaining the familiar footprint of the original Legion Go, making it ideal for standard gaming on the move. In horizon mode, the display is fully unfolded to 11.6 inches, offering significantly more real estate and allowing the wireless controllers to be attached on the side. Then there's the dual-screen mode, which uses a vertical “portrait” orientation, where the software splits the screen, allowing each half to show different apps/games. Lastly, the laptop mode pairs the unfolded display with a magnetic detachable keyboard, just like a Windows Surface tablet.

The internal hardware is a mix of high-end capacity and slightly dated efficiency. The leak suggests the device is powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V “Lunar Lake” processor, a chip designed primarily for battery longevity rather than the raw graphical power found in the Ryzen Z2 Extreme chips powering the upcoming Legion Go 2. For the battery, a 48 Wh capacity one was chosen. That's significantly smaller than the 74 Wh unit expected in the SteamOS-powered Legion Go 2. However, given that this is still a concept, hardware changes are still possible.

KitGuru says: The Legion Go Fold is a fascinating experiment in form factor but for now, we do not know if this concept will make it to market.
