A Lenovo Legion Go “Lite” might be in the works

Lenovo is gearing up to unveil a “Lite” version of the Legion Go. In contrast to the ROG Ally X, which is expected to be more powerful and more expensive, the upcoming Legion Go Lite should offer a more budget-friendly option, possibly featuring a less powerful AMD CPU.

The Legion Go and the Ally are equipped with AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme APUs, featuring up to 8 Zen 4 cores and 12 RDNA 3 compute units. However, the Legion Go isn't available with the more affordable Ryzen Z1 APU (unlike the Ally), which packs 6x Zen 4 cores and 4x RDNA 3 CUs.

According to Windows Central, Lenovo may be considering integrating such an APU in a new Lite model. Although details regarding the Lite version have not been confirmed, rumours point towards a smaller screen and the absence of the original's detachable controllers, as Nintendo did with the Switch Lite. 

With the Legion Go going for around £700 (occasionally cheaper), the Lite edition should hit the market at a lower price tag.

KitGuru says: Although a cheaper version of the Legion Go would most likely help Lenovo grow in the gaming handheld market, the company has a lot of room to improve on the software side of things. For example, the ROG Ally already supports Fluid Motion Frames, but the Legion Go doesn't. Fortunately, some people have already developed third-party solutions to enable AFMF but we hope to see official support eventually.
