These Legion TrueStrike controllers raise the bar, surpassing the functionality of the Switch’s Joy-Cons. Additionally, they boast eye-catching RGB lighting around the power button and incorporate “hall effect joysticks” that eliminate the controller drift issue often experienced with the Switch.
Beyond the controllers, the Legion Go offers a range of impressive features. The device boasts an 8.8-inch Lenovo PureSight gaming touchscreen with a 16:10 aspect ratio, delivering a Quad HD Plus resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels and a refresh rate of up to 144Hz. The display is capable of achieving up to 500 nits of brightness and covers 97 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut, ensuring stunning visuals.
Under the hood, the Legion Go is powered by an “AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor” paired with an AMD RDNA graphics card, similar to the hardware found in the ROG Ally. It also boasts 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, offering a performance level akin to the ROG Ally. Storage capacity reaches 1TB, expandable by an additional 2TB via micro-SD card.
