Lenovo’s gaming division, known for the Legion Go, is reportedly preparing to unveil a new handheld gaming console. This speculation surfaced after an inadvertent listing was discovered on the company’s website, which hinted at an upcoming model. Additionally, the firm’s support portal had information regarding a BIOS firmware update for this unannounced device, suggesting that Lenovo could soon roll out a more budget-friendly alternative.

Details from the listing indicate that the anticipated Legion Go S will feature an AMD Rembrandt APU, which includes Zen 3+ CPU cores along with a Zen 2 APU. Notably, Lenovo removed the entry shortly after the report was made public, raising further interest in the console.
Further information was found in a document titled ‘Regulatory Notice for Wireless LAN/WAN Modules’ on Lenovo’s website, confirming support for Wi-Fi 6E connectivity for the Legion Go S 8ARP1 model.
Lenovo has hinted at the development of new devices powered by AMD’s Ryzen Z2-series APUs, with anticipated models designated as 8AHP2 and 8ASP2. These models are expected to incorporate AMD’s Ryzen Z2 Hawk Point and Strix Point APUs, although these specific processors have yet to be released by AMD.
As excitement builds, it seems likely that the Lenovo Legion Go S will arrive with a price point lower than its predecessor. Furthermore, a second-generation version of the Legion Go, referenced as model 8ASP2, is also anticipated to launch alongside these offerings.
