The hypothesis surrounding new fashion trends has been building momentum over the past few weeks, with Lenovo adding fuel to the fire by surprisingly slashing the price of its Legion Go smartphone to under $500 for the first time ever.
The Lenovo Legion Play is one of the best handheld gaming PCs outside of the Steam Deck. The Steam Deck’s innovative design imparts an added boost of uncooked energy, coupled with a Nintendo Switch-inspired control layout that set it apart from other portable gaming solutions upon its release.
While a price drop from $499.99 to $499.99 seems remarkable given the Lenovo Legion Go’s typical market performance, it’s truly puzzling that the company still remains tight-lipped about its long-term strategy for handheld devices.
The Lenovo Legion Go boasts an exceptional feature set at this value point, incorporating a vibrant 8.8-inch display with a high-resolution 2,560 x 1,600 panel, a rapid 144Hz refresh rate, coupled with a substantial 512GB SSD, 16GB LPDDR5X-7500 RAM, and a powerful AMD Ryzen Z1 Excessive APU. While its gaming performance easily outshines the Steam Deck, boasting numbers on par with the Asus ROG Zephyrus.
While leaked plans rarely lead to expedited timelines, the current value of the Lenovo Legion Go has surprisingly plummeted to an unusually attractive low just weeks after its previous price drop, prompting widespread anticipation that a forthcoming announcement from Lenovo is imminent.
Lenovo appears to be clearing out existing stock of its current-generation handhelds by releasing variants like the Lenovo Legion Go Lite and Legion Go 2, potentially signaling a transition to new models. It’s intriguing to consider whether they deliberately delayed the promotion until Black Friday to capitalize on the event’s anticipated hype.
