Lenovo Accidentally Suggests Legion Go S Console Could Launch Soon-OxBig News Network

Lenovo Legion Go (Review) was launched in global markets last year, and the Chinese firm could launch another handheld gaming console soon. The company accidentally published a reference to a new console on its website, and the company’s support website also listed a BIOS firmware for an unreleased model. The purported device from Lenovo could be equipped with an octa core AMD Rembrandt APU. It is expected to arrive as a more affordable version of the Legion Go handheld gaming console.

A listing for a new “Legion Go S 8ARP1” was spotted by Videocardz on the company’s support website, which lists a 11.41-megabyte BIOS update for the unreleased device, which runs on Windows 11 (64-bit). The entry suggests that a new model could be on the way, and that it could arrive as a more affordable option.

Thanks to the entry on the company’s website, we know that the rumoured Legion Go S device will be equipped with an AMD Rembrandt APU, with Zen 3+ CPU cores and a Zen 2 APU. The company removed the entry for the so-called Legion Go S model after the report was published.

Meanwhile, a document titled ‘Regulatory Notice for Wireless LAN/WAN modules’ hosted on the company’s website contains a listing for the same Legion Go S 8ARP1 model, and it reveals that it will offer support for Wi-Fi 6E connectivity.

Lenovo previously dropped hints that it would launch new devices powered by Ryzen Z2-series APUs, and these systems are said to bear the model numbers 8AHP2 and 8ASP2 — which suggest the presence of AMD’s Ryzen Z2 Hawk Point and Strix Point APUs, respectively.

It’s worth noting that these handheld-focused APUs are yet to be launched by AMD, so gaming enthusiasts will have to wait until these processors are launched before Lenovo can launch these devices. We can speculate that the Lenovo Legion Go S might debut with a lower price tag than the first-generation Legion Go model, as a second-generation Legion Go (8ASP2) model is also expected to make its debut.
