As for the handheld itself, the top-end variant of the SteamOS Legion Go S handheld is powered by AMD’s Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip and comes with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD. It takes on Valve’s Steam Deck with SteamOS, and some of its noteworthy features include an 8-inch display with 120Hz refresh rate support, an ergonomic design with a bigger fan at the back compared to the one on the regular Legion Go handheld, and more. We got hands-on time with the Windows version of the Legion Go S when it came out, and you can learn more about our experience of using it right here.
