Lenovo Legion Go S Gaming Console Firmware Reportedly Listed Ahead of Anticipated Launch

The Lenovo Legion Go (review) was launched in global markets last year, and the Chinese company may soon launch another handheld gaming console. The company accidentally posted references to the new consoles on its website, and the company’s support site also lists BIOS firmware for unreleased models. It is said that Lenovo’s device may feature an octa-core AMD Rembrandt APU. It is expected to arrive as a more affordable version of the Legion Go handheld gaming console.

Videocardz discovered a listing for the new “Legion Go S 8ARP1” on the company’s support site, which lists an 11.41 MB BIOS update for the unreleased device, which runs on Windows 11 (64-bit). The entry suggests that a new model may be coming soon, and it could become a more affordable option.

From an entry on the company’s website, we know that the rumored Legion Go S device will feature an AMD Rembrandt APU, with Zen 3+ CPU cores and a Zen 2 APU. Following the report, the company removed the entry for the alleged Legion Go S model.

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

Lenovo has previously hinted at the launch of new devices powered by Ryzen Z2 series APUs, with the systems said to have model numbers 8AHP2 and 8ASP2, indicating the presence of AMD’s Ryzen Z2 Hawk Point and Strix Point APUs respectively.

It’s worth noting that these APUs for handheld devices have not yet been 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 launch at a lower price than the first-generation Legion Go model, as the second-generation Legion Go (8ASP2) model is also expected to debut.
