Lenovo's new handheld will smush together our favorite bits of the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch

Leaked images of the Legion Go shows it will have detachable gamepads and perhaps a larger screen than its portable rivals.

Some leaked images obtained by Windows Report show Lenovo's upcoming handheld gaming PC, the Legion Go, is taking some heavy design influences from the Nintendo Switch, featuring detachable gamepads and a sizable display.

We first heard that Lenovo was reportedly reviving plans for a handheld PC a few weeks ago. The speculation is it will be a Windows 11-based system, much like the Asus ROG Ally or the recent (and unfortunately named) OneXPlayer OneXFly, potentially packing an AMD Phoenix processor. That will either be the Z1 Extreme or the Ryzen 7 7840U.

Obviously, the first thing that stands out in these Legion Go images is the detachable Switch-like gamepads. There's even a small touchpad on the right gamepad for mouse controls. There's also a kickstand, which makes sense if the gamepads are detachable; you'll need a way to prop it up when using a controller. 

The screen looks big, around eight inches, and it could/should be a touch-screen, too. You can also spot smaller details from the images: two USB Type-C ports, a headphone jack, and volume controls at the top. Fingers crossed at least one of those will be a USB4 port.
