[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the original Steam Deck before upgrading to the OLED edition and then when the Legion Go released, I upgraded to it and promptly sold both Steam Decks.
While the screen isn’t an OLED, the increased size of it, color accuracy, brightness, and its options for differing resolutions meant that I ended up liking it a tad better even if it was just regular LED. The unit itself is much larger than the other handhelds and you can feel this chunk in your hands when you hold it, it has bit of weight to it and generally a very solid premium feeling. If you game in bed with your elbows up and holding your handheld above you, prepare to feel your arms go numb or to get a concussion when the device falls on you because it can be heavy lol.
My biggest warning to buyers: please do your research if you are a console player who expects to just be able to plug in play. This is a basically a Windows PC and it will need different tweaking depending on the games you want to get working. Imagine this: on a console, you can just pick the game and play even if it’s new! For the Legion Go, you might need to see if your game is running at the right resolution, if it needs FPS to be capped, different performance modes on the Legion Go, messing around with FSR and other graphic settings (luckily I modded Skyrim once in my life and have the experience from those sleepless nights on PC so transitioning from Linux (Steam Deck) to what is basically a portable Windows PC with removable controller was easy and actually preferred for me.
Ever since the Steam Deck came out, a lot of companies have been jumping on the bandwagon. As a consumer, do your research before you buy the next coolest thing because so the early tech, you could easily save your money and buy an upgraded and revised product at a cheaper price when these companies figure everything out. However this handheld easily plays certain games that my steam deck couldn’t run or struggled with and that greatly increased my happiness with my purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] An absolute beast! I was on the fence between this or the steamdeck oled. No regrets! The LLG handles any game I throw at it. The display is beautiful and I couldnt imagine going with something smaller than the 8.8" screen. My only regret is getting the 500gb model instead of the 1tb!
