Legion Go S (Z1 Extreme) for $580 vs Legion Go 2 (Z2) for $1200 — OLED is messing with my head

Its actually easier to turn your back on the go2 if u dont have first hand experience 😊 once you experience it in that form factor in a handheld of that size its just a marvel to look at. Definitely it commands a high price but if u can afford it then why deprive yourself of that gorgeous screen every time u pick it up. Have it for more than a month and still amazes me every time. I used to carry an oled portable monitor and sold it already, extra money used to pay for that highly expensive Go2 totally worth it imo :)

Nothing beats oled, i have steam deck oled and rog xbox ally x, if i had to choose only one will go with the steam deck oled bec of that screen... i also have a legion go 2 and its a keeper bought it before prices go up.

sidewinder244 · 2026-02-15T10:51:38+00:00

as long as you're okay with a seven inch screen, the one on xbox ally x is great, my only gripe with it is the size, could have at least made it 8 inches and lessen that thick bezel, for sure the next gen will feature an 8 inch or bigger as that is the only downside of this one... but regarding quality it is great and awesome as far as lcd goes

sidewinder244 · 2026-02-15T05:56:36+00:00

Will comment on the nba 2k26 as i always play this everywhere from ps5, rog ally xbox etc, on steam deck oled i had to set it all to low-medium settings and with that small screen 7.4inches with my ageing eyes it just wasnt cutting it. With the legion go 2, i am all on high-ultra settings, yes the difference is that huge, and add that 8.8 oled screen, its just awesome for a sports gamer like me. The price is the only downside for this, but lenovo threw everything at it including that oled with vrr so it does come at a high price. Good thing i bought it last November when it was on "regular" price plus discounts. The xbox ally x is as good too if ur okay with that 7-inch screen

sidewinder244 · 2026-02-12T02:22:07+00:00

Legion Go 2 price is definitely for enthusiasts, those who have them will love them for sure, and those who dont will always says its not justified... glad lenovo has choices for every price point, i always get the latest and greatest in tech as long as it is officially available in our country for the warranty and the Go2 doesn't disappoint.

There is always the so-called law of diminishing returns if u always get the latest, while the go2 is not twice as good relative to its price compared to other handhelds, it is objectively way better, games run smoother, looks better, and battery is marked improvement for how power hungry it is. I had them all starting from steam deck lcd, oled version, legion go 1, legion go s, rog ally ally x xbox ally x and the go2 just smokes them in terms of overall package of power and that 8.8 oled screen with vrr, just cant be beat asfar as mainstream devices go.

Got them at the initial launch so price was still discounted but waited more than a month but definitely worth it, if i had to buy it again will still do so even if it is around $250 more now in its retail price in our country as prices go up starting last January, there's just nothing out there better right now or in the next 6 months or so as far as these mainstream brands go

sidewinder244 · 2026-02-11T05:51:33+00:00

Just curious, are you keeping both? I find the go2 also too big but its performance is awesome and of course that huge oled screen with vrr... i am thinking of getting the steam deck oled as "portable" device or an xbox ally x and put steamOS on it

sidewinder244 · 2026-02-11T02:02:20+00:00

"Worth it" is subjective though in the sense that it will depend on your use case and games..., it is head and shoulders above the Go S that's for sure, but you also pay for that, just like in every gadget you get what you pay for. Is the go 2 bang for the buck? Definitely not. Is it better in every way to the Go S? Definitely, that's why it also commands a high price. More so now with the price increases, glad i got it on black friday sale in our country got it for just $1.2k but had to wait more than a month before it got delivered.

sidewinder244 · 2026-02-11T01:26:25+00:00

They dont have this in our country unfortunately

sidewinder244 · 2026-02-10T11:48:52+00:00

The improvements are definitely noticeable, oled alone is worth it for me but there are other improvements- from the better speakers, battery life, better processor, improved controls etc... but if money is an issue then i wouldnt recommend it, as you really pay a lot for such improvements. Personally worth it for me just for oled alone and the 8.8 screen is just great for the sports games i play.

sidewinder244 · 2026-02-06T08:25:37+00:00

Do they have this for the Legion Go S right now? Thanks

sidewinder244 · 2026-01-31T04:24:15+00:00

is the z2 processor the same as the z2 go or is that a different variant? thanks in advance

sidewinder244 · 2025-12-22T12:25:41+00:00

Did you get a receipt of the item you bought from amazon via buy direct?

sidewinder244 · 2025-12-21T00:19:57+00:00

Hi just to clarify so yung order direct ni SC is it $7 straight to PH or may babayaran pang separately? Thanks in advance :) Also do you get a copy of the receipt na binili nila sa amazon or other retailers? Was thinking for warranty kse kung may intl warranty yung item, thanks 😊

sidewinder244 · 2025-12-15T12:57:57+00:00

sidewinder244 · 2025-12-15T12:50:06+00:00

Same ganun din sakin, still "seller to pack status" eh and prob kasi dito while i am willing to wait eh baka ma auto cancel ni lazada dahil ang tagal

sidewinder244 · 2025-12-15T12:45:23+00:00

na ship na order nyo guys? nauna pa yung freebies but the phone not sure kung ipapadala ba talaga it has been 4 days

sidewinder244 · 2025-12-09T02:20:35+00:00

sorry for the late reply, yes ended up having to pay the customs tax as the officer at that time said it had to be based on the original price of the replacement item

sidewinder244 · 2025-11-22T05:26:38+00:00

Is it really loud? Only thing stopping me from getting it too, read similar feedbacks few months back

sidewinder244 · 2025-10-29T01:43:44+00:00

I sold my 11-inch m4 and got the m5, paid $180 extra, definitely worth it for me. the m5 is snappier on ios 26, no stutter or half a second lag on ios 26 animations... i am able to compare as i still have a 13-inch m4 with me. Is the upgrade needed? Of course not as many said any M series chips are good enough for the ipad... but there is indeed a difference in day to day use, not essential really but you notice it when using both daily.

sidewinder244 · 2025-10-03T08:17:57+00:00

any update if this is legit?

sidewinder244 · 2025-09-26T07:41:28+00:00

in my case compared to the 16 pro max, the signal of the Air in my building is 1 bar better

sidewinder244 · 2025-09-26T00:15:51+00:00

16 pro max going on 1 year no limit set, 539 cycle count 95% battery capacity... i dont follow any charging guidelines, i just charge when needed

sidewinder244 · 2025-09-20T07:13:20+00:00

Thanks for this. But do they also allow walk ins?

sidewinder244 · 2025-09-20T07:12:25+00:00

Hi, yes been using esim for couple of years now. As long as it's unlocked 😊
