Lenovo releases new cloud gaming handheld with 120 Hz display and TMR joysticks
Lenovo has finally released its latest gaming handheld after over a month of teasers. Arriving just as Asus has confirmed ROG Xbox Ally X20 pricing, the Legion C700 is a China-only device for now. Consequently, the Legion Go 2 and Legion Go S remain Lenovo's latest global gaming handhelds.
In short, the Legion C700 is closer to the Logitech G Cloud (curr. $249 - refurbished on Amazon) than the Legion Go series. To that end, the Legion C700 focuses on streaming games via Tencent Start, which sits in front of the Legion Stream launcher and Android 16. Allegedly, the handheld can stream triple-A titles like Black Myth: Wukong at 60 FPS with just 10 ms latency; no independent tests have verified this yet, though.
Setting that aside, the Legion C700 also contains an IPS display surrounded by relatively thin bezels. Measuring 7.82-inches diagonally, the display outputs at 1,920 x 1,080 pixels in a 16:9 aspect ratio with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 500 nits peak brightness. Moreover, the handheld leverages the Dimensity 7400, an octa-core chipset built on a 4 nm node that Lenovo cools with a small fan and heatsink.
Also, the Legion C700 contains an 8,000 mAh battery, TMR joysticks, macro buttons and Hall effect triggers. Pricing will start at CNY 1,499 (~$225) with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, discounted from a CNY 2,199 (~$325) MSRP. Pre-orders will open in China on September 8. Lenovo has not confirmed whether the Legion C700 will be available globally though, nor when the handheld's cheaper 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage variant will arrive in China either.
