Lenovo Legion Go 2 leaks surfaced Monday ahead of the handheld's reported reveal at IFA Berlin later this week. The leaks have left little to the imagination, detailing hardware specifications and design of the device. Lenovo will likely confirm Legion Go 2's pricing and availability when the handheld is officially unveiled, but a new claim has suggested what it could cost when it launches thi year. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 could be priced over $1,000 in the US, much higher than some competing handhelds in the market.
The information comes from Notebookcheck, citing an unnamed source who claimed the Lenovo Legion Go 2 could be priced between $1,049 and $1,099 (roughly Rs. 92,400 and Rs. 96,800) in the US. It is, however, unclear if that price range relates to the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme variant of the handheld or the purported lower-end Ryzen Z2 chip model. The source said that Lenovo had not locked down North American pricing for the handheld, possibly over concerns about US tariffs and market conditions.
According to the source, the handheld will be priced higher than some competing handhelds in the European market — specifically the Eurozone — as well, with Lenovo planning to sell the device for EUR 999 (roughly Rs. 1.02 lakh) in the region.
As for availability, the Lenovo Legion Go 2 is said to be going on sale in the Eurozone from early September but will launch later in November in the US.

It's worth noting that the first-generation Lenovo Legion Go launched at $749.99 in the US and EUR 799 in Europe.
Earlier this year, MSI announced the Claw A8 handheld running on AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme. While pricing hasn't been officially confirmed, the device was reportedly spotted on European retail websites with prices approaching $1,000. The ROG Xbox Ally X, on the other hand, is said to be priced at EUR 899 in the European market, which could make it nearly $200 cheaper than the reported price of the Legion Go 2.
Microsoft and Asus have not yet confirmed pricing for the Xbox-branded Ally handhelds, despite confirming the October 16 launch date. The companies said they needed “more time to figure out the macro-economic impact to pricing”.
The Lenovo Go 2 is expected to be unveiled at the IFA Berlin tech trade show, which kicks off on September 5. As per the leak on Monday, the handheld is expected to run on Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip and pack a 78Whr battery.
