Lenovo could have a surprise for its fans at this year’s Mobile World Congress – a Legion Go Fold Concept. The rumored foldable gaming handheld will be a bold evolution from the Legion Go series, addressing key limitations of traditional Windows portables like small screens and bulk and promises seamless transitions between gaming and productivity.
Device Overview
According to a report from WindowsLatest, the Legion Go Fold Concept features a flexible POLED display that folds from a compact 7.7 inches to an expansive 11.6 inches. This versatility sets it apart in a market where foldables like high-end smartphones are commonplace, but the gaming-specific implementations remain rare. Detachable wireless controllers can then attach to either side.
Versatile Usage Modes
Handheld Mode delivers familiar gameplay in a folded state, perfect for travel, while a vertical Split-Screen Mode unfolds the display upright, dedicating one half to gaming and the other to streaming or spectating, ideal for content creators. Then there’s Horizon Full Screen Mode that opens horizontally with controllers, for a generous 11.6-inch canvas in handheld form.
There’s an Expanded Desktop Mode that allows the device to dock with an included wireless keyboard and touchpad, for a full clamshell laptop. The right controller can transform into a vertical mouse, augmented by a small integrated screen displaying performance metrics, customizable hotkeys, and settings.
Impressive Specifications
Performance comes from an Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor paired with 32GB of RAM, along with a 48Wh battery that can get challenged by extended play, though anticipated 2026 Windows 11 enhancements and Xbox features could optimize efficiency.
By consolidating large-screen gaming without TVs or PCs and blending work with play, the Legion Go Fold could redefine hybrid devices for gamers short on time or space. Will we be seeing this at MWC 2026? We hope so.
