Lenovo Legion Go Fold Leaks, Merges Portability of a Handheld Gaming PC with the Versatility of a Laptop

The Lenovo Legion Go Fold debuts as a novel attempt to combine the portability of a gaming handheld with the versatility of a small laptop, all in a single foldable chassis. Lenovo will unveil this at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on March 2, 2026, and as of now, it appears that the device will be a game changer.

At its center is a flexible pOLED screen, which when folded up measures 7.7 inches across the diagonal, making it ideal for gripping like a traditional handheld. As you open it, the screen stretches all the way to 11.6 inches. That’s a lot of real estate, almost like you’re using a compact tablet. The way it unfolds is also very fascinating, as it simply opens along a central crease, giving you a broader view of two halves of about 7.7 inches each, or stacked vertically.

Lenovo is powering it with an Intel Core Ultra 7 258V CPU, a Lunar Lake chip that has been tuned for battery longevity in ultra-slim laptops. With a huge 32GB of RAM, this device can handle demanding games and multitasking without blinking an eye, even in its portable form. It is powered by a 48Wh battery, although if you use the screen in full immersion mode, the battery life may be reduced.

Here’s the cool part: there are detachable controllers that snap into the sides when used in handheld mode, and they have the familiar grips and buttons you’d expect for comfortable gameplay. One of the controllers has an additional little screen built in that displays your performance information, quick settings, and even hotkeys. Furthermore, in some situations, the same controller can morph into a vertical mouse for ultra-precise aiming in first-person shooters. When you unfold the screen, you can switch to split-screen mode, which allows one half to run a game while the other half streams or chats on the web. Alternatively, you may choose full-screen horizontal mode, which gives you an entire 11.6 inches for gaming. If you do opt to use it on a desk, it comes with a wireless keyboard and a touchpad that connects to the folding screen, transforming it into a makeshift laptop with the controller performing mouse functions.

One thing that’s missing right now is any information on how many ports it has or how thick it is, but I believe it’s safe to say that Lenovo’s priority here is getting the flexibility right rather than cramming in every feature under the sun.

As a concept, the Legion Go Fold has no set release date or pricing, but it does show a lot of promise. Lenovo has previously turned ideas like this into genuine devices, so who knows? This one may be itching to get out of the lab and into the market at some point, but that is entirely just a pipe dream for the time being.
