Best premium handheld for display quality
Lenovo Legion Go 2
Reviewed
The Legion Go 2 is the maximalist handheld. Its 8.8-inch 1920x1200 OLED at 144Hz is simply the best display fitted to any portable gaming device — bigger, brighter, and smoother than everything else here — and it's backed by Z2 Extreme silicon, up to 32GB of RAM, a 74Wh battery, and Switch-style detachable controllers with a kickstand for tabletop sessions. It's heavy and it's expensive, but if you treat a handheld as your primary gaming machine rather than a travel companion, this is the one that feels least like a compromise.
