Lenovo had a lot to show off at the Mobile World Congress (MWC), including the Legion Go Fold, a concept device built around a flexible OLED display. The system remains a prototype, but it demonstrates a highly adaptable design that can significantly shift its display size.
Flexible OLED Display
The Legion Go Fold features an 11.6-inch flexible OLED screen. While that size may seem large for a portable handheld, the display can fold in half to create a 7.7-inch panel. In this folded configuration, the device feels less bulky and adopts a more traditional aspect ratio.
The display can also be fully extended when additional screen space is needed. It can even be positioned in portrait orientation.
Detachable Controllers
A central element of the design is its detachable controllers and multiple mounting points. Users can remove the controllers, rotate the display into landscape orientation, and reattach them to create a widescreen gaming setup.
The controllers can also be connected using an accessory similar to Nintendo’s Joy-Con Grip. In this arrangement, the device can stand upright using its folio cover, which doubles as a kickstand.
The Legion Go Fold includes pogo pins for attaching a wireless keyboard. This configuration transforms the device into a compact gaming laptop. Depending on how it is set up, the system offers at least four distinct usage modes.
Additional Features
The right controller includes a 1-inch OLED display capable of showing widgets such as time and performance settings. It also functions as a small touchpad, which can assist when playing PC titles originally designed for mouse and keyboard input.
As with the Legion Go and Legion Go 2, the right controller includes a scroll wheel and a hidden sensor, allowing it to operate as a vertical mouse for first-person shooter games.
Lenovo has not confirmed plans to commercialize the Legion Go Fold. The demonstration unit featured an Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor, 32GB of RAM, and a 48Wh battery. If the concept were to reach retail, a larger battery capacity could be beneficial.
