Lenovo has just released a handheld called the Legion C700, and it runs on Android as opposed to Windows 11 or Steam OS. Despite it being an Android-powered handheld, it does actually have the capability to play PC games, albeit through the cloud with a game streaming feature. The Lenovo Legion C700 is a handheld that was released only in China, and so far there’s no mention of it getting a US release.
The handheld retails for 2199 Yuan which is roughly $327 USD, so this is not intended to be a super powerful handheld. Thanks to the cloud gaming feature though, buyers of this device will still be able to play resource-heavy PC games, and it’ll even be possible without an internet connection. Game streaming is available all kinds of other devices including Android smartphones and tablets, other gaming handhelds, consoles, and PCs. It all requires internet to work though. Lenovo has figured out a way to make it work even if internet connectivity isn’t available.
The Lenovo Legion C700 lets you stream games without internet thanks to an included dongle
The secret to this feature is the included dongle which uses the Legion Stream Protocol. So you would plug the dongle into a PC, such as a laptop, and the Legion Stream Protocol would allow your Legion C700 to connect to the PC to stream the games through that connection instead of the internet.
The Legion C700 comes with TMR thumbsticks which will help drastically reduce the risk of stick drift issues compared to thumbsticks that use potentiometers. It also features Hall Effect triggers, back buttons for custom controls, and it has up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage with an 8,000mAh battery inside. Plus it has a 120Hz LCD panel that’s 7.82 inches in size with a Full HD resolution.
