The detachable controllers go a long way towards making the device more portable and usable. The screen has a hefty flip-out kickstand on the back, so I’ve found it more comfortable to park the console on the table or bar in front of me, and hold the controllers at lap level. The upside to the substantial build is that the controllers have comfortable built-in grips, with smooth magnetic Hall effect sticks, and buttons that have a soft, yet distinct touch.
There are also two minor inclusions here that I think do a lot for the user experience. The first is the included case, which might not sound important, but often these handheld gaming consoles don’t include one. Because they aren’t standard-sized, it’s often hard to find a third-party case, particularly at release. While I wouldn’t necessarily trust the semi-soft pouch to protect my new device in a checked bag, I’m totally comfortable tossing it in my backpack and going for a bike ride, and I appreciate that there’s a little spot for the FPS mode accessories inside. The other feature is the fingerprint sensor, which works consistently and quickly, and is much easier than trying to type in a password on a touchscreen every time you wake the system up, although it is in a slightly awkward position.
Game On
The performance on the AMD Z2 is thankfully much better than the Z2 Go found in the Legion Go S. At native resolution, with settings maxed but ray tracing off, I was sitting at 20 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077’s benchmark. That might sound rough coming from desktop numbers, but it’s somewhat impressive for a gaming handheld. For reference, the Z2 Go only managed 20 FPS with the graphics set to low at the same resolution. With a little tweaking or a resolution drop, you could easily break 60 FPS in one of the more demanding modern games.
On indie titles like the recently released Ball x Pit, the meter stays glued to the screen’s 144-Hz limit, which is great news, since you’ll regularly be able to take advantage of the smooth refresh rate. The panel itself is OLED, and it’s one of the best gaming handheld screens I’ve tested yet, with full, vivid colors and deep, dark black levels. It measures a full 336 nits at max brightness, but more impressively, covers 100 percent of the sRGB and 94 percent of the AdobeRGB spectrums, with a .86 color accuracy delta. That color coverage and accuracy is up there with some of the best laptops and dedicated computer monitors. It’s a delight to play on, and despite its glossy finish, I didn’t have any game-breaking issues with heavy reflections or glare.

![Hey Dave Filoni, Leslye Headland Is Still Down for ‘The Acolyte’ Season 2
No matter what you thought about The Acolyte season one, there is no denying that season two was going to be incredible. Creator Leslye Headland and her team ended that first season with the promise of exploring multiple Dark Side relationships, the reveal of potentially the ultimate Sith in Darth Plagueis, a deep dive into the corruption of the Jedi, and even Yoda’s complicity in it. But, of course, that didn’t happen. Instead, Disney decided not to move forward with more episodes of The Acolyte. A true disappointment to fans of the show, but not all that surprising. The show, of course, had invited all manner of vitriol, and it seems like viewership didn’t quite justify the cost of more episodes. However, in the years since, the show has endured. In fact, just recently, there were reports that it once again cracked the top 10 on Disney+. And, in a new interview, Headland said that she’d still be interested in returning to a galaxy far, far, away. “I would still want to do it! Absolutely,” she told Empire, via Fantha Tracks. “As more people discover it, I think people may want to see some form of the story come back. We did have a lot of stuff that we wanted to explore, including tying in lore to the sequels. Getting into who exactly Manny [Jacinto]’s character is, his connection with [Jedi Master] Vernestra, his connection with [Sith Lord] Plagueis, and then his connection with other sequel-established things.”
Headland went on to say that she’s also felt the show returning a bit in recent days. “I’m having a resurgence of The Acolyte in my real life,” she said. “I speak with people who are really big fans, and were disappointed in the cancellation. was like, I went to a play last night, and somebody ‘I just have to tell you that I loved it.’”
We loved it too and think a second season would be absolutely incredible. Who wouldn’t want to see The Stranger with his new apprentice, and how that works with his master, Plagueis? Or what lengths the Jedi will go to in order to cover it all up? Hey, Lucasfilm president Dave Filoni, take note! Want more io9 news?
