Advantages of ONEXPLAYER 2 Pro

• There is a 2TB storage option if you need it.
• Twice the amount of RAM than the Lenovo Legion Go.
• Better battery life due to larger battery.

Advantages of Lenovo Legion Go

• You get similar or even slightly better performance than the ONEXPLAYER 2 Pro at 60% the price.
• Lenovo is a more recognized brand (we are not sure how this is an advantage).
• You can use one of the controllers like a mouse, so this plays FPS much better.
• Larger, brighter screen with 144 Hz refresh rate.

TLDR

As the saying goes ‘there are no bad products, just bad prices’ and the ONEXPLAYER 2 Pro suffers from a bad pricing strategy. Between the two, we will go with the Legion Go.
