A number of weeks again Logitech G introduced that it was teaming up with Tencent to work on a sport streaming handheld known as (watch for it) the Logitech G Gaming Handheld. Because of leaked photos, we now know what the hand-held and its UI will appear to be.
The three photos that discovered their technique to Evan Blass’ Twitter account had been shortly DMCA’ed by Logitech G . The velocity at which Logitech G responded provides me a sense these images are the actual deal.
They present a cute white handheld with black and key lime inexperienced accents. It seems to be smaller and extra ergonomically pleasant than the Steam Deck—it jogs my memory a little bit of the WiiU gamepad. It is powerful to gauge how large the factor is, but it surely seems to be barely smaller than the Steam Deck.
One of many leaked screenshots consists of the UI (or not less than a work-in-progress model), with icons for a number of the apps out there from the Google Play Retailer akin to Steam Distant Play, Nvidia GeForce Now, Google Chrome, Youtube, and Xbox (twice, for some motive). Logitech G has already mentioned that the gadget will help a number of cloud gaming providers. No less than now we’ve got an concept of which of them.
Logitech G has but to disclose what working system G Gaming will run, however seeing the Google Play Retailer fairly prominently in one of many photos tells us it is most definitely an Android gadget. An Android gaming handheld is a little bit of a departure from all of the current Steam Deck rivals we have seen that run off a model of Linux or Home windows.
Android telephones and tablets already make fairly first rate sport streaming gadgets, so it will be attention-grabbing to see if individuals will hop on board. As soon as we be taught its CPU and GPU specs, we’ll be capable to inform if Logitech’s handset can be an honest emulation gadget, or restricted to streaming video games. What sort of show it has, how lengthy the battery lasts, and pricing stay large questions.
The Logitech G Gaming Handheld launches later this 12 months. Thanks, 9to5google.
