Are we ready for a cloud-first handheld game system?
August 2, 2022

What just happened? Logitech and Tencent Games are coming together to bring a cloud gaming handheld to market, and you might even be able to get your hands on it before your Steam Deck arrives. The handheld will combine Logitech G's expertise in hardware with Tencent's renowned software services. The two are working with teams from Xbox Cloud Gaming and Nvidia GeForce Now to allow gamers to play AAA titles while away from their PC or console.

Unlike a Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch that does all of the processing locally, games on this cloud handheld would be rendered and played on remove servers and streamed to the console. Players would simply interact with them locally on the handheld.

Today's announcement boils down to a teaser. Aside from a promised launch date later this year, we have no information on how much the system will cost or what it might even look like.

Logitech’s cloud gaming handheld could pack the Snapdragon 720G and a 6,000mAh battery
By Pranob Mehrotra @pranobmehrotra - August 31, 2022

Logitech is working in partnership with Tencent to bring a new cloud gaming handheld to the market later this year. While the company is yet to release any details about the device, a recent leak gave us our first look at its design. Now, we have a few details about its hardware.

A Google Play Console listing of the Logitech cloud gaming handheld reveals that the device will have the model number GR0006 and will pack the Qualcomm SM7125 SoC (AKA the Snapdragon 720G), the Adreno 618 GPU, and 4GB of RAM. The listing also reveals that the device will run Android 11 out of the box, and it includes a render that confirms the design we saw in the recent leak.

Based on these specs, we suspect that the Logitech G Cloud Gaming Handheld might just be an affordable console exclusively for cloud gaming services. It might not be great for mobile games, however, due to the older Snapdragon 720G chip, Adreno 618 GPU, and 4GB of RAM. If that’s the case, the Logitech G Cloud Gaming Handheld might prove to be a tough sell compared to a mid-range smartphone with a gaming controller.

Here is some more info, it doesn't look too bad. I must say that the Nintendo Switch Lite has been a huge disappointment to me, the videogames are way too expensive, and there aren't that many good titles.

And since I try to avoid using a WIFI I also don't make use of the app store. So I wouldn't be surprised if this Logitech console will become a success, especially because games on Android are becoming more powerful.
