Some time ago there were leaks of a possible Logitech portable consolebut what we did not know at that time is that, as we can see in the press release of the company where the device has been announced, it would be an Android console with cloud gaming capabilities.
With this, we find the Logitech G CLOUD Gaming Handhelda console designed in collaboration with Tencent that supports cloud gaming via streaming with the Xbox Games Pass Ultimate and NVIDIA GeForce Now. In addition, users who purchase this console will also be able to play via streaming on their own Xbox, PC games on Steam via SteamLink, or on any other platform that allows its use from Android.
Among its specifications, we find a 7-inch Full HD screen with touch capabilities and a refresh rate of 60Hz, specifications that appear correct considering the size of the device and the fact that the streaming of games at more than 60Hz is still in its infancy.
Its controls seem interesting, because among them we find remappable buttons, a gyroscope and a haptic feedback system, Although until reviews of the device begin to come out, We will not be able to know if it is a system as faithful as that of the Nintendo Switch or that of the PlayStation 5.
With a weight of 463 grams, commitment to neutral carbon emissions, and more than 12 hours of autonomythe Logitech G CLOUD Gaming Handheld comes in at a price of $299.99 if we reserve it right now, with a regular retail price of $349.99, so it gets into a very competitive segment.
Editor’s Comment
Although it is a similar concept to that of the Nintendo Switch or the Steam Deck, The Logitech G CLOUD is a huge bet by Logitech on Portable Gaming, as the company is mainly known for its desktop Gaming peripherals, in addition to other peripherals considered excellent, such as its MX Master mouse. This allows them to arrive with an advantage in some aspects, but the scope of these is quite limited, so we will have to wait for the reviews, As I mentioned in the news, to know if it is a product worth buying.
Its price of 349 dollars, which is possibly higher in Spain, can be a huge handicap compared to other devices of this type that can be obtained at similar prices, since for example the basic version of the AYANEO Air costs 289 euros and is capable of doing more than this Logitech model by being able to run Windows, and therefore therefore, computer games locally without relying on a permanent Internet connection.
