Logitech’s upcoming gaming portable is Android-based and focuses on game-streaming services like Nvidia GeForce Now and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
Logitech joins the portable gaming system fray today with its own surprise device. The company just announced the Logitech G Cloud, a gaming handheld similar to the Valve Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch Lite, but with its own specific focus.
Like its name implies, the G Cloud is aimed at cloud gaming, emphasizing game-streaming services like Nvidia GeForce Now, Steam Link, and Xbox Cloud Gaming over running games natively. It’s an Android-based device with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G chip, a 7-inch, 1080p IPS LCD touch screen, and dual-band 2×2 MIMO 802.11ac Wi-Fi.
It also features a full set of physical gamepad controls including dual analog sticks, a direction pad, four face buttons, four shoulder buttons, motion sensors, and force feedback.
The Snapdragon 720G processor seems weak for a portable gaming system.
