Logitech’s handheld console, a handheld device announced by the peripheral giant in partnership with Tencent, saw the light of day with a prolific leak by Evan Blass.

The published renders show a Simple machine design, reasonable size and with a standard set of controls handheld gaming device.

It doesn’t have vents for active cooling, potentially suggesting that the Logitech G Gaming Handheld, as this console will be called, you won’t have demanding hardware hence the emphasis on cloud services that was mentioned in the official announcement.

Another of the pictures will show the Google Play store, Chrome and YouTube icons on the home page, which would indicate that this is a Logitech handheld it will support android apps and games.

Aside from these (unofficial) renders and the announcement of a partnership between Logitech and Tencent that will bring a cloud gaming handheld to market, little is known about the device. It is known to combine the hardware expertise of the gaming division of the peripheral giant, Logitech G, and Tencent Games in software services.

The machine can handle it more cloud gaming servicesXbox Cloud Gaming and NVIDIA GeForce NOW included, for “Make sure players can run triple AAA games”They said in the ad. And also everything that comes from Google Play and Android, as we can see in the leaked images.

You already know that since games run on remote servers, these types of consoles don’t need a high-end processor or GPU to run. But you will need an internet connection fast, reliable and with low latency. Another interesting thing will be the quality of the screen and handling of the device, along with the selling price another important factor, as well as the optimization of the games.

We’ll see. Steam Deck is a great catalyst to boost the handheld slot segment, but cloud gaming hasn’t caught on with the consumer, and the services that have tried it haven’t had the success they’d hoped for. Even a giant like Google could not respond to the huge expectations that Stadia created. It looks like Logitech’s handheld console will follow in Google’s footsteps.
