Logitech handheld console unveiled: a format very similar to Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch Lite, with more cloud gaming capabilities.
A few weeks ago, Logitech announced that it was working with Tencent on a handheld console, a device that “will be compatible with multiple cloud gaming services”including NVIDIA GeForce Now and Xbox Cloud Gaming. Today, it seems like we already have our first glimpse of this console thanks to prolific insider Evan Blass. We also know that the device should be called G Gaming Handheld, since that name is published on a dedicated page.

The console in question is similar to many other handheld consoles with left and right sticks, a navigation pad, ABXY buttons, a home button, triggers, and a dedicated “G”button. The other image also shows what the home screen might look like with Google Play Store, Xbox, GeForce Now, Steam, Chrome, and YouTube icons. There are also icons for user profile, messages, settings, and power.
The format is very similar to Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch Lite.
This G Gaming Handheld can easily be compared to Steam Deck or even Nintendo Switch Lite in terms of overall design. The cloud gaming aspect also means that the console will have a very similar experience to that of a smartphone, obviously with a more hands-on format and a more video game-focused user interface. In fact, it could compete not only with other portable consoles, but also with many controllers thought out and designed for smartphones, such as the Razer Kishi V2, 8bitDo Pro 2 and other SteelSeries Stratus +.

Therefore, the success of this console will largely depend on the price at which it will be offered. And on this issue we currently have no guidance. Like the launch date, by the way. The most inquisitive can subscribe to the newsletter to keep abreast of the progress of the project.
