Logitech G Gaming Handheld will be the name of the fruit of the efforts between Logitech G (the gaming division of the brand) and the Chinese giant Tencent Games. This portable console will rely on "Cloud Gaming" technology to provide a quality experience to its users worldwide when it is officially released.
What we know so far about this handheld is thanks to the leak from Evan Blass, a user formerly known as "evleaks", who always has the scoop on gadgets, whether it's smartphones or dedicated to video games. On this occasion, the twitterer gave the warning, only for the uploaded images to be claimed by their owners and deleted hours later. Fortunately, they were able to be preserved in time.

What we know about the Logitech G Gaming Handheld
Unfortunately, fans who want to know technical details regarding hard drive, RAM, GPU, and more will be disappointed for now, as we only have the images that were provided through Twitter. However, several specialists have agreed that the processor would be the Snapdragon G3x Gen 1. This chip not only guarantees that the laptop will use Android, but also that it will be dedicated to gaming.
According to the options seen in the menu of the Logitech G Gaming Handheld, users will be able to access their Steam library (using Remote Play), Google Play, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and Nvidia GeForce Now.
This portable console, which reminds us a lot of a Nintendo Switch in the way it distributes its controls, seems to have all the necessary buttons and joysticks to play. Apart from that, the presence of a "Home" button, to return to the menu leaving the current game in the background, and a button with the Logitech G emblem, are also highlighted.
Separate mention deserves what is seen on one of its sides, where we see what appear to be volume buttons, a power switch, and also a slot for SD memory cards.
What is cloud gaming?
Remember that this portable console will rely on "Cloud Gaming" to play its games. This is what the video game industry seems to be aiming for, and we will explain what it consists of.
Cloud gaming does not require any kind of configuration. The cloud server allows users to play on any device, anytime and anywhere, as long as the broadband connection is constant. In this sense, when playing in streaming mode, more data capacity will be needed, so it is essential to have excellent Internet access speed.
Another advantage of cloud gaming is the subscription method. Primarily, it offers a huge catalog of games to choose from. That freedom to choose from a variety of titles is something that interests many gamers. However, the cost of the subscription and a good internet service must be considered.
