[TheLostSwede]

Expected to be announced later today, Logitech's G Cloud handheld gaming device has been leaked courtesy of Amazon Canada. Although the full specs are yet to be revealed, we now know a lot more about the device. For starters, it'll have a 7-inch 1080p touch screen with 60 Hz refresh rate. The G Cloud weighs in at 463 grams and is said to offer 12 hours plus battery life. Other hardware features include dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.1 and USB-C connectivity.

On the software side, it appears that the G Cloud runs custom version of Android with support for not only Google Play apps, but also NVIDIA's GeForce Now and Microsoft's Xbox Cloud Gaming streaming services. The G Cloud also supports haptics, remappable controls and it has a built in gyroscope which suggests that the entire device can be used for controlling supported games. According to Amazon Canada, the release date is the 18th of October.

$350.
It is DoA.

The $350 Logitech G Cloud Gaming Handheld will arrive in October

The real joke is that you can get a comparable smartphone at ~$250 or less, plus a few extra bucks for a gamepad.

Really bad timing for a WW-NA release of Yet Another Android Gaming Handheld.
1. The import market for such devices is already super-saturated.
2. Said saturated market is already solidly lead by 1 or 2 brands.
(Unlike Valve, I can count to: )
3. The Steam Deck and X86-64 APU Handheld PCs are 'the new hotness'. That term is not used sarcastically or unenthusiastically; that popularity and 'buzz' is well-earned.
4. Desktop GPUs (and NAND-NVMe) are in free fall. PC gaming is gaining popularity, even in the economic downturn (IMO).

Logitech would be wise to dedicate a minimum of support to this, and instead focus efforts on an SD-clone. Their name-recognition in the PC gaming space could be well-used to establish themselves above the import brands this Android unit is competing with. (As well as said-competition's X86-64 Handhelds)
