Handheld gaming devices are a dime a dozen these days and more and more companies are joining the fray on almost a weekly basis. At Computex, XPG was showing its upcoming handheld gaming device—currently known as the NIA—and it has several interesting features that most of their competitors haven't mentioned so far. The potentially most interesting feature that XPG has implemented is an LPCAMM2 module with support for up to 64 GB of LPDDR5x memory. XPG didn't list how much RAM the NIA will ship with, but 16 or 32 GB seems like the logical choices.

The device will be powered by AMD's Phoenix APU, but no details were given. XPG has implemented support for foveated rendering, which the company claims is an exclusive feature. This is courtesy of a front-facing camera with eye tracking, but it's unclear how exactly it'll work, since it won't be exactly the same as in a VR headset. The NIA will ship with an XPG Gammix S55 SSD, which is an M.2 2230 PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive with sizes of up to 2 TB. XPG also claims that the NIA is built for a "circular computing product lifecycle" whatever that means, but we're guessing it has something to do with using recycled materials and being recyclable. The screen size of the 1080p, 120 Hz display wasn't mentioned, but the screen can be tilted for better ergonomics and is supposed to deliver up to 500 nits brightness. The NIA also has a built-in kickstand.

Let this be just a prototype, because those face buttons and d-pad are hideous. But hell yes, bring LPCAMM to them portables!

I believe it's a mockup. I know the guy in charge, so I'll ask him after Computex, as he's kind of busy atm.

LPCAMM2 support is great for handhelds, now people can stop going to ridiculous lengths to upgrade their 16GB handhelds, only to find there's not much difference anyway :D
That colour scheme is certainly...a choice yes! This has reminded me though, I need to RMA my dead XPG SSD!

Phoenix is not upcoming, it's already on the market as the 8600G and 8700G, not to mention mobile chips.

Perhaps it is powered by the upcoming Strix Point instead?

I will quote statement from internal trainigs from one of those makers.

Because gamers are bitchy customers.

And that is understandable, gamers do abuse devices, demand performance, cooling, stability... thus are prone more, on other office problems you can blame microsoft. These toy makers are not in the mindset of nintendo, sony etc and how to cope with it really... they want fast money, but the backstabbing wave of RMA because of creating shit devices... you get the idea... we have case with Steve already.
