vfsdsd, 16 Jul 2021720p/7 inch screen with 2 hour battery. No thanksum 720p is smart because at that small screen size higher res difference is really so small just look at any phone u own watch 720 1080 or 1440 ull see differences but they are so small and would only increase price battery drain and everything...and speaking of battery even switch lowest bound/most intense games average 2 hours battery, point is u can lower settings and fps and get more battery and also a lot of use play at home plugged up laid back or it's what u have battery banks for, shrug

            ed, 16 Jul 2021and u can carry the xbox in your backpack and play on the go....The deck is 2 inches thick and nearly 1 foot long, might as well get a decent amd laptop

              This is heavy. 669 grams. Good for quick 30 min gaming session. Almost 2/5 of the power of an Xbox Series S (not X). Playing games at 720p. Around 349 USD for the base model with 64GB internal(very few AAA titles playable) with microSD support (they are slow). 600+ for some decent specifications. 2 hrs. battery backup for most high demanding AAAs.

                Hey GSMArena, just like that gamepad Android device, are you going to review this thing? It would be interesting to see how it holds up.

                  Anonymous, 16 Jul 2021Glad they choose an IPS screen. AMOLED just wears lit way t... moreAMOLED would've made the device energy efficient and contrasty. However, it would've also increased its cost. Besides, a 720p OLED sounds awful on paper

                    Just like Apple users not caring about android and their beefy specs.

                        There's a reason the switch, despite all the crying out there, is at 720p only.

                              720p/7 inch screen with 2 hour battery. No thanks

                                Cheaper than I was expecting. This as a concept has me confused though, the way I see it is that the biggest challenge this thing will have is appealing to the very audience it’s designed for, pc gamers.

                                Let’s be honest if it’s not running at 82k and 4000fps or higher then the pc lot are complaining about it.

                                Best chance this has of being successful is in running GamePass and being seen as a portable Xbox of sorts
