OnePlus has officially confirmed that it is experimenting with a handheld gaming console, marking a potential expansion beyond its core smartphone business. The confirmation came from a company executive during a livestream, where an early concept sketch of the device was briefly shown.

Sony has already planned the release timeline for the next-gen PlayStation gaming console. According to the latest report, the Japanese company could debut the PlayStation 6 in 2027.

Sony recently rolled out a new update for the PlayStation 5 (PS5) which allows gamers to play games at 1440p resolution. Announced via a blog post yesterday, the new update is now available globally after 1440p was first tested by the PS5 beta participants.

It has been more than a year since the release of the PS5, but it is still on pre-order due to limited stocks. However, things might start to change as Sony has decided to ramp up the production to meet the high demand for the gaming console.

4K gaming is basically a must-have spec in the new generation of gaming consoles. Besides that, Microsoft is bringing its Xbox Series X / S consoles to the next level for visual by introducing Dolby Vision gaming support.

A few minutes ago, Nintendo dropped a surprise announcement of the latest Switch (OLED Model) and had the fans went berserk. It turns out that the rumour is true about the new gaming console having an OLED display.
