News & Reviews:   handheld console

Handheld gaming consoles have mostly been the domain of PC brands, but that's not to say we won't see bigger brands making one. In fact, it seems Samsung is at least interested in developing such a console.

At the Game Developers Conference (GDC) yesterday, Qualcomm announced a new lineup of chips for gaming platforms. The Snapdragon G series consists of three chipsets - Snapdragon G3 Gen 3, Snapdragon G2 Gen 2, and Snapdragon G1 Gen 2 - intended for portable handheld consoles.

Will the next device from Samsung be a mobile console? According to 91Mobiles, the site found a patent for a mobile console with a foldable screen filed by Samsung Display. The console looks like a Nintendo Switch and ROG Ally when open and can be folded to be smaller. So, what should you know about it?

Nintendo has been dominating the handheld gaming console market with the Nintendo Switch in the last few years. Its position hasn't been threatened so far, but that could change in the future. In fact, sources claim that Qualcomm has something in the works.
