We witnessed the official unveiling of Logitech G Cloud, Logitech, and Tencent's awaited portable console with Xbox Cloud and GeForce Now in the LogiPlay media setting.

The new device developed by the Swiss video game accessory manufacturer in collaboration with Chinese conglomerate Tencent has a form factor similar to the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck, with plenty of buttons and access to advanced game streaming features.

On the specs front, the Logitech G Cloud boasts dimensions of 256.8 x 117.2 x 32.9 millimeters and is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G chip, an octa-core CPU up to 2.3GHz, and a multitouch IPS LCD screen with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution.

In the console hardware, we also find stereo speakers and a 3.5mm input for microphones and headphones, as well as an AUX port, Bluetooth 5.1 connection, and USB-C headphone support. The average battery life (in gaming sessions) is reported to be around 12+ hours.
