According to major foreign media, the game machine will have a detachable Joy-Con style controller on both sides of the device, and will have a larger and thicker shape than a smartphone display liquid crystal. This maximizes the processing speed and thermal management performance of the built-in Snapdragon processor, showing more efficient performance than existing smartphones. In addition, the game console will be equipped with Qualcomm’s Quick Charge technology and 6000mAh battery.
It includes an expandable SD card slot similar to the switch, and supports display output that can be played on an external TV or monitor, but it is not known whether it supports mini HDMI or USB-C type ports for charging.
The operating system of this game device is Android 12, and it supports the Google Play app and related service suites. Qualcomm said it is considering collaboration to support the titles of Fortnite’s developer Epic Games, and is planning to build its own content portal.
Qualcomm’s console launch target was revealed in the first quarter of 2022. It is likely that the next generation of the Snapdragon 888 chip will be installed, but it is unclear whether the game console custom chip design will be used or the smartphone chip will be used as it is. It also includes several features such as Bluetooth and GPS. Qualcomm is expected to set a target price for the new console game console at $300 (about 340,000 won).
