As per the recent announcement, gaming conglomerate Tencent Games has joined hands with Logitech G to produce a handheld cloud gaming gadget that will allow users to enjoy AAA gaming titles, which is planned for release later this year. Prior to the gaming device's official unveiling, renowned phone enthusiast, Evan Blass revealed several leaked photos and relevant information about the same. 

In Evan's tweet, he included pictures (now deleted) of the back and front of the futuristic portable cloud gaming console, showcasing all of the buttons, the format of the display, and other information. According to the leaked pictures, the Logitech G Gaming portable device resembles other portable devices like the Nintendo Switch in terms of style.  

Like the Xbox, the gadget has four buttons on the front - X, Y, B, and A, in addition to two joysticks and one D-pad. Two buttons have been placed at the top of the console which appear to be the ‘share’ and ‘option’ buttons. Two more buttons can be found at the bottom, one of which features the home icon and the Logitech G logo. The device's top has a memory card slot, a mute button, and a volume rocker. Players will also find four trigger buttons on the top side of the device: L1 and L2, R1 and R2. The Logitech G Gaming handheld gaming console has textured grips on the back for better control during long gaming sessions. 

The Google Play Store, Chrome, and YouTube applications on the device indicate that the handheld could be powered by an Android operating system with a custom skin on top. It also features Xbox Cloud Gaming, Nvidia GeForce Now, and Steam support. Additionally, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi communication options are expected. 

The cloud gaming portable console will "combine Logitech G's competence in hardware with Tencent Games' expertise in software services," according to a recent announcement from Logitech G and Tencent Games. The gadget will, as stated in the release, enable a variety of cloud gaming services, and both organizations are collaborating with the Xbox Cloud Gaming and Nvidia GeForce Now teams.
