New Qualcomm Snapdragon G3x Processor for Power Razer’s Nintendo Handheld Game Console
According to new leaks, it looks like Qualcomm and Razer are currently working on a portable gaming console based on the new Qualcomm Snapdragon G3x processor. A powerful new processor will open up all sorts of opportunities for manufacturers, and Razer is looking to capitalize on the explosive growth of the mobile gaming industry by creating a robust new offering.
Razer phones have seen decent success, but it looks like this new handheld gaming device could be the next step in the evolution of handheld gaming. A leaked dev kit shows off a 120Hz HDR OLED display and a massive 6,000mAh battery. Unlike downloading games, the device looks like it’s designed to stream games from services like the Xbox Game Cloud.

The images and details of the Razer and Qualcomm Developer Kit immediately got fans thinking about how the device could be set up next to a Steam Deck or even a Nintendo Switch. Right now, fans have only taken a look at the dev kit and not the final device itself, so comparisons might be a bit premature right now.
Qualcomm’s upcoming G3x processors boast some pretty impressive claims, such as a CPU that’s 30 percent more power efficient and 20 percent faster. Demand for more powerful handheld game consoles is on the rise, especially since Nintendo doesn’t seem to be too interested in the Switch Pro variant at the moment.
Perhaps Razer will be able to meet the high gaming needs of the audience, and this development kit will allow studios to develop games optimized for the new device. The Razer handheld gaming device’s claimed specs look pretty interesting, with a 120Hz refresh rate screen, 1080p webcam, and “incredible ergonomics and tactile feel.”
