Logitech has lastly revealed its newest Android handheld. After months of leaks, the Logitech G Cloud handheld is now out for all to see, and it doesn’t look very particular in any respect. 

Designed solely for cloud-based gaming, the upcoming machine appears like a weak, costly machine for a restricted viewers. Will or not it’s a value a purchase order? 

What is the Logitech G Cloud? 

Running on a personalized Android frontend, the Logitech G Cloud is an all-in-one cloud gaming machine. While you possibly can run some Android video games on the machine, it’s designed initially for streaming. 

This is obvious by its moderately weak mid-spec internals. You’ll discover a Snapdragon 720G processor, simply 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM and a awful 64GB of UFS storage. Thankfully, there’s a microSD slot for further reminiscence. 

However, you doubtless gained’t be utilizing a lot of that storage for video games because the Logitech G Cloud is designed to stream as a substitute. You’ll discover that the system is designed to make use of companies reminiscent of Xbox Game Pass, GeForce Now and different companies. 

On the opposite hand, Logitech clearly hasn’t designed the system to be a transportable cloud gaming system. This is as a result of the system utterly lacks SIM card help. Yep, you possibly can solely stream video games with WiFi, not 5G. 

Furthermore, the tepid specs signifies that this gained’t actually service as an emulation station. You gained’t be capable of run the finest GameDice Emulator or finest PS2 emulator on this. Well, at the least not for many video games. 

How a lot is it? 

With such weak specs, we have been hoping that the machine would at the least be low cost. However, at a value of $349.99, it’s rather more costly than we’d like. 

For comparability, the Nintendo Switch begins at $299. The least expensive Steam Deck begins at simply $50 extra at $399. For its value, the Logitech G Cloud isn’t providing wherever close to sufficient. 

Nevertheless, the brand new Android handheld launches subsequent month. On October seventeenth, you’ll be capable of decide up your very personal machine, if you wish to.
