Next Generation Snapdragon G Series Portfolio Uplevels Handheld Gaming Experiences | Qualcomm

www.qualcomm.com

Highlights:

• The next generation of the Snapdragon G Series includes Snapdragon G3 Gen 3, Snapdragon G2 Gen 2, and Snapdragon G1 Gen 2, each tailored to deliver next-level performance and immersive gaming experiences.
• The Snapdragon G Series offers gamers the ability to choose to play cloud, console, Android, or PC games while on-the-go.
• Starting this quarter, OEMs including AYANEO, ONEXSUGAR and Retroid Pocket will have handheld gaming devices powered by new Snapdragon G Series platforms.

It's being speculated that the Retroid Pocket 6 will release later this year with the G2 Gen 2 chip, which has an approximately 200% faster GPU than the Snapdragon 865 used in the Retroid Pocket 5.

They also specifically mention the Ayaneo Pocket S2, the OneXPlayer ONEXSUGAR SUGAR 1 (quite the product name!), and the Retroid Pocket Classic.

It's actually a device I'm kind of interested in

Dual screen, foldable, clamshell design. Looks... familiar?

How many Switches 2 taped together are these?

Yep. That's pretty slick.

Yep. That's pretty slick.

Thing is pretty wild in motion

Like a Transformers toy from the 80s, changing from a Switch to a DS

Can it run Crysis?

I almost purchased a RGCube XX for its aspect ratio to emulate 3DS, because my retroid pocket 4 and Steam Deck’s aspect ratio isn’t the best for 3DS. But this looks much better for 3DS emulation

These new chips are about a 30% performance increase from the previous generation. Here's a Retro Game Corps review of the AYANEO Pocket EVO, which uses the Snapdragon G3x Gen 2



They didn't test Crysis (not even sure if it runs in Winlator yet), but some of the PC games they tested were struggling pretty badly on this device - What Remains of Edith Finch getting about 15fps at 1080p is pretty criminal, but probably down more to the fact that it's running via emulation.

That "d-pad" though.

Whole Crysis trilogy is playable with Winlator

And they run on High (not 3 tho) at native resolution in my 8g2

PC games on android is a sight to behold rn.

I've played AC 2/Brotherhood, Hitman Absolution, Crash 4, Alan Wake, Crysis 1/2/3/Warhead, Dead Space 1/2/3, Bioshock, Yakuza Zero and more.

People have no idea how advanced it already is

I want to see how this new chip compares to the Elite, the best of the best we have today.

 

[Griffon]

Can't run any PC games, meh.

Maybe it can.

I've been amazed at how well it's already running on my Odin 2. Crazy times.

The issue is pricing. If it’s $300-400 it would be understandable. If they charge more, it’s DoA.

But I will admit, this looks pretty cool.

Yeah, that looks like it’s asking to break something and RMA is in China.

That "d-pad" though.

Seems hard to hold too. And I am wary of those hinges breaking.

 

[Dural]

The thing with the G series from Qualcomm is that they're more powerful on paper than a similar Snapdragon 8, but in the real world they don't have as much support so don't perform up to the specs.

 

[Roman Empire]

Yep. That's pretty slick.

3DS 2

All it needs is little motors so it can transform itself automatically. And maybe make it from a single screen that folds in the middle.

Looks nice in a nostalgic ds manner but what would the second screen really be useful for outside 3ds emulation?
