Verizon announced Wednesday that it has partnered with Razer and Qualcomm to launch Android games, games streamed from the cloud and fixed-device game consoles using Google’s Android operating system.
The Razer Edge 5G gaming console uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon G3X Gen 1 system-on-chip specifically designed for portable gaming devices. Qualcomm announced his SoC less than a year ago, but has yet to release its specifications.
The only certainty is that the Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 gaming platform will support games up to 4K resolution at up to 144 frames per second, rendering with 10-bit HDR, Wi-Fi 6E and 5G connectivity (including sub-6 GHz). . and 5G mmWave connectivity). Additionally, the platform allows you to connect a 4K TV or display to consoles and XR accessories via USB-C ports.
With a 6.65-inch Full HD + OLED screen, Razer has created a reference software development kit for Qualcomm, but whether the Razer Edge 5G is based on a game-designer-based design. is unknown.
Razer has been trying to break into the console gaming (using Oyua) and portable gaming (using the Razer Phone) market for some time without any noticeable success. Perhaps the Razer Edge 5G will always be connected and basically rely on a remote gaming platform developed by a third party, and Android will be the more successful product.
