Razer Edge 5G Handheld Gaming Console With Qualcomm Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 SoC Launched: All Details
Razer Edge 5G was announced by the company at RazerCon 2022 as the company's first handheld gaming device. It is claimed to be the world's first dedicated 5G handheld console. Teased for the first time back at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) earlier this year, the company has partnered with Verizon to allow the Android gaming handheld device to stream games via Xbox Cloud, NVIDIA GeForce Now, or Steam Link. The device is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 Gaming Platform making it the first dedicated Android handheld to feature the processor.
