A smartphone called PGS, it stands for Portable Gaming Solution. It is capable of dual booting Android Marshmellow 6 and Windows 10. However, Windows 10 is the primary OS, while Android is the secondary OS, to enable you to make calls, and install apps etc.. This smartphone can actually run PC HD games at a decent FPS, considering its portability

There are two version of the smartphone, one which is called PGS with a screen size of 5.7 and PGS Lite a screen size of 5.5. Below are the specs of both devices.

Specs:

CPU – Intel® Atom™ x7-Z8750 Quad-Core 2.4GHZ

DISPLAY – QHD IPS 2560×1440 (5.7*) (HD IPS 1280×720 (5.5*) for PGS Lite)

GPU – Intel® HD Graphics 600 MHz 16 cores

RAM – 8GB LPDDR3 1600 (4GB LPDDR3 1600 for PGS Lite)

OS – Windows® 10 (64-Bit), Android 6.0

STORAGE – 128GB SSD (64GB SSD for PGS Lite)

COMMUNICATION – 802.11a/b/g/n/ac + Bluetooth® 4.0 + 3G/LTE (without 3G/LTE for PGS Lite)

BATTERY – Li-Po 6120mAh battery (Li-Po 4080mAh battery for PGS Lite)

ADDITIONAL – USB 3.0 Host, HDMI 2.0 Host, 3.5mm combo, Built-in 5.0 speakers (2.0 for PGS Lite), Built-in cam and webcam (8.0MP/2.0MP) (5.0MP/1.3MP for PGS Lite), Second HD IPS display (4*), Telescopic analog sticks (basic analog sticks for PGS Lite).

SIZE – 164.1 x 84 x 1.8 mm (160.0 x 81 x 1.4 mm for PGS Lite)

WEIGHT – 320 g. (245 g. for PGS Lite)

Preliminary tests of the prototypes gave the following results:

Batman: Arkham City | medium-level graphics, HD-resolution, 27-32 FPS.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance | medium-level graphics, HD-resolution, 30-35 FPS.

Dark Souls 2 | medium-level graphics, HD-resolution, 32-37 FPS.

Mirrors Edge | minimum-level graphics, HD-resolution, 26-31 FPS.

Keep in mind that the images above are just demonstrating a prototype version of the device, and performance. With proper optimisation of the software, a boost in performance is expected. The final version of the device should also look different.

Smartphone or not smartphone, I WANT ONE!! ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

(This makes me feel as if I've just wasted my money on the GPD-XD I bought only last month! :cry:)

This thing is huge. That's not a smartphone lol.

5.7 inch is the norm nowadays for most people. I personally still cannot go anything above 5 inch. Besides, images I posted are just a prototype of the device. Their website has the actual final version, and how it's going to look like. It looks much smaller than that.

I seen this before, but call me biased if anyone wants, I think the best is the Nvidia shield branded stuff. It has actual console games on there such as resident evil5 metal gear rising revengence, borderlands and more. They also have cloud game stream service for subscribers ($7.99 per month) and PC game stream as long as you have compatible Nvidia gtx GPU cards in the system. It has 1080 p 60 fps and 4k video. Just my insight.

Worth the $200-$300 price tag.

I own one of these and it was worth every penny.

System actually looks pretty cool, I'd be willing to sell a 3DS or two to finance it if it was reasonably priced :P

Well the Nvidia shield devices work just as good if not better, and only range from $200 - $300 which depends on how much storage you would want. It may not be a cell phone, so it doesn't make calls, and there no bill to pay.

With Nvidia bragging about their tegra x1 mobile chipsets being better than PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and cost less than most other game consoles, while being limited to mostly android, it breaks limitations with actual console games (PC port) to prove its worth, and it made a good impression.

While that's true, this brings back fond memories of my Xperia Play :') If this system works as well as it's being advertised and isn't too unreasonably priced, I'll probably get one.

I don't even care about PC games too much but would like an Android tablet that could run more advanced things. Any that could run GameCube/Wii, N64, NDS, and maybe even modded Minecraft? always wanted to try it but never got a chance to, might be nice on a tablet

Nvidia shield devices can play PlayStation one games at 60fps using the Epsxe emulator, it even renders stuff in hd, is that powerful if it can run full console quality games featured on PlayStation 3 and PC.

I would try retroarch,but I have no idea how to navigate the menus so I wish they had a easier user friendly accessible interface for android and Wii

Gamecube/Wii, no. The only Android device that can even remotely run Gamecube games is the Shield TV, which is a set top box, and even that struggles with most everything that is slightly intensive. NDS can be run by just about anything, but N64 requires something more hefty. Your best bet is the Shield Tablet, which will run everything besides GC/Wii stuff just fine.

Well the wii emulators Are still premitive to android and so as the n64 and even the Dreamcast emulator.... The only one Dreamcast emulator on android. They are even trying ps2 emulators and not going so well... So with more time it would be possible

The shield TV is better than the wii u which is a shame to Nintendo and people discuss ps2 playability on it before, so I have confidence in sheid devices.

Sheild portable = tegra 4
Shield tablet = k1
Shield TV = x1 (best processor)

I am well aware, I own all the Shield devices. The Dolphin dev builds work ok on the Shield TV, but I don't think they can do much more with it performance-wise thanks to the ARM CPUs used. Dreamcast and N64 both work pretty well, there's not so much performance issues with those as it is just compatibility and accuracy. PS2 emulation won't be around for ages, it's simply too complicated for current portable devices period and probably will be so for another 5-6 years.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds

    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
