Verizon is the company responsible for all this that has joined Razer and Qualcomm to create what they define as the first handheld console capable of running games on 5G. Thanks to it we can have access to different services that run in the cloud, such as Xbox Cloud Gaming, although it will also allow us to play anything that is downloaded locally.
According to The Verge portal, it will use Qualcomm’s G3x, with a set of chips that will allow the image to be reproduced on 4K screens and the processor will be capable of running video games that move at 144 fps. Also, from the presentation video that you have below, it looks like it could have adaptive triggers.

On the other hand, the design is similar to Razer’s Kishi V2, with the difference that this is not a controller on which to place our mobile device, but a portable console. In addition, a big difference with Steam Deck, which could be one of its biggest rivals, is that Valve’s machine works with SteamOS and needs to pull Wi-Fi, while Razer’s works with 5G and runs on Android. .
To know the rest of the details, especially its price and the exact date on which it will go on sale, you will have to wait for october 15the day on which the RazerCon and the place where the Razer Edge 5G will be officially unveiled.
