| Qualcomm is developing an Android-based mobile gaming platform |
The report shows that Qualcomm is developing a mobile gaming platform that runs on Android, similar to the Nintendo Switch.
The mobile gaming platform is powered by Qualcomm chipset and is expected to be available next year.
According to the information, the mobile gaming platform includes a Joy-Con-like detachable controller, an SD card slot, Android 12 and 5G, as well as a huge 6000 mAh battery.
Although the physical size is not known yet, the screen could be 6.65 inches with a minimum resolution of 1080p (Nintendo Switch's 6.2-inch screen with a resolution of 720p).
This handheld game console looks like a large smartphone with connected controls and active cooling.
Although the Nintendo Switch looks like a gigantic phone, it has a library of games that no one else can play. This is the greatest job.

The Realme GT 5G is equipped with Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 888 processor, which is the cheapest phone at $ 430 and is only sold in China.
One source believes the product is more of a modular design than any other product that hits the shelf.
Chip manufacturers, including Qualcomm, usually create hardware samples to help other manufacturers develop devices based on their processors.
Sometimes, these standard products are ultimately sold under different brands by other companies and these are called white label products.
It should be noted that the dispute over the source may be caused by uncertainty at Qualcomm itself, as the source believes that the project will still need a full year from completion, so the company may not be sure yet what to do. Become.
Whether or not the device becomes a product, it appears that Qualcomm is designing and manufacturing hardware devices for Android gaming as interest in the mobile gaming market continues to grow.
