While Nintendo and Steam are aiming to capture the portable gaming market with their Switch OLED and Steam Deck consoles, GPD, a popular company in the portable gaming space, is looking to enter the mobile gaming space soon. The company is working on an Android-based portable gaming console with some unique features, as per reports.
Getting into some details, the GPD-XP will reportedly come with a 6.81-inch display, which surprisingly, has a punch-hole camera cutout at the bottom left corner. So, as you can imagine, the company sourced the display from smartphone display makers.
On the right, however, the device comes with support for a modular control system that enables users to magnetically attach a compatible controller. So, users can either attach a standard console-like controller with a second analog stick and the classic ABXY buttons or attach a controller with four face buttons. The latter will be extremely useful for gamers who are into MOBA (Massive Online Battle Arena) games.
Price and Availability
Coming to the price and availability of GPD-XP, there is no information as of now. As per the images shared by the company, the device looks to be almost ready for launch. So, Nintendo and Steam might have some competition from GPD in the coming days as the companies continue to try to capture the portable gaming space.
