MWC 2024 has commenced, running until February 29. Tecno is showcasing a diverse product lineup at the event, moving beyond smartphones. In addition to introducing the POVA 6 Pro, the company has revealed a handheld console named the Pocket Go. Tecno boasts that the Pocket Go stands out as the world's first AR gaming set.
Tecno's Innovative Approach to Handheld Gaming
The Tecno Pocket Go consists of a wireless controller and AR glasses known as AR Pocket Vision. This unique system is tailored to operate with AR glasses, a pioneering concept in the gaming industry, particularly within the handheld console sector that is gaining prominence. The Pocket Go operates on Windows.
The wireless controller resembles an Xbox controller in terms of button layout and a D-Pad. Tecno emphasizes that the Pocket Go is significantly smaller and lighter—50 percent and 30 percent, respectively—compared to other Windows handheld consoles such as ASUS ROG Ally.
Powerful Hardware and Immersive Features
Internally, the Tecno Pocket Go houses an AMD Ryzen 7 8840 HS processor running at 5.1GHz. It boasts 16GB of RAM, 1TB of storage, and a replaceable 50Wh battery unit. The device incorporates a cooling system with a fan and three copper heat pipes. Moreover, the AR Pocket Vision and Windows handheld can double up as a workstation by linking to other Tecno devices.
The AR Pocket Vision features a 0.71-inch micro OLED screen, capable of delivering a 215-inch viewing experience from six meters away. It offers adjustable diopter settings up to 600 degrees and can be customized for users wearing prescription glasses or lenses for enhanced comfort during usage.
Immersive Gaming Experience
Tecno promises that the Pocket Go delivers a 6D immersive gaming experience, complete with vision tracking, adaptive postures, ultra-precise vibrations, sensory synchronization, and more.
Tecno has not disclosed the release date or pricing details for the Pocket Go, leaving enthusiasts eagerly anticipating its official launch.
