Verizon is set to launch the Razer Edge 5g, the world’s first 5G handheld game console, powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon G3X Gen 1 Gaming Platform. Features include a 6.65″ OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, “Snapdragon Sound” four-way speakers, a USB-C connection, a built-in 1080p webcam, and Wi-Fi 6 / 6E for low latency, fast upload / download speeds.

Thanks to AKSys support, the Razer Edge 5G provides precise touch to controller mapping technology to enable use of the built-in controllers across a wide array of games. It’s also capable of multi-screen, augmented experiences that can be unlocked with the ability to tether to an XR viewer via USB-C to a Snapdragon G3x powered device. We’ll have to wait until RazerCon on October 15th to find out when it will actually be released, along with pricing information. For now, you could always modify an LG Wing and turn it into a dual-screen game console.
