Okay, so there’s this new gadget, the OneXSugar. Sounds sweet, right? Well, it’s by the folks at OneXPlayer. They’ve been messing around with handhelds for a while—way before the Steam Deck craze. But what I’m really digging about their latest baby is it’s basically a love letter to Nintendo consoles. How quirky is that?
So, picture this: you’ve got a dual-screen handheld in your hands, right? At one point, it’s like you’re holding a Nintendo Switch. Turn your head, and bam, it’s a Nintendo 3DS. Transformations galore! I mean, it was teased ages ago, but they’ve finally shown us the deal, and Qualcomm is backing this with some serious tech guts. Snapdragon G3 Gen 3 anyone? Yeah, I’m a sucker for fancy numbers too.
But let’s not get too techy here; I’d rather gush about how cool it feels to flip it around. It’s got these whirly mechanisms. What even!? You’d swear someone mashed up a gadget workshop with a Transformer convention. Anyway… Qualcomm’s saying there’s a 30% boost over their older chips. Not entirely sure why that sticks in my head—probably because I fell into a rabbit hole of tech specs—but hey, cool stuff.
Okay, so more on the screens, right? You’ve got a 6.01″ main one, and then this 3.92″ buddy that flips out. Use them together, or be a rebel and go solo. I feel like this is why we love gadgets: choices! Also, the buttons remind me of a Switch—definitely design inspo right there. And yes, there’s RGB bling around the joysticks. Because, why not?
Now, not to start a tangent, but this thing kinda reminds me of a concept from the olden days of 2015. Anyone remember the Nintendo XDS hype train? I mean, this thing channels those vibes but hits hyper-speed. It’s like, remember when Nokia flip phones were all the rage? Yeah, that.
Back to reality—this thing looks sleek and quirky all at once, like if minimalism had a fling with utilitarianism. There’s this curve at the bottom, almost camera-like… definitely not a water buddy though. Take my word for it.
Gaming-wise, it’s more of an emulator dream, maybe stick Windows on it if you’re ambitious. But don’t hold your breath thinking it’ll dethrone a Steam Deck. Maybe that’s a relief? Less pressure, more fun.
And oh, they’re crowdfunding this on Indiegogo, so if you’re feeling adventurous, you can try getting in early. No clue on the pricing—it’s a mystery waiting to unfold. Patience is key, my friend.
Anyway, there’s your scoop. Go follow Tom’s Hardware if you want more geeky musings in your news feed. They know their stuff. Okay, I’m done rambling. Cheers!
