With the saturation of the smartphone market, many manufacturers are exploring other market modules, among which the handheld, is an almost enduring product category. The reason is simple, the rise of the handheld machine is very long, and it has endured for so many years.
However, the impact of smart phones on the handheld is definitely there, so there has always been a very key term in the field of handheld: exclusivity. Exclusive game, it is worth this game can only be played on a single platform, so it will attract a large number of loyal players. This is also an important reason why handhelds, including switch, PS5 and game consoles, can last forever.
However, after all, the handheld machine is very profitable, so there are still manufacturers who want to share a piece of the pie. For example, this Nintendo Switch; however, after all, there is no strength to develop its own platform and games, so the biggest feature of this type of game handheld is the Android system.
And this design also makes this kind of product, in fact, similar to the Android small tablet with a handle.
Of course, such a tablet will come with the function of a gamepad, no matter how hardware design and feel, at least to have, can be played.
Coupled with the deeply customized interface, it still looks very professional.
However, this handheld product, in fact, for professional gamers, the attraction is almost equal to 0.
First of all, although the Android system has countless applications and games, but because mobile phones and tablets can be played, it is not necessary to buy an Android handheld in addition to mobile phones and tablets. After all, the handheld can be played, mobile phones, tablets can be played, in addition to higher resolution, higher configuration. This Nintendo Switch, using an outdated Snapdragon 845 processor + 1080P LCD screen, the performance has been outdated.
Secondly, the joystick and buttons of the handheld are not outstanding, if they are matched in this way, it is even better to buy a better domestic controller to cooperate with the mobile phone. After all, at present, many excellent domestic peripheral manufacturers use a large number of new technology handles, the feel will be better, and the effect with mobile phones will be better.
Therefore, I personally think that Android is in charge of the machine, which is quite suspected of IQ tax. There may also be people who think that there are advantages in handheld opportunities such as vibration motors, but in fact, the X-axis linear motors of the current flagship mobile phones, and even some game phones are equipped with dual X-axis linear motors and super heat dissipation systems, which are far from being comparable to this cheap Android handheld.
Although similar handhelds are priced at only about a thousand yuan, the attraction is really too small. (PS: This Android handheld is called a huge commercial failure by the well-known foreign media The verge, which shows that it is indeed not popular)
