So, what makes the Pocket Go stand out? For starters, it’s super lightweight, earning it the title of the lightest handheld console out there. But don’t let its size fool you; this device packs a serious punch with its 8-core Ryzen 7 8840HS processor that ramps up to a speedy 5.1 GHz. Plus, it’s got a fancy cooling system, featuring a fan and copper pipes similar to what you’d find in a laptop, to keep things running smoothly.
But the real game-changer here is the AR glasses. Instead of staring at a tiny screen, you’ll be looking through glasses with tiny 0.71 inch Micro OLED screens, giving you the sensation of a massive 215-inch display. It’s like having a giant TV screen all to yourself, without actually needing the TV.
The glasses aren’t just about size; they’re smart too. They come with micro-OLED tech that simulates viewing a gigantic screen from a cozy distance. Plus, they’re adjustable for different vision needs, going up to 600 degrees. And the console itself? It’s about half the size and 30% lighter than other Windows gaming handhelds, making it super portable.
Tecno didn’t stop there. The Pocket Go boasts a robust 8-core, 16-thread CPU that can reach frequencies of up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a clever cooling system with a fan and three copper pipes, alongside a 50 Wh battery that you can swap out.
And to bring it all together, the Pocket Go is paired with the Tecno Smart Box. This hub lets you manage your games and settings with ease. Plus, it bridges the Pocket Go and the AR glasses with other Tecno gadgets, turning it into a portable powerhouse for both work and play.
