Tecno has introduced the Pocket Go, a unique handheld gaming device that requires external displays or AR glasses, which are sold separately.

Unveiled at MWC 2024, the Pocket Go combines a handheld console with AR technology, aiming to enhance the gaming experience.

The device is now available for pre-order on Kickstarter, generating significant anticipation among gamers.

Pre-order pricing starts at $869 for the Pocket Go and the AR Pocket Vision glasses, with shipping expected in December 2024.

The AR glasses, which provide a simulated 215-inch viewing experience, are priced at $349 at launch, with future increases planned.

The Pocket Go connects to the AR glasses via two USB Type-C ports, lacking HDMI or full-sized DisplayPort options.

Designed for portability, the device features a 50Wh built-in battery, weighs only 550 grams, and is optimized for casual gaming.

Powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 8840 HS processor, the Pocket Go includes 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage for robust performance.

While it offers 512GB of replaceable storage, the device comes with 16GB of LPDDR5-6400 memory that cannot be upgraded.

The Pocket Go features an efficient cooling system and a replaceable battery, enhancing usability during extended gaming sessions.

Tecno aims to deliver a 6D gaming experience through the Pocket Go, incorporating advanced features like vision tracking and adaptive posture.

However, the crowdfunding pricing is considered high, and Tecno may need to adjust prices to stay competitive in the market.
