Even before the era of smartphones, the market of handheld consoles offered players many interesting proposals. The main manufacturers of this type of equipment were Sony and Nintendo. Sony was responsible for the development of PlayStation Portable and PlayStation Vita. Currently, the market looks completely different considering the possibilities of smartphones, although Nintendo is still present with its Switch console, which can act as both stationary and portable equipment. Sony, on the other hand, is considering the return of portable consoles to its portfolio.
The new device, so far called PlayStation Q Lite, is to be in the testing phase. It is possible that we will learn the details of the project at the PlayStation Showcase in June. At the moment, everything indicates that the hardware would be dedicated to playing in the cloud via Remote Play, for which it would be necessary to run the game directly on PlayStation 5 and transfer it to a remote console. Q Lite console would receive an 8-inch screen, and its design would resemble the DualSense pad.
