Logitech G Cloud Gaming Handheld, Portable Gaming Console with Long Battery Life, 1080P 7-Inch Touchscreen, Lightweight Design, Xbox Cloud Gaming, NVIDIA GeForce NOW, Google Play - UK plug - White

I purchased this so I can stream my PS5, XBox Series X and Steam PC Games, directly to the Logitech G Cloud while in my home. This frees up the TV and allows for playing in locations other than the living room.For this, it works perfectly. If you want to stream games from a home console to this portable hand held console while at home, this is AMAZING!Streaming games while away from home, either directly from one of my consoles, or via XBox Cloud gaming, is a bit hit or miss. Super responsive twitch style games will be disappointing when your 4G/5G signal is patchy. With a good 4G/5G signal or from someone else's (good) WiFi, this can work really well. It could be a great option if you are away from home, but have access to a good WiFi connection.When away from home with poor internet, I just switch to playing emulated games. This is something it can do without a internet connection, loading emulators and games directly from an SD card (1TB max).Build quality is excellent, I'm really impressed with the screen quality and the feel of the controls. It feels like a high quality controller with a screen.Battery life is beyond good. They aren't exaggerating when they say it has a 12 hour battery life.Honestly, the only "disappointing" thing about the Logitech G Cloud Handheld, is the price. It ain't cheap at £329!

As a 40 something adult, I grew up in the era of the Atari/Master System / Megadrive etc remembering the days of buying a game based on box art to find out it was awful *cough* technocop...Anyhow, fast forward to modern times and whilst I left the console days behind just after the Super Nintendo and moved to Amiga, then PC, I have had an XBOX (except the first one!) since, and have subscribed to the game pass to benefit the PC use as well as the XBOX.What I found, was, with a growing family, time to game became less and less... Especially using the TV, so enter the G Cloud... OK< prior to this I have dabbled with Odin's and Anbernics/Powkiddy retro units...Cloud Streaming - YESRetro gaming (google it, it's easy to do) - YESComfortable - YESSo the streaming works both in that you can sign in using your XBOX Game Pass account and play many cloud streamed games (there are a lot, and constantly more being added).And also, you can set up your home XBOX to 'stream' so you can play the games that are not on game pass, by using your home XBOX - brilliant.Cons - You do need a good internet connection, after all it is a streaming device first and foremost, and yes from time to time there is a glitch here and there during gameplay but ultimately nothing is ever flawless with technology, and for the main, this has been an outstanding purchase.Not to mention, for those retro console lovers that is all 'offline' so works perfectly!Battery life has been mentioned before, it's absolutely solid!So I would say, if you are thinking about getting one, go for it, these have become more and more popular recently, and rightly so!

Frustrating review to leave.Lets do the good first, before we talk about the bad...The good. The hardware, for what its designed, is bang on! Lightweight, ideal screen size, and a killer battery life. Overall 'feel' is very good and immediately you are enjoying the experience when setting it up. Screen is vivid, and the snapdragon 725G is snappy enough that you're not waiting in-between button presses.The bad. XBox game pass (Cloud gaming) is SO inconsistent. Even with a good internet connection, and 5GHZ MESH connections at home, its was a stuttery mess. All the settings on both the device and the router suggested strong connections, but it was to no avail. Steam link was better, and the challenges I faced were more specific to Steam link - but it was the XBox Cloud service I had my eye on. I even read that you need to download the 'new' XBox cloud app from the play store, which I did, but it probably improved the experience by around 20% or so. It was still unplayable. (For context, I've had similar issues with the XBox cloud app using my Samsung Ultra Tab 8 - so its definitely XBox being the issue)I didn't try the Geoforce cloud service but I do believe its much better. The problem with this is the cost, and the fact you're likely paying to play games you have already paid for and own anyway. Android games run well, but I don't play many of the AAA title android games, and I hear the aging 725G struggles with them in places.In summary - great device but with a slightly old chipset, which is let down by the streaming services themselves more than Logitech's effort at building the ideal portable unit.

Ok so heres some background. I'm a mid 40's Dad, I am an OG gamer from way back. I have 3 kids, a dog and a wife. I have virtually no time to game, and when I do late at night, well I just fall asleep.So this little machine has been brilliant, I can play in short bursts on the sofa if the kids or Mrs are watching something.You do need good internet, but the cloud streaming from gamepass is brilliant, the screen and resolution/fps are perfect for handheld. And remote streaming is pretty decent too, I've played hours now on Far Cry 6, and it's never disconnected at all. So many AAA titles now in handheld.I do own a switch oled, but that's going to get sold now as this device is so good.I cannot tell you what it's like outside the home tethered, as I haven't tried this, and well it's not what I brought it for. But it's an android tablet, so I've just put Football Manager on it for if I'm ever away from home. As you can store android games on it. But everything else needs internet.If you situation is the same as mine then I can totally recommended it, it's a bit pricey, but I've sold my switch, so my net cost was low.Oh and so so comfortable to hold too, much better than switch. 😎
