Abxylute, a fresh entrant in the gaming handheld industry, has recently released its first gaming console after showcasing it in a preview two months ago. The Abxylute Handheld console is based on Android and has the ability to run game streaming services like NVIDIA GeForce Now, Xbox Cloud Gaming, or Steam Link.

The Abxylute handheld console features a 7-inch IPS display with a 1080p resolution, a 16:9 aspect ratio, and a 60Hz refresh rate. The display is capable of reaching a peak brightness of up to 450 nits. The gaming handheld also comes with configurable hall effect joysticks and triggers, as well as a 19Wh (5,200mAh) battery rated to last up to 8 hours of game streaming. Weighing in at 430g, the Abxylute runs on the MediaTek MT8365 chipset, which provides enough power to run Dreamcast and N64 titles smoothly.

The Abxylute is currently available for order on Kickstarter in black or white finishes, with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage for $189. Alternatively, customers can opt for the same RAM but with double the storage for $199. However, the current prices are part of the Early Bird promotion and will end on Friday. The prices will go up to $209 and $219 respectively after the promotion ends. All SKUs of the Abxylute come with a screen protector and case and are expected to start shipping in May 2023.

With its competitive pricing and capable hardware, the Abxylute is poised to make a mark in the gaming handheld market. The device is expected to provide a viable alternative to the Logitech G Cloud and other similar devices in the market.

Handheld gaming consoles are making a comeback in the market. Nintendo with its Switch consoles previously dominated the handheld market. However, Steam Deck’s resounding success and availability of multiple game streaming services have enabled a resurgence of competition in the segment.

Now, a new startup going by Abxylute has announced its plans to launch an Android-based gaming handheld to the market. Being an Android-powered console, it will provide the ability to stream games from services like NVIDIA GeForce Now, Xbox Cloud Gaming, or Steam Link.

Considering that the console will feature a MediaTek MT8385 (Genio 350) chipset, the emulation of consoles like the PSP is likely out of the question. However, the MediaTek Genio 350 chip should be powerful enough to run retro games on the console.

For context, the MediaTek 8385 has a Mali-G52 GPU and four ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores running at 2 GHz. The chipset is paired up with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM, 64GB of expandable storage, and a 5,000mAh battery. The display is a 7-inch IPS LCD panel with 1080p resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate. According to the company, the console will be quite easy to grip and carry around as it measures only 250 x 115 x 30 mm and weighs 410 grams.

Abxylute is now planning to sell gaming handhelds for US$200 to early adopters and US$250 RRP. Abxylute has not yet provided a particular release date, but it is aiming for a Q1 2023 debut.
