Back in September, the China-based GPD announced the GPD Win 4 Windows handheld gaming console for the global market. The brand announced that it will start selling the console by the end of November; however, that date has come to pass and the consoles are still not up for purchase.

The brand has now announced a new date of mid-December, with its Indiegogo campaign already viewable in preview mode. Additionally, the company has also revealed the pricing of the console. According to the brand, the GPD Win 4 will cost US$799 when equipped with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. GPD will add US$100 for 1 TB of storage.

The Win 4 with 32 GB of RAM will also be offered by the company, but it will cost US$999. The 32 GB of RAM and 2 TB of storage version will cost US$1,199 on Indiegogo. A 4G module will also be offered by GPD for $100 USD. The firm emphasises that these prices will not be “super early bird” or “early bird” prices that only a select few can access, but rather will be in effect for the whole crowdfunding campaign.

Specs-wise, the GPD Win 4 has a 6-inch Full HD display that has an aspect ratio of 16:9 with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Under the hood, it has an AMD Ryzen 7 6800U APU with a Radeon 680M available onboard. Users also get the option to hook up an eGPU to their console using its USB-C ports if they want additional graphics power.

The console will come with up to 32GB of LPDDR5 (6400 MT/s) RAM and up to 2 TB PCIe NVME SSD option. If physical buttons are not your style of gaming, the GPD Win 4 also boasts GPD “optical finger navigation,” which is effectively a touchpad made for smaller handheld devices like these. Once you slide the display up, the console also has a built-in keyboard underneath.

GPD, the Shenzhen-based consumer electronics tech startup, known for its best-selling gaming handhelds such as its GPD Win 3, and GPD XP, has announced today the GPD Win 4 – the brand’s next-generation Windows gaming handheld that features AMD’s high-end Ryzen 7 6800U CPU and up to 2 TB of NVME SSD storage.

The GPD Win 4 is a Windows gaming handheld console by GPD that runs on GPD’s Playnite UI skin on top of Windows, to allow for better navigation across the smaller form factor. It has a 6-inch Full HD display that has an aspect ratio of 16:9 with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Though GPD didn’t disclose the refresh rate or the type of display (OLED or IPS LCD) used on the console.

As for the performance of the GPD Win 4, this small gaming monster is packing AMD’s Ryzen 7 6800U under the hood, alongside a Radeon 680M integrated GPU onboard for better graphics when gaming on the go. And if the onboard dedicated graphics are not sufficient enough, users will be glad to hear the GPD Win 4 also includes eGPU support on its USB C ports as well, for those who wanted to play more graphic-intensive games on the device with their dedicated graphics card.

The GPD Win 4 will be available with either 16 GB or 32 GB of LPDDR5 (6400 MT/s) RAM, and for onboard storage, buyers can choose either the 1 TB or 2 TB PCIe NVME SSD option.

Coming to the build, the GPD Win 4 weighs around 500 grams, and is built with a matte polycarbonate chassis. The handheld’s overall design seems to take inspiration from Sony’s Playstation Portable (PSP) with its uniquely curved sides along with similar-looking control buttons as well. The console also has a built-in keyboard underneath once you slide the display up, and if physical buttons do not fit your gaming tastes, then the GPD Win 4 also features GPD “optical finger navigation”, which is essentially a touchpad designed for smaller handheld devices like these.

The device will feature 2 USB ports, one on top and one on the bottom, as well as both WiFi and 4G LTE Internet support to allow users to game anywhere at any time. 

The GPD Win 4 will be available for sale in limited quantities starting October 2022, and the device will be available in either Silver White or Black color options for interested buyers to choose from.
