Sony is planning to release another piece of hardware to go with its successful PlayStation 5 console. According to insider information, the company is working on a new handheld device codenamed "Q Lite".

The new device will support adaptive streaming at 1080p and 60 frames per second, ensuring high-quality visuals and smooth gameplay. Early Q Lite prototypes show a device that resembles a PlayStation 5 controller but has an 8-inch LCD touchscreen in the center. It will also have adaptive triggers for haptic feedback, volume buttons, speakers, an audio input jack, and other typical handheld device features.

soon

According to the source, the Q Lite is currently in the quality assurance phase and will be released before the rumored PlayStation 5 Pro, but after the PS5 with Detachable Disc Drive. This news follows Sony's recent push for Remote Play on the PlayStation 5, indicating that the company is looking to expand its gaming experience beyond the console.

concerns

While some gamers may be excited about the prospect of a new Sony handheld, others may be concerned about its requirement for constant internet connectivity. This may be difficult for those who do not have reliable internet connections or who prefer to game on the go without requiring a consistent internet connection.

the future

Only time will tell if the Q Lite is a success and if it can carve out a niche in the handheld gaming market dominated by Nintendo's popular Switch console. However, for PlayStation fans who want to take their PlayStation experience with them wherever they go, the Q Lite could be the answer.
