Asus is looking to take on NVIDIA and their NVIDIA Shield with their own handheld gaming console, as the device has recently turned up in some benchmarks.
The device was discovered in the AnTuTu benchmarks, it will be called the Asus Gamebox, and the benchmarks have revealed some specifications on this new Android gaming device.
The Asus Gamebox will come with a high definition display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, as yet there are no details on the exact size of the display.
Powerful Hardware Specifications
The new Asus Gamebox will feature a NVIDIA Tegra 4 processor with a clock speed of 1.9GHz, there is also an NVIDIA GeForce ULP graphics chip and 2GB of RAM. This combination of hardware is expected to deliver a smooth and responsive gaming experience, capable of handling even the most demanding Android games with ease. The Tegra 4 processor is known for its high performance and energy efficiency, which should help in extending the battery life of the device during long gaming sessions.
The Gamebox will also come with 8GB of built-in storage, which might seem limited given the size of modern games and apps. However, it is likely that the device will support expandable storage via a microSD card slot, allowing users to increase the storage capacity as needed. The version in the benchmarks featured Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, of course, this could change when the device launches. It is possible that Asus might upgrade the operating system to a more recent version of Android to ensure compatibility with the latest apps and games.
Potential Features and Launch Details
As yet we do not have any pictures of the new Asus Gamebox, and have no details on when it will launch. However, based on the specifications and the competitive landscape, it is expected that Asus will include additional features to make the Gamebox stand out. These could include customizable controls, a robust online gaming platform, and integration with popular gaming services. Additionally, Asus might offer a range of accessories such as game controllers, docking stations, and protective cases to enhance the gaming experience.
The success of the Asus Gamebox will largely depend on its pricing and the quality of the gaming experience it offers. If Asus can deliver a device that is competitively priced and offers a superior gaming experience, it could pose a significant challenge to the NVIDIA Shield and other handheld gaming consoles in the market.
