Players can switch between mobile use and television viewing in just a few seconds. The main screen has undergone a notable expansion and reaches eight inches in size. The manufacturer chose a panel with LCD technology for the display. Technical decision helps control large-scale manufacturing costs. The objective is to deliver a product with a competitive price on shelves worldwide.

The core of the device houses an unprecedented processor developed in partnership with Nvidia. The customized chip brings artificial intelligence tools focused on improving graphic quality. The image resizing system increases the resolution when the console rests on the base connected to the television. The leap in performance brings the platform closer to the visual demands of contemporary industry. Engenheiros software claims that the new architecture simplifies programming for complex projects.

The cooling mechanism has undergone profound changes to handle the more powerful hardware. Energy consumption has found a balance point thanks to new internal components. Battery life in portable mode remains a fundamental pillar for the company. The total weight of the device registered a small increase due to the screen dimensions. The shape of the sides received ergonomic adjustments to avoid discomfort during prolonged periods of use.
