The device features a huge HD screen with a wholesome 8-inch screen. And the buttons are straight from the controller of the usual PS5. The screen is placed right in the middle of the controller, which enables proper control of the remote.

Other key equipment includes the first-ever PlayStation earbuds. This will enable audio immersion, have features like lossless audio, and connect to smartphones, PCs, and the PlayStation 5. This gives the earbuds increased device connectivity and a better user experience. The earbuds are specially designed for players to get top-notch gaming audio zest and performance.

Now let’s get down to what it means for the players. With the already constrained market for handheld devices, console giants like Steam with the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch are already dominating the sector, which puts Sony right in the spot to keep its industry leadership stable.

Which seems like all the more reason to keep tabs on its competitors.

Although Q isn’t expected to offer game streaming or cloud gaming at this time, it’s important to note that Sony is well-recognized for its cloud gaming service, which it may improve in the future. Enabling game streaming and adding more revenue-generating services for Sony might increase Q’s functionality.

Given the already cluttered competitive market, it would be interesting to see how Sony’s new handheld console fairs against full-fledged consoles from Nintendo and Steam Deck.
