Verizon is teasing an Android-based gaming handheld made by Razer that will connect to its nationwide 5G network.
Over the last few years, handheld gaming systems have become increasingly popular.
The Nintendo Switch, Valve Steam Deck, and Logitech G Cloud Gaming Handheld are among the most popular devices to date, and they all offer a variety of uses. However, none of them offer a cellular connection for on-the-go gaming.
Verizon, Qualcomm, and Razer are here to change that with the Razer Edge 5G Gaming Handheld.
