I have had the G Cloud for over a year and you never even mentioned all the retro emulation. everything from Gameboy, to PS2 will play on this 'meh' console making it a portable powerhouse. Having all my N64 games in a handheld along with the fact it is android allowing me to travel with it and watch Netflix etc.... An amazing screen and incredible battery life. I think you missed a few things in your review.
The problem with the Logitech G Cloud in that sense is the AYN Odin 2 and similar devices exist. They are the same price, have a newer version of Android, way better specs....and those range of devices have been tailor-made for emulating games.
I do agree you skipped pretty much what a lot of this can do which is PSP GameCube and all the systems below it and it can even do PS2 at 1X. Also the battery is great! It is a bit overpriced but I think if you can get it for 200 bucks on sale or even 229 it might be worth it it's not perfect but then again no cloud gaming is perfect. The fact that you can now have TV out and also map the controls for non-native Android games that don't have controller support I think this has a lot more potential than what you're letting on. It's by no means a powerhouse but performs pretty well for a lot of retro gaming with beautiful battery life and of every nice screen. A bit overpriced indeed, like I said if you can get it for 225 go for it other than that I would say too high priced. But if you have a ton of PC games and you want to use parsec or moonlight it plays beautiful and you're going to get many many hours. Definitely best in class battery and good design but you're not doing anything higher than a PS2 at 1X but for PSP and everything else it is a dream. If someone did review this a year ago before USBC out and before allowing controller support for Android games I would say this is a piece of junk but also as you said Microsoft has really let it down because xcloud is pretty much junk I'm on FiOS 1 gig up and down beautiful connection and it doesn't make a difference x-cloud just isn't there yet.
@@RandomITMan ok i agree with that but it is weird, being a handheld collector, even though it is overpriced, I am still reaching for it daily. The ergonomics and the screen still keep me using it over the retroid, ayn and a few anbernics I have. I use it a lot with my son on his PS5 and me on the logitich playing fortnight with him through Microsoft cloud and there is zero lag.
So this is an official device right? Edit: wow nevermind i dont even care because 3 minutes in and im already not interested anymore by the software specs alone
Oops, I've misspelled Qualcomm to Quallcom. Apologies. :)
