Razer to deliver 5G portable gaming

 If Sony had stayed the course, the PSP2 would likely have a 5G and WiFi 6 stack and silicon for awesome remote play and multiplayer gaming, wherever players were. But they didn't, so it is up to others to take up the mantle. Logitech's recent G Cloud effort goes some way in that direction, but lacks the 5G needed for go-anywhere play. 

So, leave it to Razer to move the portable markers forward with a 5G model, unveiled early in October. The tie-in with Qualcomm should mean high-end 5G performance and Verizon acting as US telco of choice for a "decent?" network. It should support Android gaming and Xbox Cloud, but is still far from the one device that does it all! 

It does come with a Death Star laser, according to the teaser trailer. But Verizon is the one spilling some beans ahead of RazerCon on 15th October.
