Logitech G Cloud Gaming Handheld, Portable Gaming Console with Long-Battery Life, 1080P 7-Inch Touchscreen, Lightweight Design, Xbox Cloud Gaming, NVIDIA GeForce NOW, Google Play

This thing is my go to device for almost everything. It can do pretty much anything my phone can do without having to worry about draining my phone's battery. It lets me save my phone for social networking and communications in case of emergency and whatnot. Also since it supports an SD card I can load it up with my movies, music and books without having to worry about storage.

As far as gaming goes, Game Pass cloud streaming and Luna work amazingly well at home on my decent wifi. I love being able to play console games out on my porch or even in my yard. I will probably use this device to play Starfield on it when that comes out, since I primarily play most of my triple A games on PS5. For on the go gaming I would say Google Play Pass is your best bet. You get hundreds of games to download for $5 a month. Not all support controllers but even with the ones that don't I am able to use the touch screen for. Also you have all the games in the google play store that you can buy outright or are free from the get go. That doesn't even include if you want to get into emulation but I don't really know anything about that so I'll leave that for others to discuss.

The UI is super clean and simple and I love how you can switch between a more traditional tablet interface and the Logitech gaming one they have created. Sound is good enough for me and of course if you pair it with a headset or earbuds you don't even have to worry about that. The thumb sticks feel awesome and are much better than the Switch's and I also love the buttons and dpad. Speaking of the Switch the ergonomics on the G Cloud put the Switch to shame! It is super comfy to hold and I always feel like I have a good grip on it. Not to mention the size of the device is just right, not too big but not too small. One thing that consistently blows me away is the awesome screen. I don't know what it is but the colors just pop and everything looks stunning. It also looks pretty dang good in the sun but of course your best bet is in the shade. Overall I know the price is a little steep and I would say $250 would've made more sense but I say it is definitely more than worth it either way.

Just download the psplay app and use it ...

I like it really that handled game-console is the best & the seller is too much great , this the best store i met in Amazon 😍👍🏻 keep it up you deserve it 5🌟

جهاز جميل جدا و محبوب انصح الجميع بشراءه

The product is very good, but in uae cloud gaming is not possible yet. So it’s waste in UAE to buy this. It can just remote play through xbox which your phone can do as well. Game pass ultimate nothing works it will show you error

Best for remote play and streaming services 🎮

I really loved the device, specially it’s android built in with play store

I played GTA5 on this device it’s fabulous

All these reviews about this device being underpowered for emulating are really missing the point of this device. This is really a switch like controller that runs android so it can run remote play apps or cloud gaming apps (though much more comfortable to hold then a switch with better battery life.) if you want a device that can do emulation and full console gaming but portable you will definitely want to look elsewhere for something like a price subsidized steam deck, or Retroid device or any of the other smaller emulation designed devices would better suite you.

I however was looking for a high quality, portable sturdy second screen with good controls and good battery life which 12 hours is hard to beat. (Yes you can do with with an iphone / ipad or android phone / tablet but if you have tried that like i have you will find the screen size to be too small with thick black bars to make a 16:9 aspect ratio that is standard with TVs or for the case of tablets too large and now sitting on a table bluetoothed to a controller.) This device out of the box (at least for xbox, playstation requires a 3rd party app called PSPlay as the Sony official app doesn’t support the g clouds controllers yet (maybe with an update to Sony's app)) will take your console and make it portable just be sure to have wifi 5 (which is the wifi spec on the g cloud) or greater as this all requires a lot of local bandwidth on your personal wifi network.

I found for the best results i had to hard wire my consoles over LAN and then to use my eero wifi 6 system as the final wireless step to the g cloud, i have had almost no artifacting, latency issues, or ghosting since switching to this setup notice i didnt say none.. just 99% perfect streaming. Even with other traffic on my network like my partner streaming movies over apple tv etc. this setup performs almost perfectly enough to think its happening on device.

I did initially try to use the PS4 pro and Xbox S on wifi, and while the xbox s’ modern wifi worked great, the ps4 pro’s was not good, downloading or updating software while trying to remote control the console would resort in artifacts and issues. I mostly blame Sony’s` wifi in the ps4 pro as even when it was connected to the tv i had issues with it. The minute i put it on LAN all those issues went away and it was as if the G cloud was directly connected to the PS4 Pro i was able to crank up PSPlay’s streaming settings to max and the gaming became buttery smooth. Microsofts Xbox App does a lot of the work for you when it comes to remote play and is frankly superior to sony’s app and even the 3rd party PSPlay (which is an improvement on the official Sony one.) The xbox app will automatically scale the graphics quality based on current wifi and other factors to smooth out the experience so, while not unusable as the ps4 pro was over wifi, it was just not a perfect experience but still playable! But, again for best results hardwire LAN to the xbox s and then wifi 6 to the g cloud for buttery smooth, full hd, no artifacting or noticeable lag while gaming.

I did try some Xbox Cloud Gaming but found that to be sorta redundant as I have a console in my home but i guess the option is nice if you don't.. however the streaming was only ok in my opinion. I have fios fiberoptic gigabit internet with wifi 6 and i still had artifacting and some lag, while playable for non timing critical games definitely not a perfect or optimized experience. It just seems at this time that game streaming from servers outside the home is just not ready for prime time in my opinion.

I think playing my consoles on g cloud is going to replace playing my consoles on my tv as I prefer the handheld form-factor and casualness of just picking up and playing like the switch but the graphics of the better consoles really pop on the 7” screen which is really the star of the show. The screen really is good for a LCD, the black levels are good, colors pop and it gets very bright! Hard to find something like this with this battery life.

The android version on the device is basic but the addition of tablet mode means you can multitask (something you cant do in the “console ui”) The device software in its current revision lacks screen mapping of the controls so android games will run but wont take advantage of the extra hardware buttons and sticks (this is something that can be added with 3rd party software but as I only use this as a console portable screen I have not tried this, as all the software I use is designed for the controls or has control mapping) this is apparently not good if you want to run games natively on the device but with its specs it wont really do a good job at that.

This device really has been narrowly designed for streaming games and its processor does an amazing job at that for 12 hours but your milage playing game software locally will vary (not that i have tried just seen other reviewers attempts.)

I received a G Cloud for Christmas in 2023, so I have had a concentrated week of seeing what the device can and cannot do. Side-note (not factored into the score), the BRAND NEW unit sold by Amazon (not a 3rd party) turned out to be used. The box seal had been opened, and even the screen protector was gone. So I returned it and got another. Second side-note, the first unit came with the wall charger, but the replacement did not (even though it is pictured in the manual). I thought this was a mistake, but then found a slapped-on statement from Logitech saying they stopped including wall adapters for the good of the environment (yeah that gets a huge LOL, congrats on your cost-savings Logitech). On to the real review ...

I wanted the unit mostly to be able to stream games from my PS4 (in my living room) and Xbox Series X (upstairs in a racing / flying cab). And long story short - this unit FINALLY delivers what I have been striving for since I tried using the PSP to connect to my PS3 many years ago (and then Vita, which was equally bad at streaming). The Xbox streaming works great with the Xbox app. The controllers work amazingly well. The PS4 at first worked good enough to play, but the resolution varied and sometimes would get a little blocky. I connected it to my router using a network cable, and that made the streaming become crystal clear. Works great anywhere in my house. To stream anywhere in the world requires port forwarding to be setup on the router, and so I am not going to pursue that. Note that I am using a 3rd party app for the PS4 streaming so the Logitech controls are fully supported. I will say I can detect a slight lag in the controls (probably less than a tenth of a second), which for a high-speed game (think racing) the experience is still playable but is slightly impacted. But for my usage (Fallout 4 on PS4, Flight Simulator on Xbox) gameplay feels just fine and a very slight delay does not impact gaming.

I am also using the unit as a retro-gaming handheld. Gaming is fantastic for all consoles that are GameCube and earlier. PS2 works great for some titles, but has some slowdown for others (but settings can be tweaked to be playable for just about anything). For me, having a giant library of Advance titles, SNES, Genesis, and yeah even Atari is awesome.

The ergonomics of the G Cloud is fantastic. I have fairly large hands, and it is comfortable to play. The screen at 7 inches doesn't sound big, but compared to my Switch Lite and older PS handhelds, the screen is a magical giant gift from the gods. Resolution is a very sharp 1080P. Touch works great, and so the hardware is quite impressive. Battery life is outstanding.

So the memory at 64GB is one weak point of the system. There IS a microSD expansion, and I had to spend a couple of days to get everything working well. Bottom line, I first tried a 512GB Sandisk card, and it did not work correctly, despite trying every formatting method out there. Folks, 256GB is the max, trust me. So a Sandisk 256GB works like a charm. It will NOT work correctly if you extend the storage as part of the Android device. It has to be formatted as external storage, and then it works great.

The beauty of this device is that it is truly just an Android device with Google Play. So the gaming options are almost unlimited. And you can use it to watch movies, or control your thermostats, or whatever you use a normal Android device for.

In summary, this is an amazing device and I could not be happier with it!

I ordered this system primarily for retro gaming via LaunchBox and RetroArch. And it does that very well. While it took some configuring it's been able to run everything I've thrown at it. I also tried out some games from the Android/Google Play store and the XCloud streaming service. It handled both of those perfectly. In fact, with regards to XCloud, it streamed the games much better than my iPhone does. I did notice some minor input lag, but that's likely going to happen on streaming services no matter the device.

The build quality is fantastic. It's very light, fits into your hands comfortably, and the screen is large and vibrant. The speakers are also quite good for a handheld device - very loud and clear. The dpad and buttons could be a little less mushy, but that's a minor complaint. The battery lasts forever too.

My only real complaint with this device is the price. It's $349 price is way too high. If Logitech could hit $199 or even $249 with this unit they'd have an absolute winner. But at $349 it's in the same range as the Nintendo Switch OLED and base-model SteamDeck and both are more versatile and a better value. That said, if you happen to catch this device on sale and want a great retro/streaming handheld then this one is hard to beat.
