OneXSugar Live Demo: See the Dual-Screen Android Handheld Morph into a Switch and 3DS

Sure, here’s a rewritten version of the article:

Okay, so OneXPlayer is back in the game, like that friend who just can’t stop tinkering with gadgets. They’re rolling out the OneXSugar – yeah, sugar, I know – and it’s… let’s just say it’s nuts. This thing is channeling some serious Nintendo vibes, stacking features from classics like the Switch and 3DS. But guess what? It’s running on Android. No idea why I find that funny, but here we are.

Now, before I forget, there’s a video floating around online showing this gizmo in action. It’s got two screens that flip and twist – it’s like origami for gamers. The first peek we got was last December, I think. Time flies or maybe it just feels like it.

What’s powering this beast? Qualcomm’s Snapdragon G3 Gen 3. It’s got all these techy specs like an 8-core Kyro CPU and something called an Adreno A32 GPU. Sounds fancy, huh? We’re talking better graphics with this unreal engine thing for sharper images and flashy effects. Oh! And it’s got Wi-Fi 7. Didn’t know that was a thing until now, honestly.

Back to the handheld itself, it’s sporting a 6.01-inch main screen and a smaller 3.92-incher that can flip out – voilà, instant DS transformation. You can even use the small guy solo if you’re into that. It’s versatile, I’ll give them that.

Now, if you’re wondering about the screen quality, well, join the club. We have no clue if they’re OLED or just regular displays. The refresh rate? A mystery, wrapped in an enigma. But hey, there are RGB lights around the joysticks, so that’s something, right?

Oh, and for you die-hard folks, this might jog your memory of the old Nintendo XDS concept. That rumor mill creation from, like, 2015? Yeah, the one that looked like a phone and a PSP had a kid. OneXSugar is kind of running with that idea, but on steroids.

Design-wise, it’s all over the map – part minimalist, part utilitarian. The thing looks like it borrowed a camera grip’s design, which makes it chunky but kinda cool? Except, don’t count on it being waterproof. After all, it’s got visible hinges and such.

Now, it’s rocking an Arm chip, meaning serious PC gaming is a bit of a stretch. But if you’re into emulators or fancy running Windows on this hot mess, you do you. For its intended retro style play? Should be smooth sailing, I think.

Lastly, they’ve gone live on Indiegogo. Well, the page is there, but no price or launch details. Just a big ol’ box for your email so you can get all the deets later. Maybe next month we’ll know more. Or not. Only time will spill the beans.

That’s the scoop. Follow Tom’s Hardware and stay tuned, if you’re into that sort of thing.
