The Nintendo Switch gaming console that currently sits with its own little corner of the gaming market, with other major platforms like Sony’s PlayStation 4 and Microsoft’s Xbox One offering a different and traditional approach to hardware design which appeal to customers in different ways. As such, the Switch doesn’t really have a direct competitor, but Chinese tech giant Huawei is hoping to change all of that.
The Huawei Mate20 X, a brand new gaming phone that was officially unveiled to the world just yesterday. The device will have 7.2-inch screen with a 1080p OLED display (compared to the Switch’s 6.2-inch display with a native 720p resolution), and will come with Kirin 980 processor. This processor is said to give the phone the extra space that will be used for 5,000mAh battery, which Huawei says will give the phone a battery life that doubles that of the Switch.
Things are little more interesting from gaming point of view thanks to the inclusion of a stylus for the screen, and an optional gamepad which attaches to the left-hand side of the phone in a similar way to the Joy-Con. Only one pad is supported, that means your right hand will still use the touchscreen, but Huawei has specifically listed the Switch as a competitor, hoping to ruin Nintendo’s handheld party for ever
