PLAYSTATION PROJECT Q HANDHELD ALLEGEDLY LASTS UP TO 4 HOURS ONLY
9Sony's newly announced PlayStation Project Q handheld console has raised concerns due to its alleged battery life of only 3-4 hours. The device utilizes remote play to stream games from a PlayStation 5 console, making it unique among handhelds. This battery duration falls short compared to competitors like the Nintendo Switch OLED, which offers up to 6 hours of gameplay. The Valve Steam Deck, while comparable to Project Q in battery life, plays games natively and requires more power. Despite featuring an HD screen and DualSense controller capabilities, the limited battery life is disappointing for Sony's first handheld in years. The price for Project Q remains unknown, with speculations placing it around $200 or higher. Sony plans to launch the handheld in late 2023 and promises more updates soon, including pricing and release date details.
