TECNO Pocket Go

TECNO has ventured into AR gaming with the announcement of the TECNO Pocket Go at MWC 2024.

The TECNO Pocket Go is a unique combination of a Windows AR headset called Pocket Vision and a portable AR Windows handheld device.

This lightweight combo eliminates having to stay in a fixed location to enjoy AR gaming. With this, TECNO promises to bring a new immersive experience to users on the move.

Compact design, expansive view

The Pocket Go set features a compact Windows handheld that resolves the limitations of bulky Windows handhelds. It works together with the AR Pocket Vision headset so the Pocket Go can provide an immersive 6D experience.

The Pocket Vision is equipped with a 0.71-inch micro-OLED screen. This screen replicates the feel of staring at a 215-inch television from six meters away. Users may also adjust the diopter settings up to 600 degrees to suit their visual requirements right from the headset.

Meanwhile, the Pocket Windows handheld redefines portability with a significantly reduced size. It is 50% smaller and 30% lighter than standard handhelds. It has a convenient form factor and combines ergonomic elements for an effortless grip.

The Pocket Go comes with a TECNO Smart Box which serves as a central hub for managing games and settings.

Users may even utilize the Pocket Go beyond gaming. It can be a part of a smart ecosystem as it connects with TECNO devices like smartphones. They may likewise watch movies on the Pocket Vision.

Ultimate gaming power

More than its aesthetics, the Pocket Go is engineered for on-the-go high-FPS AAA gaming. It sets a new standard with a gaming CPU featuring eight cores, 16 threads, and turbo frequencies of up to 5.1GHz.

The Windows handheld, in particular, has effective heat dissipation with its PC-level large cooling fan and three copper pipes.

Bringing the game to life

Furthermore, the Pocket Go brings games to life with both accurate visual and tactile feedback. The Pocket Vision has a six-axis gyroscope and leverages a powerful AI algorithm to capture head movements from the glasses precisely.

TECNO’s unique vibration enhancement algorithm also converts in-game sounds into nuanced vibrations to make the experience feel more alive.

On the other hand, the Pocket Windows handheld has an oversized X-axis linear motor. It also has a proprietary audio vibration algorithm, providing immediate feedback to bass vibrations. Moreover, Hall Effect joysticks and triggers offer precise control, elevating the immersive feel.
