Tectoy, a prominent Brazilian company with a history in Sega console distribution, is poised to re-enter the handheld market with its new gaming PCs: the Zeenix Pro and Zeenix Lite. These devices will initially launch in Brazil before a global rollout.
I first encountered the Zeenix Pro and Lite at Gamescom Latam in Brazil, where Tectoy's booth attracted significant attention and queues. While this demonstrates interest, it's not a definitive measure of product quality.
A more informative assessment comes from the device specifications:
Feature | Zeenix Lite | Zeenix Pro |
---|---|---|
Screen | 6-inch Full HD, 60Hz | 6-inch Full HD, 60Hz |
Processor | AMD 3050e processor | Ryzen 7 6800U |
Graphics Card | AMD Radeon Graphics | AMD RDNA Radeon 680m |
RAM | 8GB | 16GB |
Storage | 256GB SSD (microSD expandable) | 512GB SSD (microSD expandable) |
For a more detailed breakdown of game performance across various settings and resolutions, refer to the official Zeenix website. Their presentation of real-world examples is far more insightful than raw specifications.
Both the Zeenix Pro and Lite will include the Zeenix Hub, a software application designed to consolidate games from different platforms into a single, user-friendly interface. However, using the Hub is entirely optional.
Pricing and a precise Brazilian release date remain unannounced. Pocket Gamer will provide updates as soon as more information becomes available.
