The W 3D smartphone could entice game lovers who want a handheld that splits the difference between a serviceable Android phone and a PlayStation Vita. The phone has four face buttons, two joysticks, a directional pad, a touch screen and — in a mark above the Vita — four shoulder buttons. It also has a glasses-free 3D display that uses eye-tracking technology. The 3D was spotty, but the 5.5" display itself looked quite good.
Games, running on an 8-core MTK6595/2.2GHZ CPU, also looked comparable to what was running on the OBox. With solid graphics and controls, the W 3D likely be welcomed with open arms by the emulation community.
The phone will retail unlocked, though Snail Games is in talks with cell phone providers for future hardware. It has all the other features you'd expect from a phone, like Bluetooth 4.0, 4G LTE, and front and back facing cameras.
Snail Games plans to release both the OBox and W 3D in China in Q2 2015 and in US and Mexico in Q3 2015. Though retail prices aren't yet available, a representative said they could range from $99 to $499 depending on the model. The prospect of a $99 Android console that display 3D and 4K video is, on its own, worth paying attention to.
Making a play at the already crowded and competitive video game market is a bold move to say the least. Doing so with Android hardware and an Nvidia processor that could be outdated by release makes the gamble even riskier. But Snail Games has a knack for accomplishing incredible feats. It's expanded from browser developer to mobile provider in one country; comparatively, releasing a video game console doesn't sound quite so impossible.
