Technology is pushing the boundaries of portable gaming, offering increasingly immersive experiences. Tecno’s new Pocket Go handheld stands out by combining the power of a Windows gaming PC with augmented reality (AR) glasses.
This unusual combination gives you the flexibility to play your favorite PC games on a virtual big screen, anywhere you go.
Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know about this innovative device.
Understanding the Pocket Go
Imagine a standard gaming controller, but instead of attaching to a console or PC via a cable, this one has the whole computer inside. That’s the Pocket Go.
It sports familiar controls like analog sticks, triggers, a D-pad, and buttons. This Windows-powered handheld packs a powerful AMD processor, ensuring you can enjoy the latest PC game titles.
The Magic of the AR Pocket Vision Glasses
The Pocket Go isn’t just about the handheld. It comes with companion AR glasses called Pocket Vision. These lightweight glasses connect to the Pocket Go via a USB-C cable.
Using micro-OLED displays, they project a massive virtual screen right before your eyes, simulating the experience of playing on a giant TV.
How the System Works
The combination of the Pocket Go and its AR glasses is what sets it apart. Here’s how it works:
- Power Up: Charge and power on both the Pocket Go handheld and the Pocket Vision glasses.
- Connect: Connect your Pocket Vision AR glasses to your pocket go via the USB-C cable.
- Launch and Play: Launch your favorite PC games on the Pocket Go handheld. The game’s visuals will automatically appear on the augmented reality display in the glasses.
Key Features and Benefits
- Massive Virtual Display: Experience gaming on the equivalent of a 215-inch virtual screen without the need for a physical TV or monitor.
- Immersion: AR technology enhances immersion, allowing you to focus on the game visuals without distractions.
- Portability: The relatively compact design of the system gives you a powerful gaming setup that you can take anywhere.

Redefining Portable Gaming
Tecno’s Pocket Go and Pocket Vision are an intriguing proposition for gamers seeking a unique and portable experience. While there are still questions about price and long-term use comfort, the potential for a revolutionary new way to game on the go is undeniable.
