Qualcomm is working with Razer to launch a new handheld game console, powered by Qualcomm’s latest generation Snapdragon G3X Gen 1 processor. However, according to a leaked source of VideoCardz, this device is called “Snapdragon G3X Handheld Developer Kit”, which means a set of tools for developers.

It seems that Qualcomm’s ambition is aimed at developers, software manufacturers and game programmers, to help them have a new tool to build a mobile gaming ecosystem. This new mobile game ecosystem will be different from Android games, because it is dedicated to handheld game consoles, instead of smartphones.
