The Pimax Portal is a 4K Android handheld gaming console with a 5.46'' 144 Hz screen and detachable magnetic controllers, with an optional VR mode via the VR Kit, built to play Android and cloud games anywhere.
Pimax, best known for its VR headsets, brings that experience to a handheld format with the Portal: an Android device that runs native games and cloud gaming services. Its controllers detach from the body via a magnetic connection and, with the optional VR Kit, the console turns into a headset for virtual reality gaming.
