Title: The truth about the G Cloud and my experience with PS4 and Xbox Series X play
Review: I received a G Cloud for Christmas in 2023, so I have had a concentrated week of seeing what the device can and cannot do. Side-note (not factored into the score), the BRAND NEW unit sold by Amazon (not a 3rd party) turned out to be used. The box seal had been opened, and even the screen protector was gone. So I returned it and got another. Second side-note, the first unit came with the wall charger, but the replacement did not (even though it is pictured in the manual). I thought this was a mistake, but then found a slapped-on statement from Logitech saying they stopped including wall adapters for the good of the environment (yeah that gets a huge LOL, congrats on your cost-savings Logitech). On to the real review ...I wanted the unit mostly to be able to stream games from my PS4 (in my living room) and Xbox Series X (upstairs in a racing / flying cab). And long story short - this unit FINALLY delivers what I have been striving for since I tried using the PSP to connect to my PS3 many years ago (and then Vita, which was equally bad at streaming). The Xbox streaming works great with the Xbox app. The controllers work amazingly well. The PS4 at first worked good enough to play, but the resolution varied and sometimes would get a little blocky. I connected it to my router using a network cable, and that made the streaming become crystal clear. Works great anywhere in my house. To stream anywhere in the world requires port forwarding to be setup on the router, and so I am not going to pursue that. Note that I am using a 3rd party app for the PS4 streaming so the Logitech controls are fully supported. I will say I can detect a slight lag in the controls (probably less than a tenth of a second), which for a high-speed game (think racing) the experience is still playable but is slightly impacted. But for my usage (Fallout 4 on PS4, Flight Simulator on Xbox) gameplay feels just fine and a very slight delay does not impact gaming.I am also using the unit as a retro-gaming handheld. Gaming is fantastic for all consoles that are GameCube and earlier. PS2 works great for some titles, but has some slowdown for others (but settings can be tweaked to be playable for just about anything). For me, having a giant library of Advance titles, SNES, Genesis, and yeah even Atari is awesome.The ergonomics of the G Cloud is fantastic. I have fairly large hands, and it is comfortable to play. The screen at 7 inches doesn't sound big, but compared to my Switch Lite and older PS handhelds, the screen is a magical giant gift from the gods. Resolution is a very sharp 1080P. Touch works great, and so the hardware is quite impressive. Battery life is outstanding.So the memory at 64GB is one weak point of the system. There IS a microSD expansion, and I had to spend a couple of days to get everything working well. Bottom line, I first tried a 512GB Sandisk card, and it did not work correctly, despite trying every formatting method out there. Folks, 256GB is the max, trust me. So a Sandisk 256GB works like a charm. It will NOT work correctly if you extend the storage as part of the Android device. It has to be formatted as external storage, and then it works great.The beauty of this device is that it is truly just an Android device with Google Play. So the gaming options are almost unlimited. And you can use it to watch movies, or control your thermostats, or whatever you use a normal Android device for.In summary, this is an amazing device and I could not be happier with it!

Title: Perfect for what it is designed to do.. stream games from your local consoles.
Review: All these reviews about this device being underpowered for emulating are really missing the point of this device. This is really a switch like controller that runs android so it can run remote play apps or cloud gaming apps (though much more comfortable to hold then a switch with better battery life.) if you want a device that can do emulation and full console gaming but portable you will definitely want to look elsewhere for something like a price subsidized steam deck, or Retroid device or any of the other smaller emulation designed devices would better suite you.I however was looking for a high quality, portable sturdy second screen with good controls and good battery life which 12 hours is hard to beat. (Yes you can do with with an iphone / ipad or android phone / tablet but if you have tried that like i have you will find the screen size to be too small with thick black bars to make a 16:9 aspect ratio that is standard with TVs or for the case of tablets too large and now sitting on a table bluetoothed to a controller.) This device out of the box (at least for xbox, playstation requires a 3rd party app called PSPlay as the Sony official app doesn’t support the g clouds controllers yet (maybe with an update to Sony's app)) will take your console and make it portable just be sure to have wifi 5 (which is the wifi spec on the g cloud) or greater as this all requires a lot of local bandwidth on your personal wifi network.I found for the best results i had to hard wire my consoles over LAN and then to use my eero wifi 6 system as the final wireless step to the g cloud, i have had almost no artifacting, latency issues, or ghosting since switching to this setup notice i didnt say none.. just 99% perfect streaming. Even with other traffic on my network like my partner streaming movies over apple tv etc. this setup performs almost perfectly enough to think its happening on device.I did initially try to use the PS4 pro and Xbox S on wifi, and while the xbox s’ modern wifi worked great, the ps4 pro’s was not good, downloading or updating software while trying to remote control the console would resort in artifacts and issues. I mostly blame Sony’s` wifi in the ps4 pro as even when it was connected to the tv i had issues with it. The minute i put it on LAN all those issues went away and it was as if the G cloud was directly connected to the PS4 Pro i was able to crank up PSPlay’s streaming settings to max and the gaming became buttery smooth. Microsofts Xbox App does a lot of the work for you when it comes to remote play and is frankly superior to sony’s app and even the 3rd party PSPlay (which is an improvement on the official Sony one.) The xbox app will automatically scale the graphics quality based on current wifi and other factors to smooth out the experience so, while not unusable as the ps4 pro was over wifi, it was just not a perfect experience but still playable! But, again for best results hardwire LAN to the xbox s and then wifi 6 to the g cloud for buttery smooth, full hd, no artifacting or noticeable lag while gaming.I did try some Xbox Cloud Gaming but found that to be sorta redundant as I have a console in my home but i guess the option is nice if you don't.. however the streaming was only ok in my opinion. I have fios fiberoptic gigabit internet with wifi 6 and i still had artifacting and some lag, while playable for non timing critical games definitely not a perfect or optimized experience. It just seems at this time that game streaming from servers outside the home is just not ready for prime time in my opinion.I think playing my consoles on g cloud is going to replace playing my consoles on my tv as I prefer the handheld form-factor and casualness of just picking up and playing like the switch but the graphics of the better consoles really pop on the 7” screen which is really the star of the show. The screen really is good for a LCD, the black levels are good, colors pop and it gets very bright! Hard to find something like this with this battery life.The android version on the device is basic but the addition of tablet mode means you can multitask (something you cant do in the “console ui”) The device software in its current revision lacks screen mapping of the controls so android games will run but wont take advantage of the extra hardware buttons and sticks (this is something that can be added with 3rd party software but as I only use this as a console portable screen I have not tried this, as all the software I use is designed for the controls or has control mapping) this is apparently not good if you want to run games natively on the device but with its specs it wont really do a good job at that.This device really has been narrowly designed for streaming games and its processor does an amazing job at that for 12 hours but your milage playing game software locally will vary (not that i have tried just seen other reviewers attempts.)

Title:
Review: Casi nunca hago reviews, pero de verdad que este producto lo merece, es lo mejor para hacer streaming , me encantó, hace mucho que no estaba tan contento con una compra, lo recomiendo ampliamente. Yo lo uso con Moonlight y Ps Play y cero lag , la pantalla está increíble, el peso está muy bien, ya puedo avanzar a mi super backlog donde sea ( si también en el baño), solo debes tener buena conexión de Internet. Si lo que buscas es transmitir tus juegos de play o PC cómprala ya, no te arrepentirás. ( también sirve desde xbox y otras apps como GFN)
