Sony Project Q Android Phone as Leaked Video Reveals – Playstation

It has a basic version of the Android operating system running on a plastic-wrapped device showing a simple menu and a QR code. This almost certainly won’t be the final version of the phone’s slate, but it does at least give us an idea of ​​what Project Q will be based on.

The person who created the video quickly taps the menu and then starts rotating the mobile device to show the top, back, and bottom of it. Low resolution makes it difficult to understand much. You can spot what looks like a set of four buttons behind the tablet portion of the device at the top, centered cutouts on the top and bottom edges of the tablet (microphones maybe?), and what appear to be speaker jacks on the top edge.

In a separate tweet from Zuby_Tech, there is also an image of the tablet with the screen removed, so we see the bezel behind it and some of the technical bits inside.

for him last May We first learned about Project Q when Sony said it would be an 8-inch tablet surrounded by DualSense controllers, but without the standalone functionality like the Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck. Instead, it’s intended as a PS5 accessory that streams games from your console over the same network, making it more comparable to the Nintendo Wii U.

It may sound counterintuitive, but Sony has also been testing cloud gaming for the PS5, and we suspect the Japanese company could eventually run those games on Project Q as well. But the new mobile device will likely launch in November, and Sony’s new approach to cloud gaming may not be ready in time for that launch.

Sony provided very few other details about Project Q during the announcement at PlayStation Expo this past May. We know he’s using a 1080p LCD running at 60fps and using Wi-Fi to connect to his PS5. However, running Android means it should (and hopefully be?) capable of so much more.
