The [Huawei](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tam-tam) Tron gaming console is bringing even more variety to gamers. The new system will be running the latest Android Operating System and has a bunch of cool features users will enjoy.

The console wars are getting crowded in the best possible way. First we get the [Steam](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ayaneo-3-indiegogo) Machines offering us computer gaming on our TV's and now we get an Android offering all in the span of a couple days! Okay, now that my nerdgasm is over, let's get into specifics.

The set up is compact and altogether -- headphones and console included -- it is arguably the smallest console set-up on the market, so portability will never be an issue. It will provide amazing visuals at 1080p through a HDMI connection, and also sports an ethernet connection for wired gaming.

The controller looks like a mix of a PS4 and Xbox controller as the button set up is similar to Xbox but the giant touchscreen in the middle is reminiscent of [PlayStation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powkiddy-x28). The Huawei Tron is definitely going to make things interesting in the console wars.
