Next-Gen Handheld Gamer Consoles

This Sony PlayStation Portable Concept Modernizes a Classic

The original PlayStation Portable (PSP) from Sony was an uproarious success for the brand before being discontinued in 2014, so this Sony PlayStation Portable concept imagines what the next-gen device could look like if created. The handheld gaming console is characterized by its dazzling UHD OLED display for immersing the user in the experience, while a wireless charger works by being sandwiched over the device for powering up. This combination calls to mind the technology brand's current generation gaming console -- the PlayStation 5 -- to help create a sense of cohesion for avid gamers.

The Sony PlayStation Portable concept is the design work of Andrea Gallarini and Nicola Pezzotti, and offers compatibility with PlayStation Connect to open up access to an immersive digital gaming library.
