Being that the majority of gaming in China is PC and smartphone-based, the new Fuze Tomahawk F1 video gaming system looks to help merge these verticals.

The Fuze Tomahawk F1 will feature an [Android operating system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ayaneo-pocket-air-mini) that will liken it to a mobile phone in operation and functionality. The console features no optical drive, but instead has users download games from providers as they want them. The video gaming console -- priced at about $138USD -- features a 500GB hard drive (upgradeable to 2TB), and a 4GHz CPU.

While some industry professionals have likened the design to being a merge of design aesthetics from the [Xbox One](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turtle-beach-1) and the [PS4](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonys-celebrates-30th-anniversary), the Fuze Tomahawk F1 looks to set itself apart from the rest of the gaming industry in functionality.
