- Tencent Sunday Dragon 3D One was presented at CES 2025, with an 11-inch screen
- It has Intel’s Lunar Lake processor, similar to MSI’s Claw 8 AI+
- It remains a prototype for now and may never even be released.
Lenovo and MSI may have stolen the show when it comes to portable gaming devices at CES 2025, but there’s one that flew under the radar that has a few tricks up its sleeve that could allow it to compete with the next big hitters, if ever. is launched. that is.
Tencent’s Sunday Dragon 3D One is an 11-inch portable gaming PC, featuring a glasses-free 3D display powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor (also used in the new MSI Claw 8 AI+). The Chinese gaming company claims it will be the “world’s first glasses-free 3D gaming handheld,” although I’d argue that’s not the case, as the Nintendo 3DS rightly holds that particular crown.
Aside from its processor, resolution and 3D capabilities, the 3D One looks almost identical to the upcoming Acer Nitro Blaze 11: both handhelds feature an 11-inch display that may well be too large for a portable gaming device.
It’s worth noting that there’s no information on pricing or availability for the 3D One, and that’s because it may never get out of its prototype phase according to Tencent’s press release (as relayed by Techspot).
While it would be disappointing to never see the release of this device happen, the Blaze 11 will still be around to show how ridiculous or useful an 11-inch display is for a portable gaming PC.
Is this portable prototype worth keeping an eye on?
Considering the chances of the Sunday Dragon 3D One never seeing the light of day on the market, I would suggest keeping the focus on other handhelds in the future: in particular, MSI, Lenovo, and potentially Asus’ offerings. Not only is the 3D One just a prototype at this point, but Tencent is currently being added to the US government’s list of companies that are working with the Chinese military; In short, the chances of this new handheld reaching the US market. They are extremely thin.
Hoping for release, this would likely be direct competition against Acer’s 11-inch Blaze handheld and MSI’s new Claw 8 AI+, which has been proven to deliver fantastic performance at low wattage (power usage) on titles like Cyberpunk 2077 either Black Myth: Wukong with Intel’s Lunar Lake chip.
Anyway, I hope 11 inches becomes a hard limit for portable gaming PCs, as anything higher would just be ridiculous.
