HONG
KONG, Aug. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ZOTAC GAMING
proudly announces the much-anticipated premium gaming handheld, the
ZOTAC GAMING ZONE, is ready to begin accepting preorders in select
regions and e-tailer platforms. The ZONE, which emphasizes premium
hardware and elite controls, was announced COMPUTEX 2024 with great
anticipation.
Visitors arriving at GAMESCOM 2024, one of the largest video
game trade fairs held annually in Cologne, Germany, will be the first to
experience the thrills of gaming on the ZONE.
GAME IN THE ZONE
The ZOTAC GAMING ZONE is the first handheld gaming PC on the
market to incorporate premium hardware and elite control features
that players will not find on other handheld PCs, offering gamers
more immersion and advantages in PC games like non-other.
The ZOTAC GAMING ZONE is powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8840U, an
efficient powerhouse with bleeding edge Zen 4 architecture and
RDNA™ 3 graphics that enables even AAA gaming at native 1080p
resolution. Along with the 16GB of LPDDR5X-7500 Memory on board,
the ZONE makes the full spectrum of experiences that PC gaming can
offer through stunning visuals and performance, and take advantage
of AMD's driver-level Fluid Motion Frames (FMF) and FidelityFX™
Super Resolution technology to enhance gameplay performance and
immersion further. Also featured are a full-sized 2280 512GB M.2
NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD and a UHS-II microSD card reader to cover
every gamer's storage needs.
The ZOTAC GAMING ZONE is equipped with a premium 7'' Full HD
AMOLED Display, a first in Handheld PCs. With the deep blacks and
Wide Color Gamut that only AMOLED displays can provide, gamers are
guaranteed to be blown away by the unmatched visual immersion. To
add to the players' competitive edge, the display also benefits
from a fast 120Hz high refresh rate and up to 800nits of
brightness, making for smooth visuals and crystal clear
details.
ELITE CONTROLS
While hardware performance is crucial for Handheld Consoles, the
ZOTAC GAMING ZONE steps up the ante through an entire suite of
elite control options that are typically only found on premium game
controllers.
Hall Effect Sensors
Triggers and Analog Sticks utilize hall-effect sensors, which
enhance precision and prevent drifting from wear and tear.
2-Stage Adjustable Triggers
Designed to meet the needs of the modern gamer, the ZONE
features 2-stage adjustable triggers so gamers can play like a pro
on the go. Rapid fire with the short-travel hair triggers, or
assume full control with traditional analog triggers with a flick
of a switch.
Radial Dials
For those times when you can't take your hands off your game,
the ZONE's got your back. The Radial Dials around both Analog
Sticks allow gamers to adjust system settings with a single
twist.
Dual Trackpads
Twin trackpads flank both sides of the ZONE to provide an
alternative means to control the desktop or play your favorite
mouse-heavy PC titles without additional peripherals.
Such features enhance the gaming experience and give gamers an
edge against in a competitive environment. Additionally, a
full-sized gamepad, rear twin macro buttons, and even button types
are deliberately chosen, with the D-Pad utilizing clicky
microswitches for greater feedback.
ERGONOMICS
Aside from added buttons, the overall shape of the ZOTAC GAMING
ZONE has been carefully considered and designed for a stable,
balanced grip that will stay comfortable for hours on end of
continuous usage. Button layouts are also designed in a symmetrical
fashion, which allows players a more positive grip on the device as
opposed to offset controller layouts.
Dual USB4 Ports
Two full-speed USB4 Ports are strategically positioned on the
top and bottom of the device, allowing for greater flexibility for
usage. Transfer large files or charge rapidly using the port of
your choice.
Connectivity
With Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 on board, offering users with
high bandwidth, and high-speed internet connectivity to download
larger titles and play with lower latency, and opens up usage of
additional Bluetooth accessories and peripherals. The ZONE will
also be equipped with a front-facing camera and microphone for
impromptu video calls, as well as a fingerprint reader power button
that supports secure login to the ZONE via Windows Hello.
Accessories
Alongside the ZOTAC GAMING ZONE itself, ZOTAC GAMING is also
introducing two bespoke accessories to expand the gaming handheld's
use cases: a docking station with a well-rounded selection of ports
as well as an interface for an additional fast NVMe SSD storage to
convert the handheld gaming into a full-fledged desktop; as well as
a carrying case with additional storage space so players can game
on the go with the peace of mind that their ZONE will be
well-protected.
XBOX Game Pass
To allow gamers to jump right into the ZOTAC GAMING ZONE, each
unit will come bundled with a free one-month XBOX Game Pass Trial
so that gamers can dive straight into the world of handheld gaming.
Discover your next obsession, or rediscover gaming classics all in
