BEIJING: Snail Games announced the creation of three Android gaming devices: the W and W 3D Smartphone and the Obox console. Considering the history of past mobile gaming devices such as the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play and the Nokia N-Gage, the odds aren’t in Snail Games’ favour.
This week at CES, users had a first-hand look at the devices, which have potential to make a dent if they fall into the right hands.
The 2.2 GHz, dual-sim W 3D features a 1080i resolution and 16GB of RAM. The company’s eye-tracking technology is used to activate the 3D feature for movies and games. Unlike the Nintendo 3DS, which allows users to adjust the 3D intensity, there is only one 3D setting on the W 3D. In future titles, game developers can add a setting in their games to adjust the 3D intensity.
