A New Challenger Approaches: Zotac’s Steam Deck Rival

As the handheld gaming PC market continues to heat up, a new contender has thrown its hat into the ring. Zotac, a well-known brand in the PC gaming space, has teased a Steam Deck competitor, and it’s packing a feature that sets it apart from the ROG Ally.

AMOLED Display: A Game-Changer?

The Zotac Zone, as it’s been dubbed, boasts a 7-inch AMOLED display, a feature that only one other PC gaming handheld can claim. This is a significant development, as it could give the Zone an edge over its competitors. The Steam Deck, currently the best handheld gaming PC, will need to watch its back.

Adjustable Triggers and More

In addition to its impressive display, the Zone will feature adjustable triggers, a staple of the best PC controllers. While details are scarce, Zotac has confirmed that functional prototypes will be available at Computex next week. We’ll be on the ground, bringing you the latest news and previews as they happen.

Design and Specs

A low-resolution image posted to social media gives us a glimpse into the Zone’s design. A light strip runs across the rear of the handheld, and a large vent sits between the controller grips. The thumbsticks appear to be asymmetrical, similar to the Asus ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go. Rumors suggest that the Zone might utilize Intel’s Core Ultra APU, but Zotac has confirmed that it will instead opt for an AMD Ryzen APU.

The Future of Handheld Gaming

As the handheld gaming PC market continues to evolve, it’s exciting to see new players enter the fray. Zotac’s Zone has the potential to shake things up, and we can’t wait to learn more about it at Computex. Will it be enough to dethrone the Steam Deck? Only time will tell.
