Tencent Unveils 11-Inch Handheld with Lunar Lake Technology: Intel Core Ultra 7 258V, 2.5K 120Hz Display, 32GB RAM, and 1TB Storage

If small screens have left you wanting more, Tencent might have just the ticket for all you handheld gaming aficionados. According to a report from Videocardz, Tencent has unveiled a fresh contender in the handheld market, which is arguably more akin to a portable console. Meet the Sunday Dragon 3D One. This beast of a handheld is driven by an Intel Lunar Lake CPU, featuring a gigantic 11-inch screen, perfect for anyone who can manage to juggle it.

Under the hood, the 3D One is packed with the Core Ultra 7 258V, equipped with four P-Cores (Lion Cove), four E-Cores (Skymont), and an Arc 140V iGPU integrated graphics setup boasting eight Xe2 cores. After putting Intel’s Lunar Lake processors through their paces, they now stand toe-to-toe with AMD’s Strix Point (that’s the Ryzen AI 300 APUs for those keeping track) in the gaming arena. When it comes to memory, you’ll find 32GB of LPDDR5X-8533 RAM, seamlessly integrated and non-upgradable, stuck right onto the CPU die. However, the “high-speed” 1TB SSD should ideally support enhancements if you’re looking to push storage speed or capacity further.

This device might just be the first Lunar Lake handheld in your hands later this year, predating the MSI Claw 8 AI+, which is penciled in for an early 2025 launch. But keep your excitement in check—Videocardz suggests that the 3D One is still in its prototype phase. At 11 inches, with a resolution of 2560×1440 and a scintillating refresh rate of 120Hz, the 3D One could almost double as a compact laptop given its dimensions. On the other hand, GPD’s soon-to-be-released Pocket 4 mini-laptops cap out at a more modest 8.8 inches. Tencent has integrated cutting-edge real-time eye-tracking technology to deliver an immersive glasses-free 3D (autostereoscopic) experience, with support for titles like Path of Exile, Blade & Soul, and Arena Breakout: Infinite already optimized for this tech.

You can expect some serious customization with pre-installed controllers, featuring Hall Effect joysticks, linear triggers, and a duo of programmable rear buttons. Plus, removing the controllers and replacing them with third-party options is a breeze—as long as they’re compatible with the 3D One’s unique dimensions. Charging won’t be an issue either, thanks to support for 100W fast charging, though the battery specs remain under wraps.

The 3D One leans into an unorthodox design ethos—perhaps better described as an extravagance. Typically, we expect handheld devices to fit comfortably in your grip for extensive playtime. But sometimes, the charm of a sprawling display simplifies the breathtaking visual splendor of a game. Keep in mind, the 3D One is still a work in progress and could be limited in its release based on location and niche market appeal.
