Why I Love the Logitech G Cloud
Why I Love the Logitech G Cloud
I have been meaning to do a video on this device for a while and because of that, this won’t be a standard review. This is more about me sharing my thoughts on the Logitech G Cloud handheld device and why I love this device so much. There I said it. I’m sure the comment section is probably going to blow up from this.

I think the G Cloud is an underrated gaming machine. It's great for cloud gaming & emulation.
Just a heads up, the G Cloud now supports video out. They added it in a firmware update... and I didn't even know that was possible. So now, not only has it replaces my other handheld but it's also replaced my consoles. ❤ I love this thing.

Same! I got a hdmi-usbc dongle then connect a Bluetooth controller and boom it's a console!
I think $199 is the sweet spot for Remote play devices. I been waiting years for price to come down. Finally pulled the trigger today for $299. Can’t wait to get it!

$399CAD seems a bit on the high side for me, I’m with you on the $299 price point. If this goes on sale I might pick one up, otherwise I’m going to grab the PS Portal.

Ooo that is amazing! :::high five::: ✋
I love this thing. My favorite handheld. Feels great. Enjoying android games and PS4 remote play. I'm sry but remote playing my PS4 in a comfortable device with long battery>>>>>>> every reason have given me on why I should get steamdeck. But the fact I also has access to pretty much anything you can do on an android tablet is also a big thing that I love about it.
I paid 350 for mines and no complaints at all it does alot I mean a lot so 350 ain't shit

I got mine from Logitech for $250 a few weeks ago. I think that price is competitive. I play Playstation remote play and Xbox gamepass. Plus the emulation is sweet for retro games. This is your ALL-IN-ONE handheld. 12 hours of gaming, great monitor and its light and doesn't get hot. My go to handheld. 💯🔥
it has better screen than the Steamdeck

Yes it does!
The only reason I'll get it's because of the battery life and that I can play mobile games not just cloud gaming
I would've picked it if it's cheaper. It's a comfortable looking device. At the price, it's better to grab odin 2 which is far more capable and powerful.

Agreed. Logitech needs to bring the price down to $200-$225. They would fly off the shelves.
The G cloud is awesome imo. I only use it for Gamepass but man it plays and looks great. Granted I supposedly have the best Wi-Fi available, I get no lag. Sometimes I’ll screen play from the Xbox but I mainly play from gamepass.

I was thinking getting a handheld device to play some android games, some say why not just use your phone and personally i dont like playing games on my phone. So far this, abxylute, and ayn odin been on my radar. But would it be worth it to get device like this just for android gaming?
@RetroFunTech

So, just my opinion, if you don't have an Android handheld yet, maybe wait. The Ayn Odin is actually going to go on sale 8/22/23. (tomorrow) so maybe check that out. I personally haven't tried out the Abxylute but it definitely looks interesting. I don't think it's as powerful (if I am remembering correctly) as the LGC or even the Odin devices. It also depends on what systems you are looking to emulate. Maybe even look into the Retroid Pocket 3/3+. Smaller screen but great performance and almost just as comfy if you get a grip for it. I also am not a huge fan of using my phone for gaming, if I can help it. Once you have a retro handheld, you will understand. It's like a console/gameboy that you can just pick up and game and not have to be distracted with all the phone things.
do you have tutorials on how to download the emulators or games?
The screen is nice. I just don't like the fact that the device is pricey and the library for Gamecube and up is kind of limited. :D

Same here. There is a market for it. It might be small since they made the price so high. It's literally the most comfortable handheld I have used. I love it! What do you play on it.... more Android Games or Emulation stuff? Or a mix of both? Just curious. Thanks for watching!

I play both! I’ve been running through Streets of Rage 4 and having a blast. Same with Shredders Revenge. So smooth and comfortable. On the emulation side I’ve been playing a ton of Dreamcast. Upscaled on this huge screen it looks incredible. A little Xbox streaming too. This device does it all without hiccups.

While it can emulate I bought it for streaming only for PSPlay and steam link and I will be getting Xbox game pass

See, here's my big question. I'm not worried about the feel, or the frontend, or even the price really. My question is: is it portable? Do you feel comfortable taking it anywhere? My switch almost never leaves the dock cuz I can't slip it in my pocket like I did in the 3DS days. But I find myself playing my Retroid Flip or my Surface Duo (for DS stuff and some PS2 stuff with my Nacon MG-X controller) all the time because they slip right into a pocket. Especially the flip. It's the big reason I didn't shell out for a steam deck either. It just seemed way too big and bulky to be the portable experience I wanted, but I'm kinda feeling like I want to invest in a more powerful handheld and am being left with fewer and fewer options due to my want of portability. Good to hear that the G Cloud is powerful enough to really play some good stuff tho. When it first dropped, I'd heard it was kind of a mess, so I'm glad it's kind of found a market at least (even if it's a "wait for it to go on sale for around $100" market.)

So it's portable in the sense that if you were to go on a big trip and knew that you had some downtime and wanted to game comfortably with it, then yes. Also, get a case. I throw it in my backpack with the case and it's fine. However, if you're just running errands or in a situation where you want a handheld with you in case you can play for a few minutes here and there.... then I would say stick with what you are already using, the flip. Me, I go with the Miyoo Mini or the v90.

Make sure you buy the full price on and not third party seller because I had to return mine to Amazon due to seller phone pin and Google account still synced and it wouldnt let me passed login screen I even did hard factory reset didn't help even Logitech said ask the seller for code and to remove Google account. Just be careful while buying get the full price.
