Foldable OLED screens are predominantly found in high-end smartphones and laptops, yet One-Netbook is introducing this technology in a new gaming device. Their new OneXSugar Wallet resembles the company’s foldable OneXSugar Sugar 1 handheld released earlier this year. However, rather than having two screens, the Wallet handheld expands to display a single large 8.01-inch OLED screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio, as noted by Retro Handhelds.
The OneXSugar Wallet was revealed on Weibo, China yesterday, but details regarding its features and functions are limited. The foldable OLED display boasts a resolution of 2480 x 1860 pixels, and it will operate using an unnamed “Qualcomm gaming platform flagship processor,” though its performance and emulation capabilities remain unclear.
According to images and a video shared by One-Netbook, the OneXSugar Wallet will include a typical set of controls featuring asymmetrical thumbsticks, four action buttons, and a D-pad positioned on either side of the lower portion of its display. Additionally, there will be shoulder buttons and triggers located on the rear of the handheld alongside a pair of front-facing speakers situated at the top of the screen. The major uncertainty lies in the cost of the handheld. Some $1,000 handheld consoles exist, while foldable screen devices like the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 are closer to a $2,000 price point. Will gamers adopt the OneXSugar Wallet if it carries a similar price tag? Perhaps its naming as the Wallet holds significance.
