Qualcomm is reportedly working on Android powered Nintendo Switch

Qualcomm is reportedly working on a Nintendo Switch-like gaming console that Android will power. The console is expected to debut sometime early next year at a price similar to the Switch.

Nintendo Switch has been a much sought-after gaming console around the world since its introduction. Part of its dominance in sales was backed by the fact that none of the major technology players had entered the segment as a competition. That, however, might be about to change soon. Renowned chipset maker Qualcomm is reportedly looking to bring a Nintendo Switch-like gaming console to its international markets. The confirmation comes from a report by Android Police that states that Android will power the upcoming gaming device. The report mentions that Qualcomm’s gaming device will have detachable Joycon-style controllers on the console’s left and right sides. These controllers will be manufactured by a “premium supplier in the controller space”, but the exact name of the supplier is yet unknown.
