Unveiling the Ultimate Surprise: The 11-Inch Nintendo 3DS Handheld You Didn’t Know You Craved!

CES has unveiled a variety of unexpected devices, including a 27-inch TV that you can toss around and a foldable laptop, but my top pick is undoubtedly this 11-inch gaming handheld that offers a glasses-free 3D experience.

It is the result of a partnership between Intel and Tencent – the parent company of PUBG – and it’s named the Sunday Dragon 3D One…indeed, that’s correct. Setting the name aside, the gaming handheld closely resembles the Acer Nitro Blaze 11, featuring detachable controllers and a foldable kickstand.

Undoubtedly, the standout feature of this gadget is its glasses-free 3D screen, which is impressively realistic without inducing significant eye strain. This is made possible by the eye-tracking technology that enhances its lenticular, glasses-free 3D display.

It employs technology we’ve observed in other autostereoscopic screens like the Acer Predator SpatialLabs View 27 and Samsung Odyssey 3D. However, it truly feels like you are holding a portal to another realm, thanks to its portable design.

On the inside, the handheld houses an Intel Arrowlake-U chip (specifically the Core Ultra 7 258V) with 32GB LPDDR5x RAM and 1TB of storage. The prospects of this gadget ever arriving in the US seem remote, particularly now that the US government has classified Tencent as a military enterprise of China.

However, I remain hopeful that it will be rebranded or that another manufacturer (e.g., Nintendo) will produce a comparable device down the line.
