Tecno Pocket Go, Dynamic 1 robot dog with AR glasses unveiled at MWC 2024: Key features

Tecno unveiled its alternate reality (AR) gaming set and a robot dog based on a German Shepherd at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 in Barcelona. The AR gaming set, called Tecno Pocket Go, is claimed to be the world’s first Windows-based AR gaming kit and promises a 6D immersive gaming experience. Meanwhile, the robot dog is called Dynamic 1 and is an AI-supported biomorphic dog that the company reportedly claims to be the “ideal pet-like companion for the future.”

Powered by AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS processor, Tecno Pocket Go comes with 16GB LPDDR5 RAM and 1TB PCle 4.0 SSD storage. It is backed by a 50Wh replaceable battery. Although it is said to have a PC-level large cooling fan, the wireless console is claimed to be 50 percent smaller and 30 percent lighter than other Windows gaming handheld consoles.

The Pocket Go console is to be paired with an AR headset called AR Pocket Vision, GSMArena reports. The glasses also feature a 0.71-inch micro-OLED screen that is said to provide vision support equivalent to a 6-inch television from up to 215 meters away. It also has adjustable diopter settings up to 600 degrees.

As per the above report, the Tecno Pocket Go also comes with a Tecno Smart Box that works as a central console to control games and settings. It will also enable the AR Pocket Vision and Pocket Go Wireless Controller to connect to other Tecno devices and act as portable workstations.

Tecno also unveiled Tecno Dynamic 1 which is an AI-supported robotic dog with a 15,000mAh battery. It is said to allow a wide range of control, including smartphone, remote control, and voice commands. The machine is powered by an unspecified octa-core chipset and is equipped with Intel’s RealSense D430 camera with binoculars and infrared sensors. With a torque output of 45 Nm/kg, the machine can perform multiple physical tasks, such as going up and down stairs, jumping, shaking hands, and even doing hand stands.

The company has not yet confirmed the launch of these products. However, there is every possibility that Tecno Dynamic 1 will not even be commercialized. It may simply remain an exercise that proves the technical prowess and progress of the firm’s research and development.
