Huawei Tron; $150 Tegra-powered Android console

With so many devices being unveiled almost simultaneously at CES, it’s easy to lose track on some of the new gadgets at the convention. And one of the things we almost missed out on is this inexpensive gaming console from Huawei called Tron.

At first glance, the Tron looks like a miniaturized version of the Mac Pro with its cylindrical body and plain paintjob.

The device runs on a Tegra 4 processor with 2GB and 16GB/32GB of internal storage. It can output 1080p through its full-sized HDMI port and supports 4K contents right off the bat.

Huawei Tron specs:
NVidia Tegra 4 T114 processor
2GB RAM
Expandable 16GB/32GB internal storage
Up To 64GB
Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac
Bluetooth 3.0
1x RJ-45 port, 1x USB 3.0 port, 1x Audio jack
1x HDMI port with 4K support
Android 4.2.3
Colors: Black and White

Huawei’s new gaming console comes with pretty sleek wireless controller which has a pair of thumbsticks, a quartet of shoulder triggers, a 4-way D-Pad and TouchPad for navigating your way through its custom ROM.

The Tron is slated to go on sale starting in China starting this April and will retail for USD150. It’s a bit more expensive compared to the Ouya console, but we think that the $20 difference is well worth it considering that the Tron has a better feature set.

CES 2014: Our Complete Coverage here in Las Vegas

We were at Las Vegas for about a week to cover the Samsung launch of their new tablets and smart cameras. We also had a couple of days to visit the exhibition halls of the CES 2014. We received a lot of PR updates and scouted the grounds for some of the more interesting gadgets announced that week.

It was our first time to attend the International Consumer Electronics Show and it gave us a good perspective about the event and compare it to other similar exhibitions we’ve attended before like Computex in Taiwan, IFA in Germany and CommunicAsia in Singapore.

To get a glimpse of what it looks like on the grounds, we did a 3-minute video of what happens in halls.

Here’s a quick list of all the CES related stories we published last week. There were so many so here’s one last time to get updated about them.

We made a 3-minute video of some of the stuff we saw at the CES floor. Check it out below:
