GPD's upcoming Win 5 handheld, powered by the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chip, will require either a 180W charger or an 80Wh external battery pack due to its lack of an internal battery. Handheld expert Cary "The Phawx" Golomb revealed that the device, shaped like a PlayStation Vita, prioritizes space for the powerful chip over internal battery capacity. The Win 5 is expected to be showcased at Chinajoy 2025, offering a potent handheld gaming experience, albeit with the inconvenience of external power requirements. The 'backpack' battery will reportedly be sold separately.
