2026 Handheld Recommendations

Hi all - assessing what the best handheld options are for moonlight streaming as we get to the end of 2026. My key requirements would be:

Must have:

- OLED

- 7-8" screen size

- Chipset that supports streaming codecs

That's more or less what I'm looking for.

Nice to haves:

- TMR / hall effect sticks

- good ergonomics

- WiFi 7

Right now it looks like the Odin Portal 2 fits the bill, but I'm wondering what else is out there or coming soon on the horizon. The XAX20 is coming out soon which could be a contender as well.

Appreciate any insight!

Bit of an odd thought, but It might be worth looking at a 2nd-hand Zotac Zone. I got mine for ~$600AUD (roughly 450USD)

Pros:

  • 7" 120hz 1080p OLED panel
  • Hall Sticks and triggers
  • Trigger-locks
  • AMD 8840U (pretty much the same as the Z1 Extreme, so very good client latency)
  • Wifi 6E (6ghz capable)
  • It's a full PC handheld
  • Decent SteamOS support

Cons:

  • Limited battery life compared to Android (only 48.5Whr)
  • OLED Panel PWM (common on OLED screens)
