OneNet Technology have been behind some pretty crazy game consoles, including the ONEXPLAYER Sugar 1, which was a modular handheld that came to reality this year.

Now they're working on something even more special, one of the first ever handheld consoles with a foldable display.

It's called the ONEX SUGAR Wallet, according to ITHome.

The Wallet featured a compact and portable clamshell design and was packed with a "flagship Qualcomm CPU", paired with an 8" 2470 x 1860 foldable display, that can be used in split-screen mode if need be.

The top half, when opened, features embossed areas for the buttons and analogue sticks to rest inside, giving an even sleeker clamshell design when compacted, and front-facing speakers are hidden in them too.

You can see small "Sugar" touches around the device too, such as symbols and logos. The display is huge, and even better, it's a 4:3 ratio, allowing us retro gaming folks to take emulation to a whole new pocketable size of 8 inches.

There's not much else to go by in terms of information, nor release date. With a screen like this, and the CPU mentioned it's certainly not going to be a cheap device.

Likely being priced anywhere from $500 up, or even $1,000 beyond if it's the first of its kind. Only time will tell, but we'll be sure to keep you updated when we know more.
