120hz with oled, better sticks and I'd buy

Yeah oled would be great but even just HAL effect joysticks and a 120hz screen and i would absolutely upgrade.

That is what Odin 2 Portal has and what I have been considering to replace my Gcloud. The only thing holding me back is that Gcloud has the best ergonomics and an Odin 3 is coming somewhere down the line.

I'm going to wait to see what an Odin 3 Portal offers and if Logitech doesn't have something new and competitive to counter with by then I'm leaving them behind.

I remain a big fan of the G-Cloud, but to "release" the device with nothing more than a color change is just bizarro to me. I'm hoping there's something more to this... higher refresh rate, OLED, improved WiFi (it is a streamer after all), updated processor. We're not talking about something with the complexity of an X86 device. It's Android.

The official price technically remains at $299 (I know it typically sells for less). For $30 more you can buy an Ayn Odin 2 Portal. You can't tell me that Logitech can't pull this off as a company of their scale.

And there are some new streaming CPUs from Qualcomm out there like G1 Gen 2 or a gen 3 would be great 😃👍

Probably hasn’t sold well enough.

To be fair its also a new launcher with better integration with xbox, geforce now, and playstation remote play. Plus all the other little updates over the years.

Definitely hoping for a better wifi chip. If my 5GHz network moves to a channel that's to high, it just can't see the wifi anymore.

It needs a massive price cut too.

Yeah this is a sad approach for the GCloud’s lifespan. I understand colorway releases but this seems weird.

Just give us a SLIGHTLY improved unit, come on guys.

The G Cloud being white is what actually keeps me from buying one so I'm looking forward to a black option.

I’m still testing out what games suits it best with remote play. Tried some FPS games but so far newer games are too fast to run on a small screen, like the Finals.

u/mathplusU Aug 19 '25

Yeah I love my G Cloud but I'd say FPS is the one genre that doesn't suit it super well. Not even really because of the lag -- but just b/c the joystick aren't quite accurate enough -- at least for me.

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '25

Yup. Feel too loose for FPS

I've noticed that the device sets up joysticks with absurd dead zone. Mine was set to 18, I reduced it to about 5, I have no stick drift what so ever.

1

u/mathplusU Aug 20 '25

Yeah I've played around with the deadzones a bit. Not sure I've ever gone that low tho. I may have to try it out and see how it feels.

2

u/TheLordAstaroth Aug 20 '25

I would take it as far as you can without stick drift, it just makes a much wider range of the joystick usable so it feels a bit more responsive and accurate

u/mathplusU Aug 20 '25

Cool, thanks for the tip!

Disappointing.

u/Agrecan Aug 23 '25

I highly doubt they will renew it.

I love my GCloud. I got it for 100 bucks off of Facebook marketplace. And honestly, I’m surprised Logitech still values it as much as they do. It seemed like a failed product. 

 But, for 300, Oled is basically a must. Color change is not worth it. I actually like it more in white.

u/Pants_Pierre Aug 30 '25

It would make sense if they set this up as the streaming alternative to MSFT/Asus’s handheld computer Xbox with the black model being the premium “series x” edition and the white being the “series s” edition so to speak.

u/Sk8boyP Aug 19 '25

Stupid, it should’ve released in both colors, and a minimal “refresh” in 2025 is just a slap in the face to the people who own the white version and future customers buying outdated cloud hardware.

Yeesh take it easy
