Arc introduces its first gaming handheld, the Arc X1, in India. The device is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon G2 Gen 2 Gaming Platform and runs OwlOS, a custom Android-based operating system made specifically for the handheld.

Arc X1 uses an 8GB LPDDR5X RAM configuration with 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage, and it includes a microSD card slot for expansion. It features a 7-inch LCD display and an active cooling system with a built-in fan designed for extended play sessions. Both outlets also describe controller-focused hardware, with NDTV highlighting analogue sticks, Hall-effect triggers, and programmable rear buttons.

NDTV adds additional context around product development, stating the handheld was developed over 16 months with input from Arc’s gaming community. GSMArena.com focuses more on the device’s core specifications and cooling approach. Neither outlet provides details on availability, pricing, or exact launch timing in the excerpted text.
