Handheld game console

A portable electronic device designed primarily to play video games, with built-in controls and a screen. Unlike a phone, it is built around dedicated gaming controls and play.

Game controller: An input device that lets a player control a video game. Buttons, directional controls, and sticks provide the built-in inputs.
Embedded system: A computer built into a larger device to perform dedicated functions. A handheld console is a specialized computer, not merely a screen with controls.
Game Boy: Nintendo's line of handheld game consoles, first released in 1989. Its long-lived design made portable gaming a mass-market activity.
Smartphone: A mobile phone with advanced computing capabilities, internet access, and applications. Phones can run games, but their general-purpose design and touch controls differ from dedicated consoles.
Portable gaming: Playing video games on devices designed to be carried and used away from a fixed setup. Handheld consoles made gaming possible during travel and in brief periods away from home.
Liquid-crystal display: A flat-panel display that forms images by controlling how liquid crystals transmit light. Many handheld consoles use LCD screens to show games.
Operating system: System software that manages a computer's hardware and provides services to applications. It coordinates the console's hardware and launches games.
Atari Lynx: A color-screen handheld game console released by Atari in 1989. Its color display and advanced hardware contrasted with the original Game Boy.
Tablet computer: A portable computer with a touchscreen display and no permanently attached physical keyboard. Tablets support gaming but lack the built-in game controls typical of handheld consoles.
Pokémon: A media franchise centered on fictional creatures that players collect, train, and battle. The original games helped make the Game Boy a social and commercial success.
