On August 27th, an industry insider revealed additional specifications about the anticipated PlayStation 6 handheld gaming device, suggesting the console might feature a docking station enabling television connectivity and increased processing speeds. The leaker drew comparisons between Sony's proposed portable system and Nintendo's Switch 2 docking mechanism, highlighting performance variations between handheld and docked modes for the potential PS6 device.

Although Sony hasn't officially disclosed details about their next-generation gaming hardware, speculation continues to grow regarding the company's future direction. Recent reports from July indicated both PlayStation 6 and the upcoming Xbox console might utilize AMD technology for the third consecutive generation, with particular focus on AMD's RDNA 5 graphics architecture. Industry projections suggest both next-generation systems could launch around 2027, though no official release dates have been confirmed.

In a follow-up to previous rumors about the handheld PS6's specifications, a gaming industry insider provided expanded information about the portable console. According to an August 27 video from YouTube creator Moore's Law Is Dead, the portable PS6 version—codenamed "Canis"—would incorporate a docking station allowing for higher clock speeds. Functioning similarly to Nintendo Switch 2's dock, the PS6 portable's docking solution would provide significant performance improvements, potentially increasing clock speeds from 1.2GHz to approximately 1.65GHz. When docked, the PS6 handheld might deliver more than double the ray tracing capability of the PS5, though its rasterization performance could slightly trail the PS5 without specific game optimization.

The rumored PS6 handheld is expected to maintain backward compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games, mirroring capabilities of its standard console counterpart. Powering the device would be a 6-core AMD Zen 6 processor with RDNA 5 integrated graphics. Moore's Law Is Dead further claimed the PS6 handheld could possess approximately 60% greater computational bandwidth than the upcoming ROG Xbox Ally X, which utilizes a Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme chipset.

Considering Sony's official silence regarding their next gaming platform, all rumors should be approached with appropriate skepticism. With competing reports suggesting Microsoft's next Xbox might outperform the PS6, the dynamics of the upcoming console generation remain uncertain and highly anticipated by the gaming community.
