The 3000 mAh battery allows up to nine hours of continuous

At $ 30 bucks less than Nexus 7 FHD, but with the same

use it for extreme

I even had to drop the
resolution of the game to get it to run at a decent frame rate, something all the more insulting when you consider I was
using a decent spec
gaming PC to run the game that hasn't struggled with much more demanding titles.
It
uses a checkerboard technique where it takes one pixel and renders it 4 times in 4K
resolution, thus creating a «fake» 4K

While PS4 Pro offers 4K

resolution, it drains the battery faster) right now.
I could argue about all the various tricks that developers will
use to hit 4K
gaming, whether it's checkerboarding or dynamic
resolution, but none of this really matters unless you're a pixel nerd.
