English term or phrase: handheld game
Definition from What Games Are:
Handheld game is a loose term to describe any game played on a dedicated portable gaming device, such as the Nintendo 3DS or the Sony PS Vita. This is distinct from mobile games, which are played on devices like the iPhone. Handheld games are thought to be a doomed category by many industry insiders because of their price compared to mobile games.

Example sentence(s):
  • The best handheld game consoles come with buttons, a solid battery life, and, of course, great games. What To Pack
  • Nintendo has dominated the handheld game for decades now. Its new Switch Lite is just the latest in a staggeringly long line of super-successful handheld consoles. Esquire
  • Another great benefit when it comes to handheld games is that they don’t take up a lot of space in your bag or your packet. Most handheld consoles just a little bigger than the size of a phone, making them incredibly easy to carry around with you where ever you go. The Xbox Club

Definition from Wikipedia:
Igraća konzola je naziv za posebni računalni stroj koji je namijenjen isključivo za računalnih ili video igara. Prve konzole pojavile su se 1967. u SAD-u, obično kao strojevi koji su imali jednu igru ili kasnije manji broj igara preko silikonskih memorijskih čipova. Pravi bum konzole su doživjele 1972. pojavom igre Pong koju je na tržište izvela američka tvrtka Atari, dok prvu konzolu s izmjenjivim silikonskim memorijskim kasetama VCS 2600 izbacila je također tvrtka Atari 1977. Trenutno u ovoj industriji dominira Sony PlayStation 4, na drugom mjestu je Microsoft Xbox One dok na trećem mjestu Nintendo Switch. Također postoje i male prijenosne konzole koje su veličine dlana kao Nintendova porodica dlanovnih igraćih konzola 3DS, DS i Game Boy.
