Phil Spencer Confirms Xbox is Planning an Xbox Handheld, But It's a Few Years Away (insider-gaming.com)

What Microsoft has been saying about Xbox lately strongly implies that this is a Windows handheld designed to solve software and user experience problems with using current Windows handhelds. And signs are pointing toward the next Xbox console coming sooner than the next PlayStation and essentially being a PC running a console version of Windows. Some speculation on my part, but I'm not the only one coming to those conclusions.

Would there even be a demand for a dedicated handheld console? PC has "issues" because of the set up, while console is easy because its already built.

The steam deck is already built, + it has desktop mode + more games than xbox and playstation combined?

In all likelihood, this would be a handheld PC that solves the problems that Windows has in that space.
