While elaborating on why such a product would make sense, even if it’s for cloud gaming, he said:
“A lot of the encoding for the video streaming for cloud, some of that’s stored natively on your device. That’s why the PC version of Xcloud tends to have a better image quality than if you just run it through a browser or something else.”

Hence, according to the reporter, a dedicated Xbox handheld will be relevant since it will offer better video streaming. That’s because it will be natively designed purely for that specific objective.
Time will tell if this huge speculation turns out to be true or not. Given the track record of Corden, though, things are looking quite exciting in the near future.
