iBen L1 / X is a gaming handheld launched in 2013. Powered by A31S (4-core, 1.2 GHz), 2 GB RAM. Features a 7" IPS LCD Touchscreen display (1280 x 800). 5500 mAh battery. Runs Android.

The iBen L1 / X is a horizontal handheld launched in 2013, built around the Allwinner A31S SoC with four ARM Cortex-A7 cores clocked between 1.0 and 1.2 GHz, PowerVR SGX544 MP2 graphics at 350 MHz and 2 GB of DDR3 RAM. It is an early-generation Android gaming device and is now discontinued.

On the emulation side, it runs SNES FX-chip games and 3D PlayStation titles at 60 FPS, comfortably covering systems such as NES, Game Boy Advance, Sega Mega Drive, Neo Geo, CPS1–CPS3 and MAME. Nintendo 64 and Nintendo DS games are playable but can be laggy. The platform list also includes MS-DOS, ScummVM, Pico-8 and many classic computers such as the ZX Spectrum and Sharp X1.

The 7-inch IPS touchscreen offers WXGA 1280 x 800 resolution in a 16:10 aspect ratio, around 216 ppi and a 60 Hz refresh rate, protected by tempered glass. Audio comes from dual front-facing stereo speakers.

Controls include two symmetric analog slidepads, a cross D-pad placed low, four face buttons, L1 and R1 shoulder buttons, plus dedicated Power, volume, Back, Home and Menu buttons. The console also offers rumble and a microphone. The plastic body measures 250 x 121.5 x 19 mm, making it a large device closer to a tablet in size.

The 5500 mAh battery charges over Micro USB. Connectivity covers WiFi, Bluetooth and even 3G, along with Mini HDMI video output and two 3.5mm headphone jacks. The 16 GB of internal storage can be expanded via microSD.

The operating system is Android 4.1, which allows installing emulators and native games, although this version is now dated and limits compatibility with modern apps.

Ideal for: collectors and retro fans who want an Android handheld with a large screen, solid emulation up to PlayStation 1 and the option to hook up to a TV over HDMI.
