Miyoo A30 is a gaming handheld launched in 2024. Powered by A33 (4-core, 1.5 GHz), 512 MB RAM. Features a 2.8" IPS LCD display (640 x 480). 2600 mAh battery. WiFi 4. Runs Linux.

The Miyoo A30 is a compact horizontal retro handheld launched in 2024, sitting in the $0–50 price bracket with a reference price of $49. Inside is the Allwinner A33 SoC with four Cortex-A7 cores clocked between 1.2 and 1.5 GHz, a Mali-400 MP2 GPU running at 500 MHz and 512 MB of RAM.

That hardware makes it a capable machine for classic emulation. 8-bit and 16-bit systems such as NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Sega Genesis / Mega Drive and Neo Geo are well within reach, while SNES and PlayStation run almost entirely at full speed, with only slight lag on a few FX-chip SNES titles and some 3D PS1 games. The platform list also includes Nintendo DS, Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast and PlayStation Portable, but these go beyond the device's comfortable limit, so PS1 is the realistic ceiling.

The 2.8-inch IPS screen has a 640 x 480 resolution, a 4:3 aspect ratio, a 60 Hz refresh rate and roughly 286 ppi, covered by OCA-laminated tempered glass. The 4:3 format is a natural fit for retro games, although owners note that the screen is on the dim side and the panel is mounted rotated.

For controls, the A30 offers a cross D-pad in the upper position, a single analog stick placed lower, four face buttons, horizontal L1, R1, L2 and R2 shoulder buttons, plus dedicated volume, power and reset buttons. The D-pad has drawn criticism, and the stick clicks in but the click isn't wired to any function. At 127.5 x 57 x 16 mm, 115 g and with a plastic body, it slips easily into a pocket.

The 2600 mAh battery charges via a top-facing USB-C port. Connectivity includes WiFi 4, storage is handled by microSD, and audio comes from a single front-facing mono speaker; there is no headphone jack.

The console runs a Linux-based system, supports the Tina custom OS, and modding is permitted. Beyond the classic emulators, it also handles Pico-8, TIC-80, ScummVM, OpenBOR, MAME and Final Burn Neo.

Ideal for: players looking for a cheap, lightweight pocket handheld for 8-bit and 16-bit games, SNES and PS1, with a 4:3 screen and WiFi, who can live with a dim screen and an underwhelming D-pad.
