PowKiddy J6 is a horizontal retro gaming handheld launched in 2020. Powered by Actions Semiconductor ATS3603 (1-core, 450 MHz), 64 MB RAM. Features a 4.3" IPS display (800 x 480, 5:3). 1000 mAh battery. Runs Proprietary.
Inside is the Actions Semiconductor ATS3603, a single-core MIPS chip running at 450 MHz, paired with 64 MB of RAM. NES, Game Boy Advance and Master System run fine, and the supported platforms also include Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Sega Genesis / Mega Drive. SNES is playable but usually laggy. PlayStation appears in the platform list too, but given the SNES results, smooth play should not be expected.
The 4.3-inch IPS screen offers 800 x 480 resolution, a 5:3 aspect ratio, roughly 217 ppi and a 60 Hz refresh rate, covered by a plastic lens. It is one of the strongest features of the device at this price.
Controls include an upper cross D-pad, a lower single slidepad, four face buttons and two horizontal shoulder buttons, L1 and R1. Volume has dedicated buttons and power is handled by a switch. There is no rumble. The plastic body measures 172 x 74 x 22 mm and weighs 260 g.
The 1000 mAh battery charges over Mini USB. Connectivity covers USB OTG, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a single rear-facing mono speaker and a microphone. The 16 MB of internal flash storage is complemented by a microSD slot.
The console runs a proprietary operating system, and modding is permitted, although the modest hardware keeps the possibilities limited.
Ideal for: budget-minded players who want to enjoy NES, Game Boy and Game Boy Advance titles on a large screen, as well as kids or newcomers to retro emulation.
