Its 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 primary display and 1280 x 960 secondary display use AMOLED touch technology at 120 Hz, a natural fit for Nintendo DS and 3DS games. Running Android 16 with a 6000 mAh battery, Hall Effect sticks and active cooling, it targets emulation all the way up to PlayStation 2, GameCube, Wii U and Nintendo Switch.
The screens are the centrepiece: a 5.5-inch primary display at 1920 x 1080 in 16:9 and a secondary display at 1280 x 960 in 4:3. AMOLED touch technology, a 120 Hz refresh rate and roughly 400 PPI deliver a sharp picture, protected by OCA-laminated tempered glass. The dual-screen layout is a perfect match for Nintendo DS and 3DS games.
For controls, the console offers symmetric dual thumbsticks with Hall Effect technology and L3/R3 clicks, an upper-placed cross D-pad, four face buttons and L1, R1, L2, R2 shoulder buttons with analog triggers. Back, Home, Power and dedicated volume buttons round out the layout. It measures 162 x 95.5 x 22.4 mm, weighs 350 g and uses a plastic body.
The 6000 mAh battery charges over USB-C, while a cooling system with heatsink, fan and ventilation cutouts helps sustain performance during demanding sessions. Connectivity includes WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4, plus USB-C video out and a 3.5mm headphone jack, all placed on the bottom edge. Dual stereo speakers face the front.
The console runs Android 16, opening the door to a wide range of emulators, front-ends and apps. The 128 GB of UFS 2.1 internal storage can be expanded via microSD for large game libraries.
Ideal for: players who want a powerful clamshell handheld with dual AMOLED screens, able to emulate everything from 8-bit classics up to PlayStation 2, Wii U and Nintendo Switch, including an authentic DS and 3DS experience.
