Snail W3D is a horizontal gaming handheld. Powered by the MediaTek MT6595 with 2 GB RAM. Runs Android 4.4.
The 5.5-inch screen has a resolution of 1920 x 1080. The result is a sharp Full HD image that suits both pixel art and detailed interfaces. The high pixel density keeps text and graphics looking clean, even at this compact size.
For controls, the W3D uses a horizontal layout with dual analog sticks, a cross-shaped D-pad and L1 and R1 shoulder buttons. The two sticks are welcome for 3D games and twin-stick titles. The lack of a second pair of shoulder buttons, however, may mean remapping controls for systems that rely on L2/R2.
Power comes from a 4200 mAh battery. Connectivity covers WiFi 4, Bluetooth 4.0 and a 4G LTE mobile network. That makes online play and streaming possible on the go, without depending on a hotspot. The 16 GB of internal storage can be expanded via microSD, which is handy for larger game and ROM libraries.
On the software side, the console runs Android 4.4, and its modding policy is permissive. The older Android version may limit compatibility with recent apps. In return, the freedom to modify the device gives the community room for tweaks and customization.
Ideal for: emulation and Android gaming fans who want a Full HD screen, dual analog sticks and 4G LTE connectivity in a horizontal form factor, and who are willing to accept the limits of an older operating system.
