BOYHOM R40XX Pro is a gaming handheld launched in 2025. Powered by Cortex-A35 (4-core, 1.3 GHz - 1.5 GHz). 4500 mAh battery. Runs Linux.

The BOYHOM R40XX Pro is a retro handheld launched in 2025, built in a vertical form factor that recalls the classic portable consoles. Inside sits a Rockchip RK3326 SoC with four Cortex-A35 cores running between 1.3 and 1.5 GHz, paired with a dual-core Mali-G31 MP2 GPU clocked at 650 MHz.

This hardware is at its best with 8-bit and 16-bit systems: Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, NES, SNES and Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, along with the original PlayStation. The list of supported platforms also includes Nintendo 64, Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable, Sega Dreamcast and Sega Saturn, but these are far more demanding for a processor in this class, so results vary from game to game.

The 4.2-inch IPS screen has a resolution of 1024 x 768 and a pixel density of around 305 pixels per inch, delivering a sharp, detailed image. Its 4:3 aspect ratio matches the original proportions of most classic consoles, so games fill the display without black bars on the sides.

The vertical layout keeps the device compact and easy to hold in both hands, a familiar design for anyone who grew up with Nintendo's portables. It feels especially natural for Game Boy titles and games built around simple controls.

The 4500 mAh battery provides a generous energy reserve for a device using an efficient chip like the RK3326, well suited to extended play sessions away from a charger.

The console runs Linux, and modding is permitted. Beyond the preinstalled system, the R40XX Pro supports ArkOS, one of the best-known emulation-focused distributions for RK3326 devices, giving access to a mature interface and plenty of customisation options.

Ideal for: retro fans who want a compact vertical handheld with a sharp 4:3 screen for Game Boy, NES, SNES, Mega Drive and PlayStation libraries, and users who value the freedom offered by ArkOS.
