CoolBaby RS18 is a gaming handheld launched in 2020. Powered by Cortex-A7 (4-core, 1.3 GHz). Features a 7" display.
The 7-inch display is one of the console's biggest strengths. The generous size makes retro games easy to follow and gives classic home-console titles plenty of room on screen.
On the controls front, the RS18 offers dual analog thumbsticks with L3/R3 in an asymmetric layout, a separated-button D-pad placed in the lower position, four face buttons and four horizontally oriented shoulder buttons: L1, R1, L2 and R2. A Back button and dedicated volume buttons round out the layout. The body is made of plastic, and there is no rumble.
Charging is handled through a USB-C port, while USB-OTG lets you connect peripherals. The Mini HDMI output lets you move your game to a TV or monitor, and the 3.5mm jack is handy for headphones. Audio comes from a single rear-facing mono speaker.
Modding is permitted on this device, giving enthusiasts the freedom to tailor the software experience to their own preferences.
Ideal for: players who want a large 7-inch screen for classic emulation up to PlayStation, with dual analog sticks and the option to hook the console up to a TV over Mini HDMI.
