FunKey S is a gaming handheld launched in 2021. Powered by V3s (1-core, 1.2 GHz), 64 MB RAM. Features a 1.54" IPS LCD display (240 x 240). 410 mAh battery. Runs Linux.

The FunKey S is a micro clamshell handheld launched in 2021 that puts extreme portability first. Measuring just 42.5 x 44.5 x 13.8 mm and weighing only 30 g, it is one of the smallest flip-style retro consoles around, built from a plastic shell.

Inside sits the Allwinner V3s SoC, with a single Cortex-A7 core at 1.2 GHz, paired with 64 MB of DDR2 RAM. Modest as that hardware is, it covers a generous list of platforms: Atari 2600, CHIP-8, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, NES, Sega Master System, Game Gear, Genesis / Mega Drive, TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine, Neo Geo Pocket and Neo Geo Pocket Color, WonderSwan and WonderSwan Color, plus ScummVM. SNES and PS1 games run almost all at full speed, with slight lag only on a few FX chip SNES titles and some 3D PS1 games.

The 1.54-inch IPS display has a 240 x 240 resolution in a square 1:1 format, giving a pixel density of 220.4 ppi and a crisp image for such a small panel. The screen is covered by a plastic lens.

For controls, the FunKey S offers a PSP-style separated cross D-pad in the upper position, four face buttons, L1 and R1 shoulder buttons and a Power/Function button. There is no analog stick and no rumble, so it is best suited to 2D games. Volume and brightness are adjusted through button combinations, and audio comes from a single top-facing mono speaker.

The 410 mAh battery charges over Micro USB, and games are stored on a microSD card. The device runs Linux with the RetroFE frontend for browsing your library. It sits in the $50–75 price category, with a reference price of about $70.

Ideal for: retro fans who want a tiny pocket console for quick sessions of Game Boy, NES, SNES or Mega Drive games, collectors of unusual gadgets, and anyone looking for an ultra-portable gaming device at an affordable price.
