Joyou G500 is a gaming handheld. Runs Android.
The Joyou G500 is a horizontal handheld console built around the Android operating system. Its landscape-oriented layout follows the tradition of classic handhelds, with the controls placed on either side of the display, a configuration that matches the way most games are designed to be played.
Thanks to the Android platform, the G500 can tap into the wide range of emulators available for the system, making it a natural fit for revisiting games from classic consoles. Beyond emulation, the device also has access to native Android games, so the same handheld can run both retro titles and modern mobile games.
On the controls side, the G500 offers a directional pad made of separated buttons, positioned in the upper area, an approach reminiscent of arcade controllers and some classic consoles. Below it sits a single analog slidepad, a low-profile control that covers games requiring analog movement. On the opposite side are four face buttons, the standard configuration for most classic and modern games.
The body is made of plastic, a common material for handheld consoles that keeps the construction simple and approachable. The horizontal form factor provides a natural hand position, with the directional pad and slidepad on one side and the action buttons on the other.
Android also brings a significant software advantage: the freedom to install apps, choose between different emulators and set up dedicated gaming front ends. The open nature of the platform lets each user tailor the experience to their preferences, from organising a game library to remapping controls.
Ideal for: players who want a horizontal Android handheld, emulation fans who prefer a directional pad with separated buttons, and users looking for a versatile device that combines retro gaming with mobile titles.
