KONKR Pocket Block is a compact vertical Android handheld built around the MediaTek Helio G85 chip with 2 GB / 3 GB LPDDR4X RAM. Its 3.3-inch 960 x 720 4:3 touchscreen, protected by OCA-laminated tempered glass, suits classic systems from Game Boy and NES all the way to PlayStation and Nintendo DS. Running Android 12, it adds WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, a 3500 mAh battery, rumble and a gyroscope, all in a 165 g body at a reference price of around $79.

The KONKR Pocket Block is a vertical, Game Boy-style handheld powered by the MediaTek Helio G85, an octa-core ARM chip (2x Cortex-A75 and 6x Cortex-A55) clocked at 1.8 - 2.0 GHz, paired with a Mali-G52 MP2 GPU at 1.0 GHz and 2 GB or 3 GB of LPDDR4X RAM. That is more than enough for classics such as Game Boy, NES, SNES, Mega Drive, Game Boy Advance and PlayStation, as well as Nintendo DS. Its supported platform list stretches to Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, PSP, Saturn and even GameCube, 3DS, Wii and PlayStation 2, but with a mid-range performance level those heavier systems are best seen as a bonus rather than the main attraction.

The 3.3-inch LCD runs at 960 x 720 with a 4:3 aspect ratio, a 60 Hz refresh rate and around 364 ppi, so pixel art looks crisp and fills the panel naturally. It is protected by OCA-laminated tempered glass and supports touch input, handy for Nintendo DS titles and Android navigation.

Controls follow the vertical layout: a cross D-pad placed up top, four face buttons, and L1, R1, L2 and R2 shoulder buttons arranged horizontally on the top shelf. There are no analog sticks, which keeps the device compact but limits comfort in 3D games designed around them. Extra keys include two function buttons, an AYA Space button, Menu, Power and dedicated volume buttons, plus rumble and a gyroscope. The plastic body measures 77.4 x 113.2 x 19.8 mm and weighs 165 g.

A 3500 mAh battery charges over USB-C on the bottom edge, next to a 3.5 mm headphone jack and the bottom-facing dual stereo speakers. WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0 cover wireless needs, a microphone is built in, and a heat spreader with ventilation cutouts handles cooling.

The device runs Android 12, opening the door to popular emulator apps and frontends. Storage comes as 32 GB or 64 GB of eMMC, expandable via microSD for larger libraries.

Ideal for: retro fans who want a pocketable, affordable vertical handheld focused on classic 2D systems up to PlayStation and Nintendo DS, with the flexibility of Android.
