PowKiddy RGB10X is a horizontal retro gaming handheld launched in 2024. Powered by RK3326 (4-core, 1.5 GHz), 1GB DDR3 RAM and Mali-G31 MP2 GPU. Features a 3.5" IPS LCD display (640 x 480, 4:3). 2800 mAh battery. Runs Linux.

The PowKiddy RGB10X is a horizontal retro handheld launched in 2024, built around the Rockchip RK3326, a quad-core Cortex-A35 chip clocked at 1.3 – 1.5 GHz. It is paired with a Mali-G31 MP2 GPU at 650 MHz and 1 GB of DDR3 RAM. This setup runs SNES titles, including FX-chip games, and 3D PS1 games at 60 FPS. 2D PSP games are mostly playable, while 3D PSP titles need frameskip. On N64 and Dreamcast, the easier-to-emulate games run best.

The platform list is impressive, stretching from the Atari 2600, Commodore 64, Amiga and MS-DOS to Neo Geo, the Game Boy family, Nintendo DS and Sega Genesis / Mega Drive. It also supports engines such as OpenBOR, ScummVM, Pico-8 and EasyRPG.

The 3.5-inch IPS screen has a 640 x 480 resolution, a 4:3 aspect ratio and a 60 Hz refresh rate. Its density of roughly 229 ppi delivers a crisp image. The 4:3 format is a natural match for most classic games, and the OCA-laminated tempered glass reduces reflections while protecting the panel.

For controls, the cross D-pad sits up top and the single analog stick, with L3, sits below it. The handheld has four face buttons, four horizontal shoulder buttons (L1, R1, L2, R2) and rumble. Dedicated volume buttons, plus Power and Reset, round out the layout. The plastic body measures 145 x 73.2 x 17 mm and weighs 207 g.

The battery is rated at 2800 mAh, and two USB-C ports, placed on the top and bottom, handle charging, with USB-C OTG support. The 3.5 mm headphone jack and the mono speaker both face downward. Dual microSD slots give flexibility for the system and your game library.

The RGB10X runs Linux, and the manufacturer's policy permits modding. That leaves users free to customize the software and the emulation experience.

Ideal for: players looking for an affordable retro handheld, around 40 USD, with a 4:3 screen and a huge library of classic systems up to PS1 and some PSP.
