PowKiddy RGB20 is a vertical retro gaming handheld launched in 2020. Powered by RK3326 (4-core, 1.5 GHz), 1GB DDR3 RAM and Mali-G31 MP2 GPU. Features a 3.5" IPS LCD display (480 x 320, 3:2). 3000 mAh battery and Bluetooth. Runs Linux with ArkOS support.

The PowKiddy RGB20 is a vertical retro gaming handheld launched in 2020. At its core sits the Rockchip RK3326 SoC, with four Cortex-A35 cores running at 1.3 - 1.5 GHz, a Mali-G31 MP2 GPU at 650 MHz and 1 GB of DDR3 RAM, a combination that places it in the affordable $75 - $100 bracket.

Performance comfortably covers the classic generations: NES, SNES (including FX-chip games), Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Mega Drive and 3D PlayStation titles run at 60 FPS. 2D PSP games are mostly playable, while 3D PSP titles need frameskip. N64 and Dreamcast are mostly playable only for the easier-to-emulate games. The platform list also includes arcade (MAME, Final Burn Neo, Neo Geo, CPS1-3), retro computers, MS-DOS and ScummVM.

The 3.5-inch IPS display offers HVGA 480 x 320 resolution, a 3:2 aspect ratio, 60 Hz and roughly 165 PPI, covered by a tempered glass lens. The modest resolution suits chunky-pixel retro games well.

For controls, the RGB20 provides a cross D-pad and a single analog stick, both placed low, four face buttons, horizontal L1, R1, L2 and R2, plus L3, R3, two function buttons, Reset and a dedicated WiFi on/off switch. The plastic body measures 93 x 108 x 20 mm and features ventilation cutouts. There is no rumble, and audio comes from a single front-facing mono speaker.

The battery is rated at 3000 mAh, and the console offers two USB-C ports, USB OTG support, a 3.5mm headphone jack, WiFi and Bluetooth. Games are stored on a microSD card.

The stock system is Linux, and modding is permitted: the community supports ArkOS and EmuELEC, firmwares that bring more polished interfaces and optimized emulators.

Ideal for: players who want an affordable vertical handheld for classic emulation up to PlayStation, with WiFi and custom firmware options.
