Raypodo Z35S is a gaming handheld launched in 2025. Powered by RK3326 (4-core, 1.5 GHz), 1 GB RAM. Features a 3.5" IPS LCD display (640 x 480). 3000 mAh battery. Runs Linux.

The Raypodo Z35S is a vertical retro handheld released in 2025 in the $0–$50 price bracket, with a reference price of around 40 dollars. Inside sits the Rockchip RK3326 SoC, with four Cortex-A35 cores running at 1.3–1.5 GHz, a dual-core Mali-G31 MP2 GPU at 650 MHz and 1 GB of DDR3 RAM.

Performance comfortably covers the classic generations: SNES Super FX titles and 3D PlayStation games run at 60 FPS. 2D PSP games are mostly playable, but 3D ones are not, while N64 and Dreamcast are also mostly playable. The platform list is very broad: the Game Boy family, NES, Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, Neo Geo, arcade through MAME and Final Burn Neo, Capcom Play System 1 and 2, PC Engine, Nintendo DS, plus ScummVM, Pico-8 and MS-DOS.

The 3.5-inch IPS screen has a 640 x 480 resolution, a 4:3 aspect ratio, roughly 229 ppi and a 60 Hz refresh rate. The 4:3 format is a natural fit for retro games, and the OCA-laminated tempered glass gives a clean image and extra protection.

In its vertical layout, the disc-style D-pad sits up top, joined by dual symmetric thumbsticks with L3/R3, four face buttons and a full set of L1, R1, L2 and R2 shoulder buttons. Dedicated power, function and volume buttons round things out. The plastic body measures 91 x 131.3 x 38.4 mm.

The 3000 mAh battery charges over USB-C, and the port also supports OTG. Games are stored on a microSD card, audio comes from a single front-facing mono speaker, and there is a 3.5mm headphone jack for private listening.

The console runs Linux and supports popular custom firmware such as ArkOS and EmuELEC, offering flexibility and a well-established community for setup and updates.

Ideal for: budget-minded players who want a compact vertical handheld for classic emulation up to PlayStation, with a 4:3 screen and full controls for analog games.
